Canon gadget bag. Excellent camera bag for your canon gear.

Advantages: Big enough for the average user, strong, comfortable to carry, flexible in use.
Disadvantages: More than one very long super-telephoto lens would be more difficult to accommodate.

Canon gadget bag When I recieved this bag I expected the bag to be slightly bigger than it actually was, but it is very flexible to use and you can fit a surprising amount of gear into it, without it being so big that it is awkward to use. I have two camera bodies, an EOS 40D & an EOS 50D, not the smallest EOS cameras by a long way, and four lenses, a 10-22mm wide angle, a 17-85mm, a 60mm macro and a 70-300mm tele-zoom, plus a few acessories, ...
...another lens, lenshoods or a flashgun should I need it. The bag is designed so that all your equipment is easily accessible, with everything to hand, and the dividers keep everything in place, so you are not continually searching around for things lost in the corners of the bag, in fact there are no sharp corners inside this bag for anything to become lodged in. If you have some very long super telephoto L series lenses, you could fit one laid down ...

Review of Canon Gadget Bag 1EG Professional Case Camera

An Exceedingly Comfortable Camera Backpack!

Advantages: Lightweight, Very Comfortable, Airline Compliant
Disadvantages: Not the Prettiest thing

...bag also) and this, the tamrac Expedition 5. Both are small enough that you will have no problems taking them on the plane, but large enough that you can carry all your essential gear. It's waterproof, so i can rain heavily on it and you gear is protected. It's also exceedingly well padded, so if you drop or knock it, nothing inside gets damaged. I can't tell you enough though, just how comfortable this is to wear. And this is the most important ...
...terms of photographic storage. The tamrac has the slight edge in being designed more recently and hence has a few nice features like the front rip-away pockets for easy acccess to memory cards or filters etc, unlike the lowepro which you have to take off and open. The whole package has been well thought out and executed and i highly recommend it to anyone who is into photography and wants to comfortably carry their kit around, protected. ...

Review of Tamrac Expedition 5 Model 5575 Rucksack Camera

It's a tripod Jim, but not as we know it..

Advantages: Lightweight (325g), compact, extremely flexible, rugged, inexpensive, attaches to almost anything!
Disadvantages: Only works with genuinely compact cameras

The Joby Gorillapod - goes where no other tripod dares to tread Introduction When you say the word 'tripod' it conjures up a certain image, those three-legged extendable pole accessories which Grandad always insisted on getting down from the loft religiously every Christmas to take the obligatory 'group family photo' (in which no one would ever all smile at the same time, ever). Rusty, wobbly, stiff, rigid and rarely a better solution than ...
...This is where the Joby Gorillapod comes in, and what an entrance it makes! Design Genuine innovation doesn't just take an old idea and refine it or improve on it, genuine innovation goes right back to the drawing board and totally rethinks the original problem and comes up with a totally new way to solve it. And that's exactly what the good people at Joby did with this unasuming, yet intensely practical gadget. Yes, it's a tripod in the technical ...

Review of Joby Gorillapod Tripod

Gorillapod in the mist!

Advantages: Small, easy to use
Disadvantages: None

Like many other people there are 2 situations that really annoy me when I'm taking photos. The first is when you want a photo of yourself or you and a friend / partner, and there's no one else there to take the photo. How do we usually get round this? Either hold the camera at arms length, usually ending up with half a face and no scenery or balance the camera somewhere on timer and hope for the best!! The second is that of night time (scenery) photos. ...
...hand, but if my night time photography is anything to go by, I shake like I've gone cold turkey!!! Forever am I left with bleary streaks of light and there never seems to be anything to balance the camera on at the time or it is not flat enough if there is! So with these annoyances in mind I decided to buy a mini tripod to finally add another string to my photographic bow. After looking at a few normal ridged tripods I came across the Gorillapod ...

Review of Joby Gorillapod Tripod

Vivitar 285 review

Advantages: durable, adjustable power
Disadvantages: slow recycling, heavy

I got given this by a friend who knew I needed a flash gun (but couldn't afford one) and he had one to spare. Unfortunately he didn't have the manual so working out how to use it was a bit of a guessing game. Positives: Very sturdy and durable. Flash direction can be adjusted up and down (from shooting directly towards the subject to straight up for bouncing light of the ceiling). There is a switch at the back to turn it on and a light which goes ...
...of the flash is adjustable - this is where you may have problems though if you don't have the manual as some of the power settings are denoted in colours which if you don't have the manual, you don't know what they represent. There is a button to trigger the flash separately from using the camera as a trigger (this is good for tesing if it's working!) Takes AA batteries - easy to get hold of. Has a 'lock' lever which can be used to secure it to the ...
