One Tough Little Camera
Casio Exilim EX-G1 12.1 MP Slim-line Endurance Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom (Red)
by Ernest Lilley
The Casio EX-G1 is as rugged a camera as the Casio G-Shock is a watch. While it's a pretty tough customer, it's also smart and good looking in either its red or black trim. The EX-G1 has plenty of features you'll find handy whether in the great outdoors or at a great party, including a host of automatically selected best shot modes, a movie mode that's always ready to go, and even a high intensity LED recording light to light your video recording. In fact, this is a very feature rich camera, yet one that slips into your pocket easily and can be counted on to record the most exciting moments of your adventures, no matter how rough the going gets.

Small In Size, Gary Fong's Origami Fold Flat Diffuser Doesn't Fold Under Pressure
Gary Fong Origami Fold Flat Diffuser
by Charles Mohapel
If you know someone who is serious about their photography, then you know that even if they're satisfied with their equipment, they're probably looking to improve their gear, even if it's only one or two pieces. For some people that means buying a more powerful flash that mounts in the hot shoe on top of the camera, but that often produces a harsh overlit image that is not flattering for your human subjects.One way to soften the light is to attach a diffuser. Coming in a variety of sizes, shapes, and materials, each model has its advantages and disadvantages.
Rolling Along With Think Tank Photo's Airport TakeOff Rolling Backpack
Think Tank Photo Airport TakeOff Rolling Backpack
by Charles Mohapel
Have you ever had to run the entire length of the airport terminal with a heavy backpack crammed full of camera gear? Or faced numerous flights of stairs with a loaded roller bag? How about a wheeled backpack that you loaded with your camera bag, but the straps keep getting tangled up in the wheels and consequently seriously damaged?
If you answered yes to any or all of these questions, then take a close look at the Think Tank Photo Airport TakeOff Rolling Backpack and its quickly deployable/concealable backpack straps.
Tamron's AF 18-270 Zoom - One Lens To Rule Them All
Tamron AF 18-270mm f/3.5-6.3 Di II VC LD Aspherical IF Macro Zoom Lens with Built in Motor for Nikon
by Ernest Lilley
Tamron calls its Tamron AF 18-270mm f/3.5-6.3 zoom lens travel insurance, and we have to agree. In fact, we'll go one better. Don't leave home without it, at least if you have a choice. Its has excellent optical characteristics across an unprecedented 15x zoom range, built in vibration reduction, and thanks to being designed to work with APS-C sensors it's small, light, and fast.
Verbatim Premium 32GB SDHC Card (Class 6) (Product Number 96871)
by Charles Mohapel
With many of the latest prosumer/serious amateur digital cameras using SDHC memory cards, having a standard SD card means you're not getting the most out of your new camera. And for me evaluating these same new cameras at their best means getting my hands on the biggest Class 6 SDHC card from Verbatim, namely their Premium SDHC card.
Think Tank Photo TT305 Pro Modulus Set
by Charles Mohapel
Until I read about the specialized Think Tank Photo Streetwalker HardDrive backpack and Pixel Sunscreen V 2.0 in Photography Bay's free email newsletter, I had never even heard of the company. This was quickly remedied when I visited their website and while their product selection was quite impressive, their Design Room page (see hyperlink above) was even more impressive.
Knowing how frequently my equipment needs can change over the course of a weekend or longer away from home, I was keen on getting the Pro Modulus Set in Extra Large and evaluating it for myself.
A Digital Projector - Good Enough For Photographers and Artists?
Powerlite 1735W 3LCD Projector
by Ernest Lilley
The slide show is dead...long live the side show--digital style. Sure it costs as much as a decent DSLR, but it's just the ticket for getting your shots in front of lots of people, whether at a Photo Meetup or your one man show. We're planning on looking at a series of digital projectors for critical viewing, and we're starting with the lightweight, extremely versatile Epson PowerLight 1735W.
Pacsafe CarrySafe 100 Camera Strap
by Charles Mohapel
I discovered the Pacsafe CarrySafe 100 camera strap while reading one of the regular emails I receive from Magellan's Catalog. Having purchased a Pacsafe 85L backpack and bag protector for its protective properties in May 2000, I was well aware of the company's fine products.
Reading about the Pacsafe CarrySafe 100 camera strap, I was interested in taking a closer look at one and evaluating it in action.
