Review of Olympic 527 black navy outdoor camera sling shot bag backpack for digital SLR cameras and 3 lenses

August 31, 2010

I purchased this bag for a Nikon D90 and it has worked very well.It has a clever side load system allowing you quick access to the camera by unzipping the cover only partially and to the whole compartment when fully unzipped.The main compartment stores the camera with a small zoom and lens hood attached.I carry a flash unit and an ac/dc power supply but the power supply could easily be another lens.There is a good size top compartment for accessories and several zippered pouches for cleanning equipment, spare batteries, cables and the like.

The bag is a sling shot type bag, meaning that it has a single shoulder strap which is very comfortable.For ‘day trippin’” the bag feels fine just placing the strap over your shoulder.For a more secure feel, there is a strap that runs around the back, holding the pack tight and keeping it from slipping off.

The bag is well built with well designed use of space.If it is big enough for your equipment, I highly recommend this bag.

Product Description
Interior Dimensions H- 9 x D- 4.5 x W- 9 inches (22 x 11.25 x 22 cm) The Glacier comes with two adjustable dividers and a padded U shaped lens cradle, providing two convenient ways to load a SLR camera with room for one or two lenses. Option One: Load your camera horizontally with grip up and with up to a six lens attached and resting securely in the cradle; Option Two: Remove the U Cradle and load the camera vertically with the back of the body facing up with up to a six inch lens attached and room for a second lens up to six inches tall on the other side of the divider. The Glacier is an extremely well made, functional and user-friendly gadget camera bag. The lid opens away from the body for obstruction free access while carrying the bag. The bag is constructed with water resistant nylon fabric. The contents are protected by dense closed cell foam, plastic panels and soft felt like lining with a non abrasive interior. The Glacier includes two comfortable and dual adjustable shoulder straps for carrying the bag as a shoulder bag, backpack or tummy bag. Also included are; a lens changing bag come weather jacket, a lens cloth, snap hook for keys and rubber bungee straps for carrying a small tri-pod, wind breaker jacket or umbrella below the bag. Increase the carrying capacity by attaching one of M-ROCK’s modular bags the Ozark 505, Niagara 506, Rocky Mountain 507 & Mississippi 533 to both sides of the Glacier. Wear the Glacier as a comfortable fanny pack by attaching M-ROCK’s Modular Belt 530.

Review of Digital Concepts +1 +2 +4 +10 Close-Up Macro Filter Set with Pouch (55mm)

August 30, 2010

I searched for these after I saw them reccommended in a digital photogrpahy book.The author reccommended them as a fantastic money saver.He was right!I’ve taken some amazing macro shots with them since!Even one where you can see my reflection on the tip of a fine point, ball point pen.
Hundreds of dollars cheaper than buying lenses and still highly effective!!

Product Description
The Digital Concepts 55mm Macro Filter Kit includes four close-up diopters at +1, +2, +4 and +10 magnification, and a durable carrying case. These filters simply screw onto the front of any 55mm lens, and will maintain resolution and picture clarity while magnifying image size. Plus, these filters are double-threaded, which means you can combine them to achieve increased magnification, or you can attach additional optics such as polarizers or skylight filters. These macro filters are ideal for photographing small items and focusing in on details of coins, flowers, jewelry and insects, as well as industrial photos of miniaturized components, medical and dental laboratory work and other scientific photography.

The filter can be rotated to determine the amount of reflection to be removed. Lens filters are translucent pieces of glass placed in front of a camera lens to alter or adjust the light entering the camera, and more importantly to protect the camera lens. Lens filters improve photographs by giving you control over light and allowing you to emphasize the features of a scene that you consider most important. This filter kit is a combination of the three essential filters no photographer should be without.

Review of Nikon Carrying Case and Rechargeable Battery Kit for Coolpix 2200 & 3200

August 29, 2010

Got this item for my Nikon digtial camera that recommended using this type of rechargable battery. The initial charge took all night and still didn’t charge completely. The discharge button “Refresh” is suppose to discharge the battery then charge it to minimize “charge memory” was also very slow and on many occasions locked up forcing me to remove the batteries and redo the process before getting a sucessful recharge. As for perfomance, it was average to mediocre depending on flash with the Coolpix 5600. This was due to a setting in the camera software where I had to set the camera to coolpix batteries. The other two choices were regular alkaline and other rechargeable battery brands. After making the proper settings the batteries performed very well. I got this charger as part of an accessory set with 4 batteries and carrying case. The camrera I have is a Coolpix 5600. I can recommend these batteries but to get the initial charge takes some work and if the user didn’t read the entire manual for the camera (126 pages) the battery performance would be mediocre. There wasn’t anything to direct me to check my camera software. An average non-tech person would have had poor results. The camera needs a way to automatically sense the Coolpix batteries.

Review of Tamrac Adventure 7 Photo Backpack (Grey/Black) + Tripod + Accessory Kit for Canon Rebel XSi, XS, T1i, XTi, 40D, 50D, Nikon D40, D60, D5000, D90, D300, D700, Olympus Evolt E-30, E-450, E-520, E-620, and Sony Alpha A200, A300, A350, A700 Digital SLR Cameras

August 29, 2010

Bought the Tamrac Adventure 7 Photo Backpack as part of a kit including a tripod and accesory kit from Cameta Camera. My shipment came really quickly with no problems or delays…would buy again from this seller. I own a Nikon D80 and wanted an inconspicuous camera bag that would not draw attention and would be good to travel with. I initially checked out the Tamrac Adventure 6 at my local Circuit City and the bag just seemed a little on the small side, so I decided to order the Tamrac Adventure 7 which is larger but of the same design. Overall the bag is perfect for my camera gear…the bottom compartment is very customizable for any configuration or type of gear. I currently do not have extra lenses or flash guns so I configured it to carry my D80 lens first in the center with a Canon P&S on one side followed by the D80 charger and cords on the other side. The outer pocket is quite small and mainly good for memory cards and extra batteries if they are not too large. The top compartment is roomy enough to hold snacks or other items for hiking and makes this bag a perfect choice for traveling. I am very impressed with this bag so far and the only thing to note is that it is difficult to remove your camera whilst the bag is on your shoulder. This is not a problem for me so far as I just did not want a standard over the shoulder bag. The tripod that came with the kit is a great starter tripod but I do intend to upgrade to a more expensive model for travel and hiking that’s lighter and more compact.

Product Description
