Tamrac 5769 Velocity 9x Pro Photo Sling Pack

Daily Deals — Tue, 11 Dec 2007 16:20:31 GMT

The Velocity 9x - Pro Sling Pack holds a pro digital or film SLR with a grip (such as Canon's EOS 1D Series or Nikon's D2 Series) and a 70-200mm zoom lens attached. Inside the main compartment, the camera with lens attached is suspended on two vertical, foam-padded dividers that are internally reinforced with rigid plastic. The Velocity 9x can be carried comfortably like a backpack, but when swung around to the front, the secure zippered Quick Flip Top opens away from the body for fast and convenient access to camera gear. A well-padded sling strap comfortably distributes the weight, but need not be removed to quickly access photo equipment. A Tuck-A-Way waist belt allows the Velocity 8x to be used comfortably during vigorous activities such as hiking or biking. The front pocket has organizer pockets inside to keep a mobile phone, PDA or photo accessories within easy reach. It also features Tamrac's US-patented Memory & Battery Management System that uses red flags to identify available memory cards and batteries from ones that are used up. A pocket inside the lid stores filters and lens caps. Customize this sling pack with Tamrac's Modular Accessory System components. Retailer: Amazon.com Price: $79.99*...

Battery Buying Guide

Jesse F — Mon, 19 Nov 2007 14:44:48 GMT

Let's face it. Sometimes it's difficult to keep track of which batteries go with each individual battery-operated electronic gift or gadget. Most of the time the item will say something like, "2 AA Batteries not included." By this time there are probably a number of questions running through your mind like, "Which brand of battery is the best? Which lasts the longest? Would it be better to get a rechargeable or standard?" These are all great questions, and will be explored throughout this article. For starters, before you buy a battery, make sure you check for recommendations on the box your gadget came in. You may even be delightfully surprised - there are a few electronics which come with batteries included. If this isn't the case, at least you will know what type of battery it calls for: A, C, D, AA, AAA, or 9V just to name a few. The item may even recommend a rechargeable battery. Beyond what's on the box, here are a few general tips for choosing batteries... If you want to satisfy your electric device with a high drain (like a digital camera), use a lithium battery or an alkaline battery made for such a...

Daily Deal: Canon Digital Rebel XTi 10.1MP Digital SLR Camera

Daily Deals — Sat, 10 Nov 2007 17:02:03 GMT

This camera is known as the "Digital Rebel XT" in the United States and the "350D" in the rest of the world. It is not to be confused with the "Digital Rebel XTi" (also known as the "400D"), which is a newer, more expensive camera. The XT is a very capable camera that takes great pictures and we're recommending it largely because it is not the latest camera that Canon have released in this product segment. When Canon released the XTi, they were forced to drop the price of the XT dramatically. This means that a beginner can now get their hands on this tremendous camera for a song. The camera and a decent 18-55mm lens can be purchased together brand new for around $500. Used versions can be had for $300 - $400. The Digital Rebel XT uses Canon's high-quality 8 megapixel CMOS sensor. It supports the use of all Canon's EF and EF-S lenses. The XT can be used in full automatic mode with good results, but it also has easy manual controls that can be used as the photographer wants to experiment with more creative control. This is a great camera in its own right, but it's...
