QuikPod will remind you a simple monopod. Make no mistake about it. One look and that's probably what you'd think and most likely walk away. But you'd be walking away from one sweet, well thought out, personal camera support solution.
QuikPod is one man's patented single legged camera support. Design to be your extra hands when you want to take..... [ read more ] Jan 08

We first spotted Sony's TX-5 at PMA in Anaheim. Sony's durable, ruggedized, slim, T-series shooter quickly became a favorite in the point-n-shoot crowd. Cameras that shoot underwater, in sand, mud, snow and can be dropped 3+ feet isn't new. Sony didn't pioneer this category, but they made it look sexy.
Just by looking at it, the TX-5 doesn't stand out from the slim-line T-series. ..... [ read more ] Aug 27
Behold, the backside of a Nikon D5000. One of my favorite cameras. Released about a year or so ago, this camera packs 720p video capture, 12 MP's, articulating LCD, and all the quality that comes with a Nikon and equally awesome Nikkor lenses.
Bias? You betcha arse, I am. Nikon continues to be one of my favorite (if not pricier) D-SLR lines.
So, it caught me off guard when I saw a couple..... [ read more ] Aug 05
Rugged cameras used to be big, bulky and usually built to look like if a Hummer and a pocket-point-n-shoot cam had off-spring.
Scary, but true.
They all did the job, but were usually 40%-50% thicker and bulkier than a point-n-shoot of the same caliber. They all cost more too. Sure you could sometimes get a plastic enclosure for your pocket shooter. They..... [ read more ] Jul 28
Like it or not, the 3D invasion is still comin'. Content is totally limited and gear can be prohibitively expensive, like with any tech that's "new" and "fresh" (which 3D, by far, isn't either).
You've got 3D TV's a plenty and Fuji's got the still camera out already. No doubt, other folks will soon follow.
Now, Panisonic's thrown out the first 3D camcorder.
It looks pretty sweet, if not at..... [ read more ] Mar 24
Before reading this review, you should know two things. 1) I don't own this camera, nor did I get a sample unit to test. 2) I might just be the slightest bit bias when it comes to FujiFilm. My very first camera was a FujiFilm and I still have it the stellar 35mm pocket cam today.
All that being said, these impressions are all from our extensive hands-on..... [ read more ] Feb 08
As we gear up for all the news cameras that will be shown at PMA 2010 in Anaheim, it's important to know how to look at and (if you're so inclined) how to purchase those cameras.
What features are important for you? Is a high-megapxiel count the only thing? (no) And of course, what the heck do you do with once you've paid the duckets and get your..... [ read more ] Feb 03
Tech Bucket Blog continues our look at not so new digital cameras that are still excellent shooters. Now, with PMA 2010 almost around the corner, there are some absolute great deals as price cutting begins in earnest.
Check out Canon's affordable D-SLR, EOS 450D also known Stateside at the Rebel XSi. Priced around $800 when it first launched in April..... [ read more ]
