The LowePro Fastpack 250
Because of the recent security issues at the airports and such, I decided that my trip to California in a few weeks would be a lot easier if I were to reduce the number of bags I have to two: my checked baggage and my camera bag. But I need to have my laptop because [...]
My new camera
I don’t have it yet, hopefully later this week (crossing fingers, because I want to take it a baseball game on Sunday). It’s the new Canon Powershot SX1 IS. This camera has been available in Europe and elswhere for about six months. There was question as to whether or not it would make its way to the U.S.
Canon’s new PowerShot!
I’ll be getting the new Canon PowerShot SX1 IS later this year. The camera comes out in April and the specs on this baby are simply awesome! You get HD video at 30 fps and get this, it has a mini-HDMI plug that’ll allow you to plug into your HD TV! It’s got 4 fps [...]

While most tutorials focus on taking photos of the people who play dress up and getting unique shots, there is virtually nothing about how to take photos while from inside the convention hall where they lighting is problematic.
My camera sucks, please help me
The other day I was at Circuit City looking at some computer stuff and overheard someone talking to an associate about how they always take horrible pictures. Their camera, from what I heard was a Canon PowerShot (don’t recall the model number), and the person’s pictures always turn out dark and grainy. As I’m standing [...]

Shopping for a new camera
It never ceases to amaze me the reviews on Amazon.com about various cameras. Every so often you’ll find someone saying that “this camera doesn’t perform as well as my Mark 1″ or “the autofocus doesn’t work” or “this camera’s flash doesn’t peform well.” One of things that I’ve learned is that crappy pictures are often [...]
