Verbatim CameraMate ExpressCard CF Reader

Compact Flash reader for your ExpressCard slot

I am all for less cables and wires hanging from the USB ports of my notebook computer. And while that notebook is getting long in years, it still starts up and runs my imaging application just fine. And until I upgrade to the latest notebook with the features that I want, I will still have to hang things off the USB ports when traveling.

Lowepro Flipside 300 and Fastpack 250 camera backpacks

Lowepro offers two very useful backpacks for the photographer/traveler

The Lowepro Flipside 300 ($99.99) is the largest of the Flipside backpack/camera bag series at exterior dimensions of 10.2"W x 6.9"W x 17.5"D (Interior 9.1"W x 5.4"D x 15.9"D). It's available in Black, Arctic Blue/Black/Red/Black color schemes. The Flipside 300 is deceiving. I swear, this bag is bigger on the inside than the outside. It is surprisingly small looking but once you open it up the interior is spacious.

Nikon D300 digital SLR camera

Is the new Nikon D300 evolutionary or revolutionary?

Nikon hit the photographic community with a big one/two punch late last year announcing two new DSLR cameras, the D300 and the new full frame sensored D3. Both cameras deliver 12.3 megapixels with surprisingly similar characteristics. The D300, which I'll be writing about here is the cheaper of the two coming in at a list price of $1,799 compared to the D3's $4999.
