iPhone SLR Mount Review

Posted 01/04/2012 at 9:45am | by Ambika Subramony

Comments

People often ask us what the “best” camera is. While you can debate the merits of various pieces of hardware, when it comes down to it, the best camera is the one you have with you when you want to take a photograph. Which, for a lot of people, ends up being an iPhone. The iPhone camera is great for snapshots, but what if you could use all the glass from your SLR to push your iPhone to even greater creative possibilities? For that, you’ll need Turtleback’s iPhone SLR Mount.

Domke F-3X Super Compact Bag Review

Posted 08/15/2011 at 9:02am | by Florence Ion
0
Comments

Your DSLR shoots luscious pictures…so why do you dread taking it with you? Blame your camera bag. Chances are, it’s bulky, boxy, and not all that comfortable to carry. That explains why the Domke F-3X won me over so completely when I recently used it to schlep my gear while shooting in the misty hills of Iceland and the rainy streets of Sweden. The bag’s waterproof coating quickly emerged as a priceless feature, but over time, what I dug most is how comfortable it is to wear for prolonged periods, even when loaded to the gills. Its stylish, super-cool looks also just smoke the boxy chunkiness of most other DSLR bags out there.

Nikon D7000 DSLR Review

Posted 05/24/2011 at 9:30am | by Rod Lawton
2
Comments

If you’ve moved beyond point-and-shoots but aren’t quite ready to make the jump to a pro-level DSLR, Nikon’s impressive new D7000 wants to be your go-to shooter. The D7000 takes over for the old D90, but it also manages to compete well with the D300S, the next model up. It’s right on the border between Nikon’s consumer and pro lines, but new video capabilities make the D7000 appealing to hobbyists and prosumers alike.

Scout DSLR Lens Review

Posted 01/20/2011 at 1:56pm | by Zack Stern
0
Comments

With the right lens, your DSLR can see whatever you want it to -- close-up wildlife shots, low-light pictures without a flash, family portraits in close quarters -- and that flexibility is a big part of why these cameras are so popular. As you build up a collection of lenses that takes advantage of that selling point, your first choice after the kit lens should be a general-purpose wide lens or something with a big aperture. But after that, the creative possibilities of a Lensbaby Scout make it a terrific third lens to carry in your bag -- its 11mm fisheye perspective can create fun, unique photos and its interchangeable glass can do tricks that standard lenses can’t touch.

Polaroid 300 Instant Camera Review

Posted 08/26/2010 at 9:15am | by Florence Ion

Comments

After a two-year hiatus, Polaroid is back with an instant camera that has a whole new look and feel. The Polaroid 300 instant camera is a cross between the company’s now-antiquated One600 model and the i-Zone pocket camera from the early 2000s, and taking photos with it is just as much fun as it was with its predecessors.

Nikon Coolpix L110 Review

Posted 08/16/2010 at 12:26pm | by Rod Lawton
0
Comments

The CoolPix L110 is a low-cost superzoom from Nikon’s “L” line of consumer shooters, and while its 15x zoom is attractive, the camera’s other features are somewhat limited. For users with modest needs, the 12-megapixel L110 offers straightforward photography at a good price, but advanced shooters will quickly outgrow the L110’s minimal feature set.

The iPhone 4 Review

Posted 07/08/2010 at 2:45pm | by Paul Curthoys

Comments

The iPhone 4 isn’t particularly well-named. That’s because one of the things you’ll use this ingenious little device for least is making boring old phone calls. Between the terrific dual cameras, the zippy performance, and the luscious Retina Display, we were quickly absorbed in photography, games, web-browsing, and loads more. It’s truly a dramatic leap forward from the not-shabby-at-all iPhone 3GS.

Nikon Coolpix P100 Review

Posted 07/07/2010 at 9:38am | by Rod Lawton

Comments

The P100 is Nikon’s latest compact superzoom camera. It’s a further refinement of the P80 and P90 models that came before it, with a new backlit 10-megapixel CMOS sensor designed to improve low-light picture quality, a slightly increased 26x zoom range and--most exciting of all--full HD movie mode with stereo sound.

USBfever 8x Telescope with Hard Case for iPhone 3G/3GS

Posted 04/29/2010 at 8:57am | by Leslie Ayers

Comments

Although the camera in the iPhone got a boost to 3 megapixels in the 3G-to-3GS refresh, it’s still not what anyone would call “powerful.” So if you’re among the many iPhone owners who take a lot of photos with your smartphone, it may be time to supersize that built-in camera with an add-on like the USBfever 8X Telescope with Hard Case. What you get for your $29 is a telescope-style fixed optical zoom lens (which attaches to an included case) and a miniature tripod that steadies your iPhone while you shoot photos or video. The lens lets you manually zoom in on a subject up to 8X, so you can get much closer without ever moving a muscle.

Nikon Coolpix S1000pj

Posted 04/12/2010 at 9:35am | by Zack Stern

Comments
A dozen new kinds of point-and-shoot cameras flood electronics stores each year, and that’s often just from a single company. To distinguish itself, Nikon took an interesting approach with its Coolpix S1000pj. Instead of focusing on pictures, this camera shines--literally. It can project photos and movies on a wall so everyone can see them. We like the concept and had fun presenting instant vacation slideshows while still traveling. But the average quality of both its photos and its projection make this camera purely a technoholic’s toy. Discerning photographers and home buyers on a budget should think twice.
