Lately Robyn has been enjoying her Blackberry Curve 8530 and we've been looking at various cases to help protect it against bumps and scratches. Funny enough, Shawn from OCIA was giving away a Blackberry Curve case to anyone who had a phone that would fit. I quickly got in touch with Shawn and he was able to ship me the case for Robyn.
First Impressions

One of the accessories for my Canon EOS 7D that I have been looking at ever since I first got the camera has been the battery grip, the BG-E7. Lately it seems local camera stores have been running some pretty crazy pricing with this particular Canon camera accessory and I could not pass up the opportunity to purchase it while saving over $200! Before, I just didn't see the value … Continue Reading »

One of the items that some photographers might over look are the faster card readers. Depending on what camera equipment you use to capture your images with, the file sizes of those photos are starting to get larger and larger. I don't know about you, but with my current camera body (Canon EOS 7D) my RAW files are roughly 22MB in file size. Take into account I can easily shoot … Continue Reading »

If you've seen me out and about with my camera in the Vancouver area, chances are you've seen what I typically use on my photowalks; the Lowepro Topload Zoom AW.
When I first started looking for an easy to use bag that would fit my camera and largest lens (while attached) but not hamper me on my travels, I had looked at many different styles. I found that styles tend to … Continue Reading »

One thing that has been bugging me is my camera body, Canon EOS 450D aka Digital Rebel XSi. A while back ago I managed to sort of break my Canon XSi when a small mishap occurred, the camera fell over (while on a tripod) and jammed the EF 50mm f1.8 I had on it. Ever since then, one of the connectivity pins inside the camera (mainly the one that talks … Continue Reading »

One of my big complains about the Apple 3G iPhone is the quality of the built in 2MP camera. Some people might say that it is a cellphone and the camera doesn't really matter, but when it comes comparing the camera of the Apple 3G iPhone to that of other cellphone manufacturers' cameras, the iPhone camera just doesn't seem to compare these days. Perhaps in the newer iPhone the camera … Continue Reading »

Do you own an Apple iPhone or iPod Touch and love using Twitter on the go? There are a few Twitter applications out there for the iPhone/Touch but none are comparable to that of Tweetie.
Up until recently I have been using Twitterific on my Apple 3G iPhone and it has served me well as a Twitter client. Though there are some aspects of the application I did not like such … Continue Reading »

In today's world of electronic gadgets one such gadget I find people talking about more or even saying they want is a portable GPS unit for their vehicle. Well prior to this I have never used a GPS unit before though I was able to see a Garmin in action when Robyn and I were in Minnesota this year. I was curious as to how other vehicle GPS units perform … Continue Reading »
