Last year, I had the opportunity to review Professor Kobre’s Lightscoop – an accessory for cameras with a pop-up flash. The Lightscoop is designed to redirect the harsh, direct light of the pop-up flash to the ceiling to wash the scene was a softer, more even light. It worked great with my Nikon D80 to [...]
Creating framed pictures and photo books from your own snapshots is a great way to add your own flair to your home and gifts. Need some more ideas of things to do with your photography? MOO to the rescue with custom StickerBooks, MiniCards and a special MiniCard Mosiac frame.
Instead of choosing pre-framed artwork for the walls in your home or office, how about using some of your own pictures for a custom touch. Canvas on Demand gives you a wide variety of choices as far as frame styles and photo effects. They offered me a coupon to try their service. Let’s see the [...]
I fancy myself a pretty decent photographer. At least as far as macro photography for the product shots in my reviews are concerned. I’m not sure that I’m all that great with general photography though. I have a goal to work on that in this coming year and have even considered purchasing a Micro 4/3′s [...]
Timbuk2, maker of rugged, high-end messenger bags, has finally gotten around to addressing the needs of their photography-loving users with the release of their new Snoop Camera Messenger bag. The Snoop looks a lot like Timbuk2′s standard and laptop messenger bags, but includes a padded and removable compartmentalized insert that will hold and organize your [...]
Even though I probably take over a 1000 pictures a month with my digital camera, I don’t consider myself a photographer. I don’t really know the ins and outs of F-stops, aperture, ISO or any of that other photography jargon that the pros know. All I know is that I like snapping pictures, either macro [...]
If you own an SLR camera, chances are that it’s Black and chances are, you also own a strap for it that is also Black. Are we noticing a trend here? Shall I be so bold as to say what we’re all thinking? B-O-R-I-N-G! Capturing Couture offers a wide variety of camera straps for both [...]
Remember the Quirky Beamer iPhone case review I posted earlier this week that has a built in LED flash? Here’s a better option in my opinion. It’s the SparkPLug Plug-in LED flash for the iPhone. Unlike the Beamer, the SparkPlug will work with any model iPhone. It’s a tiny LED flash that plugs into the [...]
The iPhone 3G / 3GS built in camera does a pretty decent job taking pictures. I especially like the macro capability. There’s one feature missing from the camera that we’re seeing added more and more to mobile phone cameras. An LED flash. Sure, you can upgrade to the new iPhone 4 which does have one. [...]
The HandlePod is a folding tripod that you can hold in your hand or brace against a solid object. The cool part about it is that it has 4 feet that will aid significantly in steadying your camera for low light shots. The camera mount can rotate on 3 axis, for easy positioning. You can [...]
Mobile photography just got a whole lot classier with the invention of digital photography app Hipstamatic. This vintage-inspired, old school photo app is easily the grooviest and most addictive app of its kind available to iPhone junkies.
Sony has finally announced their new camera to compete in the Micro 4/3 segment. You can check out all the details on their web site. If you are not familiar with this segment, it is characterized by smaller size compared to dSLRs and larger sensor than point and shoots. These cameras also have the ability [...]
This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Eye-Fi. All opinions are 100% mine. I have always prided myself on being an impartial reviewer. I have no problem at all letting everyone know when I dislike a product… even if the company that supplies that product happens to be one of our [...]
I knew the iPad would make a perfect device for eBook reading, newspaper reading, web surfing and game playing. But I didn’t realize that it could also be the perfect device to replace large format coffee table books. You know the books I’m talking about, the ones you see in the bargain book areas near [...]
It’s not going to replace my Canon G11 anytime soon, but I think the iPhone 3GS’s built in camera does a pretty good job for quick snapshots. When I say pretty good, I’m talking image quality and not camera features. Let’s face it, the only features of the camera app are the shutter and video toggle buttons. [...]
Many digital cameras feature face detection, even smile detection. But what about Buddy and Fluffy? The FujiFilm Finepix Z700-series digital camera features Pet Detection. Billed as the world’s first, the Pet Detection camera, it can detect up to 10 dog or cat faces at a time. How does it work? More info after the jump.
Taking pictures of products for our reviews is a big part of what we do here on The Gadgeteer. I’m pretty picky when it comes to my review images and am always looking for tips, tricks and of course gadgets, to make my job easier. The LightRight Professional Reflector System is a handy kit that [...]
While it is called a “multimedia photo viewer”, think of the Epson P-7000 as a miniature quality control system for in-the-field photography. If you’ve ever taken shots in a hard-to-reach location and tried to asses the quality of those shots in the field by squinting at your camera’s LCD screen, you can certainly appreciate the [...]
Today at PMA 2010 (Photo Marketing Association), Joby announced two new products. The Gorillapod Magnetic and the Ballhead X camera mounts. These products continue the tradition of their popular flexible camera tripod, but add a few new features. The Gorillapod Magnetic contains powerful magnets in its feet, allowing it to be anchored to any magnetic [...]
The Photolink One-Touch from Pandigital might be an easy way for people to quickly archive old family snapshots without needing a computer. It’s a 600 DPI scanner that can handle up to 5 x 7 inch images and saves the files to a memory card using its built-in 5-in-1 card reader. The price is nice [...]
