Camera Gadgets

Because there are so many really cool gadgets out there, tech accessories have also started to rock. One of my favorite and most used items is my camera, maybe partly because of all the gear that goes with it: camera bags, memory cards and tripods have all found a special place in my heart.

My motto is, “If you think you have enough camera accessories, well, ya don’t.” Having pictures from everywhere doing everything is great. So, the more ways to take and see those pics the better it is!

NEW Crumpler 7 Million Dollar Home Camera Bag

The 6 Million Dollar Home bag was a little small and the Brazillion Dollar Home one was just too big! The 7 Millions Dollar Home camera bag is just right. Because of my affinity for carrying tons of cameras and accessories at once, I need a bag that doesn't scream “Hey, I’m full of cool equipment and you should steal me!” The fact that it's red—my favorite color—and has internal pockets, lots of padding and configurable dividers makes this my go-to everything bag.

NEW Joby Gorillapod Flexible Tripod

How many times have you been rock climbing, wanted proof you could dangle 1000’ in the air and there’s no one around to take your picture? There’s that bush growing out of a nearby crevice and if you could only attach your camera to it ….WAIT, you can do that! Just make sure you’ve packed a Gorillapod flexible tripod into your knapsack and you’re home and dry!

NEW HP PHOTOSMART A646

Well, if it were me up on that mountain, dangling from a mantel, and I had the photo, I would print that baby up and send it to everyone I know! The HP Photosmart A646 lets me edit, personalize and print all from the same cool printer. Let’s see, how’s this for a caption, “Hey everyone, this is me hangdogging before jamming to the zenith.”

NEW PanDigital Mail Photo Frame

Not just an ordinary digital picture frame, this one has a SIM card in it that allows you to email images directly to the device.

Whoa, and to think, I started out just wanting to see a few pictures of my vacation!
