Crumpler SLR Camera Bag Holds Lenses, Too
A lot of you really liked last week's stylish DSLR bag, the Acme SLR Bowler Camera Bag, but some voiced concern about there needing to be room for lenses as well.
I couldn't agree more, so I found one that accommodates it all and still looks pretty cute: The Crumpler 4 Million Dollar SLR Bag.
Despite the name, the bag is just $59, and while it's a bit sportier than I prefer, it's still inconspicuous as a camera bag, so it won't point thieves right to your expensive cargo.
4 Stylish SLR Camera Bags
One of the many who said they had an SLR? As fab as they are, they can be a pain to find a good-looking bag for. Need some help?
Finally! A Chic SLR Bag, Courtesy of Acme
I think if you read this site, then you know that plain black sporty-looking nylon just will not do to tote around my gadgets. I've found chic cases for my cell phones, my laptop, and my iPod, but I have had a heck of a time trying to find a bag for my DSLR.
It's over now — Acme Made has introduced their $40 SLR Bowler Camera Bag, which is cute in its own right, but I seriously love that it's not obviously a camera bag.
Geek Gear That's Honeymoon Approved
Just cause you're taking off for your honeymoon doesn't mean you have to leave all of your gadgets at home! Sure, you probably want to disconnect from your work and home lives for a bit (which means leaving that BlackBerry and work laptop behind), but all that time on the beach not only means soaking up some rays but also catching up on your Buzz-assigned homework. Check out some digital goodies that are totally honeymoon (and geek) approved in this slideshow!
Chic SLR Users, Meet the Shootsac
My hunt for the perfect accessories for my DSLR continues. The Crumpler bag is cute and sporty, and the ACME Made bag is fun, but they both lack a place for big lenses.
The Shootsac ($180) picks up the slack by providing a safe and attractive place to store your lenses (not to mention memory cards and your cell phone).
Cool Capture Reader Entry: A Coolpix View of the Bay
Reader sissysugar recently added some shots to the Cool Capture group in the GeekSugar Community:
I snapped this pretty picture of the Golden Gate Bridge and bay with my Nikon Coolpix S200. I love the camera because it takes good pictures and is light and fits in my bag, but I'm ready to graduate to an SLR for more advanced options. I don't really have any special technique.
Banana Republic Debuts Its Leather Camera Bag
As far as I know, Banana Republic hasn't really been in the gadget accessory game, but all the same, I'm happy to see its (maybe) first: the new Leather Camera Bag.
At 11 inches by 13 inches by 4 inches, the size is big enough for your SLR, and it's nice, simple, but luxe looks nab it a spot in my roster of stylish SLR camera bags.
But it is also $148 — pretty pricey.
Geek Out: Do You Use Your Cell Camera More Than the Real One?
These days everyone is a street photographer. I usually carry my camera in my gigantic bag 'o gadgets, but on the rare occasion I don't have it with me I am quick to whip out my cell phone and capture the sunset or my best friend's baby. That's just what Twitpic was made for, right?
Hands On With the Canon T1i (Now With More Photo Tips!)
I finally got some time over the weekend to play around with the Canon T1i and the verdict stands: it's amazing! Not only are the pictures crisp and clear, but overall, the camera is a joy to use. I bought an inexpensive camera bag from Best Buy last week to protect it while en route to various places in the city, and quickly realized how light the T1i really is — a few times I panicked because I wasn't sure the camera was actually in the bag!
Photo Tip: Use a Compact Mirror to Add and Diffuse Light
In my favorite simple SLR tips, I recommended that you either replace your onboard flash with a separate flash that can be angled to diffuse light or to use a diffuser for the best results when you're shooting indoors. My next tip is another way to diffuse light — but this tool is something you probably have in your makeup bag right now.
A compact mirror can bounce the light from your flash just like a diffuser you buy does.
