Is that really a camera bag?

Most camera bags these days can hardly be said to be a fashion statement. Most look drab, though Crumpler has a couple that sport psychedelic colors. Still, at the end of the day, all these bags shout "I'm a camera bag!"

A photographer/blogger on Daily Relish saw the need for a more fashionable alternative, and worked on a line of bags for female photographers who want both style and function. According to her, it took two years of research including trials before she came up with the final design.

Casio debuts world's slimmest rugged shooter

Leonard Goh | Nov 19, 2009

So far, only Panasonic, Olympus, Fujifilm and Canon have tough cameras. But today, Casio joins the fray with the Exilim EX-G1. At 19.9mm thin, the company claims this to be the world's slimmest rugged point-and-shoot.

Aside from its hardy specifications (more below), one of the highlights of the G1 is its looks. Unlike the chunkier Olympus Mju Tough-8000 or the submarine-looking Canon PowerShot D10, the 12-megapixel Exilim sports a futuristic facade. The strong angular corners further accentuate the sci-fi styling.

Cool tees for shutterbugs

Leonard Goh | Nov 18, 2009

I own a couple of camera/photography related tees, and I have to say they are some of my favorite wear. But looking at PetaPixel's collection of such clothing makes me want to hit the links and get a couple of them.

My favorite has to be this "oh, crop" design which takes a leaf out of Adobe Photoshop's Crop tool. The Camera Display Panel shirt looks pretty awesome, too, and I'm still trying to figure out which dSLR display it copies. Of course, there are plenty of t-shirts on the market now which have a camera hanging around the neck, but that's so passe.

Yashica EZ F521 is not a digital Holga, but it's close

I have a penchant for toy cameras, and it all started with the Lomo L-CA. I've since sold the Russian shooter, but I've held on to the Holga as a camera I really enjoy using despite its quirks--light leaks, soft images, plastic lens and total lack of control. But that's what I like about such low-tech snappers.

Previously I craved about the Yashica EZ F521 which from its toy-like facade, could very well be a digital twin to the Holga. After trying out the camera for a weekend, I have to say that the Yashica is close, but definitely not quaint enough to be a Holga.

TtV (Through the Viewfinder) photography gives life to old TLRs

Twin lens reflex (TLR) cameras of olden days are making a comeback among some digital shutterbugs. By combining the aged shooter and a dSLR, photographers have created a new form of photography known as TtV (Through the Viewfinder). This can be quite a hard concept to grasp, but essentially you're pointing the lens of the dSLR at the viewfinder of the TLR and taking a picture of it.
