Be discreet with Shootsac

Leonard Goh | Apr 02, 2008

If you don't like cumbersome camera bags that scream "Grab me!" to those around harboring ill intentions, the slim Shootsac may very well be the solution.

Made entirely out of neoprene (except the strap), the bag wraps around your body for extra comfort when out for a day's shoot. Plus, the material is water-resistant so you don't have to worry about wet weather.

The Shootsac may look small, but it has six pockets inside for lenses and other accessories. Even the large 70-200mm lens from different manufacturers can fit snugly inside the bag.

Although its designer Jessica Claire claimed that the Shootsac is fashionable, from the Web site it looks just like another satchel Grandpa Joe is carrying. Perhaps she got wind of it already and is offering customizable patterned covers for the bag for an additional cost. However, how discreet would the bag be then?

Although the Shootsac has yet to be available in Asia Pacific, you can still purchase it from its Web site for a price starting from US$152.15.

Nikon buys Canon for 22 million euros

Leonard Goh | Apr 01, 2008

All over the world, millions of hearts sank when they read on Foxnews.com that Nikon had bought over its long-time competitor, Canon, for what seemed a meager amount of 20 million euros.

Got you there, didn't I? Before Canon fans start to wail in despair, let's just set things straight. This is a clever April Fool's joke by the agency, and it is easy to distinguish because of the multiple spelling errors on the page that are unheard of on its Web site.

In the snippet, Fox reported that Nikon is going to remove Canon's line of professional EOS cameras and announced the D3x full-frame dSLR. This non-existent model (yet, we guess) is stated to have a 21.1-megapixel full-frame sensor and maximum ISO sensitivity of 320,000. It will also incorporate the best technology from the two Japanese imaging giants.

Well, we've all been waiting for such a camera. For those who are wondering if this model really does exist, there are rumors going around in cyberspace and even a Web site dedicated to this rumored model.

Update: We have removed the link to the hoax site as it is already inactive.
