Olympus E-P1 and Panasonic's GF-1 get underwater case

Leonard Goh | Nov 27, 2009

German company 10bar has developed an underwater housing for Panasonic's latest Micro Four Thirds camera, the Lumix DMC-GF1. Made of aluminum and acrylic, the 1.1kg case can dive to depths of 60m. As with most good housings, users can also employ zoom when underwater via a dedicated ring which clamps onto the lens of the shooter.

Hard graft camera case stays on your hand while you shoot

Leonard Goh | Nov 25, 2009

Fancy a handmade leather case for your digicam? If you have US$73 to spare, perhaps you can consider the new High camera case which Austria company hard graft just announced. Made entirely from pure new wool felt and selected Nappa leather, this protective sleeve has a strip on the outside so you can slip your hand through it to hold the case while you shoot.

Personally, US$73 is a lot of money for a camera sleeve. I'd rather pay US$9 for a Lowepro hard case to put my compact in. But if you like such luxury items, check out hard graft's Web site for more details.

Tamrac's new foldable tripod is like tent poles

Currently, most tripod legs are hollowed and allow the extensions to fit inside. However, Tamrac has taken a different approach and designed what is possibly the most innovative tripod we've seen this year.

The ZipShot is a compact three-legged support whose design is inspired by collapsible tent poles. With a rugged bungee cord inside the legs, users just have to pull apart the joints and fold the tripod. The rounded edges at individual sections help to guide the aluminum legs to join together.

Wear the Polaroid ring and swear allegiance to real instant photography

Leonard Goh | Nov 23, 2009

Here's another fashion accessory to complement your Polaroid-related peripherals collection. This Good Time ring from Etsy has a slot at the side which allows you to slip your favorite picture into the wearable frame to show off.

The ring's face measures 2.8 x 2.3cm, and accommodates prints of only 1.8 x 1.8cm. Yes, that is small, but it's definitely a unique piece of jewelry which every Polaroid-devoted shutterbug should have besides the candle, paper weight and mirror.

Is that really a camera bag?

Leonard Goh | Nov 20, 2009

(Credit: Daily Relish)

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.
