CowboyStudio 2400 Watt Three Point Continuous Lighting Kit with Stands, 20x20 Softboxes, Lights, and Case for Photo and Video Review

Overall, this is a good product if you're looking for something affordable and of decent quality. Like most other reviews, I agree that it's best not to disassemble and reassemble it several times; it's best to stay in a studio. There are absolutely no instructions whatsoever, so as a beginner who has never worked with lights before I found it challenging to find good instructions from the actual Cowboy Studio website and YouTube channel. However, this instructional video really helped me: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eoef5cnU03Y

One of the LED lights wasn't working (and the set doesn't come with any extra lights), so I would advise to buy extra lights just in case. Aside from an electrical issue I had due to being overseas, I would recommend this as a good starting kit for lighting.

HP A636 Compact Photo Printer Review

This is a great printer with lots of fun features, but the ink is far to expensive to use for your everyday printing needs. I estimate that the prints cost me about $1.20 per print. I can take my SD card to the corner drug store and have them printed for less than half that amount. If I had known the ink was so expensive, I never would have purchased this printer. Next time I will do my homework. If you just want to use this for special prints here and there, then buy it. If you are an avid printer like me... forget this printer.

Think Tank ~ Retrospective 30, Pinestone Review

I have different bags for different needs. I like the well-padded stuffy bags for storage or going from points A to B. For working out of, going to a hockey game, or party, I prefer something small and minimalist such as a holster bag. And I have bags for these purposes.

However, a need I was looking to fill was a bag that could hold my life for 12+ hours during a busy work and school day. I work and go to school at Arizona State University. It's a big campus and I do a lot of walking. My wish was for a bag that could do and hold the following:

* Lunch and snacks
* School notebook
* Laptop or netbook
* Professional size DSLR
* Point-and-shoot camera, scientific calculator, wrist brace
* Miscellaneous pens, pencils, etc.
* Be comfortable for a 1 mile walk from my car to office, to and from classes during the day, and back again at night.
* Not be so gigantic as to be silly looking during the days where I don't take all of the above with me.

I have a large book bag that I was using to carry all of the above, except for the DSLR. On the days I brought my camera, I carried it in a Canon Deluxe Gadget Bag 100EG on my opposite shoulder.

I first tried the Think Tank Urban Disguise 50. This is a fantastic bag. For my particular needs though, it was too narrow for my Canon 7D. I didn't like the tight fit. The UD 50 version 2.0 has an expansion zipper but it seemed like a workaround, and I didn't like the look of it when expanded. The UD 50 is also more structured and business like. Not necessarily a bad thing, but in my case I thought it looked too much like luggage, especially in a classroom setting.

I had resolved myself to either leaving my camera or laptop at home. Then I noticed the Retrospective 30 is actually wider than the Urban Disguise line! Hmmm?? I ordered one. I'm glad I tried it!

The Retrospective 30 holds all of the above. When first filling it, I immediately found that my lunch bag was not going to fit in the main compartment with my bottles and camera body. But then!...I noticed just how BIG the two front side compartments really are: 8" tall, 6" wide, 3" deep. I can't my entire lunch (with ice pack) in one pocket, except for sandwich bread which I usually put in the other front pocket.

I've uploaded a few photos to better illustrate my comments. The bag came with the following items:
2) holster style inserts
2) 7" x 6" dividers
3) 7.5" x 3.75 dividers
1) all weather cover.
1) Metal spring hook key ring (attached to inner pocket)
Note: the dividers are VERY thin. I've tried to show this in my attached photos.

My only real gripes with this bag are about the the external and internal zippered pockets. Inexplicably, the external pocket does not come up as high as the top of the bag. Although the bag has the height to enclose a standard 8.5" x 11" spiral notebook, in practice the edge sticks out about one inch :( Similar issue with the inside zippered pocket. I never expected this bag could hold a laptop, and it's not advertised as such. However, I feel that Think Tank could not have made this bag more netbook friendly. It would have been sooo easy guys! A typical netbook is about what, 10" X 7" or so, yes? Unfortunately, the top of the inner pocket does not come up as high as the top of the bag. What could have easly been a 7.5" deep pocket is only a 6.5" deep pocket. Anyway, the saving grace for the two zippered pockets is that they are still usable for my needs; I just cannot zip them closed.

I have one other pocket issue; I would have preferred one or two more small pockets for better organized storage of small incidentals. Card reader, eyeglasses, car keys, change, gum, office keys. These all get mixed together in one of the two inside pockets. And with no small pocket outside, it means I have to open the flap and search around for these items.

All in all this is a fantastic messenger style camera bag. Not quite perfect (for me), but this is my favorite camera bag to date. I love the unstructured, messenger style. I like that it looks and functions great whether I'm carrying all my stuff or just some of it. The pinestone color is cool, kind of a "military surplus" looking olive. The comfortable shoulder pad is *moveable* along the strap -- big plus! The build quality is top notch (other than the small removable hand strap). This bag feels built to last.

Anyway, I'll end here. But I like to talk shop. So if you have any questions or would like to see more photos, let me know. You can contact me through my web site or on Flickr. Just search my name; I'm too easy to find lol

thanks,
Cameron

Product Description

The FreeWave Fusion Wireless Shutter/Flash/Grouping Remote Control (Canon) from Vello is a versatile, reliable remote control kit that will trigger off-camera lights from up to 300 feet away and can be used to configure 3 different light groups, triggered individually or simultaneously, for a total of 7 different combinations, using its multiple groups feature. Simultaneous triggering of multiple light groups requires additional FreeWave Fusion Receivers (available separately).

The FreeWave Fusion also provides the convenience of a wireless camera shutter release. Working on the 2.4GHz frequency gives an extended range (up to 320' (100 m))--you don't need to have line-of-sight alignment, either, as radio waves will pass through walls.

Simply depress the trigger button on the transmitter half-way to pull the flash out of "sleep-mode". Sleep mode allows the flash to power down in between shooting sessions to extend battery life. The wake-up function is only available when used as part of a complete Canon TTL system.

Note! Since the FreeWave Fusion does not transmit TTL settings, use of a flash or light unit with full manual control is recommended. You will need to set the power output manually. The FreeWave Fusion is compatible with most cameras, flash units and studio lights. However, for flash wake-up functionality and/or high shutter speeds, you will need full Canon TTL support via your camera, flash and FreeWave Fusion trigger. If your flash does not have a wake-up function, you may be able to turn off sleep mode. Refer to your flash's manual for instructions.

Vello FreeWave Fusion Wireless Flash Trigger & Remote Control for Canon SLR Review

This trigger system is excellent! In comparison to similar products by other brands I've used in the past the FreeWave Fusion out performs ten times over. The quality is also not to be beat. Set up is simple, and the signal reliability is great. I havent been able to test the full extent of the range, but for what I used it for so far, has been great- about 12-15 feet away. The second curtain sync function works flawlessly with flash triggers. Bottom line, I would recommend this flash trigger to anyone. I plan on getting one more trigger for my second camera and 2 more receivers to put on the same frequency. I'll be sticking with Vello for now and I'll keep this review updated with any new cons or pros.

NIKON F5 SLR Body Only Review

I have one of every model Nikon F made from the FTn to the F5. I used to think that the F2 was God's gift to photography. Rock solid and mine is 30 years old and it still works fine. However, as good as it was, I would not want to go out on a magazine assignment with an old F2. The capabilities of modern AutoFocus cameras make my old F2 and even the F3 too limited - especially with regard to invaluable tools like automatic fill flash, auto exposure, simple exposure bracketing and simple and fast film loading. I have an F4 too and in its day, it was a gem. But I shoot a lot of motorsports and the F4 was too slow for fast action. The F5 is everything the F4 was plus it focuses better and faster. The camera is a joy to hold (at least for my two hands) and is possibly the best handling camera I have ever used in my over 30 years of picture taking. As mentioned above, it focuses very well and very fast - especially with the newer "S" lenses with the motors in the lens. The camera takes lithium batteries and they seem to last through many dozens of rolls of film - not as cheap as alkaline but very convenient and much lighter to carry. The high eyepoint finder works great for me and my thick eye glasses. The controls are where Nikon has put them over the years so long-time users should have no trouble working fast with the F5. Mine has seen rugged use here and in Europe and it has never failed me. The only gripe I have is that the removable prism does let in dust but every Nikon I have has the same issue. It's simple to eliminate the dust with a soft brush or some canned air so it's a pretty small gripe. I think the Canon EOS 1V cameras and lenses focus a tad faster (I tend to use them more for my motor racing assignments) but the F5 is such a joy to use and the Nikon glass is so sharp that I look for assignments where I can use this camera. The F5 remains for now in the product line, despite the introduction of the new and more expensive F6. The F6 looks like a winner and handles well too. But its $2400 price tag and the fact that the majority of the market for a high powered pro camera has already turned to digital, makes me wonder who but a serious amateur with deep pockets will pony up the bucks for one. My final warning to you camera junkies out there is that once you handle the F5, you will not want to put it down. And that's not a bad thing.
