Adventure 9 Photo/Computer Backpack, 5549 (Gray)

Adventure 9 Photo/Computer Backpack, 5549 (Gray)

The Adventure 9 is a modern backpack designed for the SLR photographer with a pro digital or film SLR (such as Canon’s EOS 1D Series or Nikon’s D2 Series) with a grip and a 5-inch lens attached, several additional lenses, a flash, accessories and a laptop. The completely foam-padded lower compartment protects photographic equipment, while the large top compartment holds a light jacket, lunch or other personal items needed for a photographic outing. Inside the top, a removable Pop-Off Pocket keeps AC adapters and laptop cords organized. A separate and completely foam-padded compartment provides quick access to a laptop (such as Apple’s 17-inch PowerBook G4 and others up to 15 1/2 x 11 x 2 in.) without disturbing photo gear. For the main compartment, double zipper pulls provide quick access to photo gear while a weather flap and quick-release buckles provide security and weather protection. Inside, foam pillars support the camera with lens attached, ready for action, while adjustable foam-padded dividers protect other equipment. Tamrac’s patented Memory and Battery Management System uses red flags to identify available memory cards and batteries from ones that are used up. A Windowpane-Mesh pocket organizes filters, cables and other accessories. Two mesh side pockets provide quick access to accessories and water bottles. The comfortable, foam-padded backpack harness with sternum strap is contoured to spread the weight of the camera gear across the shoulders. The harness also features Tamrac’s Strap Accessory System attachment points for customizing this pack with optional Tamrac S.A.S. products. Two lash tabs on the bottom allow a tripod to be carried (requires accessory straps). Color: Camo/Black Weight: 4 lbs. 3 oz. (1,899 g) Internal Top: 11 x 6 1/2 x 8 3/4 H (28 x 17 x 22 cm) Internal Bottom: 11 1/2 x 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 H (29 x 14 x 22 cm) External: (WxDxH) 13 x 11 x 20 H (33 x 28 x 51 cm)

My Camera is Back!

Oh, frabjous day! My beloved camera is back to health! I couldn't be happier and it's all thanks to Marty's Camera in Forest Hills, Queens... A couple of weeks ago I dropped my camera in Grand Central. The impact screwed up the lens so it wouldn't retract and as a result the camera wouldn't turn on. Oh noes! I know from friends that digital cameras can be very difficult and very costly to repair. Often times it costs less to replace the camera than to fix the broken one. I love my camera. We'

Sunday Randoms & Photography Stuff

• The Big Purge. Today was the day to rid my closet of all the clothes that no longer fit. I’m down from a size 14 to an 8 (ok, maybe a 10 after our Thanksgiving Weekend Day gluttony, but it’ll be 8 again in a week)…A size XL to a Medium, so there was a lot of stuff to be rid of. 7 or 8 years’ worth. I will admit I tried quite a few things on, just for kicks. For posterity, I took a picture of the ‘to go’ pile: I filled three garbage bags to donate, and two to trash. Definitely a good t

The D80’s large, bright 0.94x viewfinder affords a remarkable view not found in many digital SLRs, making critical composition easier and more pleasing. The camera’s rechargeable battery can last up to 2700 shots on a single charge, while also providing a real-time Fuel Gauge of the percentage of charge remaining in the battery at all times.
