Pedco UltraPod Lightweight Camera Tripod




This review is from: Pedco UltraPod Lightweight Camera TripodI bought this to use with my Flip Video cam, It works great. I didn't think I would ever use the hook and loop strap it looked kind of hokie. Boy was I wrong. That little strap is Awesome. I can strap the cam to the handlebares of my bike and go riding. Or strap it to lamppost for rock steady videos. I strapped to my ceieling fan for a head spinning video....

This review is from: Pedco UltraPod Lightweight Camera TripodI've had one of these for over five years now, and it works great: I find it indispensable. Small enough to tuck into a pocket or bag, the velcro allows it to be attached to almost any vertical or horizontal bar or pole, while the ball-bearing head allows the camera to be positioned as you need. Great for putting yourself in the picture, time lapse, or night photography....

This review is from: Pedco UltraPod Lightweight Camera TripodIt has always been there when I needed a small camera support for travel or outdoor....still made in the USA....unbelievable....

This review is from: Coby 3.5-Inch Digital Photo Frame with Alarm Clock DP356BLU (Blue)As the title says, it's a great alarm clock but it's really not meant for displaying your photos because the screen is too small. This is an Alarm Clock with benefits. It wakes you up in the morning and you can glance over in the evening to see one of your photos and you'll say, "I remember when I took that." Pros: 3 alarm tonesDisplays your photosLots of settings8 minute snoozeEasy to useAutomatically turns on/offCons:To small for displaying your photos to others. (who cares, it's in your bedroom) Goes into Slideshow when I turn it on. I would rather it be Calendar mode. Other notes:Music mode is decent. Snooze stops working after the second time you press it. May be a good thing or a bad thing.It forces you to get up or you could fall asleep after second snooze and be late for work....

This review is from: Coby 3.5-Inch Digital Photo Frame with Alarm Clock DP356BLU (Blue)I bought this compact Coby picture frame to take advantage of the many digital pics that we take on vacation and at family gatherings. All too often they sit on the PC not doing much of anything. This would give me a nice alternative to the traditional picture frame. Its strength is also its shortcoming. The small footprint on this mini picture frame allows you to place it almost anywhere. But its certainly not the showplace that many larger digital photo frames might be.To maximize your enjoyment of this little wonder, you'll want to have an SD card on hand. It doesn't need to be huge. In fact, if you've been looking to upgrade the card in the family DSLR, this might be your chance. A simple 1 gig card should me more than abundant for a decent stream of photos.There are a few other onboard features in this compact picture frame. The calendar mode is effective as a calendar, period. If you squint really hard you'll see there is a thumbnail slideshow, with images smaller than a traditional postage stamp. Not really sure why the folks at Coby even bothered. There is also a passable music player that will allow you to provide an mp3 soundtrack to your slideshow. Its not going to replace your trusty iPod, or even your favorite FM radio. That said, I was able to listen to a ripped CD without any real gripes. Again, a nice compliment to the office workspace, as it will provide you your own personal soundtrack without annoying fellow co-workers.Gripes are minor. In addition to the peculiar micro slideshow in calendar mode the slot for memory leaves the SD card hanging out and exposed. The base certainly seems deep enough that they could have enveloped the whole card or at least slid it further into the frame housing. A curious choice in my estimation.I feel this little frame delivered some nice bang for the buck. It capably displays my personal photos and offers some additional features, all at a very reasonable price. Glad I discovered it....

This review is from: Coby 3.5-Inch Digital Photo Frame with Alarm Clock DP356BLU (Blue)Pros: It does what it says. The display is nice and crisp.Cons: Choosing different options in different modes in awkward. When it starts it always goes to the menu rather than clock or photo view. You can't pause the photo slide show and keep listening to music....

This review is from: Merkury Innovations MI-DF0151 1.5-Inch Digital Keychain (Black)Like David - I also bought this in part for the wireless features and the capability to have it upload from Flickr and Picasa. I'm not experiencing any of the same problems. It worked as advertised on the first try out of the box and is still 2 months later. The caveat on Flickr is that for some reason it can't see more than 20 photos within a file folder group (even though you might have dozens loaded). No big deal because Picasa works fine (which I like better anyway). I've also got it to work to upload pictures (via the wireless) stored on my desktop computer hard-drive. It's a little funky to set-up and the documentation isn't clear nor comprehensive (sucks actually), but it wasn't hard to intuitively set this up. It's my guess David just got a bad unit. From my experience this is a very good value and the product works well. There are some minor bugs and unlike David, I haven't had to contact support - but overall we love this frame. We have it on our wall in the kitchen and now the gazillions of digital photos are viewed and in constant rotation on this crisp large 15 inch display. I didn't see anything out there close to this for the same money. I caught it when it was $220. Heck I think this well worth it even if you don't use the wireless (just memory cards). I recommend it...

This review is from: Merkury Innovations MI-DF0151 1.5-Inch Digital Keychain (Black)I bought this product for its single differentiating feature over other picture frames: its ability to download photos from Flickr or Picasa via a wireless network connection.There's only one problem... it can't actually download photos from the internet.I had already created photo albums at Flickr and Picasa - nothing complicated like password protection, but just public albums. This was a completely simple setup - a single photo album containing about 30 photos, all correctly resized to match the resolution and aspect ration of the frame. But even in this simple scenario, the frame doesn't work AT ALL with EITHER service.The first step - networking - was achievable, but painful for two reasons:1) For a completely inexplicable reason, the wireless network adapter isn't internal. It's an external stick-shaped adapter that you pop into the sole USB port. Regrettably, that sole USB port is at the top of the frame. This ruins the appearance of the device: the classic-looking frame now sports a very awkward stick jutting out of the top. It's incredibly stupid-looking.2) The frame has built-in support for WEP and WPA, along with auto-discovery. However, the configuration options are minimal: once you plug in the information, it tries to connect, and then either magically succeeds or comes back with an unhelpful "connection failed" message. I had to try entering my network information at least two dozen times (via a PAINFULLY SLOW keyboard activated through a left/up/right/down remote!) before I had a connection. (And since I didn't do anything different between the successful attempt and the previous failures, I strongly suspect that this frame would occasionally - perhaps often - require its user to jump through these hoops, over and over again.)In the end, I was able to connect to my wireless network. Unfortunately, further progress was impossible.* It simply can't even find the Picasa server. The frame just stalled at every attempt to locate it.* It found the Flickr server fine, and it allowed me to input a username. The main menu of the frame then displayed a grid and tried to download the list of photo albums from the Flickr account... without success. It just stalled while trying to retrieve the folder list. I tried at least a dozen times - tried rebooting the machine, reconnecting to the network, re-entering the Flickr photo group name - same result every time.Finally, in desperation, I visited Merkury's website to see if they have updated firmware available. I discovered that it's an incredibly sparse website: their customer service page - for ALL PRODUCTS - is a single "contact us" form. No drivers, no downloads, no manuals, nothing. So the chances of getting useful feedback are essentially zero.So I wasted about three hours of my life trying to get this product to do the very simple things it's advertised to do, without success. Now I have to haul it to UPS and await my refund from Amazon. I'm writing this review to save you the same frustration and waste of time...Bottom line: DON'T BUY THIS PRODUCT - it is defective right out of the box....

This review is from: Merkury Innovations MI-DF0151 1.5-Inch Digital Keychain (Black)good photo quality. Slightly pixilated. easy to use. I had a little trouble at first, but that was more me trying to make it harder than it was. Holds lots of pictures. Easy to use your own scanner to scan in pictures to put on. Easy editing. A friend said it had better picture quality than a more expensive item that she had bought....

Nikon 24-85mm f/2.8-4.0D IF AF Zoom Nikkor Lens for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras


Wide to telephoto 3.5x zoom lens ideal for landscape, full-length portraits, travel and portrait photographs

Fast f2.8 maximum aperture at 24mm focal length

Provides maximum 1:2 reproduction ratio from 35 to 85mm

Hybrid and molded-glass aspherical lens elements for higher optical performance

Nine-blade rounded diaphragm achieves a natural blur for out-of-focus elements



This review is from: Nikon 24-85mm f/2.8-4.0D IF AF Zoom Nikkor Lens for Nikon Digital SLR CamerasI bought this lens new about six months ago to use on my D3, and have used it now for four weddings.It is not quite as sharp as my 24-70mm f/2.8, when wide open, but when stopped down one stop, it is tach sharp. It is also much lighter which helps a lot at a long event, and it has more reach, making it great for parties and receptions.It autofocuses very quickly with the screw drive in the camera, and I never miss any action shots due to focus lag. It won't focus on some of the low-end Nikon DSLRs because they lack the drive screw.I don't recommend this lens for DX cameras, because 24mm is not usually wide enough on DX for many reception and party shots. In my opinion, the 16-85mm VR DX or even the 18-70 DX lens would be a better choice for a DX camera.The 24-85mm is also a very nice light weight travel lens for an FX camera....

This review is from: Nikon 24-85mm f/2.8-4.0D IF AF Zoom Nikkor Lens for Nikon Digital SLR CamerasThis is a very good lens for mid-range zooms. Those of us who kept the lens around from our SLR days can happily use it on digital equipment. It's meant for full-frame cameras, but it works on DX as well (though I am not sure 36 - 128 is a useful lens on DX). On my D700 for instance, it is a true 24 wide to 85 zoom.The lens is fast and sharp. It renders colors well. I do find some lens flare apparent without a standard UV filter -- buy one. A tiffen UV filter, for example, will set you back 20 dollars, and is worth it. Note that the lens hood on this lens is pretty much useless. It doesn't stay latched, and is more bother than it is worth. I have long ago stopped using lens hoods on my lenses -- using your hand for shading the three times out of 1000 that you might need a hood does the trick just as well.The fast 2.8 aperture speed allows for creative shots, and it's generally usable along it's entire 2.8 -4 low-end aperture range. For Full-frame cameras, this is a dream lens. It is sharper and faster than the 24-120 VR kit lens, and it doesn't need the VR at these speeds. It is also light, and makes for a great travel lens. I do a lot of event shooting, and it's great to use this small lens -- while the 24-70 2.8 is the current top of the line standard zoom for Nikon, it also costs three times as much, does not have a Micro function (NIkon's name for macro) and weighs three times as much. The 24-85 is much better for extended walk-around shooting, be it landscapes, everyday shots, or events.You will not be disappointed with this lens -- though you might still crave that 24-70 2.8 in the longrun....

This review is from: Nikon 24-85mm f/2.8-4.0D IF AF Zoom Nikkor Lens for Nikon Digital SLR CamerasI use Nikon since ~30 years. Last one a F801 (film, autofocus) for over 20 years. I used digital Sony W7 and Canon Elph etc. in parallel to the film camera F801. I ordered the D80 with a Tamron 28-75 /f2.8 on Feb 2008. First evening I shot about 200 images. Bottom line, the very old&cheap Nikon 35-70 mm f3.3-5.6 was in sharpness and contrast better then the Tamron (my taste). I returned the Tamron. I wanted a lense about that focus length. I read Ken Rockwell review and bought this one in May, made over 1500 images. The sharpness, the contrast, the versility, the handling (no "turning front part"), the weight on the D80 body is perfect to me. It is exact what I was looking for and did not find with the Tamron. I am fully satisfied with this lense....
