Contrary to popular belief, the list of companies that make great cameras isn't three names long, and it doesn't end with the letter N. After basically conquering the TV market, Samsung decided to switch their focus to the high end camera market. The NX200 is the newest mirrorless point and shoot on the market, but ... continue reading
Contrary to popular belief, Logitech and Microsoft aren't the only companies that make computer mice. Their Sidewinder MX90000 Performance Pro Premium models are great, but they're also a little common place for our taste. This Elecom Orime Laser Mouse is as much a departure from those mice as Christian Bale is from ... continue reading
It might be a rare occasion, but if you have ever dropped your pocket knife in a pond while out camping, you know the annoyance involved in retrieving that sucker. The Cork Knife eliminates any fear of cutting rope on the side of a lake or whittling wood over a creek while you're on your next trip. The cork handle ... continue reading
We love our DSLR to the point that any normal person would probably consider it unhealthy, but even we don't take it everywhere. Even if you can cope with the size constraints (you have to have all your lenses with you all the time), you're always worrying about whether or not it will get broken and eventually coping ... continue reading
Scuba diving is our absolute favorite leisurely/not-so-leisurely (depending on sharks) activity. The problem is, explaining the awesomeness to someone who has never done it before is like trying to tell someone how amazing Cherry Garcia is who's never tasted it. The best way we can think of showing our non-Scuba ... continue reading
Ever since you could share a picture of yourself on the interweb girls have teased us by holding cameras at just the right angle to supply the optimum amount of cleavage to face ratio. Snapping pictures of yourself is an art the fairer sex mastered long ago. We're not gonna get on our high horse and act all mighty ... continue reading
There is soon going to be a day where we do literally everything with our iPads. Chopping up onions for dinner: iPad. Steering your car: iPad. Voting: iPad. While we aren't there yet, we are starting to get dangerously close with all the products flooding the market that take your little Apple baby and go all Transformers ... continue reading
Creating high quality video without what we like to call the "Blair Witch Effect" is damn near impossible unless you have crazy expensive equipment. We love the fact that the DSLR can record HD video, but we spent enough money on the rig already that we don't want to spend another couple thousand on a steadycam setup ... continue reading
Carrying around a DSLR has been the biggest sticking point to why some of us have never purchased one. Heck, a lot of guys we know won't even buy a point-and-shoot because they've got a less bulky version called an iPhone. But, when Pentax announced the release of the Q-black all those excuses for not owning a real ... continue reading
Social networking is fantastic, but it has one critical downfall. It's not privacy. It's not the smorgasbord of choices and the regurgitated content. It's not even the video of the half in the bag karaoke performance of "Don't Stop Believin'" that you and ten of your closest college buddies made the mistake of recording. ... continue reading
If you strapped all the add-on gear for your iPhone out there onto it, it would quickly look like Optimus Prime. One minute it's a cellphone, the next it barely fits in your backpack. One slim little add-on we would highly recommend that doesn't require you doing hundreds of curls and chin-ups to actually lift your ... continue reading
Inspiration can hit you at any time whether you're with or without your camera. Unless you're a tourist who fills up an SD card with shots of you and the Eiffel Tower—all slightly askew, poorly lit and some missing half your face—you'll need to be ready when that inspiration comes. By loading your gear into the ... continue reading
If we are going to make our iPhones our most used camera it's time we got serious about it. We don't like doing anything half-assed—if we built a table and it wobbled we'd fix it—so let's stop pretending our iPhone shots are "good enough." With the iPhone SLR Mount you can finally take the kind of pictures you've ... continue reading
Too often we capture some self-described "amazing" footage and need to show it off at once. Whatever poor fools are around us are required to gather around the tiny screen of our camcorder and fabricate some sort of amusement while they squint their eyes as tight as possible. With the Sony HDR-PJ50 you can at least ... continue reading
These cases look like they're straight out of an action movie where some villain unscrews the top to reveal a glowing green piece of some highly radioactive element the likes of which "the world has never seen" and the mere dropping of which would result in the utter destruction of the planet earth. We figure if ... continue reading
When you go to a party you can either a) Party (obviously) or b) Spend the evening snapping pictures and capturing video. As much as we love all our camera toys we also happen to love having a few beers and drawing on our passed-out buddy's face. Thanks to Dot we can enjoy the rum-punch, engaged in shenanigans ... continue reading
