I've just started to use an Airport Security™ V 2.0 Rolling Camera Bag from ThinkTank Photo, and decided to do a "What's in my Camera Bag?" style review, at the same time as talking about the bag itself. This will be a "What's in the Bag?" for Martin Bailey the...
This week I've had the absolute pleasure of being able to test and review a Drobo, which as most of you already know is an external storage device that takes multiple hard drives, even of different size and creates one or more large volumes or drives with redundancy...

My new Canon imagePROGRAF iPF6350 large format printer was delivered on August 13, 2010. The first thing to note with this printer is it's big! Not huge as far as really large format printers, like the 44" or 60" models, but still, with the ability to print 24" or...

Last week, I released a review of the new Canon EF 70-200mm F2.8L IS II USM lens, and was asked how the version II of Canon's workhorse lens fairs with Canon's Extenders (teleconverters)? I'm pleased the reader/listener asked quickly, as I sold this lens on Saturday,...
Just back from my Snow Monkey and Hokkaido Photography Tour and Workshops, today I'm going to give you some initial impressions of the new Canon EOS 1D Mark IV camera, which I picked up a few days before leaving for the Snow Monkeys workshop. This isn't going to be a...
I'm not sure if Canon is using this marketing worldwide, but in Japan, they are calling the 7D the Image Monster! On the same day as the 7D release, Canon also released their new EF 100mm F2.8 L MACRO IS USM and having tested it both in the field and under more...
I recently gave the Delkin Express Card 34 Compact Flash Adapter a try for Outdoor Photo Gear, as a proud member of their Gear Advisory Board. Here are my findings. I chose to try this Compact Flash Adapter from Delkin because I like the idea of having a slimline...
