I know someone that travels internationally a lot who uses one of those fancy DSLR cameras. For them, you need a lot of memory space on your camera, 1 GB just won’t cut it. But there’s a limit on how big your card can be, and if you’re going to take hundreds of pictures a day, you’ll run out of room mighty fast. Unless you’ve got quick access to a computer, you’re stuck with a full card unless you delete some pictures.

For most people, that situation will never happen, but for the few who it does happen to, the PrimeFoto will solve all of your problems, camera related at least. It does one thing and does it well: it will transfer the photos on your memory card to a CD without a computer.

Logitech products have been written about here before, but never one of their web cams.

The QuickCam Pro is a webcam deigned specifically for laptops, meaning it’s small and can latch on to the top of your laptop. To put it in perspective, the QuickCam Pro is the size of an average house key. For carrying your QuickCam Pro around, just use the included carrying case.

This is a really cool idea for a gadget if you like to display your photos and need some unobtrusive light to complete the mood of a room. Slide Lights allows you to fill a column of light with pictures which glow from the light behind them giving you some extra light as well as an interesting way to display your photos.

They’re very easy to use, as you simply slide the pictures into the slots. Your pictures must be taken with standard slide film which allows your pictures to be seen with the light. Also available are “slide sets” which include groups of colorful photographs ready to be put into your slide light.

Available are 3 different sizes of lights beginning at 2′ which can hold 13 slides, 4′ which can hold 25 slides and 6′ which can hold 36 slides. You can also put the slide lights horizontally if you want to lay the light on a table, shelf or just along the wall.

Slide lights range in price from £99.95 to £149.95 depending on which size you need and are available from Gadget Storm. Also available from Gadget Storm are Slide Sets.

Here’s a really strange camera, I wonder if it’s actually practical. The Wrist-Mounted Camera is a fully functional digital camera that fits just like a watch. The strangest thing about it in my opinion is that it looks just like a regular digital camera except smaller. I would have thought they would condense it somehow.

The camera is capable of taking 648×480 digital stills and features 32MB of internal memory. It also has video capabilities allowing you to record 320×240 video!

I don’t know why no one’s thought of this before. It’s a mobile phone case mod, which replaces the standard camera lens with a 6x zoom lens. To install the zoom lens, simply remove the standard shell and, replace it with the new one fitted with the built-in lens.

I’ve just received a press release about the Epic Tripod Butler which looks like a really useful product for photography addicts. If they send me a sample I’ll be sure to write a review but for now here is the press release: Read the rest of this entry »

A couple of weeks ago I had to set up my own tabletop photo area for taking photos for our wicked laser review. Knowing very little about photography and lighting I bodged it some what (as the pictures probably show). I wished I’d known of this gadget before then, the Tabletop Photo Studio.

I was a bit slow reporting on this as a ton of other sites (whom I’ll mention later) beat me to it but this is too cool not to write about.

I enjoy making things, in my (soon to be ex) day job I make financial software (yawn) whilst after hours I create websites (like this) and make all sorts of crazy stuff with my daughter. Anyway onto this post, I’ve just come across a free download of full color plans to make your own pin hole camera.
