although hidalgo is still the place for affordable cameras and camera equipment, digital printing online is a good option still.. in terms of convenience, you can bring your car to their pasong tamo branch and they accept credit cards with no surcharge (as opposed to commuting to hidalgo.. and with loads of cash since there's 7% surcharge for credit card purchases).. they also offer 0% interest.. and now, you can order online!
they also offer a pretty wide range of products.. but as i still haven't made the switch to SLR (it's quite heavy.. i already find my S3IS bulky and heavy :p and i'm sure i won't be able to stop buying lenses! gaah).. i went for their tamrac products:
velocity 6x camera bag
i love this camera bag.. i went through 3 camera bags in a period of less than a year prior to this.. but a year later.. im still using this bag.. and i'm not likely to replace it.. unless i finally go for SLR and get velocity 8x instead.. hehehe..
i like this because true to it's advertising, it really takes just 3 seconds to shoot:
this solved my previous dilemma of using shoulder camera bag.. or putting my small camera bag on a backpack.. shoulder bag is more accessible.. but i really had a difficult time climbing all the steps in the cambodia temples.. using a backpack makes balancing easier.. but it takes so long to get the camera out.. and i sometimes wind up losing the moment..
and as mentioned before.. i'm really a sucker for compartments..
apart from being able to put in my expansion ring, hood, and wide angle lens in the compartment in the main bag, the cover also has a zipper compartment where i can put my tripod quick release and cleaning cloth.. in front there are also pockets and compartments for memory cards, batteries, other camera accessories, and personal effects:
and another good feature.. you can attach more compartments at the sides! hahaha.. so i bought the following:
compact filter case
holds 3 filters up to 72mm.. so i can change among my UV, CPL, and ND8 filters easily.. too bad no room for my IR.. but it's ok since i don't use it as often..
memory & battery management wallet
compartments galore! hahaha.. i can put 2 sets of batteries (8 AA batteries in all) and 3 SD cards.. and my ipod camera connecter.. for easy battery and memory card changing as well.. :p also, you can use the red flaps to indicate which ones are used up already.. so very nice..
these are very nice for photo outings.. i'm going to buy the water bottle carrier next.. hehehe :p
