The Extras

Man, I am getting pressed on all fronts! Finally sneaked a little time out for an update. Now last time I introduced the Joby Gorilla Pod, or the tripod in general. Today, we are going to go through a few essential accessories you don't wanna go shooting without!

  1. High speed memory cards! Now a lot of customers have been asking us whats with all the memory card classes and speeds. Well, these are all classification on how fast data can be written and read off your cards. Faster = better, but you must make sure your camera supports the faster cards. As a rule, always check the manual on what class of memory your camera supports. Also, bigger memory cards does not = better! Why? cause big memory cards are expensive! Often, it is more economical to buy multiple 4G cards instead of a 16G card. With sizes and price of cards these days, its easier to sort your photo groups with by memory card instead of folders on your harddrive!

  2. Extra battery! Digital camera's eat batteries. Do not be caught with no power. It is an extremely wise choice to carry an extra battery around always! This is common sense!

  3. UV filters! Now this is one of the simplest upgrade you can get for your camera, it costs little, and have benefits that out weights that cost! First off, your photos will be much better quality since the filter is designed to suppress light flares. Second, it protects your original camera's lens! If you ever scratch the first piece of glass, you know its good bye for your camera. However, with a filter protecting your lens, you can replace the filter for as cheap as 20 bucks! Professional photographers know the importance of filters for their DSLR lenses, as some of these could cost more than their camera. The average user too should adopt this as their common practice. Trust me, better image quality + lens protection for under 20 bucks! Its a crime not to buy one!

Hehe, thats today's update. See you next time.
