Eye-Fi Wireless SD Card

Have you ever run in to this problem: You want to transfer your pictures to your computer but you can't find the USB cord to link up your camera to your computer? Well, the folks at Eye-Fi say they can solve that problem. The Eye-Fi wireless SDHC card goes into your camera just like any other SD/SDHC card would, but the magic happens when you get home turn the camera on and set it anywhere near a wireless network. Within seconds it will detect the Eye-Fi card and start downloading the images that are stored on it directly to your computer.Installing the Eye-Fi software couldn't be easier, just plug the included card reader (with the card installed) into your computer's USB port, and install.

Xtend-a-View 2x Loupe/Shade

Anyone who has ever tried using the LCD screen on their digicam out in the bright sunlight knows what they need - they need a shade!Williams & Associates has come up with the Xtend-a-ViewTM which is a combination LCD shade and a 2x power magnifying loupe eyepiece. The Xtend-a-View sells for $16.95 and attaches with self-adhesive velcro strips so it can be easily removed when not needed. I'm happy to report that my earlier review had pointed out that the Xtend-a-View did not sit flat on the Nikon 950.

You can see in this photo and the very first one at the beginning of this review, the top and bottom buttons around... [read more]

JAR Sun Shield

Anyone who has ever tried using the LCD screen on their digicam out in the bright sunlight knows what they need - they need a shade! Jess Russell makes a very inexpensive LCD Sun Shade called the JAR Sun Shield that was originally made only for the Sony Mavica digital cameras. Well, yours truly talked him into making a smaller sun shield for the Nikon Coolpix 900, 900s and 950 cameras.The best part besides that it works great is that it only costs $10.00 and that includes shipping via the USPS!   If ordering for the Nikon cameras be sure to let Jess know or else you might end up with one made for a Mavica. The JAR Sunshield does not interfere with the swiveling lens portion of the Nikon 950 in any way. Here's the three velcro strips that you put around your LCD screen to attach the JAR Sun Shield -- it's the...
