On Tamrac 5592 Big Wheels SpeedRoller 2X Bag Review article (41 comments in total)
In reply to:

RSJohnson: Please check the dimensions of this "airport friendly" bag to make sure they include the oversize wheels as often the dimensions are bag only excluding wheels and feet. In a recent trip SFO to LIH my trusty carryon was rejected at check in because although the bag dimensions were within UA spec, when they forced me to try and jam the bag into the sizing cage the wheels prevented it from going in. At 22" L it will be at the max for many airlines so if wheels are on top....

I work for American Airlines and I can tell you the wheels will be a problem because the bag size of 45 linear dimensions is for the bag. Not including the wheels. Of course, it will depend on the ticket agent or the flight attendant who has the last say so.

I don't have but a few images on there that aren't anything special but they are mine and I don't want them sold and I don't think that it is fair to steal another one's images.

On Nikon Coolpix S800c Android camera first look article (103 comments in total)

What a neat idea. I never heard of this before until now. I guess all you need is a phone added to it and then you have it all...lol...Crazy idea but I am actually thinking of purchasing one.

Sounds interesting but I don't think Sprint here in the US would agree to allow us to use phones that are not available through them or I would have purchased a phone I like on the market and not what they sell.

I am not a pro photographer but if I was, I would be pretty upset by this.

I think it is sad that photographers are treated this way. If musicians are trying to force this issue, you would think they would ban all photography and hire their own to take pictures.

I feel for the pros because the way things are changing today, pretty soon into the near future, there won't be any such thing as pro photographers.

That guy is so lucky to be alive and I would have done the same whether the equipment was insured or not. You can't put a price on your life.

I am shocked by this. I live in the US and haven't bought one or plan to but with the increase, that would change my mind if I were thinking of buying.

I actually think they did this because of the extra cost to them for the free card and card reader they were sending out to some owners.

On Just posted: Our Canon Pixma Pro-1 printer review news story (69 comments in total)

At 1300.00, this printer is for professional photographers. It wouldn't be worth it for hobbyists like myself to buy and use this printer. I never checked the costs of the inks but I can only imagine how high they are looking at the price of the printer. I just don't see how beneficial financially this can be to anyone when prints at a printer are so cheap.

The problem with a 41mp camera is there is no cell phone company that is capable of allowing anyone to send such a high mp picture through picture mail. The phone would crash or it would take all night for it to go through. I have a huge problem trying to send an 8mp picture with my phone. If they keep this up, our cell phone bills will go up so high we won't be able to afford them because it takes a lot of bandwidth to send picture mail and the cell companies just don't have enough air space to accomplish this and if they buy more then guess who pays for it in the end? We the consumers do and I don't want to pay a penny more.

Aside from this, what are cell phone companies trying to accomplish in the long run by creating better camera phones??? Do they hope to accomplish beating out the compact cameras someday? I can't see that happening.

I wonder if they will make a version for the Android phones. It looks pretty cool but I refuse to pay Apple that much money for a cell phone.
