My Canon Rebel just wasn’t getting outside much especially since caving and paddling seem to be my current affairs. After reading a lot of camera reviews, I decided to sell the Canon and buy the Panasonic Lumix DMC-TS2, 14.1 MP waterproof digital camera. Fujifilm, Pentax, Olympus, Canon, and Panasonic all make waterproof cameras in the [...] Unlike pocket cameras, digital slrs demand a proper carrying case when heading outdoors.

Today, there are a variety of natural and [...] Worried about BPA leaching out of your plastic water bottle? For a long time a metal bottle was your only alternative; that meant aluminum or stainless steel. If you’re the type to worry about BPA, then you are probably leery of aluminum as well (and will bypass all those pretty Sigg bottles), so the stainless [...] |
