Sonos is Phenomenal!
on February 27, 2012

The Sonos music system is currently my all-time favorite electronics buy. (My last all-time favorite was the Tivo recorder when it first came out!)
Sonos allows different music streaming in different rooms of your home -- seamlessly with beautiful controls by iPhone, iPad, computer or Sonos' optional own hardware controller. Any radio station on earth with an internet stream (yes, from Greece, Iran, Ireland, you name it!) free. If you have Pandora or Rhapsody or Slacker or any internet service (all of em: Mog, Spotify, LastFM, etc., etc.), then you have it in different rooms as you wish. If you have iTunes, you have access as well.
Unlike its competitors, it is elegant and extremely simple to hook up and roll with. Updates with more features continue and also seamlessly and without additional charge.
I bought this bridge to use with a portable S5 in my office, after having many rooms at my home hooked up.
I don't know ANYONE who has purchased a Sonos that isn't in love with what it brings to the party, or the home or the office! And, I have NO relationship with this company at all. It earns your praise over and over!
What's great about it: Simple, elegant, multi-room access to all the music on earth!
What's not so great: It's not inexpensive, but you get more than you pay for here.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Lowepro's Passport Sling is designed for today's photo enthusiasts who want to carry an equal amount of camera and personal gear as they sightsee, travel or go out for a walk with their DSLRs . It's unique and comfortable shape is unlike a traditional sling bag-it truly conforms to the body and easily moves with the wearer. Place it across the chest, high and close or low and loose, depending on the activity. The shoulder strap features a cam lock buckle that easily adjusts for an ideal fit, plus a removable, sliding shoulder pad that offers cushioned comfort when needed. On the exterior, two slash pockets and a water bottle pocket provide quick access to maps, guide books, boarding passes. Inside, the sling is equipped to protect your DSLR and a few accessories as well as offer plenty of space for personal items. Unzip the front of the Passport Sling to reveal an expansion compartment that adds approximately 30% more space-enough to accommodate items like a light jacket, lunch, cool souvenir or farmers' market find. A fully padded camera box (with built-in memory card pocket) protects a DSLR. Remove it and collapse the box when you want to pack the sling in a larger bag for travel.

Great Lens Changing Tool!

I wandered onto this Lowe product by chance, since I normally don't find photo equipment of interest to me at Best Buy. As it turns out, I love this "bag" with two minor reservations. The bag slings over your shoulder (recommend across your chest!) and has essentially 3 large pockets in its interior. There is the ordinary great Lowe cushioning in a removable interior package - this protects sides of equipment. (There is, however, no padding underneath this storage area so care must be taken when you set the bag down.)
One of the interior pocket areas expands hugely when the exterior zipper is released - a key to its usefulness to me as a photo enthusiast. Why? This area will comfortably hold a full 70-200mm telephoto beast lens! The other two pockets can hold 2 other lenses. In the field, I carry my camera (with one lens on) via a Rapid Strap and toss this bag across my other shoulder as well. I can pretty easily swap out a couple other lenses in the field with this bag acting as the holding "tank". It's MUCH more roomy and easier to use than a Lowe lens swap module, for example, because its zipper-compressible large pocket easily holds the 70-200mm. When you leave the field to your car, etc., you can zip that pocket tight; it compresses nicely to caress the large lens.
The bag also holds in nice Lowe-style protected fashion a couple of SD cards (great). The only other design limitation is the bag has exterior pocket pouch areas but these have no velcro or zippers and if you place a lens cap or filter in these (perfect size for this), they can easily fall out. (So, these aren't very useful at all; maybe a packet of gum or nonessential map, etc.)
With these 2 complaints, what might have been designed for carrying sling fashion, a normal DSLR with a few accessories works brilliantly as an in-the-field lens changing bag for a photo enthusiast. Found nothing better and at its pricepoint, voila!
What's great about it: compressible pocket holds beast lens; all easily accessed for lens swapping
What's not so great: outside pockets don't zip or velcro close; bottom unprotected with padding
I would recommend this to a friend!
