Little Card, Big Performance
It's just a little card that fits inside your camera or whatever and makes it work! Right?? It's so much more than that. Photography matters to me...and if I'm shooting on a job, it certainly matters to my clients. Because I can't afford to be let down by an SD card which fails, I need a reliable and stable card which isn't effected by weather (heat/cold/humidity) or normal exposure to being left in parked vehicles etc etc. These cards are fantastically stable and reliable. I have been shooting with these cards for four years now and have never experienced a failure. When shooting, I frequently use continuous shooting (burst) mode and need a card which my cameras can write to almost instantaneously. These SD cards rarely keep me waiting whereas other slower cards can leave you waiting before you can continue shooting while the card is being written to and catches up. This shooting lag is not only annoying but interrupts smooth shooting and potentially prevents me from getting "the" shot. This card does not do that. It is well matched to my full-frame DSLRs. Similarly, long exposure photography means a lot writing to do from camera to card. Slower cameras can leave me waiting for the card to finish writing for considerable periods before I can take the next shot. But this card is fast enough to prevent this annoying lag and keeps my photography fluent and smooth. Lastly, when your have a couple of thousand images to process following a largish event shoot, you want a card that communicates quickly and accurately with your computer and doesn't slow the tedious process down. This card is quick enough to satisfy me in each of the areas I have touched on. Those of you who aren't really into photography may think that I'm over-emphasising these features, but the enthusiasts out there who really use the advanced features of their DSLRs will know what I'm talking about. These cards represent stability, reliability, endurance and fantastic value for money. They are my card of choice and are my workhorse. I have 6 of them now and will be buying more in the future. Do yourself a favour and get one or two. You won't be sorry!!

Compact but Functional. Not perfect but extraordinary value.
This camera bag is typical of the high quality that Lowepro have become well known for. It is compact but has sufficient room for the avid enthusiast. Shock protection via padding and construction is reliable enough to trust your expensive gear to. Carry straps are comfortable and sturdy. The straps are for each shoulder and for the waist. They have generous adjustment available for most sizes of photographer. The shoulder straps also have a small but important joining strap which crosses the chest and keeps the shoulder straps in perfect position (if it is used). This sort of attention shows that people who will use the bag have helped in the design of the bag. I have carried a substantial camera kit on my back for many hours over time. An uncomfortable bag which carries and sits awkwardly on your back is horrible and painful. The Lowepro bags, including this one are perfect for their purpose. I would like to see a few more small zippered compartments added to the bag. While it is adequate as is, to get the "Excellent" rating, a few extra surprise compartments would be better. The Flipside means that the main camera compartment is behind the panel which lies against your back. In order to access this, you must take the backpack off and unzip it. There are advantages to this....such as ensuring nobody can open and remove anything from the main compartment while you have it on. In some areas this may provide security for your gear. Tripod carrying is not overly well thought out....it can be done with some tripods and a little thought. The all-weather cover is an absolutely essential component of this bag. I have been caught out in the open with storm and teaming rain. The built-in all-weather cover has saved my gear....it works. The bag is not perfect, but what gear is. This is a fine product which I bought for a very reasonable price. It represents remarkable value for money and worthy of housing my camera gear and the effort of trekking with it on my back.

Does the job, but.....
4 of 4 found this helpful OK....this little machine gets quite a workout at our house. It does the job adequately but.....!
First of all, the self-tapping screws supplied with this crusher are inadequate for the pulling action that the machine requires to crush a can. I ever-so-slightly increased the screw hole diameter in the wall plate of the machine and used much longer and robust screws to affix it to my verandah post. If you don't do this, I would be surprised if the crusher stayed on the wall/post for very many cycles of crushing cans. Remember, that's why you bought it, right? So it's a small but important thing. The backing plate, crushing plate and the base plate on which the can sits are all of adequate gauge folded sheet metal. However the lever mechanism seems a little flimsy in materials and my bet is this will be the first thing to break. However, that said, it has not done so yet and I may be premature in my prophecy! We'll see. While on the subject of the lever mechanism, I believe that the effort required to actually crush an aluminium drink can is greater than it should be. An adult male should have no real problem with it, a female will gradually get the knack of how to achieve a clean crush, but I doubt that some children would find it satisfying or easily achievable. Again, the design of the lever mechanism should provide a little more mechanical advantage for the user and it would be a far better machine. As it is, a smaller person might have to consider a two handed approach. the padding on the handle of the lever mechanism is a bit too soft and feels only just adequate for the task. So.....what do I really think?? For the lowish purchase price (Circa AU$15) I'm not going to complain. It does the job but not quite as well as it could do....and it wouldn't take much to fix those areas of criticism that I have described above. Am I glad I bought it???? Yes. Would I buy it again?? Yes, but I would make sure to have some beefier screws at hand to affix it to a very solid surface because of the less than perfect mechanical advantage that the lever mechanism affords the user.....you have to pull a bit harder than you might think.
