“The Hand Strap is quick and easy to use, providing additional comfort and security when holding your DLSR,” said Brook Parker of Cotton Carrier. “The heavy-duty Velcro strap allows you to instantly tighten or loosen your hand against your camera’s body, making holding heavy cameras and lenses a pleasure to use.”

Instead of trying to be just another me-too camera, the K-30 from Pentax Imaging is trying to be different, and that’s a good thing. First, there was the introduction of the K-01 mirrorless camera and now there’s the K-30 SLR, for when the going gets wet and not-so-wild. The rugged Pentax K-30 is designed for photographers who enjoy outdoor lifestyles and combines a weather- and dust-resistant compact body, HD video recording capabilities, and a glass prism optical finder with a 100 percent field of view, something most welcome in the small SLR category. To keep itself high and dry, the camera has 81 seals and is built to be cold resistant and function in temperatures as low as 14˚F, which is a number not all that uncommon here on Daisy Hill, Colorado, in the winter.

The deep-dive SeaLife ReefMaster is a self-contained 9-megapixel digital dive camera that's waterproof down to 200 ft. and features advanced underwater color correction. The ReefMaster provides an intuitive Easy Set-Up interface that you can access via the camera's 2.4-inch color LCD screen. Just navigate the graphic on-screen guide to select the mode that suits your environment-from Land to Snorkel to Dive-and the ReefMaster does the rest for you. It also includes a quick-detachable wide-angle lens that increases the view angle by 33 percent and allows close ups within 12 inches of the subject.

Photogenic Professional Lighting introduced the new ION portable power supply.
