I love to travel and meet new people. I also enjoy immersing myself in new cultures in strange lands. Little can fire up my passions as much as exploring can- particularly if I’m armed with the best possible digital cameras. After all- it’s with the camera that I capture superb memories for all eternity!

DLO’s hunkydory StrapWrap is a classy universal neoprene case latches to most bag straps, allowing users to store iPods, cell phones and other cool tools  so that you don’t have to dig into your backpack each time you need something. The StrapWrap provides an extra-wide Velcro fastener which secures devices neatly fastened to a strap, while cushy neoprene shields most of the hidden devices. The lovely StrapWrap sells for $20 and affords  a main pocket and an extra pocket, capable of fitting in any device up to 2.5″ in width.

Panasonic launched a spanking new Lumix digital camera out - the FX500. This Lumix stands heads and shoulders above the older FX35 with the inclusion of a 3″ touch screen, 10.1 megapixel sensor and face recognition capability. There’s more. The Lumix FX500 brags a 5x optical zoom, a 16:9 aspect ratio and a 720p high definition video recording mode. The Panasonic Lumix FX500 will only be made available later this May,and sells for $399.95.

Hmm… at that price, I’d rather go for an SLR at $500!
