The R-Strap by Black Rapid is not your traditional camera strap, the first thing that attract me is when the camera not in use it is upside down & the lens is not protruding out, not like when you hang it on your shoulder on a traditional strap & constantly adjusting your strap & raise you shoulder a little bit just to make sure you don’t drop your camera. R-Strap also good news for your neck & no more camera swing in front of your chest.

Introducing the new Nikon D3000, firstly I was confuse with both the introduction of D300s & D3000 I thought it was just a typo with an extra '0' at the end instead of an 's' :p. The new Nikon D3000 sit in between D5000(click here for D5000 Spec.) & D60,with the local market price D5000 costing $1++ more than the D3000 with the same kit, well the choice is yours. If you want for a D-movie mode in your DSLR D5000 is for you with it vari-angle type LCD monitor(2.7 inch). D60, D3000 & D5000 are great starter DSLR, but if you are serious in photography willing to spent the time & a bigger hole in your pocket get yourself a D90, just my point of view.
