Camera Bag

[barrie]

Can anyone tell me how much Disney charges for a 5x7 photopass print? And an 8x10?

Also, they will give you all the photos (up to 300) on a cd for $99. Does anyone know the resolution of the photos they put on the cd?

Thanks - Barrie

3008x2000 @ 300 DPI. Each file is about 1-1.5MB

According to the website 5x7 are 12.95 and 8x10 $16.95

Thanks - wow, the prints are spendy!

Next question - how do they fit 300 photos on one cd if they are 300dpi?

Doesn't each CD hold 650-700MB of info. The Max file size was a little over 1.5MB so I think it could easily hold 300 images.

I only looked at the properties really fast and didn't open it in photoshop. I'll see what my "info" defines resolution as.

All valid photopass photos are included... are the important words here. So you don't really need to worry how they all fit on one CD, because if they don't fit then you get another one with the rest of your photos.

Oh I forgot to include that the photopass can hold up to 4000 photos! So that means get as many as you can! hehe

Oh, right, I guess I lost my brain for a minute there. Thanks for the info everyone. Barrie

That is actually in the works. They just included test track a couple of weeks ago. Eventually they will all be included.

 

[grover]

good to hear..crossing fingers they may have something for our trip in nov then!

Is there anyway to pull a picture off the photopass website
and insert it into my signature or anywhere else?

Thanks

I ordered an Icon camera bag last week for my dSLR from Overstock for $7.50. It's always hard to tell from pictures but as cheap as it was I figured I wasn't out much money if it didn't work out and the list price was $29.99 (for whatever that's worth). Well, I received it today and this is a GREAT bag!! It looks very durable. It has a purse look to it so I don't think it's much of guys bag but I suppose you guys "might" be able to get away with it. They have it marked down to $8.52 but I ordered through a sunshine rewards link and got an extra 12% off plus it was $1 shipping day when I ordered. Today they have shipping for $2.95. Anyway, I think I'm going to be really happy with this bag for my upcoming trip to WDW, I think I'm going to like it better than my $40 Tamrac bag!! It's kind of tall, 12" to be exact and the zippered opening on the top is 9", it doesn't open really wide so it's a little snug when trying to put in my dSLR (with 50-200 lens attached) but for the price I can't complain. It has a padded seperator so I can put my mini-dv camcorder on the other side. Again, a tad snug but it works. There are also two side pockets that are open, but farely deep and I can slip my 18-55 kit lens in one of them and it appears to be pretty secure. There's also a front accessory pocket and a rear pocket that I can slip my K100 manual into, it has a bungee system on the front, not really sure what one would do with that. Here's the link, the picture almost makes it appear to be dark green and grey but mine is black and grey, much nicer IMO (I was looking at this in a partially lit room last night, this morning I realized it IS green, like a slate green, and black. It still looks much nicer in real life than the picture on the website).

I bought my Fuji S7000 a couple years ago and am still looking for a camera bag I don't mind toting around WDW. I have a full camera backpack which I love, but it's a hassle at the parks everyday. I hate having to take it off to sit down, to get something out of it, etc.

I've bought a few other bags since and tried them out on different WDW trips. Nada, hated them.

So now I'm looking again for the trip next month. I'm contemplating this one:

It's a sling bag so I could wear it in front or back and wouldn't have to take it off.

What does everyone else have? Pros, cons?

Thanks for any input.

its nice, but I personally dont like the ones that are on your back. do you know any that are like fanny packs? i stuffed mine into my fanny pack last time but it was a pain in the you know what when i tried to get it out.

My problem with the slings when I was looking for a bag, is I didn't like the way it pulled on my back. I suffer from a misspent youth, and after walking all day, the last thing I need is a twisting pressure on my back.

I know others that love them though, so my advice is go somewhere that actually carries them, put your gear in it and see what you think. Second best would be to order it, but make sure you can return it if it doesn't work out for you.

I suffer from a misspent youth...

That's funny, I'm currently suffering from a misspent adulthood.

Actually, my new Amvona AB-3284 arrived this morning. It's a "holster" bag for wearing on your belt, though it also has a handle on top and a removable shoulder strap. I had decided to try this for the next trip, to keep the camera nearby and take the strain off the neck/shoulders.

It's designed for a smallish DSLR but would probably fit "SLR-like" PnS cameras well.

The bag is small enough that I should be OK just leaving it on most all the time - hopefully! It will be a pain to take on and off during rides if need be. It's just big enough to hold my Pentax DSLR with most "normal" lenses attached. There's a small zippered compartment in the cover for memory cards, filters, etc. My big Op-Tech strap fits but you have to latch the buckle to keep the cover closed - I may just use the strap's quick-release buckles to remove the big part of it and toss it in a pocket or whatever.

They have a larger bag, too, but after viewing the comparable Tamrac in person, I decided that it was just too big and would be "in the way" too much on the belt.

The only trick is the best way to carry the lenses... I'm not 100% sure what my solution will be as I'll have four lenses, but probably only two will be in regular use. I did buy a belt-mounted lens holder so I'll probably use that when walking around and keep the others in padded bags in a regular backpack along with the tripod, etc. Not ideal, but unfortunately there is no perfect setup. I will probably bring along my traditional, old, boxy Tamrac bag, in case I decide that the holster thing just isn't cutting it - or if I decide to carry the 35mm AND the DSLR at the same time.

Ultimately, from my initial impression this morning, it looks pretty good - and you can't beat the price. Off eBay, it was a paltry 25 cents plus $8 shipping. Amvona has a ton of bags, it's worth checking them out if you want to save a few bucks over the Tamrac, etc. bags. The big-name ones probably have slightly better quality but the Amvona seems well put-together and I don't see quality being an issue. I don't see that they have much in the way of sling bags, though.

I'm going to give everything a "dry run" during a trip next week to Saratoga Springs... in New York, not Florida. Hopefully I'll have some good results.

edit: Looking at that bag on Tamrac's own site - it seems like a bit of overkill for a PnS, since you don't have to lug around extra lenses and all...? Are you sure you need/want something that big?

Well, my camera bag doubles as my carry-all as well so I'll use it for personal items, glasses, cards/money, etc. I need a little extra room in there. My backpack one is usually loaded by so I'll have to condense as it is.
