The Booq Slimpack is the perfect camera bag for minimalists

Add as a preferred source on Google

The Booq Slimpack is a hybrid camera and computer bag that will hold a DSLR camera, a few lenses, a 12″ MacBook, and accessories at the same time. It’s geared toward travel where you only need to bring essential equipment, and it’s extremely practical without being too complicated. The Slimpack definitely has a premium look to it, and when everything’s zipped up it has a streamlined profile. It uses a combination of recycled fabric and ballistic nylon that offers weatherproof protection, and there’s an included outer waterproof covering if needed.

We liked the easily accessible compartments on either side that are designed to store memory cards, camera batteries, and accessories. The main compartment is customize-able with dividers to manage your lenses and larger accessories. There’s a concealed flap that can be pulled out which will secure the foot of a tripod.That means only one strap is needed to mount a tripod to the outside.

At $195, the Booq Slimpack is a premium camera bag, and it’s very well thought-out. It offers sufficient protection for your expensive camera equipment, and it’s very practical without being overly complicated.

Fujifilm’s Instax Pal 2 is tiny, playful, and finally feels like a real camera
The palm-sized camera now gets a viewfinder, 1-inch screen, 10MP photos, and twice the built-in storage
Fujifilm Instax Pal 2 in hand

Fujifilm knows the first Instax Pal was a strange little camera. The company itself admits that some buyers were not quite sure what to make of it when it launched, while others liked having a camera small enough to carry almost anywhere. For the second generation, Fujifilm has kept the tiny form factor but added several things the original conspicuously lacked.

The new Instax Pal 2 gets an optical viewfinder, a 1-inch screen on top, physical dials and levers, better image quality, and twice as much built-in storage. Fujifilm has also given it a more traditional camera look, which feels appropriate for a device that is now trying a little harder to behave like one.

The Godox C100 is a fun little camera that gets out of the way
The C100 keeps photography simple, spontaneous, and surprisingly fun
Electronics, Mobile Phone, Phone

The Godox C100 is one of those gadgets that makes you stop and wonder what exactly you’re looking at. “What the heck is this?” was pretty much my first reaction when I came across it on social media. It’s a camera, a video camera, and a light meter packed into a tiny device that looks more like a fun little gadget than a piece of serious photography equipment. Naturally, I wanted to get my hands on one and play around with it.

After spending a couple of days taking photos and videos in different locations and playing with the light meter, I have a pretty good idea of what the C100 is good for. More importantly, I think the C100 works precisely because it doesn’t try to be everything a modern camera is supposed to be.
