Have Youse Guys Got...Hahnel and Inca and Hoodman



"Have youse guys got a charger for my camera? And a plug-in thing to go to the computer? I need one by Friday 'cause I'm goin' on holiday."

Sometime in the future when archeologists are digging down through the strata to find evidence of civilisation here in Australia they are going to run into a thick layer of digital camera chargers and computer cords - lain down by people who put them in a very safe place - a very safe place indeed - or who leave them on the nightstands of hotels all over the country.

This is evident from the number of enquiries we get each day for their replacement. With the exception of the Flapoflex company, who have foreseen the problem, all other manufacturers are well behind the times. They supply one each of these articles in the new camera boxes. Flapoflex has realised what their customers are capable of and have decided to supply a sausage of chargers with each Flapoflex digital camera - rather like a machine-gun belt. You lose one charger and just rotate the next one into line.

For all the rest who are using Nikon, Canon, Pentax, Olympus, etc. we have decided to keep in two universal charger systems. They are made by Inca and Hahnel and feature adjustable charging blocks that can be plugged into either the 240 volt mains or a 12 volt car lighter system. They can trickle electricity into AA, AAA, and many other cells, They cope with most Li ion batteries from digital cameras and they have little sensor circuits built in to make sure you can put the batteries in the right way. They cost about $ 69 and are brightly coloured - so that you can see them before you check out of the next hotel room...

As for losing the computer cord, well good. Buy a Hoodman or San Disk card reader and be done with it. Your files will transfer safely into your computer at a much faster pace than ever they would with the computer cord and there will be no risk of confusion into the card from the camera fighting with the computer. And best news of all - we have lots of them so you can leave them in the hotel room for the next user...
