    If you're carrying a camera around your neck, you're doing it wrong.

    I couldn't really recommend the GorillaPod, you're better off with a monopod or real tripod.

    Point and shoots make great gifts too and are great for learning, Hell, Alex Majoli, a Magnum Photographer, created quite a few iconic photos using only a point and shoot superzoom camera.

    @Nathan Obbards: hope you're gonna say you should be carrying it on your shoulder, because no one that shoots pro uses a case.

    those Disgrace shoulder straps are awesome though, really makes a 300mm comfortable on a shoulder.

    @LolitaMalinky: I've heard mixed reviews about the Black Rapid straps. I've heard that their quick release parts have a penchant for breaking and dropping your camera. I've never had problems with a padded body strap, even with a 300mm f/2.8 on the body.

    @Purple Umpteenth: Definitely meant carrying it on your shoulder. That's the only way to go.

    @gstar: It gives you slower access to your camera(s), puts a lot of strain on your neck, gets in the way, can hinder your shooting, a slew of issues. By carrying it on your should you can eliminate most of them. Not only that, but you can often give yourself added stability by shortening the strap and pulling it tight against your arm/shoulder when you shoot.

    @matt buchanan: I worked with cameras for quite a few years. It really isn't that it's artsy or touristy, but ease of use and accessibility.

    @Nathan Obbards: long exposures of a river, where you want to be close to the surface, Also, how the juice are you supposed to hike with a tripod? Maybe if you're a pro a shoot, then you would want to set up the tripod, etc, but otherwise...

    No wonder there's so much confusion about where to find the TVs!

    They're inexplicably listed under the "Televisions" category, instead of "Big Video Display Things"

    I know the officially say it's an IR laser, but I'm thinking it's red LEDs since otherwise you'd need a camera to see it, or the lenses you detect would need to be coated in IR-fluorescent material... and of course if it used lasers you'd never get the lucky shot on a hidden camera.

    Wow, that one's expensive! I've seen the detectors before though - basically they just optimally glare off things straight back at your eye.

    @mfusion: Nope... the orange filter only keeps certain wavelengths from coming through, so if it allowed IR, it'd come through as IR and you still wouldn't see it. I'm 99% certain that it's RED LEDs and a case of Chinese product packaging... (Like a watch I saw today made in Shenzhen that says "London" on it because... it looks good.)

    I've seen cheaper versions with no wifi detector that have a red filter - I think the only reason it's colored is because it'd allow whatever color is shone from the lights on it, and might keep colors like blue from catching your eye if they're also reflected off something.
