I purchased this a few months ago specifically for on-hill ski photos. I spend most winter weekends with a bunch of ski racers, and shoot around 3,000 images in a weekend. Swapping lenses on the course is a really bad idea (lens and camera guts do not mix well with snow,) so I needed a good way to carry the camera/200mm lens.
This is the best investment I’ve made in a camera bag. I’m not saying that if I take a header down the hill or if I kiss a tree the bag will save the camera – only a hard case would do that. But it does keep the camera safe from minor falls, keeps it warm (there’s plenty of space to add heat packs) – and dry. There’s a cover that pulls out of a small pouch that acts as a rain poncho for the bag, making it darn near water proof! The outside pockets hold extra batteries and CF cards. It also supports the lowepro harness system – I’m looking into that for this bag and other lowepro bags I own.
Update: This winter (Jan 2010) I DID take a header down the hill – 25 foot tumble followed by a 50 foot slide at Marquette Mountain. Camera and lens: undamaged.

The Wii console is small and fits out of the way. It was easy to hook up. The only problem I had with this purchase is the remote does not work. I tried configuring it to the console and also tried new batteries, and still no luck. Had to purchase a new one from the store. I have not had time to get with the purchasee to let them know of the problem and to get a replacement. Schedule has been hectic. So, I can not say they have not corrected this problem because I have not contacted them yet.

I enjoyed this first book in a Harry Potter-sortof way. It’s good, fun escapism. What I like is how the tempo of the book changes from criminal drama to comedy to fantasy to spy novel, etc, etc… Initially, you aren’t really sure what is going on, but eventually the young anti-hero idea catches on and becomes a very entertaining narrative. Nathaniel Parker provides a fantastic narration, reminiscent of Jim Dale’s excellent characterization for the Potter audio books.
Having finished the first couple books, I’m led to think of the first two books almost as a continuous story, with many of the same characters recurring.
Worth checking out.
