I personally don't like to drag a lot of equipment with me when I'm out shooting, but there are a few things I simply can't do without. I have listed my top 5 pieces of equipment that every photographer (amateur or not) should consider adding to their camera bag.

Epson's Multimedia Photo Viewers

These small, portable backup/storage/display devices can truly save the day if you are out shooting and find yourself with filled up memory cards and lots left to see. You can transfer photos (as well as video and music) straight from your camera or through the built in card slots. The viewers come in three different configurations: the P-3000 has a 40GB hard drive, the P-6000 80GB, and the P-7000 160GB. All measure 3.5x5.9x1.3 " and weigh 1lb, and some of the features include 4" screens, long life rechargeable batteries, and A/V output. $299-$699.

Gorilla pod

These flexible, funky looking tripods are amazing little gadgets. Sturdy and durable, their legs twist and bend so that they are able to attach to almost anything (your bike, a car, a pole, a branch, etc.). They come in 5 sizes to suit everything from cell phones to heavy video cameras, and are really lightweight: 1.6oz (the "Go-Go") to 1.1 lbs (the "Focus"). The SLR model weighs in at 5.8oz and costs $44.95, and the Original model (for point and shoots) weighs 1.6 oz and sells for $24.95.

Homemade Flash diffuser

On-camera flashes usually produce some pretty horrible results, and not everyone wants to spend money on an external flash (and take the time to perfect using it). I have found two homemade remedies that work really well:

For popup flashes, use an old film canister (not the black ones obviously, the hazy white ones). Take the lid off, cut a strip out of it from top to bottom, just wide enough so that it fits snugly over your flash, and just slide it in place so that the flash is being fired through the canister. You'll have to play around with the camera settings a little bit to get the exposure to where you want it. If you don't have any old canisters lying about, ask at a photo printing shop if you can have one.

For point and shoot flashes, I use a small piece of tape, regular Scotch Magic Tape (not the totally clear kind). Put one piece over the flash, test and see what you think. If it's still too strong, just put another piece over it. Weight: negligible. Cost: Around $2 for the tape.

Collapsible Reflector

It might seem like an unnecessary expense, but these small, lightweight disks are invaluable for adding light to the shaded part of a person or object, both indoors and out. I use the 22" Photoflex disk in Silver/White for just about everything, but they come in several different colors. Give it a try yourself: place a person parallel to a window and take a head shot without the reflector. Then take one with your subject holding the reflector (outside of the picture of course) so that it bounces the light from the window into the shaded side of their face, and look at the difference. If you want to do the test shots before investing, try it with a white piece of cardboard. It works just as well, but it's not as easy to pack in a bag. Weight: 1.75 oz. (22" Photoflex) Cost: Around $25.

Rain Protection

The Shutter Hat is like a raincoat for your camera (SLR) so you don't have to pass up shooting outside just because it's raining or snowing. It's held in place by Velcro and a rubber piece that fits into the flash hot shoe, and covers lenses up to 8" long. It also has two slits for the strap, so you can still carry it around your neck with the Hat on. It folds up really small, so you can carry it with you and have it on hand all the time in case of a sudden downpour. Weight: 2.28 oz. Cost: $39.95

For point and shoot cameras, your best bet is to invest in a waterproof case such as Aquapac or DiCAPac. Not only will they protect your camera in the rain, you can also take it snorkeling or diving. 2.7oz, $29.95-$49.95. For a land-only low cost alternative, use a shower cap or a ziplock bag with a hole cut out for the lens.

Creative Shoe Organizers For Ultra Active Kids

It seems like kids have more on their plates today than ever before. They are constantly running from one activity to the next. They head straight from school to soccer practice and then they go out skateboarding with their friends. On the weekends, it is a dance recital or Sunday school or a family reunion.

Between sports, formal events, and random day-to-day activities, kids today have a lot of occasions for a lot of different kinds of shoes. We all wish life could be a little simpler, but the fact is, you can't wear your baseball cleats when you're riding a skateboard. And no kid wants to be caught wearing his church shoes when he is hanging out with his friends. The problem is that for families with active children, shoes start to take over the whole house. Luckily, there are lots of terrific, fashionable, and convenient shoe organizers on the market so your kids can stay busy and you can stay sane. Here are a few examples.

Overdoor Shoe Rack

A great way to save space in a child's bedroom is with this shoe rack, which hangs right over the back of the bedroom or closet door. It can also be mounted permanently to any wall. The overdoor shoe rack comes in two different options. One holds up to 24 pairs of shoes and the other holds 36 pairs. This unit is constructed of sturdy polymer sides, which are connected by steel rods. Minimize clutter in your kid's room with this ingenious space-saving device.

Doored Cube

These PVC plastic cubes are a fantastic way to store shoes, or anything else for that matter! They measure 18 X 18 X 18" and utilize an interlocking system so that you can stack them in countless different ways to maximize space usage. In the garage, family room, or bedroom, these stylish storage units are at home in any room.

Shoes Under

Don't let the dust bunnies have the run of the valuable space under your bed. Take advantage of that extra room with Shoes Under. Whether you need extra space for your athletic shoes, high heels, or sandals, you can store up to a dozen different pairs in the Shoes Under. Shoes Under is made of nylon and vinyl and slides right under your bed or can also be placed on your closet floor.  It also has a zippered cover made of see-through material so that if you have more than one you can find the shoes you are looking for in a flash. Don't trip over your sneakers, put them in their place with Shoes Under.

Revolving Chrome Shoe Organizer

This brilliantly designed shoe rack stands vertically and features three circular tiers of storage possibilities. The revolving chrome shoe organizer can hold up to eighteen pairs of shoes. It keeps them off the floor so they won't get as dusty when stored for long periods of time. The revolving 360-degree motion makes grabbing a pair in a hurry a breeze. This device also incorporates a special locking mechanism allowing you to raise or lower the height of the stand to accommodate your exact shoe size.

Melamine Shoe Cube

A stylish shelving unit in its own right, the melamine shoe cube handily stores men's, women's, and children's shoes in either the 15 or 25 pair version. It is a great addition to any family's vestibule, basement, or storage area. The 25 pair unit measures 31 ½ X 24 X 12" while the 15 pair unit measures 19 3/8 X 24 X 12". It is constructed of laminated particleboard and some assembly is required. Store boots, flats, sneakers, and more with this cool and modern shoe organizer.

Space Saving Rolling Shoe Organizer

Extra vertical space in your child's closet can be fully taken advantage of with this tower of shoe possibilities. It is made of polyester with a wood frame and rests on four small wheels so that you can move it wherever you need. The space saving rolling shoe organizer holds twenty-eight pairs of shoes in a unique and stylish way. Make your kid's closet into a fancy wardrobe with this nifty shoe organizer.

Hanging Shoe Organizer

What better way to capitalize on extra closet space than with a shoe rack that actually hangs right from your clothing rod? It has ten separate boxes to accommodate ten pairs of shoes, or anything else you can think of. This unit also has polyester mesh pockets on the side for additional storage of sunglasses, jewelry, belts, and more. The hanging shoe organizer measures 11.50 X 5 X 52" and is constructed of a lovely pink fabric that will dazzle every daughter.

As the years pass, our lives become more and more busy. We run around town collecting hobbies, friends, and new experiences. This can bring a lot of joy and personal growth, but it can also bring stress and clutter. Organizing your shoes isn't going to drastically simplify your life. You're still going to be running around like a crazy person half the time, and so is your family. But at least you won't be tripping over each other's sneakers when you are running out the door.

Will any hot shoe flash Work on any Hot Shoe ?

I have a sony F717 Digital, it has a hot shoe.

Will a flash off of a regular 35mm or digital WORK ??

is a Hot Shoe a Hot Shoe ?
Will any Sony, Vivitar, Sunpak, or Metz Work ?

No, there are all sorts of compatibility issues. Things might work out perfectly, or you might lose some (TTL/ iTTL) functionality, or in the worst case you could even fry your camera.
Check your manual for supported flash guns, or search for specific combinations on the net. Here's a Sony user's forum for starters: http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/forum.asp?forum=1009
