Welcome to a Digital Camera Battery specialist
of Camcorder Battery First post by: www.laptop-battery-stores.com
The photographers at the Telegram & Gazette use an assortment of equipment to fill the needs of the job: covering news. Their basic bag consists of a pair of Nikon D300s to shoot stills and video.
The cameras are fitted with the optional battery pack like canon NB-1L battery, canon NB-2L battery, canon BP-511 battery, canon NB-5L battery, canon NB-4L battery, canon NB-5H battery, panasonic VW-VBD1E Battery, panasonic VW-VBD1 Battery, Panasonic CGA-S002 Battery, HITACHI DZ-HS300E Battery, Olympus FE-230 Battery, canon MV930 Battery that attaches via the tripod mount. The bodies have proven to be fairly sturdy tools and, dare I say, resistant to less than ideal weather conditions, which is vital when covering a tornado touchdown or a freak snowstorm in October.
Each photographer is also equipped with an 80-200mm f/2.8 telephoto-zoom and a 17-35 f/2.8 wide-zoom, the meat and potato lenses carried by photojournalist all over the universe. Fast glass, such as the f/2.8 lenses, are an absolute must for shooting in low light without a flash.
T&G photographers carry other lenses, too, like the Nikkor 50mm f/1.4, a nice piece of fast glass for low light, which serves double duty as an intermediate length portraits lens. Some carry the ultra-wide-angle 14mm although it doesn't see heavy use.
A 300mm f/2.8 and a 400mm f/3.5 are available for sporting events or when shooting in low light, such as a concert at the DCU or Hanover. The telephotos help capture images from a distance but are big and heavy, and beg to be mounted on a monopod.
Sure, there are other lenses in the bag but these are the bread and butter tools at the T&G.
