Accessory Steals, $7-$70
There are plenty of useful gadgets in this price range for holding, aiming, carrying, and protecting your camera, but one category—extra memory, in the form of either cards or USB drives—is critical. At prices this low, you can’t afford not to have this kind of backup. Items in this group also make great, affordable gifts for photogaphy-loving friends and family. Why not slip a memory card in with that birthday card?
Datacolor SpyderCube
Small and light enough to fit in almost any camera bag, the $40 SpyderCube has a midtone gray patch that makes color balancing simple, while the white, black, and specular highlight points let you monitor dynamic range.
