Lowepro have been at the top of the camera case market for quite some time, producing innovative, spacious and extremely protective cases for the vital contents it's users put inside.

Lowepro produce cases not only for dSLR's, but for a whole range of products, spanning the complete camera range, and digging into Laptops and other personal electronics. A company with 30 years experience, and the ear to understand and produce what the consumers want, Lowepro are at the peak of their evolution.

Today, I'm reviewing the Lowepro Nova 4 - Although there are a range in this series spanning from 1 to 5. This range is merely a difference in size. The Nova 4 has the capacity to store 1 or 2 SLR's, 3 or 5 Lenses, a Flash gun and other apparal. I managed to squeeze in my Canon EOS 20D, Canon Speedlite 580EX, Canon 50mm Prime f/1.8 Lens and other accessories such as CF Card, Cleaning utilities and manuals.

The bag has an amazing array of features, one which I find most pleasing, is the adjustable strap, this strap is built with the user in mind. It's fully padded at the top, to ensure any heavy equipment puts as minimum strain to the users shoulder as possible, as well as the Lowepro logo embroidered into it.

The front compartment is another brilliant key to this bag, as the amount of protection it gives to anything vital you may hold inside, is unbelievable. The front compartment also holds the waterproof cover to allow for mobility in rain.

*GASP* An adjustable shoulder strap? Good god. How ingeniously innovative! With technological wonders such as this, I can only imagine what they'll come up with next! And don't you dare tell us it features pockets and a zipper too? Ooo.... I'm feeling giddy. I had best take a lie down.

    • UK funds £60M AI labs to challenge US tech dominance with open-source models by Paul Hill The UK government has awarded £60 million to Oxford University and University College London to help keep the country in the AI race by focusing on open-source, low-hardware alternatives. This is in stark contrast to the expensive, closed-source, and high-hardware-requirement models being created in the United States and elsewhere. The money will be shared among two new academic research labs over six years to help them redesign the fundamental mathematics and architectures of AI to help the UK reduce its reliance on a handful of US tech firms. Commenting on the development, AI Minister Kanishka Narayan said: Initially, the government planned to fund just one lab with a £40 million investment, but with this update, two labs will now get access to a larger pool of funds. The labs are expected to invest in the top AI researchers at every career stage, with £2 million per lab being set aside for hiring at least ten doctoral students. The government hopes that this will grow the UK’s talent in the field of AI. The labs are also expected to work closely with the leaders in British AI research, such as the Alan Turing Institute and UKRI’s AI research hubs. This will allow the various teams to collaborate and create new solutions faster than they could alone. This development is pretty interesting for a number of reasons, chiefly that it could create a long-term challenge for US tech firms if these labs successfully scale these open-source architectures that bypass the proprietary ecosystems. It could also give British businesses and public sector organizations access to AI features without paying high licensing fees to foreign providers or needing to invest in specialized server infrastructure.
    • If I were them, I'm gonna hold out until the prices of these semiconductor parts normalize. $1,049 for a ~5 year old hardware is DoA, more so for gamers. On a deeper note, if Steam Machine is priced like this, we are soo effed up for the next gen Xbox console and PS6. With great AAA titles releasing at the end of the year, this just creates more demand...and more tears for me. Lol.
    • I suspect one reason its hard to justify subsidising is that it's not a locked down device like a traditional console is. In this climate sadly if it was a "good deal" you'd get people hoarding them for anything but gaming. The Lenovo Legion Go 2 with the Ryzen Z2 Extreme is £1300 here ($1720) for some context on how other SteamOS like devices are now priced. I got the older Z1 Extreme model for £300 with a dock, just shows how insane prices have got recently.
