Chrome has just announced their new Niko Camera Bag, and to celebrate they’ve launched a photo contest—the prize for which is the Niko Camera Bag and a Nikon D3000 DSLR to go inside of it. The deadline is July 25, 2011 so listen close if you want to enter. They are looking for shots that capture something special about your city. “Stories that make up your city are found in the faces, sights, and sounds that are immersed in it. From the recluse to the regulars, everyone carries a piece of its many parts. We’ve all got that favorite record store, little-known food spot, bicycle shortcut, or local hero that makes a city wholly ours,” says Chrome. So go ahead and capture your own shot for the chance to win. More info on how to enter can be found at the official This Is My City: Photo Contest site.

ThinkTANK Photo announced today the Sling-O-Matic bag—”the photo industry’s first sling bag that can be easily switched back and forth to either shoulder.” The brand’s sling bags have long been popular with photographers, but it seems they have gotten a lot of feedback about the previous inability to switch shoulders, which results in back pain. They have addressed that issue with the Sling-O-Matic, which “with one smooth motion…can be quickly switched to the opposite shoulder.” The Sling-O-Matic comes in three sizes to fit the needs of different photographers: the Sling-O-Matic 10 can carry a pro-size DSLR and three to four lenses, including a 70-200 f2.8; the Sling-O-Matic 20 and Sling-O-Matic 30 can each carry a pro-size DSLR and four to six lenses, including a 70-200 f2.8; the Sling-O-Matic 30 also features a separate laptop compartment for carrying a 15.4” laptop. All bags will be available in early October. More from ThinkTANK Photo here.
