Digital Photography Competition - Round Eight 2008-01-02 10:26:00 For some reason our December theme of "Celebrations" drew far fewer than our normal number of entries. Perhaps everyone was to busy celebrating to take photos, in which case I hope you all had a good time! I'll take this opportunity to wish all our readers a very happy New Year, and to thank everyone who entered our photography competition in 2007. Once the hangover has worn off, it's time to get busy with January's theme.The theme for January is "WINTER LANDSCAPE", and the closing date for submissions is JANUARY 31ST 2008.The PrizesJust to recap in case you've been suffering from terminal turkey coma for the past seven months, we are running a regular monthly photography competition that will give you the chance to show off your best photos, and to win some very nice prizes. Each month we'll announce a new theme and a closing date, and then you'll have one month to submit a photo on that theme. After the closing date we'll compare all the entries and pick the winners.

Sony A200 2008-01-02 10:04:00 I found the pics of the supposed A200 that I was asking for in another thread, so I thought that I would post them all together. Although it appears some of the text on the body may be photoshopped in (i'm assuming that horrible diagonal 10.2 MP text won't be on the real body,) they all seem consistent to me. IMO it's the real deal. headofdestinymore info & Photo : dpreview ... Sony

Flash is right as rain 2008-01-02 09:58:00 THE risk of a few raindrops landing underneath a pop-up flash-mounted above the prism has always been a worry.It's certainly a great place for a pop-up -- out of the way of fingers and high enough to reduce red-eye -- but the weather-seal issue is a concern.At the launch of the new Olympus E-3 digital SLR, Akira Watanabe, the brand's deputy general manager for product strategy, popped up the flash and poured a jug of water right into the gap between the prism and the flash.You can imagine the surprise.The collective response from the gathered media cannot be re-produced in this publication.The latest DSLR from Olympus is so weatherproof (they call it "splash-proof") that the punishment was taken without any harm.You wouldn't want to take it scuba diving, but with this model there's now far less reason to fear a sudden downpour or a drink being knocked over your precious camera.

10 Photo Industry Predictions for 2008 2008-01-02 09:28:00 Last year I said I could predict the future. Y’know what? I didn’t do that badly. In fact, more than half of my predictions came to pass. While a 60 would be a failing grade in school, that’s better than average in the predicton biz. So, empowered by last year’s success, I’ve decided to do it again.Here are my educated guesses, based on nothing more than closely watching the industry and entirely free of insider information, for developments we may see in 2008. We’ll reconvene at the end of the year and see how many of these bold predictions come to pass: Mason Resnickmore : adorama ...

It works, rain or shine - E3 2007-12-30 13:27:00 "The Olympus E3 comes at a time when the market is full of DSLRs. However, I do believe that Olympus has carved itself a comfortable niche with the E3. And it is competitively priced at RM5,699 (body only). I can happily recommend the E3 to any serious photographer who has not yet jumped into the DSLR world and is looking for a completely new and innovative set-up. And the Olympus E-series and the Four-Thirds systems have enough lenses and accessories to please even the most hardened professionals."By LAI VOON LOONGmore : thestar ...

Is Pentax's top model the right one? 2007-12-29 08:38:00 Q I'm buying a digital SLR camera and you write favorably about Pentax. I've seen the K10D, their top model, on sale recently with a $100 rebate. That makes it the same price as the entry-level Canon Digital Rebel XTi and Nikon D40x. Do you think the K10D is a better buy at approximately the same price? Anything else I should consider?STELIOS DOKIANAKIS, PITTSBURGH, PAA Whether the K10D is right for you is best determined by what kind of camera you want and need. There are three classes of digital SLRs: professional, consumer and "prosumer." Professional models are heavy-duty workhorses with lightning-fast responses and a wide range of settings. This category is completely dominated by Canon and Nikon. Prices start above $3,000 and go way up from there.The Canon Digital Rebel XTi, Nikon D40X and Pentax K100D Super are consumer models. These produce excellent image quality but are not built as sturdily, nor do they focus and shoot as quickly as pro models. They are lighter, and easier ...

Nikon D60 to Replace D40x 2007-12-29 08:31:00 Word is that the Nikon D60 will replace the D40x in Spring 2008. This info comes from M-L, who also gave us the heads up on the Nikon D3 the day before its announcement, so this is perhaps a little more solid than many of the rumors that we get leading up to new announcements. The source also revealed that a Nikon D90/D80x would not be coming. Perhaps Nikon will be dropping the D70/D80 series as a wedge between the D40 series and D200/D300 series.This rumor was prompted by reports of the end of manufacturing of the Nikon D40x on this site. A DP Review forum user gave us a decent translation and some commentary:more : photographybay ...

Olympus E-3 REview 2007-12-29 08:11:00 The E-3, the flagship of Olympus' Digital SLR line, combines speed and durability in a splash-proof magnesium alloy body. Early to embrace Live View and Dust Reduction features in a dSRL, Olympus now appears to offer the fastest autofocus in the world. Body-Integrated image stabilization , a 10-megapixel Live MOS image sensor, Supersonic Wave Drive and one of the largest and most accurate viewfinders prove Olympus is not sitting on their laurels but is still an innovator in photographic technology.Are you ready for the "World's Fastest Autofocus" dSLR? Used in combination with the Zuiko Digital SWD ED 12-60mm f2.8-4 lens, the E-3’s new AF system is the world’s fastest. The newest SWD (Supersonic Wave Drive) lenses focus twice as fast as previous Zuiko Digital lenses with the same focal length. Happily, every lens receives some benefit from the new AF, not just SWD lenses. Olympus credits a unique Twin cross type, 11 point AF sensor based on their micro-sensing technologies as a k ...
