'Budget'-priced ringflash converter unveiled 2007-11-29 09:33:00 Aimed at studio photographers on a 'tight budget' comes the Ringlite Converter from UK-based lighting group Bowens.Priced at around £294, the attachment is claimed to be compatible with all digital SLRs and is designed to allow photographers to convert a standard Bowens flashhead to produce 'ringflash-style light'.A Bowens spokesman added: 'Using this new converter photographers can simply put the camera lens through the centre of the light source.'This creates a softer, wholesome surrounding light around the lens which reduces shadows. It can also create shadowing around the outline of the subject so users can work with a specific photographic effect.' Chris Cheesmanmore : amateurphotographer ...

Photography Tips For Digital Camera Buying 2007-11-29 09:13:00 Digital cameras and camcorders are hot products this year, but if you make the wrong purchasing choices you can end up with an expensive camera that doesn’t meet your needs. The following ‘mistake’ list outlines the most common mistakes buyers make and how to avoid them.Mistake No. 1: Not knowing what you wantThe most common mistake camera buyers make is to be unsure about exactly what they want from a camera. Regardless of whether you want a digital or film camera or a still or video camera, it’s important to research the market to home in on the type of camera that will be best for the pictures you plan to take.Start by being quite clear about what types of shots you want - and how you plan to use your pictures. If you only want a camera for taking pictures to email, just about any digital camera will do (including a camcorder with stills capture to memory card). If you want to print your pictures, a 2-megapixel digicam is the lowest resolution you can use to obtain anything ...

Zoom with a view 2007-11-29 09:09:00 Digital camera buyers have more options than ever before. Digital single-lens reflex (SLR) models, which offer more control and the ability to change lenses, have fallen below $1,000. Simpler compact digital cameras, meanwhile, are gaining fun new features. Grant Buckler zooms in on models that are worth a lookOlympus E-510 Digital SLR$679.99 Here's one for the photographer who wants more than quick and simple snapshots. It offers all the control of a single-lens reflex camera, including the ability to interchange lenses, at a price not too far above a compact digital. It takes 10-megapixel images and has a 2.5-inch LCD monitor. Like most digital SLRs, it doesn't offer as many idiot-proofing features - like face detection - as some of the pricier compact models do. But like most compacts - and unlike many SLRs - its live mode allows you to see what you're photographing on the LCD display as well as through the viewfinder. (Comes with 14-42mm lens.)

Konica Minolta Dynax 7D Digital Camera Review 2007-11-29 09:06:00 Konica Minolta has finally entered the arena for high end DSLR's with the new Dynax 7D digital camera - producing some outstanding results. In many reviews on the web, you will find that each review has been conducted using a zoom lens which is good, but by no means as good a fixed focal length pro lens. This review was conducted using 3 professional fixed focal length lenses - 20mm, 50mm and 100mm AF lenses, to see what the camera is really capable of.On first impressions, the body looks and feels great. It's built with a strong metal frame and has a combination of hard black plastic for a shell and rubber on the grip. It is well sized, a good working weight for balance and feels ergonomically good in the photographer's hands. There is a big LCD (2.5 inches) for quick reviewing which for a pro body should be standard by all manufactures design briefs, and a brightly lit viewfinder. It's worth noting that the Dynax 7D is one of only a few DSLR's on the market with a 2.5 inch LCD.T ... Digital Camera

Review: Olympus E-510 DSLR with 14-42mm Zuiko lens 2007-11-29 09:02:00 Olympus E-510 DSLR with 14-42mm Zuiko lensPrice: $1500Excellent cameraLowdown: This digital single-lens reflex is built around the Four Thirds system of sensor (10 megapixels) and lens, pioneered by Olympus. The camera has "live view", meaning that the LCD screen can be selected as the viewfinder - and the implementation on this model is an improvement over the earlier versions on the 300 series cameras. There is no body-top camera status LCD and the viewfinder is not the brightest, but the general construction quality is good. The camera is smaller and lighter than the competition, and the kit lens (28-84 mm film equivalent) is very light indeed. There is in-body image stabilisation and auto sensor cleaning when the camera is turned off.Terry Lanemore : smh ...

Review : Canon EOS 40D Digital SLR - PCWORLD 2007-11-29 09:00:00 New Canon digital SLR camera strikes a terrific balance between performance and price.I've used a wide spectrum of digital SLRs, from entry-level models up to pro models. Once you have a taste of the capabilities of a professional camera, you can't easily go back to a digital SLR that's less full-featured; likewise, if you want to step up from an entry-level digital SLR, you have to get something with extra oomph. The Canon EOS 40D ($1300 body only, or $1500 with a 28mm to 135mm lens, as of November 2, 2007) delivers outstanding image quality at a price that's in reach for photo enthusiasts and professionals alike.The EOS 40D received a score of Superior in the PC World Test Center's image-quality tests. Images were well balanced, with good color saturation and accuracy, under both flash and natural light.One of the EOS 40D's advantages is that it has enough high-powered features to appeal to enthusiasts as well as to professionals seeking a second camera. It has many of the same ...

Panasonic Lumix DMC-L10 DSLR camera Review 2007-11-29 08:41:00 28 November 2007 - The Panasonic Lumix DMC-L10, to give it its full title, espouses the rangefinderesque styling and design of its blocky L1 brethren and instead Panasonic has opted for a more traditional looking digital SLR with compact and lightweight lines and a 10.1-megapixel Live MOS sensor that provides the neat Live View functionality.The new 14-50mm Leica D Vario-Elmar F3.5-F5.6 zoom kit lens provides a very useful 28-100mm 35mm format equivalent focal range but is a slower aperture affair over the L1’s lens (it has a F2.8 to F3.5 aperture range) with a more modest F3.8-F5.6 maximum aperture range and is the benefit of the continuing strategic alliance with Leica for lenses.Panasonics MEGA OIS (optical image stabilisation) is built into the lens and works very well indeed and helps offset some of the slower aperture problems you’ll encounter in low light for example, where you will slower shutter speeds at your disposal. However, it makes control of depth of field less flex ... Panasonic

Red-Eye in Flash Photos 2007-11-29 08:36:00 What is red-eye, and why does it happen?We’ve all seen it in snapshots we’ve either taken ourselves, or been shown by others: the pupils of your subject’s eyes are lit up in a devilish bright red color, unlike anything we’re used to seeing in real life. And of course, you never saw it in your camera’s viewfinder when you took the picture.What is happening is that the pupil of a person’s eye, even though it appears to be black when we view it, is actually clear. Since the inside of the eyeball is normally never illuminated, we see it as a small black circle. But in some flash photos, if the flash is close to the lens of the camera, its illumination sends a burst of light right through to the rear of the inside of the subject’s eyeball. The retina of your subject’s eyes is rich in red blood vessels, and this produces the bright red color we see in the pictures.If the flash is close enough to the lens, the light not only enters your subject’s inner eye, but can then ...

Admission Fees for "A Day in the Life of Africa" Exhibition Donated for Use in AIDS Education 2007-11-29 08:32:00 Olympus Corporation (President: Tsuyoshi Kikukawa) was a premier sponsor of "A Day in the Life of Africa" and provided extensive support, including the supply of photographic equipment, for this international photographic event. As part of its contribution to this initiative, which was the biggest photographic project in history, Olympus staged the first "A Day in the Life Africa Exhibition" at the Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Photography in June 2003. Admission fees from the exhibition were donated to the United Nations for use in AIDS education. The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) used these funds to produce a music CD, "We are the Drums for an AIDS Generation," which was recently completed.For more information : olympus ...

New photo essay page, "Olympus Technology-Unleashing Your Imagination" is launched. - M. Marubayashi 2007-11-29 08:28:00 "To photograph insects properly, you have to focus on their eyes."My first encounter with a camera was as a high school student, when my friend showed me his. Wanting one immediately, I bought a single lens reflex model. I was absolutely enthralled at first, and took photos of anything and everything, although at first I was more interested in the mechanism of the camera itself than the actual photographs, which I regarded as being of less importance. Later on at university, where I majored in Japanese history with the aim of becoming a teacher of social studies, the idea of being a photographer was still far from my mind. Nevertheless, I eventually joined a publishing company with the hope of being able to do some photographic work. As it turned out, my job involved nothing but marketing and I was never given any photographic jobs. After seven years I'd had enough and quit the company.It was then, having just turned 30 with no particular plan in mind, that I decided to set out on my ...
