HP dumps digital camera business 2007-11-09 11:12:00 Palo Alto (CA) – Hewlett-Packard (HP) said that it will stop building digital cameras and is looking for a “partner” to develop and sell digital cameras under the HP brand.HP is looking to leave the digital camera business and the mainstream snapshot camera segment it is competing in and shift its focus to its “Print 2.0” strategy. The company said that it is currently “working to identify an original equipment manufacturer partner that would be licensed to design, source and distribute digital cameras under the HP brand.” HP will continue selling its own cameras through the holiday season and intends to have the partnership arrangement in place in the first half of 2008. The company hopes that the strategy shift will enable the company to dedicate more resources to home photo printing technologies, online photo services as well as the company’s retail photo-finishing business.Depending on the research firm, it is estimated that somewhere between 80 and 100 million dig ...

Sony Alpha ?700 Digital SLR - review 2007-11-09 11:08:00 The digital SLR market is dominated by Canon, with a share of around 47 percent for its eight-model range. In second place is Nikon, who's seven models have around 33 percent of the market. In third place is Sony, with a market share of roughly 6.2 percent. That may not sound like much in numbers, but it has achieved this in just a year and a half and with only one model, the amazingly successful Alpha A100 digital SLR. At the launch event for that camera, a Sony representative stated the company's intention to shoulder its way into the market and challenge the long-established leaders, and like most of the other journalists present I was somewhat sceptical, however I will gladly admit that I was wrong to doubt. Sony has succeeded in leapfrogging industry veterans Pentax, Olympus, Kodak and Sigma, and Nikon must be glancing nervously into the rear-view mirror, because Sony has just launched a new model aimed at the hobbyist and semi-professional photographer, the Alpha A700.more : ...

Hands On: Nikon D3 2007-11-08 08:11:00 Five reasons why this new pro-level DSLR is without a doubt Nikon's greatest camera ever.The Nikon D3 ($5,000, street, body only) may not be within reach of most photographers' budgets, but that won't stop them from dreaming about this amazing pro camera. We'll find out precisely how amazing it is when we put a production version through the gauntlet of image-quality and performance tests in the Pop Photo Lab. But based on our extensive hands-on experience using a fully operational (but not fully testable) model, we believe this might be the greatest camera Nikon has ever built. The D3 has enough unique features and technology to fill a book -- and no doubt several are already in progress. In the meantime, here are five reasons we are so high on it:1. Rock-solid build and sophisticated design.Nikon clearly spared no expense in toughening the D3's ergonomic body, comprising magnesium-alloy chassis components and a durable external surface with rubberized panels in all the right pla ...
