Hoya Q2 profit down on memory disks, LCD equipment 2007-10-29 23:15:00 TOKYO, Oct 29 - Hoya Corp posted a 4.5 percent fall in quarterly operating profit, hit by sluggish sales of liquid crystal display-making equipment and a delay in the production of advanced glass disks used in hard disk drives. Hoya, which acquired digital camera and medical equipment maker Pentax Corp earlier this year, benefited from brisk sales of optical lenses for digital cameras and higher sales of glass used in the production of semiconductors.But a delay in the production of hard disks with a so-called "perpendicular recording method" weighed on its quarterly earnings, while price competition hurt sales of glass used to make LCDs.Operating profit at Hoya, which competes with Konica Minolta Holdings Inc in the hard disk substrate business, came to 26.85 billion yen in July-September, compared with a 28.13 billion yen profit a year earlier.The result is roughly in line with Hoya's forecast for 26.36 billion yen. Merrill Lynch had estimated 26.5 billion yen.Net profit slid 8.2 pe ...

Sony A700 review - letsgodigital 2007-10-29 23:00:00 Sony A700 review : Finally Sony are making good their promise to bring a real Alpha system on the market that not only appeals to the amateur but the semi-pro and even the professional photographer alike with the introduction of the Sony Alpha 700. I do not wish to claim the Sony A700 to be the ultimate tool for professionals. These photographers most possibly use a DSLR of the same brand they already own as a second camera. However; a start has been made. Many people were eagerly awaiting the Sony DSLR-A700. During the presentation of the Sony Alpha A700 in Italy, I was able to work briefly with Sony's new addition. Thereafter Sony gave us the opportunity to make an in-depth review about the Sony A700, read our experiences with this DSLR camera in the following review.Dennis Hissinkmore : letsgodigital ... Sony

100 in 100: How to Spot Sensor Dust 2007-10-29 22:51:00 If you have a digital SLR and change lenses, you probably have small dark spots on your images caused by dirt particles on the sensor.

Manfrotto 190X Pro-B Tripod & 804RC2 Head: Review 2007-10-29 22:43:00 Manfrotto make good professional tripods at affordable prices - the 190X Pro-B being no exception.190X SeriesReplacing the 190 series in the UK, the Manfrotto 190X Pro-B aluminium tripod comes in at a svelte 1.8kgs, but is capable of holding up to 5kgs. This means the vast majority of DSLR and lens combos will sit snugly on top - even pro bodies with batteries and fat f/2.8 70-200mm zooms will make the grade.Its not only light, but compact too, measuring just 57cms when closed, and extending to 146cm maximum. Plus it's good value... so it's not going to break the bank nor the back.On LocationWithout the availability of wind tunnels or research labs in the ThinkCamera offices, it was to the fields to test: Wind and water? No problem!Those aluminium legs are designed to be light and strong, the quick release latches easy to handle; essentially you could throw this off the top of a house and it'd still be in one piece (don't try this at home, kids).Hardened photo-backpackers may know ...
