The Canon 5D Mark II is out (via) 2008-09-17 04:08AM
The Canon 5D Mk II is here. And I was right that Canon was waiting for everybody else to put their cards on the table before letting loose with the 5D. 21 megapixels (slightly less than the A900, but more than the Nikons), maximum ISO of 25,600, live view, and 1080p HDTV recording.
Your half-yearly reminder: Back up your stuff! 2008-09-14 06:51PM
So, just a reminder to everybody... Back up your stuff regularly!
Panasonic G1 vs. Canon G9: Size Comparison (via) 2008-09-13 12:45PM
This is useful. The G1 looks like it might be reasonably able to fit in the pocket with the 20mm f/1.7 lens. I think that whenever they decide that American consumers can handle a smaller camera, the camera they produce will be the sort of thing I want.
Vivitar 285HV is actually not gone... 2008-09-12 10:49AM
Vivitar went bankrupt, but apparently the new owner is going to make the 285HV still.
Panasonic DMC-G1 Hands-on Preview (via) 2008-09-12 10:21AM
So Panasonic has announced their Micro 4/3rds camera. It is a cute and tiny SLR-shaped camera, not the rangefinder some of us were hoping for....

With the colors and other such features, the word on the Internet is that it's aimed at the female audience. I don't think it'll really make sense until the 20mm f/1.7 lens comes out, assuming that it's a pancake lens. Also, it won't autofocus with standard 4/3rds lenses nor does it do video.
Kodak's new Ektar 100 2008-09-09 11:54PM
Kodak makes yet another new C-41 film
Sony Alpha A900 full frame dSLR (via) 2008-09-09 12:14PM
The Sony Alpha A900 is out, with a full-frame 24.6 megapixel sensor with built in IS. I'm the sort of person who thinks that this, paired with a 50mm 1.8 lens, would be fairly neat. You can bet that Canon was probably waiting for this to occur before they announced their 5D replacement, tho.
Beyond the standard dSLR body 2008-09-07 02:40PM
The biggest excitement, clearly, is the market of second camera bodies for people who already have one good body. It looks like we're starting out with live-view compacts, and that's fun, but I'm pretty sure that there are some other ideas out there. I've got a few brainstorms...
Far beyond the megapixel race 2008-09-05 11:20AM
Every time somebody bumps up the number of megapixels, there's always another set of blog posts about how useless the megapixel race is. But I don't think they get it right all the time...
Polaroid resuming supply of 3 types of film (via) 2008-09-04 11:38AM
Polaroid is announcing that they will supply some Polaroid film. Of course, it's only the same stuff that Fuji already manufactures....
Like I said before: Samsung decides to drop in on the Serious Compact market, too (via) 2008-08-30 12:49PM
Like I said before: "...if [the 4/3rds design] works out for Olympus, it's trivial for Nikon, Canon, Pentax, or Sony to pull the exact same stunt.." I just forgot to mention Samsung specifically.
The nikon D90 2008-08-27 02:54PM
Some years ago, I helped a now-former-co-worker with his moviemaking. My biggest contribution was being the caterer and making sure that his cast and crew was the best fed cast and crew in the entire bay area film scene....
Canon G10 Information Posted at Pop Photo Website (via) 2008-08-26 12:52PM
The official rumors on the G10! My bet is that the sensor is still tiny and the biggest improvement is going to be the dedicated exposure compensation dial. I could be wrong, however.
Canon EOS 50D and a new lens (via) 2008-08-26 12:51PM
Canon ups the number of megapixels and the maximum ISO on their two-digit digital SLR series and makes a 18-200 superzoom competitor to the Nikon superzoom. And still no 5D replacement?
How to outshine the sun 2008-08-24 06:41PM
The idea of making light that's brighter than the sun is a source of constant amusement whenever I use it. If I wanted to do this sort of stunt with video, we'd be talking the sort of lighting gear that they used in the days of Technicolor that left actors and actresses complaining about eye damage from the bright lights...
