Wednesday, September 07, 2011One of the best reasons to have an eReaderTony Donaldson | 09/07- 06:45 PMIf you’ve ever taken manuals for your cameras, speedlights, etc. into the field for reference, here’s a compelling reason to have an eReader like a Kindle or a tablet like an iPad.
I carry some of my owners manuals with me. Depending on the gear I’m carrying, the complexity, etc., I usually have a few with me. As much of a tech geek as I am, I’m still a little old school about some things. Speedlights, for example, have features I rarely use, and the menus can be difficult, and some of the symbols aren’t as descriptive as they could be, so the manual can be handy. more »Friday, May 20, 2011Sigma Announces Huge Price and Availability of 46MP SD1 CameraDan Carr | 05/20- 09:33 AMNew Foveon Sensor DSLR Ships in June for $9,700 !!!

Nikon Launches The 36MP D800
Nikon has unveiled the new D800 today which features a 36MP full frame sensor along with all of the video function improvements we saw on the D4. In an interesting twist, Nikon will also be offering a D800E which is identical except for the omission of the anti-aliasing filter. This should provide increased sharpness in that variation, but at the expense of possible aliasing on patterned subjects. With the enormous processing power needed to deal with a 36MP image it comes as no surprise that the D800 is capable of a lower fps burst than it’s predecessor. 4fps in FX mode and 6fps in DX mode. It’s somewhat puzzling to see that they have also opted to go for two different flash card mediums and notably excluded the XQD format that was introduced in the D4.
Canon Launches Three New Lenses
New 24-70 L II and first wide angle primes with IS
The long awaited replacement to the Canon 24-70 f2.8 L workhorse has finally been unveiled alongside two unique new prime lenses. The new Canon 24-70 f2.8 L II is 10mm shorter than it’s predecessor as well as 150g lighter which will make a lot of people happy until they hear the suggested price of $2300! Canon also launched two new primes which are the first wide angle primes in the world to feature Image Stabilization. A 24mm f2.8 IS and a 28mm f2.8 IS. Both lenses appear to be very compact and will likely offer usable low shutter speeds which previously were only possible with a much larger aperture wide angle lens like a 24mm f1.4, but for half the size and half the cost.
