  • Sony: 2 new SLR cameras

    Just a quick post: Sony is going to bring the oft-announced SLR cameras: Sony Alpha 500 and Sony Alpha 550. But it seems that these relatively small improvements to the mid-range of Sony SLR cameras will be joined soon with two new Full Frame cameras. More details coming soon, right here.

  • Could I get your photo for free?

    This is a question more common than you would think. And this is the worst situation for a pro-photographer: All these people who would want the artwork fro nothing. And would we dare discuss/bargain/complain/negotiate the same way with some other professions? YouTube link

  • Download Canon EOS 450D manual

    Since some people have a hard time finding it, the Canon EOS 450D (aka Canon Rebel XSi) owner’s manual (6.9MB PDF file) is now available for download from the Canon website.

  • Nikon next news conferences

    Without being able to show the exact contents, we can tell that the next news press conferences organized by Nikon will happen on July 30, and August 4. I wouldn’t believe they are ready to predict Lottery results. So, you can figure out what is coming.

  • Video firmware for the Canon EOS 5D MkII

    I usually do not comment about firmware upgrades for photo cameras. What about today? Actually, this firmware is not from Canon. The Magic Lantern firmware has been designed by Trammell Hudson but it is usable on your Canon EOS 5D MkII. I don’t know how he did that. I am sure that it voids your…

  • Canon predictions

    Canon is rather discreet in these times. But 2009 will not end without several important news. What can we expect? Two reflex cameras are about to arrive. A successor to the 50D, the Canon EOS 60D, probably at the end of the year (will it be ready for Christmas? I doubt it). Again, it will…

  • Last minute change to Pentax K-7 sensor?

    According to Amateur Photographer, the image sensor included in the currently available pre-production models of the Pentax K-7 SLR photo camera is NOT the final one. It is unclear whether it is only a minor update to the sensor or a major replacement. But, in any case, it means that there will be quite a…

  • Emma Livingston, abstraction

    Once again, a photographer reaches out and touches my heart with abstraction or near-abstraction: Emma Livingston. Also go and visit her web site to see her more recent tree portraits. Emma Livingston is British, born in Paris and living in Buenos Aires.
