  • Canon EOS 10D assembly video

    This is quite beautiful: a video sequence made out of the CAD simulation of assembling/disassembling a digital Single Lens reflex camera, the Canon EOS 10D. You thought about opening the guts of your own camera. This is no longer needed. Just let the mechanical parts dazzle you by their dancing motions. Link to YouTube Designed…

  • New look for YLovePhoto

    Here it is! I shifted into high gear in terms of user interface and web site look. After the first few months of operation, it became more and more important to make the site really very usable and as comfortable as possible. A few days of calm allowed me to develop and test a new…

  • Pentax K2000 in Bling-Bling edition

    Pentax got a new idea to sell its entry-level SLR camera, Pentax K2000, to more people. They decided to make it… different. Two special editions are available now.

  • Nikon D3x vs Sony Alpha 900 (ISO 50-ISO 6400)

    Master Chong presents a direct comparison of these two recent cameras, with 100% cropped images. dPhotoExpert makes something similar, but much simpler, with a single comparison at 1600 ISO. Unfortunately, there is no information about which software/firmware version is used (I expect that the results may change with future upgrades).
