Digital Camera News, Reviews and Tips
PhotographyBLOG has posted a review of the Casio EXILIM Pro EX-FH20.
Photographically speaking, there’s nothing that exceptional about the Casio. However if you’re a YouTube junkie and as keen on video as you are shooting stills, and being able to capture slow motion footage as well as widescreen vistas floats your boat, then the Casio EXILIM Pro EX-FH20 is worth further investigation.
David Ziser over at Digital Pro Talk has a nice hands-on account of 8 hours with the Canon 5D Mark II.
I can’t wait to permanently get my hands on this baby. The phenomenally high ISO capabilities promise some unbelievable benefits especially to us event shooters.

DIY Photography has launched a new photo project with some nice camera/lens rental prizes. It involves (1) finding a partner, (2) exchanging camera gear for a short time and (3) writing a short review of that new (to you) gear. Pretty cool if you ask me.
Oh, and the prizes… How about a free 2 week rental of the body/lens combo of your choosing from BorrowLenses.com?
Head on over to DIY Photography to get the full scoop on the “Sharing and Learning” contest and figure out how to get your hands on your dream camera and/or lens for a 2 week test drive.
Let’s Go Digital has published a review of the Nikon D90.
The image quality is steady as a rock. Excellent color reproduction and superb dynamic range combined with Nikon’s 3D Matrix metering ensure an outstanding DSLR.

Cnet has posted a review of the Panasonic Lumix DMC-G1.
The Panasonic Lumix DMC-G1 is a camera that people will either love for its speed, photo quality, and interchangeable-lens flexibility or hate for its large-ish size, electronic viewfinder, and occasionally frustrating design.

Imaging Resource has published a review of the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T700.
“Wow!” was my first reaction as I unboxed the T700. Its brushed aluminum front panel is just beautiful, and contrasts well with the black plastic bezel framing the 16:9 LCD that consumes its back panel.
Canon Digital Photo Pro v3.5.1 is available for download and includes support for Canon 5D Mark II RAW files.

Below are a couple of camera deals going on at B&H Photo right now. B&H is a trustworthy online retailer who won’t try to scam you or offer you a bait and switch deal like some other “too good to be true” retailers out there. [Read more…]
I noticed that Canon put up the retail prices for the Canon 5D Mark II accessories. Holy smokes! I had to double check to make sure I wasn’t on the Canon Australia website. Sure enough though, it’s US dollars.
Check these out:
I’m a big fan of battery grips, but come on . . . $380!?! Granted these are retail prices, but these are still off the charts for retail.
I suppose Canon is making the most out of that attractive price point for the 5D Mark II body. Well, maybe we’re just a couple days or so away from when you can put all these fancy accessories on your new 5D Mark II.
Who’s going to get in line for these accessories? Which ones are must-haves?
Keep’em coming folks. You’ve got a week to go until Fall photo contest is over and it’s in the hands of the judges. Do what you can get your shot at the prizes between now and then.
