Digital Camera News, Reviews and Tips
Trusted Reviews has posted its review of the Fujifilm FinePix F200 EXR.
The Fuji FinePix F200 EXR is well-made premium compact that represents a major technological breakthrough in terms of sensor design and performance, and a welcome return to form for Fuji’s flagship compact series.

PhotographyBLOG has posted a review of the Casio EX-FC100.
The ability to shoot 30 images in one second at the touch of a button is amazing for any camera, DSLR or compact, and if you can’t choose the best shot, then the EX-FC100 can do that for you too.

DCR has posted a review of the Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS3.
What we see is what’s become the norm for cameras in this resolution class, with acceptably clean (though, under careful analysis, still rather grainy) shots at ISO 80 and 100, a decided escalation in noise between ISO 200 and 400, and extremely compromised fine detail at ISO 800 and beyond.

Trusted Reviews has posted a review of the Nikon Coolpix P90.
The Nikon Coolpix P90 is a superb camera, certainly one of the best super-zoom bridge cameras on the market, with plenty to appeal to the enthusiast while still retaining some ease of use for the novice.
DP Review has posted a review of the Fujifilm Finepix F200 EXR.
You can leave the dial set to EXR, and it’ll do all the thinking for you – producide reliably good images without you having to understand color filter arrays or worry about what’s going on behind the scenes.

Experimental Japan from Dave Lee on Vimeo.
Shot with a Canon 20D, 20mm lens & 50mm lens.
Here’s a cool little stop motion video that reader David Lee sent in. I asked David to tell us a little more about the project:
The idea was to make an animation set in Asia. The “experimental” side appeared after i started piecing the images together. The Donnie Darko rabbit just fell into place during the edit, especially when i put the track in. The rabbit is a house pet in Kyoto, so it was still fitting for the “Asian” subject.
Cnet has posted a review of the Canon PowerShot SX1 IS.
A top megazoom option, the Canon PowerShot SX1 IS offers a 20x zoom lens and HD video, which you can’t get in a similarly priced dSLR, and delivers more features and slightly better performance and photo quality than the cheaper SX10 IS.

Just got an email from the guys at B&H that they have the Canon 5D Mark II back in stock with free shipping!
Better get one while they last – link to B&H Photo Canon 5D Mark II.
Photography Bay reader, Rick, sent in a question that I thought I would pitch to the community here. Essentially, Rick has a couple of Canon AE-1’s that are in need of professional repair. For those of you who cut your teeth in the digital realm, the Canon AE-1 is a film-based, manual focus SLR. They are still quite widely available in decent used condition.
Does anyone have a recommendation for where he can send these camera’s for some affordable repair work at a reputable shop?
