Rumors of RED Competition for D90

September 1, 2008 By Thursday Bram

RED, the company known for its ‘future-proof’ camcorders, will be adding a DSLR line, according to comments made by Jim Jannard on the company’s forums.

Jannard’s comments focused on RED’s next generation Mysterium “Monstro” sensor. Monstro will be offered as a free upgrade to the Mysterium-X piece shipping in Epic, but is also slated for a new DSLR camera. Further hints seem to indicate that RED’s new DSLR is meant to compete with the Nikon D90 — it seems likely that the camera will shoot both stills and motion.

At a guess, a RED DSLR would at least have adapters for Nikon and Canon lenses, but we’ll have to wait and see.

Lensbaby 2.0 and 3G Review

September 1, 2008 By Eric Reagan


The Lensbaby 2.0 and 3G are selective focus SLR lenses, which have a flexible “lens barrel” to give you that smooth out of focus effect in portions of your images.  Basically, you bend, push and pull the lens to move the “Sweet Spot” where you want it and blur the remaining areas of the image.

Site Update

August 31, 2008 By Eric Reagan

Photography Bay just refreshed its design in favor of what I think is a cleaner and better design.  If you’re reading this post by RSS or email delivery, click on through and see what it looks like.

We’re still working out all the gremlins of the code, so please let us know in the comments below of anything that looks out of place or broken.  I don’t think there’s anything major still around, but I’ve already noticed a couple minor issues, and if it appears to be too difficult to modify on the site live, we may go back to the previous design for a bit until we get things sorted out.

[Update: If you are using Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0, there are a number of bugs that you will encounter and this site cannot be used to its full capabilities.  I am trying to fix some of these bugs, but I doubt that I’ll get to all of them. IE 6 was introduced in 2001 – it’s really time for a new browser.

At the very least, I recommend that you upgrade to Internet Explorer 7.  If you are interested in the best web browsing experience, I recommend going with Firefox.  You can view the download links and learn more about better browsing options at SaveTheDevelopers.org. ]

[Update #2: We are experiencing some problems with comments generally and instances where comments are being directed to the wrong posts.  We are working on a solution. Fixed.]

Additionally, I’d be interested to hear what you think about the new design.  Drop your comments and derogatory remarks in the comments.

Finally, I thought I’d let you know that a new feature is coming the Photography Bay soon (hopefully in the next day or two), so stay tuned.

Fuji FinePix S1000fd Review at Steve’s Digicams

August 30, 2008 By Eric Reagan

Steve’s Digicams has posted a review of the Fuji FinePix S1000fd.

While the feature list makes this seem like a very appealing model, the below average shooting performance, horrible High ISO image noise, and just “average” 10-megapixel image quality results lower its appeal.

Fujifilm FinePix S100FS Review at Steve’s Digicams

August 30, 2008 By Eric Reagan


Steve’s Digicams has posted a review of the Fujifilm FinePix S100FS.

FujiFilm has delivered a well rounded Prosumer model. With powerful features like the manually operated 14.3x FUJINON zoom lens, 11-megapixel image sensor, Dual IS, 2.5-inch Tiltable LCD, over 3fps burst capture at full resolution (during our tests), CCD-RAW capture mode, and loads of exposure options, the S100FS is a versatile digital camera.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5 Review at Trusted Reviews

August 30, 2008 By Eric Reagan

Trusted Reviews has posted its review of the 9.1 megapixel Panasonic DMC-TZ5.

It is a well designed and solidly made camera which is tough enough to survive quite a bit of rough treatment. It handles superbly, performs exceptionally well and is a genuine pleasure to use.

Snapture Improves iPhone Photography

August 29, 2008 By Thursday Bram

iPhone application Snapture may be limited to jailbroken iPhones, but if you’re willing to go to that effort, it can make some major improvements to your iPhone’s photographic abilities.

Features such geotagging and a delay timer give an iPhone the functions necessary to at lease match a point-and-shoot camera. But Snapture goes so far as to provide photographers with a little basic editing capability on the go. While few professional photographers are going to change over to the iPhone as a main camera, Snapture does extend its abilities enough to make it a useful tool for an amateur photographer.
