Ikan Elements Starter Fly Kit Review

March 15, 2011 By Eric Reagan

I love stuff that works and is cheap.  While stuff that works is a necessity and stuff that’s cheap is nice, put the two together and you get a real winner in my book. [Read more…]

Camera     Firmware Update

Below you will find this week’s firmware updates.  Hit the manufacturer website links for more details and download instructions for the firmware.

Canon 60D version 1.0.8 – “Fixes a phenomenon in which captured images may become overexposed when using the camera’s built-in flash or an external Speedlite in combination with the lenses listed below…” [Canon Website]

Fuji FinePix F300EXR version 1.01 – “Unstable volume level during movie recording is fixed.” [Fuji Website]

Nikon Coolpix P7000 version 1.1 – “Image recording time at image quality settings that include NRW (RAW) has been reduced. Lens control has been optimized to reduce the frequency with which the “Initializing lens. Cannot focus.” message is displayed. An issue that, in some rare cases, prevented zoom operation has been resolved. An issue that caused the monitor display to exhibit a loss of detail in highlights (blown highlights) when the shutter-release button was pressed halfway with Active D-Lighting enabled has been resolved.” [Nikon Website]
