Nikon has just updated the Nikon Capture 4.3.1 to version 4.3.2
The new updated software will solve a problem of Nikon capture Editor to quit unexpectedly with some computer systems when when images were adjusted using the Color Boost slider displayed by selecting Better Quality (HQ) in the D-Lighting palette.

Service Advisory to Owner’s of the FinePix S2 Pro Digital Camera
FUJI PHOTO FILM U.S.A., INC. announces that some of the FinePix S2 Pro digital camera models may develop a problem with the CCD imaging sensor. During a certain period in the production process, there was a lack of uniformity in the quality of the CCD. It was determined that this problem may happen due to a combination of CCD quality and usage/storage conditions or age deterioration. However, the problem affects a limited number of units and may not occur in all cameras.
The symptom is captured images that appear completely black, have a purplish cast or multi- colored distortions. The following list of serial numbers may be affected:
Model Serial Number Range:
The first Sony digital camera with touchscreen is added to its Cyber-Shot range. This curvy little charmer is only 22.7mm thin with 8.1 Megapixel resolution, which will enable you to shoot and print jumbo A2-sized pictures without any loss of quality.
Its most attractive feature is the 3.0 inch touchscreen LCD with a Free Spot AutoFocus function that lets you focus on any subject with a precise tap of the touchscreen using the stylus.
Will Ford, a DeviantArt member, has a really good tutorial on how to shoot smoke with your Digital Camera. I haven’t got the time to try it myself, but the tutorial looks good and it’s so easy to understand.
Here are 3 simple steps needed to prepare your shots:
The SP-700 boasts Olympus’s largest LCD to date with its 3 inch (7.6cm) HyperCrystal Sunshine LCD. Combined with 6.0 million pixels and a precision 3x zoom lens (1:3.3-4.0, equivalent to 38-114mm in 35mm format), the SP-700 ensures that users are able to easily capture, view and share their high quality images with friends.
Whether at the pub, on holiday or on a day out, a streamlined metal body makes this lightweight, design-led camera the latest gadget to be seen with.
PCWORLD has just posted their version of the top 10 inkjet printers. The test for each printer was based on price (25%), print quality (20%), features (15%), ease of use (15%), speed (10%), service and support (10%), and cost of consumables (5%).

Steve Hoffmann wrote an interesting article with some sample shots discussing DSLR sensor size and pixel density in Canon 1Ds Mk II, Canon 1D Mk II, Canon 20D:
“The 20D sensor’s higher input resolution (higher pixel density) only helps with telephoto photography when your object is to fill the frame with your subject from as far away as possible. If you can zoom in, walk closer or get a longer focal length lens and fill the frame (same FOV), the 1D Mark II is on equal footing and the 1Ds Mark II’s 16.7 mp resolution will rule.
Pixel density, at least in this comparative series of images, doesn’t seem to have had the expected relational effect on random digital noise and dynamic range. The three cameras did equally well with slightly blown highlight reproduction. Even more confusing, the 20D seems to have edged out both the 1D Mark II and the 1Ds Mark II in producing slightly less dark area noise than either of these cameras. The 1D Mark II with its larger photosites should have been the winner here but turned out to be the worse noise producer.”
Ronan Burke, a wedding photographer, had his hands on the new Canon EOS 5D and Canon EF 24-105mm f/4L IS from his last wedding job and wrote:
“Image quality from the pair: I’m don’t use any form of in-camera sharpening or colour tweaking so I can’t comment on any of these. Opening the image Canon Raw and processing it from there results in excellent images for my purposes. Skins are silky smooth: a quality I like from Canon DSLRs. Images definitely need more sharpening than those straight from the 1Ds. For an A3 print I’d generally sharpen a 1Ds image (using CS2’s smart sharpen) by 100%, Radius 1. To get the same results from the 5D meant using around 150%,1. However there is so little ‘noise’ that I don’t see this as a problem. Exposure latitude seems excellent. The couple in shade and the background sunny didn’t cause any problems: the background is bright but not unnatural. To check my sharpness theory I shot images of a CD box outside with the 1Ds and the 5D, both with an EF50 f1.8 set to F8 (I used CD boxes to see how easy the bar codes are to read). The 1Ds definitly has more detail to start with. I also did the same test at f1.8 to check there was no forward or back focus problem that apparently affected early 10Ds.”
The Littlest Pea Gallery is a brilliant work by Ira Morenberg. It’s so creative, and it’s seriously funny, yet .. it’s so meaningful. You can find a deeper meaning behind the whole story, about the human philosophy of lost and acceptance, which is part of everyday life. Well done Ira!
