Review of the Canon 400D

The Canon 400D is only out a couple of weeks (if even that) and there is already a review here at Camera Labs.com. [via PhotoBlog] And while reading photoblog, i found this post about a Canon 3d, which is all rumors. not sure if its real, but looks nice. Cross between a 5D and a 1D by the looks of things!

RAW vs JPEG

check out this post on digital photography school about RAW v JPEG. Very interesting read. i made a decision a while after i got my 350d to shoot only in RAW. to tell you the truth, i cant remember why, but its a very handy thing to have. interesting read!

Canon 400D is real!

Well, it looks like the 400D is the real thing. 10Mp camera, non full frame (like mentioned yesterday), but still very cool. still not sure if its something i would upgrade to from my 350D, but its nice...

new logos, what do you think

Since some of this site will be using Web2.0 features, and for the laugh also, i am thinking of using the following logos around the site. these will be over laid on the current images (of me in the mirror). Any thoughs? i havent done the overlay stuff just yet, because i dont want to spend time on that and find out it looks crap! :)

So, here is the front page logo (click to see the full version):

and here is the one for the blog (again, click for full text):

these where made with this site.

Fujifilm S3 Pro UVIR DSLR can see in the dark?

Ok, this is a strange one. Fujifilm has announced a new S3 Pro camera: the S3 Pro UVIR DSLR. from what i can gather, it can take photos at night using either IR or UV. it has a special lens for this, which makes me wonder if you could get one of those “special” lenses for any camera?

Canon 370D appears in China

It seems that the sucessor to my Canon 350D has poped up in China. Its called the 370D, has a 10.1Megapixel sensor, 21 point auto focus, 7FPS rapid fire shooting (not sure for how long, but 7 up from 3 on the 350D is quite good) both CF AND SD support. Not totally sure if this is a real info, or fake, but if its real, its very nice. See the photo below (from Engadget) and see what you think…

Again, not sure the validity of this, so take it with a pinch of salt…

Nikon D80 released

the digital photography blog has some info about the new, just released Nikon D80. Looks interesting. personally, i am a canon man, but this has some nice features, like the 3FPS for 100 frames (33 seconds continuios shooting!) and the SD and SD-HC card format (SD-HC is a new SD format, faster with more storage). not sure about CF support though...

large collection of high speed photos, site update news

check out this collection of high speed photos. some very cool stuff in there. and in site update news, i am currently working on some cool things for the site. first is a new photo galery. i have been slaving over a semi cold keyboard and a hot cup of coffee for the last few weeks working on this, and hope to have a demo soon. there are other things too, like moving the blog to a different system (currently using blogger) but i am thinking of writing my own engine, and importing all my old posts. thats the most important thing. more stuff soon, but just to get that out there.

color photos from the world war 1 era

check out this "Damn Instesting" article about a photography who, in 1909 was taking color photos.

Color film was non-existent in 1909 Russia, yet in that year a photographer named Sergei Mikhailovich Prokudin-Gorskii embarked on a photographic survey of his homeland and captured hundreds of photos in full, vivid color. His photographic plates were black and white, but he had developed an ingenious photographic technique which allowed him to use them to produce accurate color images.
Some very cool looking photos, pity they arent bigger though...
