Just a heads up for anyone that hasn't updated their computer recently, but in the Release Candidate notes for Camera Raw 8.4 and DNG Converter 8.4 Mac OS 10.6.x (Snow Leopard), Windows XP and Windows Vista will no longer be supported. Since they were released in 2009, 2002 and 2007...

Adobe Photoshop Camera Raw 8.4 Release Candidate is adding support for the D3300.

Tamron also announced a new all-in-one for FX shooters, a 28-300mm F/3.5-6.3 super zoom. The Nikon version gets pretty beat up for optics so it will be interesting to see how this compares. Here is the link to the release.

Tamron announced a 16-300mm macro all-in-one lens for DX today. Holy crap! What an amazing focal range. It will be interesting to see the price point and performance results. Here is the announcement.

Moving to FX, one minor concern was the occasional need for a general use or walk-around lens. When I had my D300, the NIKKOR 18-200 filled this niche nicely. I had read reviews on Fred Miranda and SLR Gear and a discussion on Flickr regarding the AF Zoom-NIKKOR 28-105 f/3.5-4.5 IF. I did a...

I know that backups and file retention have been discussed in various threads, but I thought I'd start a new one. I'm a certified continuity and recovery person and realized that I had become a little lax in my personal practices. I made a New Year's resolution to clean up my act. I hope this...

I'm guessing that someone may have purchased a D800 and realized that it was too much camera for them. If this is you and you would consider parting ways, please drop me a note. If I can find the right deal I may jump to FF.

Very informative description of the low-pass filter and how it may effect your images. Link

I hadn't heard of Silent Sifter before Thom Hogan reviewed it. I was curious and checked out their site. If you have photo and video files scattered around on different hard drives and/or directories on your Mac, this might be an easy way to organize your stuff. (Disclaimer: I have not used this...

Intriguing perspective on why Micro Four Thirds is doomed.

We were in Savannah GA for a long weekend right before Thanksgiving. Since we were primarily there to hang out with friends, I was traveling light. This was also my first opportunity to use my new 10-100mm lens. As a convenient all-in-one lens, I am very pleased. Build quality is exceptional...

Nikon Rumors is reporting a breaking rumor that Nikon is going to shortly announce a full frame mirrorless camera. Supposedly the reason Sony announced the A7 and A7r so quickly and without all of the lenses available was to beat Nikon to market. This might be fantastic news if true!!
