 |  Pentax K-30 dSLR Review  For 2012, PENTAX has added a new mid-level dSLR to their popular K-series; the K-30. While I wouldn't recommend taking one of these underwater, the K-30 has been designed with over 80 weather-resistant body seals to make the camera hold up in wet, dusty, and sub-freezing conditions. All of which will protect the inside of the camera and its 16-megapixel APS-C sized CMOS image sensor that, when paired with the PENTAX PRIME M engine, allows for full 1080p HD video recording at up to 30 frames per second as well as full resolution 6 frames-per-second high-speed burst shooting. Despite all the advanced controls and customization (such as the RAW/Fx multi-function button which can be programed to bring up various functions or swap recording formats), the K-30 is an ideal camera for novices looking to jump up to a dSLR. A state-of-the-art SAFOX IXi+ AF (AutoFocus) sensor module grabs the sharpest focus in any condition, while there are also Auto Picture modes to help you find the best settings for your present conditions, 19 Creative Scene Modes, and 19 Creative Digital Filters. All of which can be combined to create bold and unique and fun photos... Continue Reading |

Camera Found and Returned to Owner After Sitting in a Creek for Three Years John Noerr was out hiking in the Adirondacks last month and stumbled upon a Canon XT, just sitting in a muddy creek. He pulled the camera out and took it home with him, hoping to find out who it belonged to. Remarkably, the memory card that was inside - a 2GB SanDisk Ultra II CF - was still functional.

The world watched anxiously in anticipation of the Curiosity landing on Mars this morning, staying up long past their bed times last night, hopeful, yet cautious that we could actually pull of the most difficult landing attempt in the history of space travel. Curiosity represents a 2.5 Billion Dollar effort to put a new roving laboratory on Mars, with the best technology that money can buy, in order to learn more about our closest planetary neighbor and uncover it's secrets; starting with exploration of a crater that scientists think may have evidence of the building blocks needed to have once supported life. Launched from Cape Canaveral, Florida on November 26 (2012), Curiosity (which is a rover designed to be roving laboratory with an incredibly sophisticated array of sensors, cameras and much more) had to travel over 352 Million Miles before finally entering the Atmosphere of Mars this morning; traveling at over 17 times the speed of sound...Continue Reading | |
