Canon PowerShot SX500 IS Review

Samsung NX1000 Review

The SX500 IS is an affordable, sub-$350 camera with a whopping 30x optical zoom (that covers 24-720mm in 35mm terms), a 16-megapixel image sensor capable of recording HD video, a 3.0-inch LCD display, and the powerful DIGIC 4 image processor. To handle the long zoom and keep your photos crisp and clear, Canon has included an upgraded AutoFocus system, Intelligent Image Stabilization, and Zoom Framing Assist -- a Canon technology which allows you to quickly zoom all the way out to a wide angle to relocate subjects after they've left your framing. Canon says this is particularly helpful when shooting animals or moving subjects, as in Zoom Framing Assist, lens retraction and extension are quicker than pressing the zoom buttons....

Steve's Photo of the Day Winner
February 8th Winner: Autumn's World...
by Tom Bower (Nikon D3s)

"This started life as a five-exposure HDR on a fairly bright afternoon.
I then got the idea to take the photo into the realm of the surreal.
The B&W conversion and selective color were done using NIK Silver Efex Pro."

FujiFilm Introduces Five New Finepix Cameras

Olympus Announces the XZ-10 iHS

Olympus has just added their third "XZ" labeled model, with the introduction of the all new XZ-10 iHS. While sharing a similar look and feature set to past models (the XZ-1 and XZ-2 ), the XZ-10 is much smaller; approx. 40% smaller according to Olympus. They've sacrificed one key feature that we loved about the XZ line to accommodate this reduction in size, with the XZ-10 using a smaller 1/2.3" image sensor; versus the larger 1/1/7" unit used on the XZ-2. However, it adds a longer zoom lens and their newer iHS technology. To learn more about this new compact powerhouse... Continue Reading

Did You Know: Lighting Ratios

A common way to describe both quantity and quality of light is the lighting ratio. It indicates the amount of light (in stops) that illuminates the highlights compared with the shadows. The first number in the ratio refers to the key or mainlight; the second to the shadows or fill light. The closer the two numbers are to each other (e.g., 1:1), the flatter the overall lighting. The more they vary (e.g., 4:1), the higher the overall contrast.

Lighting ratios can help you retain detail. If your camera’s sensor can capture a 6-stop range of highlight-to-shadow detail, and your scene has a lighting ratio of 7:1, you must drop light levels in the highlights or add light to the shadows until you reach a 6:1 ratio. Ratios can be determined with in-camera spotmeters, but handheld flash meters can be easier.
