I recall making a review of the earlier ‘Joy of DP’ back in July 2007, describing is as “more about the art, not the nuts and bolts,” and recommending it as “Ideal for the less techy.” The New Joy continues on the same path, presented as a handsome 28x22cm book with author Wignall’s message that [...]
Author of Digital Photography Crash Course Jeff Wignall describes his book as offering “easy to apply two minute tips that will motivate you to improve the images you take… At a pace of about one per page the tips come a’rolling until 100+ tips with accompanying pictures have passed your eyes. It caught me right [...]
There are master classes in everything: from cooking the perfect soufflé to constructing a brick wall. So why not one in outdoor photography? Ten years ago author Niall Benvie wrote two books on shooting outdoors. He confesses he was relieved after the two years’ labour expended in their creation and, as he says, “retired from [...]
Having survived a recent avalanche of maxi-zoom compact digicams, it comes as something of a relief to engage with this more modest but still well-featured camera. The Nikon Coolpix P7000 wins on a number of points: its moderate dimensions, with a pocketable thickness of about 45mm; another is the 15mm CCD, capturing 10.1 million effective [...]
I have to say there was a lot of murmuring just before this model landed, plus quite a deal of heated expectation. And, on arrival, the Canon EOS 60D didn’t disappoint. Canon EOS 60D Features With a memory card, the lithium ion battery and f3.5/15-85mm review lens tacked on, the final kit weighs 1.3kg, so [...]
I have a long office bench, crammed to the edges with an A3 printer, 35mm film scanner and a flatbed film and document scanner. All of these I’ve bought over a number of years and well before the era of the single unit, multi purpose devices that can scan, print, copy and fax their little [...]
Straight up this camera ticks most of my boxes! A swinging LCD screen IMHO is a must and the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ100 has a beauty: 7.6cm, with a high res count of 460,000 pixels; it rotates 180 degrees horizontally and 270 vertically. The MOS sensor has 14.1 megapixels and maximum image size of 4320×3240 pixels, [...]
They’ve got to be kidding! No…. It’s true. The Canon PowerShot SX30 IS has a 35x zoom lens! Stabilised and with a reasonably fast f2.7 maximum aperture. I had an early preview of this gem a few months before its official release and was stunned at the range of the hyper zoom. Then, more recently, [...]
It hit the doorstep, all blushing pink in colour… Ricoh’s latest entry into the compact stakes – the Ricoh CX4. This pink is a startling colour and, just to set your mind at peace, it’s also available in a more sedate silver or black. Phew! Seemingly a run-of-the-mill digicam, the CX4 has a few tricks [...]
At first the Canon PowerShot S95 seems to be just another point-and-shooter: compact, all black and stylish. Then a quick glance over the specs and external controls leads you to think otherwise. Canon Powershot S95 Features The CCD has 10.0 megapixels; the lens is a fast f2 zoom that has a range from 28-105mm as [...]
