Ever wanted to take photos that are completely free of noise? Guillermo Luijk has published an intriguing article explaining how to do just that, with some seriously impressive example shots.
“The idea is to develop a simple method compatible with the regular shooting technique, to completely eliminate noise from our shots even in the deepest shadows. In this way we will recover all textures that noise made unusable and at the same time we will expand the effective dynamic range of our camera in the low light end.”

The average European desires a more rural and peaceful lifestyle, according to a psychological report by Canon. The report analysed over 13,000 images taken by members of the European public to celebrate their national identity. ”The emphasis on the beauty of nature suggest that an ever increasing number of Europeans yearn for a simpler, rural lifestyle, perhaps as enjoyed by their parents or grandparents.” explained psychologist Dr David Lewis.

CameraLabs have reviewed the Panasonic DMC-FX30, the world’s slimmest digital camera with a 28mm wide-angle lens.
“The important thing to remember though is this noise is only a serious problem if you’re examining images on-screen at 100%, or making big prints. If you prefer to view your entire images at once or make smaller prints, then it becomes much less of an issue. And to be fair this is a problem which also faces most compacts these days, so while Panasonic’s models suffer in this respect, they’re certainly not alone.”

Wrotniak.net have reviewed the Olympus E-510 DSLR camera, which features a built-in image stabiliser in the camera body. The E510 also has a new image processing engine that offers excellent noise performance and 3fps with a seven image RAW buffer in burst mode.
“The colors are vibrant, tonal transitions smooth and detailed. The kit lenses work much better than their size or price would indicate. The biggest shock comes, however, when you disable the in-camera dynamic noise filtering: the gain in sharpness reveals a quite incredible amount of detail (and the lenses are capable of filling it in).”

ePhotoZine have reviewed the Panasonic Lumix FX100, a 12.2 megapixel digital camera with a new 1/1.72-inch large CCD and 28mm wide-angle lens.
“With a massive 12Mp resolution, noise issues were always going to be a concern and sure enough, there’s visible noise at ISO80. However, it isn’t enough to worry about, and nor is the visible coloured mottling at ISO100 either. It does however get worse at ISO200 and is visibly patchy in the grey card area. At ISO400 the noise becomes more sharply defined with patterns appearing and the image now starts to get softer as well.”

General Imaging caused quite a stir back at the PMA show in March when they unveiled a completely new range of digital cameras, to be sold under the venerable General Electric (GE) brand name. Nearly 6 months on cameras are finally shipping, and today we take a look at the mid-range GE E850 model. This camera has an amazing specification given its budget price tag. An 8 megapixel sensor, a 28mm wide, 5x optical zoom lens, large 3 inch LCD screen, Face Detection mode and a stylish design should be enough to make most people sit up and take notice of the GE E850. But as we all know, what looks good on paper can prove to be terrible in practice, so does the E850 deliver on its promise? Mark Goldstein subjected the GE E850 to a few weeks of in-depth testing to find out..

PrinterInfo have reviewed the pigment based Canon PIXMA Pro 9500 A3+ professional printer.
“The Pro9500 scored very well, achieving a dmax of 2.36, the third highest dmax value we’ve seen so far. This value was achieved using Canon’s Photo Paper Plus, semi-gloss surface. The Pro9500 scored higher in this category than the Epson Stylus Photo R2400, which only achieved a dmax value of 2.26. The Pro9500’s dye-ink equivalent by Canon, the Pro9000, scored just below the Epson, at 2.25.”

CNET have reviewed the Nikon Coolpix S200 digital camera, which offers 7.1 megapixels, 3x zoom lens (38-114mm), electronic Vibration Reduction to help combat camera shake, ISO 1000 and a 2.5 inch LCD screen.
“The Nikon Coolpix S200 suffers from a bad case of style over substance. Its ultraslim, attractive metal body looks great sliding into your pocket. When you slide it out of your pocket and start shooting, though, its image-quality issues and slow low-light performance severely tarnish the pretty camera’s shine.”

DigitalCameraInfo have reviewed the Canon PowerShot SD750 digital camera (also known as the IXUS 75) which has a metallic finish, 3x zoom lens and 3 inch LCD screen.
“The Canon PowerShot SD750 distinguishes itself mainly with its LCD screen size. At 3 inches, there still aren’t too many digital cameras that can rival that. However, its other specs are all has-beens: 7 megapixels, 3x optical zoom, Automatic modes, and compact form. The SD750 costs a whopping $349, which seems steep compared to similar models.”

DCResource have reviewed the Nikon Coolpix L12, a 7.1 megapixel digital camera with a 3x optical zoom lens (35-105mm), Vibration Reduction to combat camera shake, Face-priority AF, D-Lighting and Red-Eye Fix, and a 2.5 inch LCD monitor.
“The Nikon Coolpix L12 is one of a very select group of entry-level cameras to offer image stabilization for under $200. Its closest competitor is probably the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LS75 which, up until recently, I didn’t even think they sold in the U.S. The Coolpix L12 is a decent camera if you’re doing mostly outdoor, bright light photography. If you’ll be doing a lot of low light shooting, or want to minimize noise, then I’d steer clear of the Coolpix L12.”
