DIWA member LetsGoDigital have published their review of the new 8 megapixel Canon EOS 350D / Digital Rebel XT DSLR.
“The Canon EOS 350D overall quality is excellent. Especially the application of the DIGIC II processor gives the camera indeed a surplus-value. This processor is used by Canon on a broad range and it certainly pays off. The Canon 350D’s responses under various circumstances are incredibly impressive. Action, portrait, indoors and outdoors images, snapshots or precise macro images, the Canon EOS 350D is a versatile camera with easy access and captures all these images effortlessly.”

auspiciousdragon.net have published the second part of their review of the 22-megapixel Phase One P25 medium format digital back.
“Would I use a P25 in preference to film if I had one? Yes. I would miss black and white film but I wouldn’t miss colour film for one second. I actually intend to go on using 35mm black and white film for years to come for some uses (primarily street photography and portraiture) but scanning 120 film is such a chore that I would be glad to see the back of it.”

Imaging Resource have posted sample images taken with the new Nikon D70s DSLR camera that was announced a couple of weeks ago.
“Knowing how intense the interest would be (and how fleeting sunshine is here this time of year), I hustled out yesterday to snap a few pics with our eval sample of the new Nikon D70S. We also shot some of our standard test subjects (including the long-suffering Marti), so readers would be able to compare images from the D70S to those from other cameras, under controlled lighting and exposure conditions. The results aren’t too surprising, the D70S’ images are a lot like those from the original D70, although I haven’t yet performed a close analysis.”

PHOTOgraphic Magazine have just posted their review of the Fuji FinePix S3 Pro digital SLR.
“The big news about Fujifilm’s FinePix S3 Pro is that it has two kinds of pixels—shadow and highlight—in its Super CCD SR II sensor. The larger “S” pixels respond to low light recording shadow detail, while the smaller “R” pixels capture highlights. Each set produces six megapixels and since data is added together to produce the final image, Fujifilm’s new math calls this a 12-megapixel camera, but is it? Out here in the real world, the answer is: Who cares? The image files created by the FinePix S3 Pro are big, clean, and flat-out gorgeous.””

The 51st PhotographyBLOG Portfolio has been submitted by Ron Szajerski.
“Ron is a studied film photographer who received a digital camera as a freebie for making a computer purchase and he got hooked on the instant gratification of the digital realm. He is 58 years old, married and retired. This portfolio, his first, is a compilation of macro images taken in his yard. They awakened in him a new interest in photography and started him on a road of discovery as well as a study of reflective and translucent light.”

Lastolite Press Release
Ezy–Viewing Of Your Digital Images, Come Rain or Shine!
Whilst the developments in digital photography have in many cases, made the job of the professional photographer easier, it also poses it’s own challenges. For example, ask any photographer the following questions:
· ‘Do you struggle to view your images on your laptop outdoors?’
· ‘Do the reflections from the sun prevent you from checking whether you have captured the model with their eyes open?’
· ‘Is it raining so hard that you do not dare start up your laptop to see if the photographs are correctly exposed?’
Lastolite Limited is confident that the answer to these questions is ‘yes’ and has designed a revolutionary new product – the Ezyview to provide the solution.

CNET News have a brief but interesting report on the state of the digital camera industry, based on a report by research firm IDC. Apparently the market has already matured, with sales expected to be strong in the next couple of years and then decline in the long term.
“Digital cameras won’t become as ubiquitous as film because manufacturers became obsessed with features instead of the unmet market,” said Chris Chute, digital imaging analyst with IDC. “They were rewarded with market growth, but once they filled that bucket there wasn’t any other bucket to fill.”

PCMagazine have published their review of the new 8 megapixel Canon EOS 350D / Digital Rebel XT DSLR.
“Where we found the Rebel XT to be a leader was in picture quality. In our simulated daylight still-life test photo, we found very little noise at ISO 100 and virtually no fringing. Even as we went up the ISO scale to 800 and 1,600, the slight increase in noise didn’t distract from the quality of the photo; it appeared more like grain than noise. The real strengths of the daylight shot were its vivid color (despite the image being slightly underexposed), excellent detail, and wide dynamic range, which lent the still life a sense of weight.”

Luminous Landscape get very excited about the new Merge to HDR feature in Adobe Photoshop CS2.
“The acronym HDR stands for High Dynamic Range. In Adobe’s implementation within Photoshop CS2 this is accomplished by using a series of photographs which one takes in the same manner as with previous blending techniques, and then using floating point 32 bit (per channel) math, merging these files automatically into one huge high dynamic range image. As we’ll see in a moment with a practical example, this has the potential to allow photographers to create a photograph with 10, 12, or even more stops of dynamic range. But, it is not without its problems, not the least of which is that we as photographers still operate largely in an 8 and 16 bit world.”

DCResource have reviewed the Canon Digital IXUS 50, a 5 megapixel digital camera with stainless steel finish that is Canon’s smallest ever 5.0 Megapixel optical zoom camera. The Canon IXUS 50 features a 3.0x zoom, a large 2.0” LCD screen and high quality VGA video clips at 30fps.
“Overall I liked the Canon PowerShot SD400, though I think the SD500 does a better job in terms of image quality. While most of my SD400 photos were nice, they were a little noisier and softer than I would’ve liked (they really reminded me of the Sony T-series photos for some reason). In addition I had two totally soft (read: awful) photos that needed to be reshot—something I haven’t had to do with any of the other SD series cameras before (maybe it’s just my camera?). I do think, however, that the average point-and-shoot user will be happy with the image quality, as they will be mostly making prints 8 x 10 inches and smaller. Remember that I’m supposed to be picky.”

TrustedReviews have reviewed the new Epson R1800 A3 / 13x19 inch printer. The R1800 is an A3 version of the Epson Stylus Photo R800 that I reviewed last year, featuring the same 8 colour UltraChrome Hi-Gloss inks and 1.5 picoliter droplet size.
“While the design and mechanics of this A3 Epson Stylus Photo R1800 are very similar to an A4 printer you will have to expect to pay more for the longer carriage. In its favour, this is a very versatile printer that can handle anything from postcards up to oversize A3. You can do full-bleed output, print on roll paper or on compatible CD blanks and thanks to its six colours, it produces excellent photographic prints on gloss, watercolour or plain papers.”

Canon Europe collaborates with the RSA to develop waste giant designed to draw attention to the recycling challenge
LONDON, April 29, 2005 – Canon Europe, world leader in imaging technology, and the RSA, Royal Society for the encouragement of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce, today announced the launch of a joint environmental awareness initiative by unveiling the RSA WEEE Man. The waste giant is an imposing seven metre high, three tonne human-like sculpture that will be on display at London’s City Hall on the South Bank.
The RSA WEEE Man has been created to highlight the growing problem of Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) in the UK and across Europe. The waste giant is composed of electronic and electrical waste (including washing machines, TVs, mobile phones and vacuum cleaner tubes) and represents the amount of electrical appliance and electronic waste that an average person in the UK is likely to produce in their lifetime.
