New Sigma 50-500mm OS HSM Zoom Lens Availability
The latest, image-stabilized version of Sigma’s popular 50-500mm 10x superzoom lens is now available. The Sigma APO 50-500mm F4.5-6.3 DG OS HSM zoom lens was announced last month at PMA but they didn’t have pricing or availability at the time. I figured that it would be available later in the summer, so this is a […]

Canon has been keeping digital camera Web journalists busy for the past few days. This is the third day this week with Canon EOS 5D Mark II firmware update news.

Last week I put in a rush order with Olympus for their brand new Stylus Tough-8010 waterproof point-and-shoot digital camera. I was in a hurry because I picked up a magazine job shooting a salt-water hot springs in the Utah desert that has tropical fish – including sharks! I wanted to be able to take […]

Last night, Canon announced the release of a much-anticipated firmware update that enhances the video performance of the EOS 5D Mark II digital SLR.

Of all the currently available superzoom / bridge cameras, I think the new Fujifilm FinePix HS10 is the most interesting. It uses a 10-megapixel “BSI” backside-illuminated CMOS sensor for better low light image quality, it captures 1080i HD video, it has a 3-inch tilting LCD display and it’s got a huge, 30-times 24-720mm (equivalent) zoom […]

Acme Made makes camera cases for people who really don’t like camera bags. I mean, they’re padded and made to protect your camera – but they look nothing like the standard black, nylon camera bag. The bowling ball bag in particular is very different – yet still functional. In this video from the 2010 PMA […]

The 2010 PMA photography tradeshow was set at the always-bustling hub of the Anaheim Convention Center in Orange County, California just a stone’s throw away from Disneyland. I’ve been to the Interbike bicycle tradeshow many times before, but never to a photography tradeshow. So, as a photographer I eagerly anticipated the opportunity to ogle all […]

I chose mattbikeboy’s Nikon D300s digital SLR review to be a Featured User Review because he’s a working professional with lots of photography and camera experience and his review provides great detail without getting too long or off-topic. It’s also useful that he compared his D300s to the Nikon D700. Do you own a […]
