Review of "Waiting for Light" by David Noton
"...The book has been carefully crafted into four major parts, Vision, Environments, Gallery and, finally, Mechanics. I particularly enjoyed the Environments section, which is again sub-divided into Rock, Sand, Ice, and Earth. Each section is interspersed with his photo essays or a diary entry where we gain more insight into his craft. As I’ve said......

Ultra high-speed Compact Flash - do you need it?

DPNow decided to test a UDMA card and a fast non-UDMA card......

How do you appreciate your digital images ....
"I was prompted to write the editorial after a lot of people criticised the quality of the samples based on examination of the images on-screen and at 100% or 1 image pixel to one screen pixel. The cameras in question were two new ten megapixel models from Panasonic, in particular the Lumix DMC-FZ50. I'm certainly in agreement that the camera indus......

Review: SanDisk Extreme IV CompactFlash & Firewire 800 Card Reader
"SanDisk has just shipped us their brand new Extreme IV compact flash memory card and Extreme Firewire 800 card reader. We've not only been putting the supplied Extreme IV card through its paces, but also the card reader, which is a bit of a star performer in its own right. And we have compared Extreme IV compact flash performance with 'earlier' ge......

Conventional Digicam Versus the Hybrids
There has been a lot of talk about conventional digital cameras coming under threat from improving hybrids, like camera phones, PDAs with cameras and camcorders with still photo capability. Indeed, I'm of the firm opinion that some time in the future, perhaps as close as 2-3 years, most new consumer digital cameras will be dual-function still and v......

Photoshop Elements 3 One-on-One Book Review
This is the second Photoshop book by Deke McClelland I have reviewed, the first being Photoshop CS One-on-One, which I rated very highly. Photoshop Elements 3 for Windows One-on-One follows the same formula of a fully illustrated, lesson by lesson, approach that is embodied in a book and bundled CD for PC-based video learning. Photoshop CS One-on-O......

Konica Minolta Maxxum/Dynax 7D First Look
Please bear in mind that although we had use of cameras for several hours, including the use of a wide range of lenses, during the rugby match, there wasn't really enough time to consider the camera in the same way as we would in a 'proper' review. It's possible that some aspects of the camera's operation we note in this article might be changed in......
