Saturday, October 27th, 2007

October 25, 2007: Popular Photography magazine has released its 2007 “POP” Awards.
The staff there is very democratic…I think there’s one camera from just about every manu-facturer…let’s see…Canon, FujiFilm, HP, Kodak, Nikon, Olympus, Panasonic, Pentax, Ricoh Caplio, Samsung, Sony…who have they missed?  Sigma, I guess, but they have a lens on the list, so they [...]

What I Saw at PhotoPlus Expo

Wednesday, October 24th, 2007

October 23, 2007: It started at Photoplus Expo (PPE) as a tickle in the back of my throat and the occasional cold chill. By today, I’ve spent half the day in bed and just want to mainline some Nyquil. So, sorry for not blogging earlier about all the cool stuff I saw at PPE, [...]

Wednesday, October 17th, 2007

October 16, 2007: Listener Eric clued me in to the new Olympus E-3 DSLR, their semi-pro entry into an already crowded marketplace. Imaging-Resource has been using a prototype model and it sounds like they really like it. This is from their analysis:
The Olympus E-3 is by far the most advanced Olympus digital camera I’ve used, [...]

Anyone Own a Hotel In NYC?

Sunday, October 14th, 2007

October 13, 2007: As I’ve talked about on the show, I leave this week for PhotoPlus Expo in New York City.  I was all set to stay with family…but those plans fell through.
Anyone want to guess how much a hotel costs in the city at this late date?  Most are over $500/night. Yikes!
So, you never [...]

Bamboo Fun Gets Great Review

Sunday, October 7th, 2007

October 6, 2007: On our last show, #69, we interviewed Michael Marcum of Wacom about their newest tablet - the Bamboo Fun!

Did You Get the Wrong File for Show #58

Friday, September 21st, 2007

September 20, 2007: In what was hopefully the last rainfall to descend from the storm cloud that’s been hovering over my head for the past week (and if you listen to the REAL episode 68, you’ll hear what I mean) some people got episode 58 downloaded instead of 68. 
The problem has been fixed, so if [...]

Adobe Support for Canon 40D Will Not Be Delayed

Wednesday, September 12th, 2007

September 11, 2007: A listener recently left a comment on this page that he was concerned about rumors on the internets (those darn tubes!) that, because of some tiff with Canon, Adobe would be delaying it’s support of the Canon 40D.
It’s funny - feuds between companies are pretty rare (NBC and Apple not included) but [...]
