Next to pop-up books I like cut-out books… you know, the ones that have little holes cut into their covers and end pages. Oh and I don’t mind if the price is attractive as well. Like this one! This compact book is 19cm square; too large for the back pocket but just right for a [...]
As DSLRs do not seem to be shrinking in size there still seems to be room in the kit bag — or pocket! — for a highly featured compact that can handle much of the shooting you need. And besides, could you really afford a 14x zoom for a DSLR? Canon’s PowerShot SX230 HS is [...]
I approached this book with a little scepticism: it looked like another coffee table book, large format, stacked with beautifully rendered photographs of exotic landscapes and little else. But then I skimmed David Noton’s introduction and gathered that he feels digital cameras have opened a whole new world of photographic opportunities “that would not have [...]
I make no apologies for reviewing this humble compact digicam – the Nikon Coolpix S9100 – in amongst the heavy hitting DSLRs and maxi-zoom models. Why? ‘Cos it has a few features the DSLRs do not have. Nikon Coolpix S9100 Features To begin with it has a moderate 18x zoom, starting at a wide 35 [...]
If you’re passionate for a mirrorless, interchangeable lens digicam, this Micro Four Thirds model may be your opportunity. World’s smallest and lightest Digital Interchangeable Lens System Camera? Panasonic thinks so. The review camera was supplied with a 14mm near-pancake lens and an 8mm fisheye. Neither of these lenses have an optical image stabiliser (OIS); however, [...]
Author Jim Zuckerman has been teaching photography “for a long time”, critiqued the work of thousands and mulled over the steps photographers can take “to produce images with artistry.” This book is a compilation of 15 steps Zuckerman feels necessary to take great pictures: Finding a Great Subject; Infuse Graphic Design; Use Color for Impact; [...]
So why would you consider a simple point–and-shoot digicam? Like this one. A few reasons: the FX700 has a 5x Leica zoom with a 35 SLR equivalent wide end of 24mm; an excellent pressure-sensitive touch control system; Full HD video shooting; high burst rate; and more … Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX700 Features The 14.1 megapixel capture [...]
These days it’s hard to tell the entry level cameras apart from the fully geared up models. The Canon Rebel T3 (EOS 1100D) sits between the EOS 1000D and EOS 550D models, looking and feeling like any Canon DSLR, from the lofty 5D Mark II all the way down. To suss out its personality you [...]
This book hit me fairly between the eyes and ears. Basically it is one of the best video instructionals I have ever read. Co-author Rob Sheppard has an enviable history of writing about still photography while his writing partner Michael Guncheon has well-established credits in video production and writing, mostly in editing. However, the pair [...]
Normally, books on wildlife photography are packed with sumptuous, ultra close shots of wild life, going about their natural business, unaware of a photographer only metres away. This book has that, but takes the story further by tipping in wild, wild shots of the natural environment, icebergs, cascading rivers, caves, deserts and more. Author Hopkins [...]
