Canon Powershot A430 Review at PC Magazine

PC Magazine wrote a review of the Canon Powershot A430 and said: "In our Labs testing, both the simulated daylight and the flash test shots were underexposed by about one f-stop, but the images showed very little noise. In the daylight shots, colors were accurate but could have been a tad more saturated. There was also some fringing in the image. The images just didn't have the vividness or contrast of images taken with the competing HP Photosmart R817, perhaps because of the underexposure."         Full Article

Olympus Evolt E-330 Review at DC Resource

DC Resource wrote a review of the Olympus Evolt E-330 and said: "Photo quality on the E-330 was excellent in my opinion. The camera took properly exposed photos with accurate colors, minimal purple fringing, with the trademark "smooth" (some would say soft) look of a digital SLR. Noise levels were quite low through ISO 400, and you can still get a 8 x 10 print at ISO 800. Above that you'll most likely be doing small prints. I was surprised at how well the E-330 kept up with the D50 and Rebel XT in the noise department, since Olympus' other D-SLRs have a reputation for being noisy at high ISOs."         Full Article

Wide Angle Lens Tips and Techniques

Roman Zolin writes, "One of the most interesting features of wide-angle lens is the capability to stretch perspective. What do I mean by that? I mean that when you look through a wide-angle lens, it seems that the distance between objects has extended. The objects that were not so distant could appear too far away. And the proportion of objects dramatically increases, so the one that close to the camera look enormous, but those, which are father away almost disappear in the distance."          Full Article

Digital Backgrounds in Photoshop for Studio Photography

Fabian Barajas writes, "Most photographers who are serious about improving their portrait taking skills have realized that a beautiful background can greatly enhance their photographs. Muslins are a very popular choice among professionals.

However, they can get very costly at several hundred dollars each. For the professional who is well established, this may not seem too much, but for the hobbyist, this may be a stretch. A less costly alternative is a digital background. With a digital background, one can get the look and feel of a professional looking portrait without the additional cost of muslin."         Full Article

Kodak Easyshare V610 Review at Cnet

CNET wrote a review of the Kodak Easyshare V610 and said: "Overall, the camera tends to either overexpose highlights or underexpose shadows. Noise creeps in even at lower ISO settings. Images shot at ISO 64 are, of course, the cleanest but still show traces of colored specs, especially in darker colors. The camera keeps this under control at ISO 100, but by ISO 200, noise is noticeable and becomes obvious at ISO 400. Images shot at ISO 800 are generally not fit to print."         Full Article

Panasonic Lumix DMC-LS2 Review at Imaging Resource

Imaging Resource wrote a review of the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LS2 and said: "Image quality in daylight situations at low ISOs was surprisingly good. Shots outdoors, particularly with the Macro mode, had nice crisp color, though they were a little soft around the edges. As is noted in our test results, Panasonic tends to engineer its cameras toward the soft side to allow for sharpening in Photoshop. While this is great for the Photoshop user who can really bring out detail in LS2 images with Unsharp Mask, most entry-level consumers either don't have the skills or the time to do that."          Full Article
