Pentax Optio A10 Review at DPreview

DPreview wrote a review of the Pentax Optio A10 and said: "And yet it does produce very good results - especially at ISO 50 - when you're out walking and are not shooting in a hurry, low contrast detail is excellent and the per-pixel sharpness better than many similar cameras. Some of the features are fun, some even quite useful (especially if you tend to get prints done without post-processing), and it's very nicely put together too. I personally couldn't live with the zoom mechanism, screen, battery life and shutter lag, but I was time and time again impressed by the results themselves when it all came together."          Full Article

Color Editing and Adjustment Tools in Photoshop

Maricon Williams writes, "Colors influence our perception, interaction and even the way we feel. If you are sending the wrong impression with regards to your choose of colors, you can turn to Photoshop since it is the best tool for color correction. How to make the color accurate? It’s easy. To start, open your image or photo in Photoshop. If you have a skilled eye, you can do the correction manually with tools like color balance or channel mixer. Variations immediately show you the different corrections available by selecting varying colors with different tones. By making the photo darker or lighter and comparing it with the original, you can be guided what to choose."          Full Article

Casio Exilim Zoom EX-Z60 Review at Cameras.co.uk

Cameras.co.uk wrote a review of the Casio Exilim Zoom EX-Z60 and said: "Looking at the outdoor photos these are quite pleasing. In terms of sharpness they are not the very best, but the camera is still capable of taking a well focused photo. If you take a look at the first test shot you will notice the tiles on the roof of the building could be clearer. This is an area that causes problems for the majority of cameras and it is only those with the very best lenses that can cope with this. Focusing does tail off slightly towards the edges of each photo, but again I would say you can find many digital cameras that are a lot worse than this one in that respect."         Full Article
