Nikon D50

Friday, April 22nd, 2005

Not exactly news, this, but I thought I’d better at least mention that Nikon has unveiled their latest entry-level DSLR: the D50. It’s got a decently-sized 2inch LCD, near-instant startup time, and lots of automated options for the weekend shooter. It’s also got SD, which I don’t suppose is an issue for the intended audience […]

Nikon being idiotic, Adobe being hilarious

Just from an interface point of view, it was worth an upgrade, but it adds the ability for process multiple raw images, as well as other batch processing […]

Epson P-2000 firmware update

Friday, April 1st, 2005

I’ve been eyeing the Epson P-2000 since it was first mentioned. This firmware update allows RAW files from more cameras, as well as the display of JPEGs from cameras with up to 17.8 megapixel output, meaning it can now deal with files from the Canon EOS-1Ds MkII. Another useful addition is histogram display, all of […]
