Initial Review Posted for the Leica C-Lux 1

Leica C-Lux 1 News Release Excerpt:
Another feature contributing to successful photography is the integrated image stabilizer (O.I.S) which can be switched on either for the photograph only or for both the photograph and the display image. The image stabilization feature effectively prevents blurred photos whatever the photographic situation by consistently compensating for small hand movements. This and the high-sensitivity mode with up to ISO 1600 ensure that pictures are always sharply defined — whether in twilight, indoors or in the zoom range.          Full Article

Canon EOS 30D Review Posted by DPreview

DPreview wrote a review of the Canon EOS 30D and said: "We have to consider every camera as a whole, the sum of its parts. Compare it to the competition and it's clear that the 30D really can hold its own. The primary competition coming from Nikon's excellent D200, a camera which in many ways betters the EOS 30D, user interface, features and flexibility are all a step up."    Full Article

Canon EOS 5D Review at Imaging Resource

Imaging Resource posted a review of the Canon EOS 5D and said: "The EOS 5D's images show really excellent definition in the fine details. Some edge enhancement is visible along sharp, strongly contrasting images, but it's relatively innocuous, is largely invisible and doesn't seem to lead to loss of significant detail. (Edge enhancement creates the illusion of sharpness by enhancing colors and tones right at the edge of a rapid transition in color or tone.)"        Full Article

Nikon Coolpix L3 Review by Steve's Digicams

Steve's Digicams wrote a review of the Nikon Coolpix L3 and said: "The overall image quality of its 5-megapixel Fine mode was very good. Our outdoor samples were sharp, well exposed and had pleasing color saturation. The exposure system did a great job of capturing sky detail, which will make your outdoor landscape shots look awesome. Like we saw on the L1 from last year, ISO sensitivity is fully automatic; there's no manual adjustment available. I saw very little noise when the camera was using a lower ISO setting, but as with most consumer models, these levels will become more noticeable as the sensitivity is increased."         Full Article

Olympus Stylus 710 Review at PC Magazine

PC Magazine wrote a review of the Olympus Stylus 710 and said: "Resolution averaged 1,675 lines, which is great for a 7.1MP camera. Bootup time is a decent 2.8 seconds, but that is a lot slower than the SD550's 1.6 seconds. The 3.7-second recycle time is slow for an ultracompact, and nowhere near as fast as the SD550's 2.5 seconds. I found no pincushion distortion, and just a touch of the usual barrel distortion. Unfortunately, there is noticeable shutter lag."          Full Article

New Photoshop Tutorial - Water Motion Blur Effect

This tutorial is to help you learn how to make a water motion blur (slow shutter speed) effect on a photo that had a fast shutter speed. Normally you would need a tripod to make this effect when taking the picture, but with this technique you can simply add the motion blur effect later. For different photos, you will probably have to change the angle of the blur, and perhaps adjust the intensity of the motion blur. But with this technique you do not have to be a professional photographer to create water motion shutter speed effects.         Full Tutorial
