Eye-Fi WiFi-enabled SD card finally shipping (Digital Photography News)
October 31, 2007 by Kameraderie · Leave a Comment
It’s taken well over a year for Eye-Fi to bring its self-titled wireless SD card to market, but on the plus side, that Benjamin now gets you 2GB of storage — a welcome boost for a rumored capacity that had dipped as low as 512MB. In case the past 18 months have made the details a little fuzzy, this 802.11g card requires a one-time setup on your PC before it’s ready to automatically upload full resolution pics to one of 17 websites each time you turn on your camera. Even better, a backup copy is also sent to your PC, ensuring that your photos are safely archived when your favorite social network folds.

October 29, 2007 by Kameraderie · Leave a Comment
, Tips and Tricks
With the 4th of July (and Bastille Day, and a whole host of other regional excuses to set off large explosions in the Midsummer sky) in the offing, John Watson has a short tutorial on shooting fireworks. there are thousands of tutorials on this subject out there, but he boils it down to the essentials: use a reasonably slow ISO setting (100-200); don’t forget the tripod; exposure = length of trail; aperture = brightness of trail.
Working out the timing so that the starburst is centered wherever you’ve aimed the tripod is left as an exercise for the reader.

, hasn’t changed much since its predecessor, the S770.

Like the first Stylus, the Olympus Stylus 790 SW is capable of capturing very good snapshots and memory photos with little effort on the part of the photographer. If that s not enough, the diminutive 790SW is built like a tank and can be taken along on active outdoor adventures (like back country hiking, rock climbing, off-road biking, snorkeling, skiing, kayaking, canoeing, windsurfing, hang gliding, and white water rafting) that would oblige most users to leave the digital camera at home. How well does the Olympus Stylus 790 SW balance tiny size and toughness with an acceptable level of performance? Read on to find out.

Fujifilm’s FinePix F50fd point-and-shoot reviewed (Digital Photography News)
October 26, 2007 by Kameraderie · Leave a Comment
Unfortunately, everybody’s worst fear about the FinePix F50fd seems to be true — according to a recent review over at PhotographyBLOG, anyway. Apparently, stuffing a 12-megapixel sensor into this pocket-friendly digicam wasn’t exactly the most intelligent idea, as reviewers found the picture quality to be downright disappointing. Particularly in low-light situations, the camera faltered mightily, and images captured at ISO speeds of 800 - 6,400 were deemed practically “unusable.” Granted, the crew did note that it was expecting tremendous results from the highly-regarded F31fd’s successor, but aside from the “excellent face detection system” and the included aperture / shutter priority modes, there just wasn’t much here to fall in love with. ‘Tis a shame, really, and unless pristine image quality somehow isn’t your top priority (is that crickets we hear?), you’ll probably need to look elsewhere.
