At $700, the Tamron 70-200 ƒ/2.8 is bound to be at least somewhat inferior to its much more expensive counterparts from Canon, Nikon, Sony, and Pentax, but luckily, in a review at SLRgear.com, the majority of that compromise will come in build quality, and less so from the all important IQ:
Sharpness results meet and even [...]

First, Happy New Year.
Second happy birthday to us, we’re now 1 year old here at Neutralday.com. (blowing out of candle…)
Third, the surprising poll results above. Yes, that is the Nikon D700 winning by a hair.
Finally, if you’re just sitting around today, you might want to think about:
Processing some of those Christmas photos

How much of a real world difference does 24 megapixels make over 12 megapixels? For the curious, a somewhat extensive comparison has been done here at www.fotographie.fr.

Michael Reichmann at Luminous Landscape posts his update to the Sony A900, and it’s an interesting read in part because in the article the A900:
doesn’t have Live View (and Reichmann misses it)
doesn’t match the 5D Mark II or D3x in ISO performance over 800.

Certainly one of the best looking compacts, you’ll remember that the Sony Cybershot DSC-T77 features a 10 megapixel sensor, 4x zoom, and 3 inch touch screen. It is almost identical to the Sony Cybershot DSC-T700, minus the 4GB of internal storage, a smaller (though still large) LCD screen, and most significantly it costs about $100 [...]

Chromasia’s David Nightingale writes his tips for creating HDR images over at Photography Blog. If you’re unfamiliar, Nightingale’s Chromasia blog is one of the best, and certainly one of the most popular and yes he does some fine HDR work, so he’s a good one to take tips from.

Photographer Chris Nze has an incredibly strong Flickr. The above is a look (palladium) that I find myself frequently trying to duplicate in Silver Efex. I just love it.
