Tuesday’s Round the Web

Rainy day here in the northeast, hopefully it’s nicer where you are. Anyway let’s get going here…

Photography Blog reviews the Canon G10. Not to rehash, but on a feature basis, it is a fine camera, and certainly capable of taking great pictures. It gets a great review, but:

…I would have preferred to see Canon stick with the same 12 megapixel sensor and improve high ISO performance, rather than cram in even more megapixels. The excellent image stabilisation system helps to ensure that the G10 can handle most common shooting situations, but don’t expect stellar results when using the camera handheld in very low-light, as you’ll be forced to use the high ISO speeds, or the built-in flash. If you’re comparing the G10 with a DSLR, you need to seriously consider how often you’ll be using ISO 400 and above, as any entry-level DSLR clearly beats the G10 in this respect…

PhotoReview reviews the Canon EOS 50D. It reconfirms the 50D is another solid offering from Canon:

Interestingly, low-light performance was generally outstanding, with no visible noise in shots right up to ISO 1600 and very little noise at ISO 3200. By ISO 6400, noise was visible – although not obvious. Noise was evident at ISO 12,800, where we also noticed a raster pattern of lines across areas of the image with no detail. However, these images were printable at 15 x 10 cm size.

Rail mounts and focus rigs for the Canon 5D Mark II.

Ctein discusses high pass sharpening. It’s a method I use in tandem with smart sharpen, depending on what type of detail is in a particular photo.

25 best news photographs from Vanity Fair. Some powerful moments.

Kelby’s Digital Photography Book Vols. 1 and 2, in a boxed set. Clearly a X-mas present in the making.

The Digital Picture points to some additional videos from the Canon 5D Mark II. Yes, it will be a trend.

That’s it for now. Try to enjoy this Tuesday folks!
