Adobe team has officially released “Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 4” photo management software. The company had very recently this year released a beta version of the software and now has rolled the final version. I’ve have used Lightroom 3 (LR 3) for my Post Processing and been quite happy with its extensive image management tool which lets you easily import, view, edit and organize your photographs. Adobe is offering the full version with all its features and future updates for less than $150. You can actually download a full-featured 30 day trial and try before you buy.
Here’s a quick peep on the new features of Lightroom 4 (LR 4) compared to the LR 3, and why you should consider upgrading to LR 4.
Nikon has 6 speedlights in their lineup as of today, the SB-400, SB-600, SB-700, SB-800, SB-900 and the new SB-910 which is available on pre-order from Amazon. It’s quite a strenous decisson on which speedlights to buy, with the different features they offer. I shall try my best to give a quick peek of these Nikon Speedlights and hope you can make a right decission on your purchase. Listed below are in order of their production date.
The Samsung ES30 sold like hot cakes when X-Cite had a promotional offer for KD. 19.900 (exclusive of memory card). My office colleagues brought a few couple of these cameras using the X-Cite Express Delivery Service. Watching the bug around the office, I decided to make a small review of the camera.
The Samsung ES30 is a compact entry level digital camera. I guess the popularity is because of the low price and with its weight (approx.140 gms). It can easily slip into a shirt pocket. The camera boosts a CCD sensor with 12.21 megapixels and 5x optical (35mm film equivalent: 27 – 135mm) wide angel zoom lens. The Minimum aperture wide is f3.5 and Minimum aperture telephoto is f5.9. The camera has a surprising 3 inch TFT LCD screen; the screen can be viewed clearly even on bright sunlight. The camera support includes built in Program AE selection, Smile and Blink detection for portrait photography, macro support up to 5cm away from the subject, JPEG file format, 640×480 pixel VGA movie resolutions @ 30 fps and ISO rating from Auto to 1600 for low light photography. It supports Video out, Mono Internal speaker and Microphone, USB 2.0 Hi-speed and SD/SDHC memory card. Memory card supports 4GB on SD and 8GB on SDHC.
