Fuji X-Pro1 pricing announced, lenses more affordable than expected
Fujifilm has now officially announced pricing for its X-Pro1 compact system camera in the US market, and there's good news for those planning to buy a kit with several of the available lenses. Final list pricing for two of the three lenses that have been announced for the system's debut has come in below the initial estimate.
The Fuji X-Pro1 is the company's first compact system camera, and when launched last month, the company predicted pricing of approximately US$1,700 body-only, plus US$650 per lens.
The body price has turned out to be spot-on, as has pricing for the XF 60mm F2.4...

Canon VII Gallery: ?Change? - Time for that New Year?s resolution?
Word association: Quick, what do you think of when you hear the word "change?" How many ways could you capture it in a photo?
That's this month's challenge in the VII Gallery, sponsored by Canon: Take a picture expressing the concept "change," submit it in the Join the Project page, and you may see your image alongside ones from the pros at the VII Photo Agency!
So what does "Change" mean to you? Birth? Death? Graduation? A change of clothes? A change of weather? Building or demolition? - The possibilities are literally endless.
Visit the VII Gallery site to see what the pros did,...

Score one for the rumor mill: Pentax launches K-mount mirrorless
For more than a year now, rumors have swirled, suggesting that Pentax was planning to launch not one, but two mirrorless camera products with differing lens mounts. Some pooh-poohed the idea, perhaps understandably, but today the believers are vindicated, with the launch of the Pentax K-01.
It's a bold move from Pentax, to be sure. Last summer, they showed a willingness to go it their own way, with the launch of the Pentax Q--a camera whose ethos is clear: make a real interchangeable-lens camera, really small. The Pentax K-01 takes a completely different tack, combining a mirrorless...

HDR used properly is appropriate for photojournalism, says Unified Color's Omvik
Are High Dynamic Range photos appropriate for illustrating news? That's the debate that's been started by the Washington Post's use of an HDR image on its front page in January. Sean Elliot, president of the National Press Photographers Association came down firmly against it, saying, 'HDR is not appropriate for documentary photojournalism.' John Omvik, Marketing VP with HDR software maker Unified Color understandably disagrees. He's written us a response arguing that what we see is closer to HDR than, say, a mono photo shot with Tri-X film.

Kenko-Tokina exhibits mockup of image-stabilised 70-200mm F4 at CP+
Kenko-Tokina will exhibit a mockup of a 70-200mm F4 telephoto zoom that features both a ring-type ultrasonic autofocus motor and optical image stabilization at the CP+ trade show in Japan. The AT-X Pro SD 70-200 F4 (IF) FX will be the company's first stabilized lens, and will likely be especially interesting to Nikon SLR users who currently have no option that's directly comparable to Canon's popular and highly-regarded 70-200mm F4 designs. Further details are limited, but the lens appears to feature both internal zoom and focus mechanisms, and has a usefully-close minimum focus distance of 1m. (via Megapixel.il)

Kenko-Tokina Reflex 300mm F6.3 compact telephoto for Micro Four Thirds
Kenko-Tokina has added the mirrors back into mirrorless with the launch of an ultra-compact Reflex 300mm F6.3 for Micro Four Thirds. This fixed-aperture, manual focus lens revives the catadioptric lens design that was especially popular in the 1970s and '80s for producing small high-magnification telephoto lenses. With a 55mm filter diameter and weight less than 300g, this is possibly the smallest lens of this type that's ever been made for stills cameras. The spec is rounded-off with a minimum focus of 0.8m and 0.5x maximum magnification, making the lens potentially interesting for chasing insects and the like, just as long as you can hold it steadily enough.

Fujifilm says X-Pro1 will set you back around $2300. UK probably £1980
Fujifilm USA has announced its recommended pricing for the X-Pro1 high-end mirrorless camera. The MSRP will be $1699 for the body and $599-$649 for the lenses, meaning you can expect it to create around a $2300 dent in your pocket if you want to be able to take pictures with it. Canadian prices will be dollar-for-dollar equivalents. Fujifilm UK meanwhile hasn't yet announced pricing, but one of the country's retailers is taking orders at £1429 for the body and £549-599 for the lenses, which gives a good idea of how much you'll need to scrape together.

When you move the Exposure slider to the right in Photoshop, the image you are editing gets brighter. That makes sense. When you do the same with the Brightness slider it also gets brighter, but not in the same way. And they aren't interchangeable. If you've ever puzzled over this, here's the full story....

Lightroom 4 Finally Gets Soft Proofing!
Adobe Labs posted a public beta of the forthcoming Lightroom 4 on their website a few days ago.
