Pentax K-30: a pretty package of a camera

Someone let the cat out of the bag about Pentax's K-30 last week. It's a shame, because I don't mind surprises, and the K-30 is fairly attractive as surprises go. It's a 16 megapixel CMOS sensor with a PRIME M engine. Sensitivity ranges from ISO 100 to 12,800, [...]

When it comes to cool stuff, I'm not sure that there's much cooler than Triggertrap Mobile this week. But, if you enter our May photo competition, you can win yourself a Fracture, which is also pretty cool. Flickr also unveiled some groovy new photo sizing [...]

Flashlight Painting and HDR

One of the best tools for nighttime photography is a flashlight. It is especially useful when the exposures are long and when shooting HDR. Almost every image I take at night is an HDR exposure sequence. Sometimes the exposures can be several minutes long [...]

The weekly round-up

Lots of new cameras, lots of new lenses, but not a whole lot of gossip. We were all far too focused on the leaks of the new cameras that finally materialised, I suppose! So, here's the week that was in photography. Camera talk Nikon announced the D800 and [...]

Compact cameras: down, but not out

It's an inescapable, plaintive cry: the compact camera is in decline! You can scarcely go a week without hearing someone lament that sales of compact cameras are falling; that the ubiquity of camera phones is eclipsing the point-and-shoot; that on Flickr there [...]

Design-led? Actually, I think the Pentax K-01 means business

Pentax launched a new mirror-less interchangeable lens camera today: the K-01. It's bigger than we're accustomed to in this breed of camera - in size it's definitely no match for the cute and quirky Pentax Q, a camera that certainly had its stumbling points, [...]

The weekly round-up

It's been a busy week for Google, what with swinging the axe over Picnik and coming under fire for its new updated privacy policy, not to mention Daphne Keller - one its execs - letting slip that she uses Flickr rather that Picasa (or Google+) at the Leveson [...]

The Pentax Optio VS20, all geared up for vertical shooting

There might be a constant background wittering that compact cameras are dying, being overtaken by camera phones, but camera manufacturers haven't given up on them yet - far from it, when you look at the new releases announced at CES - and that includes Pentax, [...]
