PhotographyBLOG has posted a review of the Fujifilm FinePix F200EXR.
The new EXR mode is as effective in practice as it is revolutionary in principle. The D-Range Priority (DR) mode in particular is literally a real eye-opener, recording much greater dynamic range and preserving more detail in the shadows and highlights than either the F200EXR’s own high-resolution mode, or any other compact camera that we’ve ever reviewed.

As with the rumors surrounding the Nikon D400, the Canon 500D (or whatever it will be called) is rumored to be announced on March 25. The buzz has been building for several weeks now of a 15MP, video-equipped entry-level DSLR from Canon.
The above image is a press invite from Canon Europe that several media outlets have been receiving recently. The date of the press event is March 26.
The new Canon Rebel-series camera is rumored to feature a 15MP CMOS sensor, capture HD video and recent rumors suggest the inclusion of a jog wheel on the back in similar fashion to the Canon 50D and its predecessors.
Stay tuned for the latest.
Think Tank Photo has updated its Pixel Sunscreen by redesigning it so that it pops open for easier access. If you aren’t familiar with the Pixel Sunscreen, it works as a shade for your laptop so that you can see your screen while in the field without all the glare from the sun.

Additionally, the Pixel Sunscreen 2.0 is one of the items that Photography Bay readers can purchase and qualify for a free bag from Think Tank Photo. Essentially, spend $50 or more on gear from Think Tank Photo, and during checkout, their system will automatically let you select a free camera bag (e.g., Lens Changer 50) along with your order.

One of the biggest rumors floating around right now is the Nikon D400. Rumors of this camera have been swirling since late 2008. Rumor has it that the Nikon D400 specs will be 14.8MP, cover ISO 50-25,600, and can shoot HD video. Last month, the rumors really picked up, particularly in light of a Nikon D400 book that surfaced on a variety of sites, including Amazon.de.
Nikon Rumors has been staying on top of the Nikon D400 buzz and uncovered the same book on the publisher’s website. Also, a NR reader called up the author of the book and said, “He has a NDA with Nikon, that was clear to me, but his work on the book is real so we may see a D400 in summer.”
Stay tuned for the latest word on whether or not the Nikon D400 will come to fruition. Also, you would do well to check out the Nikon Rumors site at http://nikonrumors.com/ if you are into the Nikon scene.
