Experimental Japan from Dave Lee on Vimeo.

Shot with a Canon 20D, 20mm lens & 50mm lens.

Here’s a cool little stop motion video that reader David Lee sent in.  I asked David to tell us a little more about the project:

The idea was to make an animation set in Asia. The “experimental” side appeared after i started piecing the images together. The Donnie Darko rabbit just fell into place during the edit, especially when i put the track in. The rabbit is a house pet in Kyoto, so it was still fitting for the “Asian” subject.

Cnet has posted a review of the Canon PowerShot SX1 IS.

A top megazoom option, the Canon PowerShot SX1 IS offers a 20x zoom lens and HD video, which you can’t get in a similarly priced dSLR, and delivers more features and slightly better performance and photo quality than the cheaper SX10 IS.

Photography Bay reader, Rick, sent in a question that I thought I would pitch to the community here. Essentially, Rick has a couple of Canon AE-1′s that are in need of professional repair. For those of you who cut your teeth in the digital realm, the Canon AE-1 is a film-based, manual focus SLR. They are still quite widely available in decent used condition.

Does anyone have a recommendation for where he can send these camera’s for some affordable repair work at a reputable shop?

Fire away with your answers in the comments below.

DP Interface has posted a review of the Sony Cyber-shot T900.

The largest issue with the Sony Cyber-shot T900 is its user interface. The T900′s interface isn’t user friendly and the separated Home and Normal menus just add to the confusion.

The Fuji Finepix F200 EXR turns in an exceptional level of image quality, better than any camera in its class by a wide margin.
