Over the past few years, I have given much praise to Bryan Peterson’s book, Understanding Exposure, as a practical resource for anyone looking to get more out of his or her camera. It is, in my opinion, the best book for anyone new to DSLRs. In the same vein, I can highly recommend Peterson’s new book, Understanding Photography Field Guide.
For my take on why this book is so great, read on. [click to continue…]

Sony has announced two new additions to its Alpha series of DSLRs. The A290 is the base model for the Alpha lineup, featuring a 14.2 megapixel CCD sensor. The A390 offers the same image sensor, but adds Sony’s popular (and effective) quick AF live view function in combination with a 2.7″ tilting LCD. Both cameras otherwise share the same body and controls, which (fortunately) includes a redesigned grip over the predecessor A330 and its siblings.
The A290 and A390 should be available in July 2010 at an initial retail price of $500 and $600, respectively.

The Nikon Coolpix S3000 is a 12-megapixel, ultra-compact camera. The S3000 is quite a basic point and shoot camera that’s really just a step or so up from the bottom-end Nikon L22. The S3000 has a decent 4x optical zoom, equivalent to a 27-108mm zoom range on a 35mm camera.
If you’re looking for cheap and thin in your digital camera, read on to see if the Nikon S3000 works for you. [click to continue…]
