Panasonic G10

B&H is offering one of their custom kits packaged with the Panasonic G10 & lens for $340 right now.  I’m not sure how long this will last, but this is a crazy price for this already affordable camera. You can read my recent Panasonic G10 review to get an idea of how good this bargain is.

The G10 generally costs around $450, so if you were thinking about picking one of these up, you might want to jump on this one.

UPDATE: Looks like its back up to normal price, so maybe that was miscue instead of a sale price.

Adobe has made release candidates of Lightroom 3.3 and Camera Raw 6.3 available for download in Adobe Labs.  These versions add RAW file support for the following cameras:

A number of new lens profiles have also been added, along with several bug fixes.  Additional release notes are indicated on the respective download pages for each product.

Remember, these are release candidates, which means they’ve been pretty well tested and Adobe thinks they are ready for full release; however, it’s recommended that you keep production work to prior versions until the official releases drop.  Expect those to come soon though.  Release candidates mean that the final versions are just around the corner.

Lightroom 3.3 release candidate can be downloaded here.

Camera Raw 6.3 release candidate can be downloaded here.
