Above is a short video that Nick and I shot using a pair of Olympus E-P3 cameras. Nothing fancy in terms of lenses, filters, matte box or follow focus. We just wanted to see what kind of footage we could get out of them straight out of the box. [click to continue…]
Canon SX150 HS
Low resolution images of the obligatory PowerShot compact camera updates appear to have leaked out.
The PowerShot SX150 HS should serve as a replacement for the current PowerShot SX130 HS. The SX150 HS will upgrade to a 14.1MP sensor (from 12.1MP on the SX130) and will keep the same 12x zoom range – or so it appears. [click to continue…]

These look to be official product shots from the Sony A77, which is due to be launched later this week.

Earlier in the year, Photography Bay launched a free forum for its readers. Unfortunately, it has been a target for spammers who register fake profiles and try to trade off Photography Bay’s traffic in order to get links and traffic to their shady operations.
As a result, I decided to manually review and approve all registrations and have been backlogged with hundreds of spam profiles to review, in addition to the many legitimate registrations.
I have gotten emails from some of you asking what is taking so long for your profile to be approved. The easiest way to get your registration approved is to send me an email at: contact@photographybay.com and let me know you’re waiting.
I will respond to these registration emails immediately.
I have also included these notes on the forum in an easy-to-find location for future registrants.
Finally, if anyone has suggestions on better ways to cut down on forum spam, I’m all ears. Feel free to email me at the above address or send a message via the contact form.
