Bob Atkins has published a review of the Canon 50D.

The ultimate test of a camera for me is whether I’d want to own it, and I’d want to own the EOS 50D.

Photography Review has published a full review of the Olympus E-520.

Combine the E-520’s minimal size and built-in image stabilization and you’ve got what I believe is one of the best backpacking cameras available.

For the latest news and reviews, see Photography Bay’s Olympus E-520 Reviews and Resources.

Don’t get scammed by a deal that sounds too good to be true. Photography Bay recommends purchasing your photography equipment from Amazon, B&H Photo and Adorama.

Nikon has released a firmware update for the Nikon SB-900 flash.  The following improvements have been made in version 5.02

  • With uninterrupted shooting with the SB-900 set to i-TTL mode, images captured just before the flash ceased firing were sometimes overexposed. This issue has been resolved. By resolving this issue, metering precision has been further increased and the number of times the flash fires has also been increased.
  • When the SB-900, set to TTL auto flash mode, is used with a camera supporting the Nikon Creative Lighting System (CLS), flash mode automatically changes to A mode according to camera communication status. That flash mode was previously maintained, but it has been modified so that TTL auto flash mode is restored once the SB-900 again recognizes the camera as a CLS-compatible camera.

Additional details and downloads can be found via the following links to Nikon:

SB-900 Firmware Update 5.02 - Windows

SB-900 Firmware Update 5.02 - Macintosh

PhotographyBLOG has posted a review of the Casio EXILIM Pro EX-FH20.

Photographically speaking, there’s nothing that exceptional about the Casio. However if you’re a YouTube junkie and as keen on video as you are shooting stills, and being able to capture slow motion footage as well as widescreen vistas floats your boat, then the Casio EXILIM Pro EX-FH20 is worth further investigation.
