Just Posted: It seems like everybody is talking about tablet computers at the moment, and one of the most talked-about – Apple’s iPad 2 – launched last week here in the US. We thought this was a good opportunity to take a look at the iPad 2 from the point of view of enthusiast photographers. Apple’s App Store contains hundreds of photography-related applications for the iPad – is Apple’s latest shiny gadget just a toy, or can it be genuinely useful as a photographic tool?

Just posted: Pentax K-r full review
Just Posted: Our full review of the Pentax K-r upper entry-level DSLR. When we reviewed the Pentax K-x in December 2009 we thought it was a little cracker. The K-r builds on this by adding visible AF points, a higher ISO range and faster continuous shooting to the K-x’s already successful feature mix but the competition has not been standing still. Click on the link to read how the Pentax K-r fared in our studio tests and how it stacks up to its latest peers in the upper entry-level bracket of the market.

Just posted: Olympus XZ-1 review
Just Posted: Our review of the Olympus XZ-1. The company’s latest enthusiast compact represents its return to the top end of the compact camera market. The impressive set of features builds around a 28-122mm equiv. F1.8-2.5 lens and includes a 3.0″ VGA-equivalent OLED screen, high-sensitivity 10MP CCD sensor and dual control dials. The XZ-1 enters a competitive segment of the market but its specifications suggest it can hold its own. Does use in the real-world support that impression?

Just Posted: Nikon D3100 in-depth review
Just Posted: Our review of the Nikon D3100. The latest in Nikon’s popular line of entry-level DSLRs addresses the most obvious criticisms aimed at its predecessors – the lack of live view and video modes. There are also a series of tweaks and upgrades, including a 14Mp sensor, aimed at keeping the camera near the top of the sales charts. However, this beginner-friendly offering faces more competition than ever from the burgeoning mirrorless camera sector, so how does the little Nikon stack up?

Microsoft Publisher 2010 – Start Publisher with Just a Blank Document
Stop showing the New Template Gallery when starting Publisher 2010.
Upon starting Microsoft Publisher 2010 you are shown a “New Template Gallery” inside the Office 2010 Backstage View. From here you can open documents, access recent files, create new documents, and more in the left pane. In the right pane you can choose from various templates that may include business cards, menus, newsletters, and postcards.
While some appreciate this feature, others would rather start Publisher 2010 with just a blank document. Then they can begin work on a new publication, open an existing file, or later choose to access the templates by creating a new document. If you fall in this category, a simple configuration change achieves this effect:…

Just Posted! Panasonic GH2 14mm F2.5 preview samples gallery
Just posted: Our Panasonic GH2/14mm F2.5 samples gallery. Panasonic’s latest video-focused Micro Four Thirds camera features an entirely new 18MP multi-aspect-ratio sensor and has been released alongside a 14mm F2.5 pancake lens. We’ve got hold of production examples of both and have taken them out shooting to get a flavor of how they perform with a variety of lighting conditions, subject distances and apertures. Rather than shooting the same scene at all ISO settings, we’ve shot an outdoor scene at ISO 160 to ISO 800 and indoors 1600 to 12,800 to give a more realistic impression of what you can expect in situations you might actually encounter.

Just posted! Sony SLT A55 in-depth review
Just Posted: Our review of the Sony SLT A55 interchangeable lens camera. Sony’s latest camera uses a fixed translucent mirror to redirect some of the captured light to the autofocus sensor, ensuring it can use fast, phase-detection AF at all times. The result is a full-time live view camera that can shoot at 10 frames per second and autofocus during video shooting. Its radical design blurs the already hazy line between DSLRs and mirrorless interchangeable lens cameras but has the potential to completely re-shape the market. We’ve had a production-standard SLT A55 for a little while now. So does it live up to the promise or did we see right through it? We reflect…
