In my continuing research on the Sony cameras, I’m finding more and more that the base-model SLT-A35 is going to be an excellent way to start my transition. As these things go, it’s inexpensive, while still managing to make beautiful still images and video. Today, I came across this rather nicely done demonstration video highlighting the HD video capability and also showing some of the still image capability. Have a look…

Un-Blur: More Amazing Technology from Adobe
Could tripods and image stabilized lenses become a thing of the past? Many photographers have already ditched their tripods in favor of image stabilization, and now Adobe have given sneak preview of a new automatic “un-blur” technology that is nothing short of amazing.

Who Needs a Video Camera?
As manufacturers improve the control and quality of video recording in digital cameras — including D-SLRs, advanced or transitional digicams and even the smallest of point-and-shoots — will consumer camcorders become a thing of the past?

Back in January, I wrote that I thought I had finally gotten that whole Sony thing out of my system. Boy, was I wrong.
I recently purchased a new little point-and-shoot digital camera, the Sony Cyber Shot DSC-WX9.

The idea was to be able to record panos to use as backgrounds for my model railroading efforts.
