Submitted by David Cardinal on Fri, 02/11/2011 - 23:57

I'm speaking at the local Princeton Club next week on Wednesday about "Taking Better Photographs." It's open to the public--you just need to pay $15 for lunch in advance. I'll show some photos (of course) and give everyone some tips on better vacation photography as well as always popular kid's sports tips and ideas on photo trips. If you live near Palo Alto, California I hope to see you there! You can read more about the talk as well as sign up online at the PCNC website or with the event information below. Read more »

New Nikon Coolpix P300 Shatters Price Barrier for Full-featured “Point and Shoot”–P500 Extends Super-Zoom to 36x

Nikon Coolpix P300 Calling the new Nikon Coolpix P300 a point and shoot is something of a misnomer. Featuring an f/1.8 lens and 12MP sensor for great low light performance and 1080p HD video the P300 operates more like an entry level D-SLR or high end rangefinder camera—except of course it isn’t. It has an integrated 24-100mm (4x) zoom but the manual controls we’re familiar with from SLRs. What is even more stunning is the price. All this for $329! For those who don’t need the ultra-fast lens Nikon has also released some other great new models… Read more »

The Sigma 70-200 performs well at any aperture making it possible to take images in low light at a distance like this one of the awards podium at a First LEGO League competition held at Google's headquarters.For action photography no lens gets more work than the venerable 70-200mm f/2.8. With the addition of built-in focus motors over the last decade (called USM by Canon, AF-S by Nikon and HSM by Sigma) as well as support for Teleconverters for extra reach it is a great "go-to" lens for action indoors and out. Show up with one at your kid's soccer game or swim meet and you're guaranteed to get jealous looks and more than a couple questions. And of course you'll get plenty of images that others with their slower kit lenses will miss out on….
