		<description><![CDATA[Sony has finally started shipping its NEX-7 compact system camera. Not being one of the big fish, I got mine the old fashioned way: I got on a waiting list and waited. Patience paid off and I was graced with a UPS box a week ago containing a Sony NEX-7 body and a spare battery. No lens. I am still waiting for this to arrive. Fortunately, I had planned for this and acquired a couple of lens adapters allowing me to fit legacy glass on my shiny new NEX-7. So while I wait for the Zeiss lens to appear on my doorstep, I shall write this first impression article based on legacy glass and my observations on how the camera and it&#8217;s files behave. Delays, delays&#8230; The floods in Thailand caused a lot of devastation for the locals as well as the corporations that housed their factories there. Originally scheduled for shipment on November 11, the cameras did not start showing up until the last week in December. Even then only in rarified numbers. Unbelievably, this delay did have a positive side. The delay allowed software makers to prepare their raw converters for the day when the camera arrived. So [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[With 35 mm digital sensors (full frame and cropped) now encroaching into image sizes once reserved for medium format digital (MFD) systems, photographers are going to have to change the way they examine their images for picture quality. With the introduction of the Sony SLT-A77 and NEX-7, cropped (APS-C) sensors have now surpassed the 22 megapixel mark, entering into the medium format image zone. Before anyone runs out to saddle up the high horse, please understand that I am not saying that 35 mm sensors of any flavor are better or worse than medium format digital sensors, just that the image sizes are now starting to overlap. Full frame sensor cameras from Canon, Nikon and Sony have been in this region for several years now, but the cameras that housed those sensors were relatively expensive (~$8K for Canon/Nikon and Sony ~$2800, roughly) so only professionals and really affluent amateurs had access to them. (By comparison, MFD systems start around ~$10K USD.) Sony’s offerings are a harbinger for what is going to be a new wave of ultra hi-res sensor cameras that are more affordable and thus, more mainstream. On an interesting note, if you scale the sensor technology used to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Phase One, makers of medium format digital camera systems &#038; Capture One software, have released an update to Media Pro (formerly Microsoft Expression Media, formerly iView Media Pro). The update rechristens the software to its original name and restarts the version counts to 1.0. But that is not all. A great deal of work has been done to improve the product over its previous incarnations. Having tried all three versions personally, I can report the following: Camera and image support has been vastly improved &#8212; the original version was good but supported mainstream cameras. Images represented in the app were not that great, it depended heavily on embedded JPGs for RAW files. The Phase One version incorporates the Capture One RAW engine and supports every format it does. Phase will have to release Media Pro updates in tandem with Capture One updates they way Adobe does with Ligthroom and Camera RAW for Photoshop. Speed, speed, speed &#8212; When Microsoft put their version out, they improved the camera support, but the product suffered from code bloat and did not perform very well with large numbers of images. Worse if the images were stored on a server and access over the LAN. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Phase One IQ Road Show made a stop here in Miami, FL and I was able to attend, sampling the latest in high-end camera goodness from Phase One: the IQ180 digital back. Big thanks to Phase One and Capture Integration for having the roadshow stop here and inviting me. The event was held on the 9th floor balcony of the Museum Tower in downtown Miami across the street from Bayfront Park. Capture Integration is located two floors up. The back was mounted on the Phase One 645 DF camera system, based on the Mamiya 645 DF. The model I handled also sported the V-Grip Air which, in addition to providing a nice vertical grip includes a remote trigger for Profoto Air lighting systems. The camera/lens + back + grip combination was surprisingly well balanced. The IQ180 sports an 80 megapixel sensor (as does the Leaf Aptus-II 12) which is astounding by itself, but the creamy goodness does not stop there. First and foremost is the amazing LCD display on the back of the unit: a wide format (3.2 inch), high resolution (1.15 Mpx), 16 million color touchscreen that rivals the Retina display found on Apple&#8217;s iPhone 4. The back [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[FOCUS ON IMAGING, Birmingham, March 6, 2011 — Phase One and Profoto today announced the availability of a unique image capture and light control solution that allows photographers to capture images and to control lighting from within Capture One Pro 6, when using Profoto lighting equipment. How it works A separate light control tool will be enabled in Capture One Pro 6 when the Profoto Studio plugin is installed. With this configuration and the Profoto Air USB transceiver, photographers have full remote access for wireless control of Profoto lighting equipment from within the Capture One application. Value to photographers “Prior to this solution, photographers would have to either switch between Capture One and Profoto Studio to get the optimal light on their set or they had to adjust the light manually,” said Carsten H. Olsen, senior product manager, Phase One. “Now photographers can stay focused on the scene and get their desired captures much faster.“ “Lighting is one of the key creative elements for the photographers we serve,” said Fredrik Fischer, product manager, Profoto. “The new combination of Profoto Studio and Capture One gives our customers easy access to experiment and develop their creative processes.” Availability and Pricing The new [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Phase One today announced their new IQ series of medium format digital backs. Sporting 40, 60.5 and a whopping 80 megapixels each, the three new backs also incorporate hi-res (1.15 megapixel) “Retina-like” touch displays, weather sealing, limited Live Mode viewing, Focus Mask (which highlights what parts of the image are in sharp focus &#8211; amazingly useful for tech camera users who would have to swap in a ground glass and loupe affair to achieve focus), 12.5 stops of dynamic range (DR), USB3 &#38; FireWire 800 support, plus an improved buffer so that memory card write speeds are improved and continuous shooting can run until the card is full. All three backs feature Phase One Sensor+ technology allowing 4x the sensitivity while shooting at reduced image sizes. I, for one, am not surprised by this development. Leaf Imaging, former Phase One competitor and now wholly owned subsidiary of Phase One, has long used a touch screen interface on its digital backs. This is not a simple component update, but a total redesign of the digital back. The new IQ Series of digital backs sets the standard for high-end photography. The “limited Live View” is surprising on a CCD sensor. Live View [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Phase One, Danish maker of medium format digital backs and cameras (with a little help from Mamiya), recently updated their flagship image processing application, Capture One, to Version 6. Phase One was one of the first camera makers to transform their image processing software package from a niche product that only supported their own brand to a general purpose image processing solution. Capture One comes in three flavors: DB &#8211; used exclusively for Phase One Digital Backs; Express &#8211; a basic edition; and Pro &#8211; a version geared for professionals and advanced amateurs who want all of the bells and whistles. You can see a feature comparison here. Phase One graciously provided me with a copy of Capture One Pro v6 for review. For the record, I have been drinking the Capture One Kool-Aid since version 3, so when Phase contacted me with an offer to review v6, I jumped at the chance. To be honest, I was squirreling away cash to pay for the upgrade when this came along so I consider myself very lucky. What&#8217;s New? Version 6 of Capture One brings a whole raft of new features and improvements making this powerful photo manipulation tool even more [...]]]></description>
