- Adobe have released Lightroom 3 BETA as a free download on their website. Users can download it and try it out for free until the release candidate hits the shelves in the first half of 2010. There are some nice updates but the whole thing is very buggy right now. I would recommend trying it but not using it to replace LR2 just yet.
- Yesterday I received my new Canon S90 from B&H photo. This little camera has the same sensor as the new Canon G11 and offers full manual control and RAW shooting. I wanted a high quality P&S camera and found it hard to choose between the s90 and the G11 but i’m glad I went with this. It is incredibly small. I would have no problem having this in a pocket all day, you’d never know, which is something that can’t be said for the G11.
- I’m heading to Mexico for a week and i’ll be taking some time to test the S90 while i’m away, expect more info when i get back.
- I’m also taking my Canon 7d with me. I’m just going to take the one lens as photography is not the reason for my trip but I wanted a simple case to put it in so that i could safely pack it into my F-Stop Satori along with some clothes. I picked up a
Neoprene case from LensCoat called the bodybag and i’m impressed with the quality. The stitching seems to be very sturdy and if you need a simple case to protect a body and a lens from scratches then this is a great option. They make a variety of cases for lenses and bodies in different combinations and I was so impressed by this one that I ordered a couple of cases to hold camera bodies on their own for a little added protection when inside your regular camera bag.
