The new coloring book that I build for TopSpeed.com features the following cars: Toyota Urban Cruiser, Bugatti Streamliner, Fiat 500 Abarth, Volkswagen Up, Renault Coupe, Mercedes SL63, Alfa Romeo 8C, Mini Cooper and the Toyota iQ.
This is a new project dear to me and I recommend you visit the site and let me know what you think. This artist presentation is build in Flash and the photos are made by myself as well. Sanda Gheorghe is one of romanian finest artists and it is my darling wife :)
The DSLR-A200 model features upgrades influenced by the recently-introduced, enthusiast-class DSLR-A700 camera and replaces the former Sony DSLR-A100 model, which was Sony’s first in the DSLR class. http://www.sonystyle.com/dslr
PhotographyBLOG reviews the Canon EOS 40D and
writes - 'The high points of the Canon EOS 40D are the tough, durable
body, the control layout and that amazing 6.5fps shooting mode. Yes, it
does soundly like a badly-muffled machine-gun, but it lets you grab
action sequences that lesser cameras would miss. The speed of the AF
system keeps moving subjects sharp, too. But perhaps the most striking
thing about the Canon EOS 40D is its value. It’s true that it costs
more than other 10-megapixel cameras, but it’s also much more
professionally-orientated. Its nearest rival in the semi-pro market
would be the newly-announced Nikon D300, but the list price is £1300
for the body only, and for that money you could get an EOS 40D and
Canon’s 17-85mm image-stabilised lens and have change to spare. The
Canon EOS 40D’s strength doesn’t lie in any great technological
breakthrough but in its professional appeal and its sheer value for
money.'
Photo Review has reviewed the Sony DSLR-A700 where they write - 'Despite taking a while to produce this camera, in the DSLR-A700 Sony has delivered a camera that enthusiasts can enjoy with features that will be of value to many professional photographers. A nice step up from the A100, it goes head-to-head against Canon's recently-released EOS 40D and Nikon's D300, which is expected in November. The only feature missing from the A700 that its rivals have is live viewing using the camera's LCD screen. However, this is of only marginal benefit for most photographers and only provides an advantage over viewfinder-based shooting when the camera is tripod mounted and in situations where precise frame coverage is required. Outside of those occasions, the viewfinder gives a more accurate rendition of the hues and tonal intensities that will be recorded and it's easier to read the shooting data on the viewfinder's screen.'
"Nikon has eclipsed the competition with the D3, a cutting edge camera that will change how professional photographers take pictures," said Robert Cristina, Brand Manager, Nikon Professional Products, Europe. “The incredible speed, resolution and flexibility of the D3 will enable photographers to capture images under conditions previously thought impossible.”
The D3, the result of years of development and feedback from professional photographers, combines many innovative Nikon technologies. These include an exclusive 12.1 effective megapixel FX format (36.0x23.9mm) image sensor with 12-channel read out, a blazing-fast 9 fps frame rate, expandable ISO settings from 200-6400, a completely new 51-Point autofocus system, a 3-inch VGA LCD screen with Live View and a cutting-edge image processing system.
The D300 is loaded with the latest professional technologies designed to produce images of the highest quality. The high-resolution 12.3 MP DX format CMOS sensor generates image files suitable for almost every type of output, combined with a fast standard frame advance rate of 6fps (up to 8 fps with optional Multi Power Battery Pack). The D300 offers fast power-up, quick response and outstanding flexibility to meet the needs of a wide variety of photographic assignments. The D300 powers-up in just 0.13 seconds, with an almost imperceptible 45 millisecond shutter lag.
Amstelveen, The Netherlands, 20 August, 2007: Canon
raises the stakes in the professional photography market with the
launch of the 21 Megapixel, 5 frame per second EOS-1Ds Mark III.
Delivering 14-bit depth resolution from a newly developed 35mm full
frame CMOS sensor, Canon’s new flagship digital SLR produces files that
convert to over 100MB uncompressed 16-bit TIFF, setting a new benchmark
in image resolution and sharpness for 35mm-format digital photography.
As well as producing outstanding colour rendition, Dual DIGIC III
processors drive 5 fps continuous shooting for up to 56 Large JPEGs (12
RAW) – unrivalled by any other camera at this resolution. This capacity
to shoot such large images uninterrupted is regarded as a big driver in
switching studio photographers to the EOS platform.
The EOS-1Ds Mark III inherits the new technology platform introduced
earlier this year in the EOS-1D Mark III, including 63-zone exposure
metering, 19 cross-type auto focus system, a 3.0” LCD with Live View
mode and EOS Integrated Cleaning System. The Highlight Tone Priority
function expands dynamic range for more depth and detail in bright
areas. The launch is supported with the announcement of Canon’s new
ultra wide-angle lens, the Lens 2.
"The EOS 40D represents an important step in the development of EOS for the advanced amateur market. It incorporates many of the technologies pioneered in our latest EOS-1 series cameras," said Mogens Jensen, Head of Canon Consumer Imaging, Europe. "For digital photographers, the benefits of upgrading to the EOS 40D are real and significant. For analogue SLR users, there’s never been a more compelling reason to make the switch."
Unbeatable has a review of the Samsung NV11: "Image quality is very good with the lens ensuring that
they are focused from corner to corner and detail is brilliant, thanks
to the 10.1 MP sensor which also ensures that colour reproduction is
very natural and bright. The touch screen interface proves to be very
successful and very easy to use which also describes the camera as a
whole. Images were good at ISO 100 & 200 but when we assessed the
images taken at ISO 800 and higher we found that they had high levels
of image noise and were unfortunately unusable. ... The Samsung NV11
has great features and is excellent value for money."
DigitalCameraInfo has a review of the Olympus EVOLT E-510: "The E-510 is very similar to its competition in many ways,
but it really distinguishes itself with the live-view LCD screen. This
feature attracts consumers who are used to shooting with the live-view
LCD on compact digital cameras and miss that feature on most DSLRs. Few
DSLRs have it and Olympus was the first to introduce it on the E-330.
The Olympus E-510’s live-view LCD is still flawed, though. The view
blacks out so the mirror box can flip and allow the auto focus system
to work: this all adds a second or two to the total time it takes to
snap a picture. It really is faster to snap a picture on most live view
compact digital cameras than on the E-510, so why even have a DSLR?"
Megapixel has a review of the Canon PowerShot S5 IS:"The Canon PowerShot S5 IS is a camera designed for
advanced amateurs, and some time is required to tame it and obtain the
highest image quality. Nevertheless, it would appear that the
8-megapixel resolution seems to be at the limit of what the lens can
support, and with wide angle shots it is not unusual for images to
require some post capture sharpening. Similarly, noise is a factor and
the S5 IS produces its highest image quality if sensitivity is kept to
a maximum of 200 ISO."
"According to data from CIPA (Camera & Imaging Products Association) digital camera shipments by CIPA members (the majority of digital camera manufacturers) are up 27% overall in the first half of this year compared to the same period last year. The largest growth coming from DSLRs, a total of 3.5 million units, up some 75% compared to the first half of last year. Despite strong growth price pressures mean that growth by value is less at around 11% for a total of $5.9 billion."
