  • Why No In-Camera Stabilization?

    Another is that Minolta, the company that developed the in camera stabilization tech, has gone belly under and Sony has acquired the SLR division and produced a camera utilizing the tech, which they have re-branded to their own name. Licensing this technology would no doubt be costly and neither Canon nor Nikon would be likely to want to use Sony's nomenclature.

  • Tip of the Day: Point and Shoot Insurance

    Being a photographer, I have accumulated an immense amount of equipment that is worth much more than my wife thinks it is, and I use the point shoot to take pictures of all of my equipment and their serial numbers for insurance purposes. When dealing with your adjuster in case of a fire or theft, simple photographic evidence streamlines your restitution process considerably. This goes for any photo equipment or even home electronics, just snap a quick pic as you acquire the equipment to avoid any headaches later! —Matthew Panzarino Contributing Blogger
