As a generalist pro who shoots portraits, weddings, and products, my lightmeter is about as important to my livelihood as a working phone. Tyros, who swear by their TTL 35mm's, don't live in the pro's world of big manual flash units, where consistency in ambient exposure is also required. No automated, on-board

Samsung's digital compacts have, in the past, been a mishmash of oddball designs and undistinguished cameras. Strange for a company whose film point-and-shoots have such sharp looks and sharper optics.
This year, Samsung dumped its entire digital lineup, brought in top consultants, and began anew. And the flagship of the new Digimax line, the 4-megapixel V4, is a fine and fun new start.

The original Hasselblad 1600F of 1948 was the world's first 2-1/4 x 2-1/4 camera based on a compact, box-shaped body, to which lenses, backs, and finder modules could be fitted. This simple, elegant concept and 2-1/4-square format were maintained for over 50 years. Although shutters changed with various models, today's V-series Hasselblads bear more than a passing resemblance to their illustrious forebears.

For years, a lot of us thought that what the digital world really needed was a seamless way to print pictures-no computer necessary, just a quick hookup of camera to printer, a press of a button, and out would pop a 4x6 print. And now Kodak has done it.
But what makes the EasyShare Printer Dock 6000 a success isn't so much the idea, but the excellent execution. This is one of the nicest photo gadgets we've seen, both useful and fun.
