Nikon Field Flash Digital Guide photography by Thom Hogan. This fellow clearly loves them and the review of lens is really great.

Finally, “Cameralabs”:http://www.cameralabs.com/reviews/FujifilmS9500/page4.shtml has a good side by side comparison of high end superzooms S9500 and DMC-FZ30 vs the Canon Digital Rebel XT with its kit 18-55mm EF-S lense. While not exactly far, it gives you a sense for whether or not to buy a low end dSLR with a cheap lense or a high end […]

“Noise Ninja”:http://www.picturecode.com/ and “Neat Image”:http://neatimage.com get frequent mentions from the top photography sites for reducing “digital noise” Another often used tool is “DxO”:http://dxo.com which corrects the imperfections of particular lenses digitally.

EXTREME Overclocking – 1GB & 2GB ATP Secure Digital SD Memory Card Review – Page: 6 – Tweaking PC Hardware To The Max. Memory cards are all pretty much the same, but for $68 vs. $50 for a vanilla card, you get one that is about twice as fast on writing. 10MBps is 60x the […]
