[REVIEW:] Canon SD4000 IS – Jefferson Graham (USA Today)
At a price of $349 (on Amazon), Canon’s new PowerShot SD4000 IS is the most expensive point and shoot camera in Canon’s “Elph” line-up. The camera is about twice as expensive as the standard $150-$175 Canon PowerShot found on Amazon, which begs the question — do you get twice as much camera for the money? — Jefferson Graham

[REVIEW:] Fujifilm FinePix HS10 – Joshua Goldman (cnet)
The Fujifilm FinePix HS10 looks like the ultimate bridge camera, given its wide-angle lens with a manual 30x zoom; large tilting LCD and an electronic viewfinder; direct controls for all major settings; and shooting modes that take you from fully automatic to fully manual. The combination makes the HS10 a good all-in-one fixed-lens solution. But there are definitely compromises to be made, and this camera’s price tag doesn’t make them any easier to swallow. — Joshua Goldman

[REVIEW:] Kodak PlaySport Zx3 waterproof HD camera review – Paul Miller (engadget)
We have plenty of gripes with the current crop of pocket cameras, most of them to do with image quality: grainy footage, poor (laughable) low-light performance, a lack of autofocus, digital zoom, gimmicky 1080p, and so forth. The new Kodak PlaySport Zx3 HD Waterproof Video Camera solves none of those problems. But you can put it underwater. So, all is forgiven. — Paul Miller

[REVIEW:] Fujifilm Finepix JX250 Camera Review – Terrific Value With Lots of Features – Image Acquire
I have had a LOT of dealings with Fujifilm cameras, especially lately, and one thing that I find more and more in dealing with them is that they can generally be counted on to be reliable, decent cameras with at least fair controls (unless they’re a bit too slim) and offering plenty of features. The Fujifilm Finepix JX250 is a great example of just such a camera. — Image Acquire

[REVIEW:] Nikon Coolpix L22 Review – Eric Reagan (Photography Bay)
The Nikon Coolpix L22 is a 12-megapixels, budget-friendly compact camera that is powered by 2 AA batteries. Nikon’s target for the L22 is clearly a casual snapshooter who isn’t really interested in thinking about photography. It’s basic. It’s simple. It’s cheap. — Eric Reagan

[REVIEW:] Mastering HD Video with Your DSLR – Book Review – Eric Reagan (Photography Bay)
So, you’ve got that Rebel T2i, 7D, 5D Mark II, D300s, D5000 or any other number of DSLRs that can record video. But how do you get a worthwhile movie captured, edited and in front of others’ eyeballs?
A decent starting point for answering that question can be found in Mastering HD Video with Your DSLR from Helmut Kraus and Uwe Steinmueller. Now, before you get too excited, let me emphasize that this book is a starting point, and the title might be a bit on the presumptuous side. You certainly won’t be a master of DSLR video after these short 227 pages. — Eric Reagan

[REVIEW:] Fuji S1800 and S2550HD Review: A $200 Special Delivery – Eric Reagan (Photography BLOG)
The Fuji S1800 and S2550HD are virtually identical cameras, with only a few minor differences in their feature set. The duo offers a 12.2-megapixel sensor, coupled with an 18x optical zoom. For cameras that cover an equivalent zoom range of 28-504mm, both are quite affordable (in the $200 street price range at the time of this review). — Eric Reagan

Nikon’s automatic wireless remote speedlight system makes it phenomenally easy and convenient to use a couple of remote flashes (like Main light and Fill light). It allows easy off-camera remote flash, and it provides an automatic point&shoot wireless remote TTL multiple flash system. Automatic setup is surely the largest factor for many people. Just set a flash or two out there and they can work. Immediate automatic TTL multiple flash setup, vs. tedious manual setup. However manual flash does offer absolute and full control, and the system can also be used as a wireless triggering system for manual flash power levels (which is NOT to be confused with Manual flash mode – it is still very much Commander/Remote operation, and incompatible with much manual flash gear, such as optical slaves).
Here is Nikon’s Quick Guide for AWL setup instructions, with the menus of the various compatible gear.
It works well with one remote flash, but the system is at its best with two remote flashes. Using the Nikon Commander/Remote system, set the camera internal flash menu to Commander, and set each remote flash to Remote mode. You set one remote flash to be in group A, and one flash to be in group B (so the commander can individually control them). You throw the two lights out there somewhere (more care and planing is certainly a good thing pictorially, but the system doesn’t care what you do). Be sure to rotate the remote flash bodies so that the side sensor is aimed at the commander on camera.
