			<content:encoded><![CDATA[The Canon 5D Mark III has finally arrived.  Is it a worth successor to the 5D Mark II, or is this just a re-branding of a beloved camera system offering little payout for the updated pocketbook pricetag?

I finally got my hands on a 5D Mark III for the weekend (a way too short weekend) and tagged along to a wedding to give the new system a try.  I was really looking forward to the upgraded low light sensor sensitivity, as every wedding I have ever been to seems to skimp on the light.

I have to say that first and foremost, I am a photographer.  Not a videographer, not a hybrid, not a multi-media tech dabbler.  I approached this camera as a still camera, not a video system.  That being said, I did shoot a few test videos, and played around with the camera's video settings; more on that in a future article.  In the meantime, to test this newest Canon in its native territory, I took it along to a wedding, and a nice, dimly lit wedding.  No choice but to pump up the ISO and hope for the best.  Read on for the full experience...<br/>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[So we have it, the long-awaited announcement of the new Canon 5D Mark III.  Canon's surprise smash hit 5D2 had a glorious run, achieving fame and infamy by inventing DSLR video capture in all its excitement and distress and, oh yeah, being a pretty fine photographic camera to boot.

The 5D2 has become a widespread industry standard for portraits and events and this update will keep it in the game.  Much needed on the old camera?  Better autofocus.  Canon answers with an aggressive 61-point system that promises the sporty performance that has been missing all these years.  What was not missing in the old camera?  Resolution.  Thankfully, Canon has decided the MP race has ended and capped the 5D3 at a respectable 22MP.  Remember your first big shoot on the 5D2?  Remember how quickly those cards filled and how Lightroom ground to a Rendering-Preview halt?  No new drama here.  Though the added benefit of an extra slot (one CF and one SD) is welcome news.<br/>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Profoto's D-line of packs and mono heads sits in the middle of the company's line up of studio strobe lighting, a bit less lofty than the company's Pro line and more expensive and far more sophisticated than Profoto's entry-level set of Acute packs.  "D" might well stand for "Digital" with D1 monoheads and D4 packs.  All use tenth-stop digital fine tuning and wide-ranging power.  "Air" equipped heads and packs make use of Profoto's sophisticated proprietary remote system to offer power and distribution control on camera, and built-in wireless multichannel sync (reviewed here).

The Profoto D4 Air, then, is an awesome combination of both Profoto's latest in-pack full asymmetry and sophisticated on-camera control.  It is a versatile tool for fine-tuned light, offering quick-control and the flexibility of a wide range of power.  It is both easy to use and thoroughly capable and, as we proved through nearly two months of hard testing, a robust pack, ready for the day-to-day beating of professional studio and location photography.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[A somewhat dry, but eerie story ran today on businessweek.com.  The story, Nikon Gains After Raising Forecast on Cameras, relates the company's intention to up profits by a huge margin.  It appears the company plans to earn $939 million before March 2013.  The story continues, emphasizing the new line of mirrorless cameras.  Nikon is on the move, with new products up and down the cost scale.  That includes, for the first time in a long while, new products of particular interest in professional photographers.  In this fiscal year's press for world dominion, what is Nikon's plan to be the go-to pro camera maker?  Read on for our analysis of two exciting product announcements from Nikon.

With the D4 and D800, Nikon is continuing the D3/D700 tradition of two full frame 35mm product lines.  Nikon will, if history is any indicator, role out slightly more amped-up versions of the new pro-size D4 in the months and years to come, but in the meantime, photographers are offered two very interesting new products.  Gone is the shared 12.2MP sensor, these are different cameras from one another, with some interesting new features.

Read on for our in-depth analysis of the latest pro offerings from Nikon..<br/>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Fujifilm announced today a new little brother to the excellent Fujifilm X100 (reviewed here).  The camera is smaller, but bears a certain family resemblance, including old school metal parts and a real ring on the lens barrel.  Missing, when compared to the larger X100, are that camera's Leica-inspired manual exposure controls, cool hybrid viewfinder, and larger sensor.  Exposure can, however, be manually controlled via the X10's rear control ring and thumb rocker and the X10's optical viewfinder zooms in response to lens settings.  The lens barrel ring controls the camera's zoom range and acts as its on/off switch.

The X10 shares a few quirks with the X100, including no dedicated ISO button (which will likely be the default setting for the top "Fn" button).  Also the rear control wheel has been one heck of a controversial interface and it is repeated here (we, for one, like it).<br/>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[In recent years, the single aspect of strobe lighting to advance most noticeably has been control.  Strobe packs like the Broncolor Senso (reviewed here) and the Profoto D4 now offer precise digital control of flash power in compact, go-anywhere boxes.  With wide-ranging power and asymmetry, advanced packs like theses have practically done away with ND filtering and separate packs for each head, allowing tenth-stop finessing of each channel.

The Profoto Air System brings a new degree of control to the set, at once replacing wireless triggering and the hassle of interacting directly with on-pack controls.  Profoto Air equipped packs and mono lights, like the Profoto D1 Air set we tested for this review, receive not only a high-speed, multi-channel camera sync signal, but remote power adjustments for up to 6 separate groups of lights.  And they work very well.  Read on for our complete introduction...<br/>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[In a strange twist from the globalized world of digital imaging, Fujifilm, one-time maker of zesty film has launched one of photography's most compelling successors to to history's iconic Leica rangefinders of the 35mm film era.  How many of those German cameras at one time or another loaded with Fuji Velvia, Astia, or Provia?  No matter, Fuji is back in the game with a tough little rangefinder built around classic Fuji color philosophy and the camera rocks.

What is the Fujifilm X100?  It certainly looks like the film-era rangefinders it mimics, and in many ways operates like one too, though the classy metal and faux-leather chassis uses digital trickery to add high-tech through-the-lens viewfinding.  The hybrid optical/electronic viewfinder allows much of the modern gizmology of recent interchangeable lens compacts and high end point and shoots aimed at sophisticated photographers.  Modern tricks include autofocus-enabled video capture; autofocus from any point in the frame; pre-capture preview of white balance, exposure, and histogram; RAW and JPG capture; in-camera RAW processing and film simulation; a virtual horizon in the viewfinder;  and a post-shot quick image review in the viewfinder.  Not to mention, as much as any camera currently made, the X100 packs its digi-tricks into an old school camera body that is fun to shoot, with quick, clicky mechanical access to aperture settings and shutter speed.

So, what is it like to shoot this quirky neo-classic?  Read on for our complete introduction...<br/>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Infrequently in professional photography are the serious tools of our trade to be called "cute".  In the world of sand bags, grip heads, gaff tape, and C-stands, there is little room for snuggly little objects designed for smiles.  This newest flash in the mighty Broncolor family is capable, practical, and tough.  But, people might say, it is also "cute".

If we look past cuteness, though, the Broncolor Litos is an exciting new product from a company known for uncompromisingly complex, precise, and accurate lighting gear.  It is compact for traveling, smartly designed for both ease of use and integration into Broncolor's extensive product line.  This newest Bron strobe head, designed primarily to accompany the new Broncolor Senso line of packs (reviewed here), is certain to be a perfect fit for a wide range of applications.  I certainly enjoyed using it.

Even if its design runs a little on the cute side, this strobe is designed for serious work and has a lot to offer.  Read on for our full review..<br/>
