The Powershot G11, which started to ship in October, 2009, continues that trend, but it does so in a new environment. So, before looking at the G11 itself and how it compares to its predecessor the G10, let’s see where it fits into the current taxonomy of cameras.

The software product in question is the ALPA Lens Corrector. The product should be available in its final version by the time you read this. Come to think of it, it makes all the sense in the world for ALPA to develop a software product that corrects lens aberrations such as barrel distortion, pincushion distortion and other kinds of distortion. After all, many of their customers are architectural and interior photographers, and many of their cameras are also used for scientific purposes. No one else was likely to develop a lens correction product for the vast array of Schneider, ALPA and Rodenstock lenses in the ALPA line.

This report is based on my use of the 645DF in Death Valley, comments and feedback from the other thirty attendees and instructors, and my own continuing tests and shooting once I returned from our Death Valley shoot. And, to answer the inevitable question up front – yes – I have ordered a DF camera upgrade based on this experience.

I always have problems coming up with gifts, so this year, I thought I’d help you out with some of my favorite tools of the trade. Now, now. no need to get them for me because I already have them. This is not some sort of shill list for our partners — these are things I purchased and use (well, with the exception of the last item on the list…feel free to gift that to me).

It’s just about a year since I visited Michael’s gallery in Toronto and was exposed (excuse me) to the Sony A900 for the first time. He was a bit like the serpent in the Garden of Eden – he tempted me with his own gear and I subsequently sinned most grievously and bought an A900 system too.

This article is an examination of the fruits of my sin after one year and over ten thousand shots. Was it worth it? What worked well, and what not so well? Would I do it again?
