Tim Hetherington’s “Infidel” (Chris Boot Ltd., 2010) is more of a family album than a traditional photojournalism book. There are of course powerful images of life for a platoon in the Korengal valley in Afghanistan that Hetherington and Sebastian Junger documented in the film “Restrepo.” But there are also thorough catalogs of the soldiers’ tattoos, their official Army ID photos and the magazine centerfolds in their barracks, and remarkably revealing interviews with seven of the soldiers. The book stands on its own, separate from the movie.

Zoom’s Q3HD is a little like a pro version of the Flip camcorder: it’s quick to use, records to solid-state memory and has a flip-out USB-plug to transfer footage. There, though, the similarities end. From its looks, you can tell the Q3HD is a pro-tool: i

Thought film was dead? Far from it. In an interview with the British Journal of Photography, Kodak’s US marketing manager of pro film Scott DiSabato said that sales of color film are steady, and that black and white is “doing extremely well.” He sees it a

DiSabato and the Kodak techs realized that most film is scanned at some stage in a photographer’s workflow, so they made it scanner friendly. Contrast was lowered to better allow the scan to capture the full range of tones, and the color gamut “is not pumped up so much that it begins to compete with some of that tonal information.”
CLICK NOTE: Final report from Mark at Photokina. Lots of great information here, including the 160 megapixel Seitz panoramic camera (seen in the photo above).
At Hasselblad we’ve worked for years with Multi-shot, which moves the sensor between different shots. If you move sensor for one pixel in one direction it generates full colour information for each pixel. And additional half-pixel movements doubles the resolution in two directions

This is certainly the most enjoyable camera news I’ve gotten in a long while. Fujifilm has made a “development announcement” at Photokina for a camera to be called the X100: a high-quality, fixed-lens, 12-MP, viewfinder-window compact digital camera with

Nikon’s hot new video-shooting D7000 is – on paper – a replacement for the D90. In reality, it puts pretty much every other Nikon crop-frame SLR to shame, and will sit bang in-between the still strong D90 and the top-end D300s. To show you just how good t
