“Photographers need real reasons to upgrade past 39-megapixel digital backs,” Phase One CEO Henrik Håkonsson says in the release. “Real value includes higher resolution but also requires new functions, faster operation, higher quality through expanded sensitivity, increased dynamic range, better results in the studio or on location and a better longer-term investment.”
Though that’s a canned quote, it’s an argument photographers need to seriously consider if they’re thinking of jumping back into the megapixel race. Because along with offering mind-blowing amounts of resolution—and images shot with the P 65+ really are mind-blowing—the camera system sets another unofficial record, this time in the conspicuous consumption category. Packaged together, the Phase One P65+ back and 645 camera sells for just a hair under $42,000.
Ouch.

Pete Tsai took a look and though “I can do that.” The other way to hook up a Nikon camera to a computer is via USB, so why not Wireless USB (WUSB)? He bought an off-the-shelf adapter and, with minimal tweaking, got full remote access. The price? $40.

Eliane Laffont says:
“Photojournalism” is a word that evokes heroic stories and the call of adventure. It is a mirror of the world and a witness to its time. When Jean Pierre and I—along with our French partners — created the photo agencies Gamma in 1968 and Sygma in 1973, we wanted to redefine the nature of photojournalism and reveal and explain the world’s great events. We consciously built a new platform. And it was not by chance that these two photo agencies grew so quickly. We were successful because we invented a new way of reporting the news and a new way of working with photographers that, despite many challenges, is still alive today.

State of the Art says:
the Pentagon is about to release another batch of photographs from Abu Ghraib–perhaps hundreds of new images. This release comes as the country debates the use of torture in obtaining critical infomation. The Pentagon did not want to release these images, which it collected when it investigated the abuse at Abu Ghraib. It eventually capitulated after losing three separate Federal court reviews of the matter.

Lohan and her accomplice arrived at her plush pad and ducked inside to avoid the lenses of the prying photographers, but they then reappeared armed with raw eggs and handfuls of pizza and began to hurl the food at the fleeing paparazzi.
But Lohan’s opponents had the last laugh — the star’s bad aim left her expensive Rolls Royce car smeared with food.
