I just heard the premier episode of TWIP (This Week in Photography). It was an awesome podcast! Its the latest production from pro photographer Scott Bourne and digital video expert Alex Lindsay. You can check out their site at TWIPPhoto (twipphoto.com). For a link to Scott’s bird photography site, go to Avian Photography.
I added to my Nikon collection today by picking up the new Nikon D300 and MB-D10 multi power battery pack. This is just an amazing body! I am now going to use my D200 as my backup body and sell my D100 on eBay or Craig’s List. I will post a review soon on this D300 body so stay tuned!
I have been using Nikon exclusive for over 20 years now. They are celebrating their 90th anniversary and did so with a great video covering their accomplishments. You can see the video on their press release page or follow the links here:
Today, Apple upgraded it’s entire iPod line from top to bottom. You now get many more features for much less than before along with new design points. The entry line of iPods, the shuffle, now comes in 5 new colors. The iPod nano now is smaller and a bit wider but supports video and games. The original iPod is now the iPod classic and is thinner along with capacities up to 160gb. That’s up to 40,000 songs in your pocket.
The hot new announcement today is the iPod touch. Its basically an iPhone in every way but without the phone functionality. And with capacities up to 16gb. It also supports WiFi access now and sports the Safari web browser, YouTube access, syncs with yout contacts and calendar, and more.
The iPhone, along with the iPod touch, now have a new feature, WiFi iTunes Store. You can now browse the iTunes Store, preview music, purchase, and download songs directly to your iPod touch and/or iPhone. The iPhone, via an upgraded version of iTunes software (being released tonight), now supports Ringtones and you can create your own ringtones as well from the purchased music downloads.
Apple is now partnering with Starbucks Coffee to offer free WiFi access to the iTunes Store from the Starbucks coffee shops. Now, when you enter a Starbucks, your iPod touch or iPhone will sense the Starbucks WiFi network, automatically login, and present you with a Starbucks icon on your iPod function. It will display the current playing song in the store and the previous 10 songs played. You can preview those songs and if you like it, you can purchase and download it directly from within Starbucks. Apple also surprised everyone by dropping the 4gb version of the iPhone and reducing the price of the 8gb iPhone from $599 to $399!
You can see all the lateset iPods and iPhone at the Apple iPod+iTunes site.
I purchased my Nikon D200 in March 2007 for a wedding shoot I did in Jamaica. That body was fantastic. And now Nikon raises the bar yet again with the new D3 and D300 bodies. Here are the Nikon press releases posted on my site.
