Reviews of photography products that enhance the enjoyment of taking pictures. Published frequently but irregularly.
12 August 2013
In this recurring column, we highlight a few items we've run across that don't merit a full story of their own but are interesting enough to bring to your attention (with more than 140 characters). This time we look at the Samsung NEX300, the Nikon 1 System, color vision and a war photography exhibit.
- Kirk Tuck's real-world review of the Samsung NEX300 compares it to the Sony NEX and Olympus Pen systems.
- Meanwhile Thom Hogan considers The Nikon 1 Head Scratcher, offering "a few pragmatic remarks" on what Nikon should do with the Nikon 1 system.
- Roger Cicala has Fun with Color Vision, showing what happens when you separate color and luminance in image processing.
- NPR's Susan Stamberg reports on War/Photography: Images of Armed Conflict and Its Aftermath in Haunting Images Chronicle 165 Years Of A World At War. The exhibit at the Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. runs through Sept. 29.
