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 loss U Point technology in Capture NX-D, multiple lenses and sensors in one smartphone, sting and the Sony NEX-3N, Photoshop's oil paint filter and a Cool Tools and Wirecutter discussion.
- Thom Hogan sympathizes with U Point devotees suffering Nikon's move to NX-D in The Embedded Adjustments Problem before suggesting How Smartphones Will Continue to Kill Cameras with multiple lenses and sensors simultaneously capturing a scene.
- Terry White spent An Evening with Sting and the Sony Alpha NEX-3N and was "very pleased with the results as well as the low light performance at both 800 and 1600 ISO."
- Lloyd Chambers applies Photoshop's Oil Paint Filter to a couple of his outdoor shots.
- We spent the evening wrestling with a little navigation typography on our index pages only to catch Briam Lam and Kevin Kelly discuss Cool Tools and Wirecutter this morning. Boing Bong quotes David Hobby, who called the hangout a "masterclass on Web/business models."
