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 World Password Day, a sharpness tip, the Sony RX10 Mark III and the Leica M10.
- It's World Password Day this Cinco de Mayo and to celebrate Mark Stockley suggests Five5 Ways to Upgrade Your Passwordswords. If you need a little push, though, you could start with this pep talk:
- Mahesh Thapa's Sharp Tip: Sometimes Your Tripod Isn't Enough recommends leaving image stabilization on when your tripod is vibrating from running water or gusty winds.
- Kirk Tuck says the Sony RX10 Mark III is "better than I expected, and I expected it to be quite good." But he hasn't shot video yet.
- In Leica M -- The Full Review, Sebastiaan de With finally dishes the details on the M10. "It has seen 13 countries, almost every biome on Earth from Arctic Tundra to the tops of Central American volcanoes, deserts and Dutch polders, has shot through over a dozen lenses, shot an Eryc Prydz music video behind the scenes, and has gotten (nearly) destroyed with abuse. So by now, I can truly give you my thorough review of this camera."
More to come! Meanwhile, please support our efforts...
