DxO Optics Pro 7
Product Reviews on PC Magazine &bull Dec 15, 2011Unparalleled corrections tied to specific lenses and camera sensors. Fantastic recovery of image detail, noise reduction, and geometry correction. No image import feature. Few image organization and workflow tools. Doesn't impress as much with non-raw camera files. Edits can only be applied to the whole image?no adjustment brush. Not rock-solid?stopped working a couple times. DxO Optics Pro 7 will get the best possible results from camera raw files, doing the best job of removing image noise and chromatic aberration we've seen. It adds some impressive adjustment tools, too, but it… Full Story »

Fujifilm plans X10 firmware in response to 'white disc' concerns
Digital Photography Review &bull Dec 7, 2011

We have prepared a quick test of the issue (which we will cover in greater depth in the full review), showing… Full Story »

Former CEO Woodford quits Olympus board to call for new management
Digital Photography Review &bull Dec 1, 2011

Ricoh to make 16MP APS-C GXR zoom module
Digital Photography Review &bull Nov 28, 2011
Ricoh has added a 24-85mm equivalent zoom camera unit, based around an APS-C sized CMOS sensor, to its product roadmap. The roadmap on the company's Japanese site shows the module, scheduled for an 'Early 2012' launch, will be built around a 16MP APS-C CMOS sensor. Given the company's use of 12MP Sony sensors in its A12 modules, it seems likely this zoom module will be built around a version of Sony's impressive 16MP chip that underpins several recent Sony, Nikon and Pentax models. No details are given on price or aperture range. Wrong. Ricoh is using Aptina MT9H004. It's a… Full Story »
