Nikon Introduces D3000--Full featured 10MP D-SLR with built-in coaching, 11-point AF & lens for under $600

Nikon has launched yet another ground-breaking entry level D-SLR. The headline feature of the camera is the new "Guide" mode which provides shooting suggestions for particular situations, but the one I'm most excited by is ...the 11-point AF system. Entry level shooters are often crippled by the 3 or 5 point AF systems so that the shooters who need the most help getting their subject out of the center of the frame get the least. Now they can benefit from more easy composition options. Nikon has also reduced shutter lag from previous entry level models which will be another big plus.

Cardinal Photo Custom Phofo & Adventure Safaris

Over the years we've found that many of our clients & friends want to participate in one of our trips but the dates we've scheduled just don't work for them or they'd like a customized trip for their family or friends. Rather than mass produce trips for every date we've instead started to offer custom safaris for groups so that we can provide the same high-level of personal attention, guiding and instruction adapted to your schedule and dates.

Burma: The Land That Time Forgot

 

					 Sunrise in Bagan, Myanmar Nikon D2H Processed using Photokit Color



				Just the name Burma conjures up images of hot jungles and bitter conflict. One of the most deadly theaters of WWII Burma was a place much in the news and on everyone�s mind in that period. Then, renamed Myanmar and taken over by a virtual lynch mob of generals who have suspended elections after placing their elected president under house arrest the country has increasingly become a throwback to a different time.



					Unlike neighboring Thailand and China, Myanmar has largely been left out of the Asian economic boom because of its insular and repressive government and backwards economic policies--amplified by a US trade embargo. The result is a country with many modern issues but set in a nearly historic backdrop.

PMA 2009 was billed as being "boring" for pro photographers because of the lack of D-SLR & Lens announcements, but there was plenty to see.


There were lots of accessories, as well as software and photo tools well worth evaluating.
