I always seem to feel malcontent when it comes to my $100 or so point and shoot camera. For some reason the images captured with it seem to get less and less acceptable. BUT, should I jump to the Digital SLR level? Well, to answer this question I used the Which is Right For You? comparison post on photaza.com to help me with this decision.

Although I love the compact size of my point and shoot, I think I’m going to make the jump to the higher quality digital SLR. Maybe a Nikon D80???

Most every mobile phone has a camera feature available. Although there are a variety of limits when using a camera built into your phone, the simple fact is these cameras are with us at all times and are easy to use. The problem is, most of us leave them in digital format not taking the time to develop these images into prints.

PMA has created the Camera Phone Print Guide available in both PDF and HTML format.

Many folks are commenting on the release of Aperture 2.0. It seems to be well suited for most folks work flow while providing the tools necessary to create amazing compositions, sometimes when very little was there to begin with.

My favorite review so far has James Duncan Davidson providing examples from both Aperture and Lightroom with photos shot at high ISO settings (3200) to experiment how well each product handles the native noise at such high ISOs.

I prefer Aperture’s ability to reduce the graininess while still retaining rich colors. Which do you prefer?
