Gavin was a guest host for this Monday’s edition of the Totally Cool Tech Podcast, reviewing the Canon Selphy ES1/ES2 Printers. The best on the go 4×6 printers available. At least in Gavin’s opinion.
TCT is a short podcast that talks about cool gadgets, and this printer is no exception.

Engadget today posted an image the the Pentax K200D. Who knows how soon this is coming out, and it’s also possible it’s a fake pictures.
The real question is that while it looks nice do most pro’s really care. Competition is good, and we don’t mind rooting a bit for Pentax but they are way behind in what most serious photographers want. Lenses are more important than bodies too, and Nikon and Canon londa got it cornered.
Times change though and Pentax seems dedicated to increasing it’s dslr market share. More power to em we say!

Listener Ben pointed us to a good article over at the Epic Edits Weblog. It’s a list of seven things that we should always keep in mind in or photography, but that nearly all of us have failed to do at some point.
One that I saw on here that I deal with is checking the ISO. I’ll set it at 3200 for something, and then I’ll start shooting and realize I’m getting noisy shots. Thankfully as cameras get better this gets to be less of a problem but we need to watch it.
One that they forgot on this list that’s a biggie is checking your quality setting. Occasionally I’ll lower down to a low setting like 1 megapixel or less to take a few quick web shots for ebay or somethin (Yep I ebay too) The disaster has never happened to me, but can you imagine if I forgot, and shot a whole wedding at 1600×1200 resolution… I don’t even want to think about it, but I need to, so I always remember to kick it back up when I’m done. I don’t lower it very often for that very reason.
Bottom line is no matter how much experience we have we need to always think like newbee’s in the area of making mistakes. We can all do it, and the more experience we have the easier it is to do. Pride comes before a fall!

Engadget reported today about this neat little gps device. There are various tools available the connect to the camera and tag your images with coordinates using gps.
The way we understand this neat little gadget however is that you carry it with you and it records where you are at what time. It then matches this to the times on the images you took and tags them with the correct location coordinates.
We don’t have a lot of details but it’s coming out next year and look pretty interesting.
