Pentax has announced an update for their entry-level DSLR. Not exactly a new model, but rather the K100D updated to SUPER! This updated model has a senor cleaning technology, and full compatibility with Pantax’s higher end lens offerings. And like the previous model it has built in anti shake, and that’s cool in any language.
The K100D Super still is only running at 6.1 mpx, but then again I took many a great wedding photo’s with a 6.1 in the not so distant past. It sports a 2.4″ lcd screen, and iso settings up to 3200. As to how it handles noise at that level…. we’ll have to leave that to the comments from future owners.
It’s not the Tajma Hall of cameras, but coming out in Aug for around 5 bills (hundred that is) is may be worth taking a look at for those in the market for an entry level SLR.

Graphi Studios offer some really large sizes, and even metallic pages in their unique storyboard type designs, but you’ll have to pay for the elegance.
Some options in the more traditional covers, and mat pages include Art Leather, and Wooden Nickel who have many styles available and can send you printed information. Also check out Leather Craftsman which offer some beautiful covers, though a bit more high end. Note that these companies also have flush mount styles as well. Also check out JLee albums.

Other Show Notes…
Mike emailed asked about software to make DVD slideshows, and I recommended iphoto, and idvd for the Mac, and Pro Show Gold for the PC. Show it web was also mentioned, but for online slideshows. They do offer a DVD making service from the show it slideshows, but it’s not cheap.
The facts are not yet in, but with D3 rumors floating in the winds, it seems that Engadget recently got some information from an newspaper editor, who got his information from an unspecified source, that Nikon is preparing a camera that will put Canon to Shame.
Now us Canon fans don’t expect Canon to be blown away anytime soon, but we’ll let you be the judge for now, and if this thing really comes out, then we’ll all know. Hopefully more details will emerge later this month so stay tuned. Click here for the engadget post
Will Nikon kick Canon? Will Canon shoot back? Will other Dslr’s take over the market? … The Saga continues
