12 megapixels, a Leica lens, 3.6 optical zoom and an optical image stabilizer. What more could you ask for? How about wide screen HD video? Yep it’s got that too!
It’s not a DSLR, but many pro’s would agree that having a great point and shoot around is an real asset. The sophisticated Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX100 brings many great features to the table, and looks good to top it off. Check out all the details over at Let’s Go Digital

The folks over at Digital Photography Review just posted thier review if the Nikon Coolpix P5000. The P5000 is considered to be “the ‘flagship’ in Nikon’s Coolpix compact digital camera range.”
It boasts a long list of great compact digital camera features including a 10 megapixel sensor. Even though it is not a “professional” camera, there was one feature that caught my eye. Maybe it’s because I am such a huge Nikon fan, but I really liked the camera’s finish. It is similar to that of the Nikon SLRs. It’s that black, textured metal surface with a nice rubber grip for your hand. In a world of shinny silver and gold compact cameras it is refreshing to have one that looks like it’s big brothers and sisters.
DPReview.com always does very thorough and indepth reviews of products so check it out.

More details are surfacing on Sony’s up and coming DSLR lineup. Though most of us are currently Canon or Nikon folks, competition is great and it looks like Sony may be bringing us some good specs.
Time will tell since Sony often finds a way to botch things that would otherwise be great, but the more competition the better gear we end up with.

Part two talks in more detail about using Photomatix Pro, and how to use it to get a great looking HDR image. You can use our promo code PPS15 to save 15%. There’s also an HDR Flickr group you should check out, and you can see some of my HDR work on my own Flickr page, also here is the HDR panoramic photo that I made.
People in HDR, and here is a few that I shot to give you some ideas…
This was taken at sunset. The light was very low, and I had to use a high iso. The resulting image came out a bit grainy, but the effect was very dramatic. It gives us some food for thought! Even though this is not what you would think when you thought about HDR, it gives a different aspect and has a lot of mood.
This shot was taken at the beach around sunset. Again a three shot HDR using auto bracketing, it gives off plenty of drama and though the subject has to stand very still the resulting image is just what the doctor ordered.
This is another Senior shot. Doing this is HDR gave it lots of dynamic detail that would not otherwise be possible.
Pick of the week this time was submitted by listener Greg. It a nice (and simple) javs script you can use on your website to make a sideshow. It’s free so just read the direction and your off.
That about does it for this week. You can send questions or comments to prophotoshow@gmail.com. Have a great week… Gavin
