PowerShot G11 review updated I've updated the night photos in my PowerShot G11 review to make the composition a bit more consistent with other reviews. Speaking of which, look for my review of the Fuji FinePix F70EXR midweek, followed by a look at the highly anticipated PowerShot S90 a week later.

Celebrating 12 years of the DCRP It's hard for even me to believe, but this holiday weekend marks the 12th anniversary of this website. Back when I started this site in 1997, a typical digital camera was at least $500 and had a resolution of 640 x 480 (or less!) and a 1.8" LCD display. How times have changed!
The lousy economy hasn't made for a great year, and I admit that I haven't been as productive as I would've liked. Regardless, I just wanted to thank the loyal visitors of this site for your support and patience over the last dozen years!

Panasonic firmware update bonanza Panasonic released a half dozen firmware updates today, all related to the Micro Four Thirds system. The first is for the Lumix DMC-GF1 camera body, which makes the following changes:
Enables MF assist operation via the rear command dial when using a lens that is MF only
Improved AF performance in movie mode
Improved high ISO photo quality
Improved auto white balance
Improved the "representation" in several people-related scene modes, and also changed the AE program in scenery-related scene modes
They also updated the firmware for five Micro Four Thirds lenses, with the big change being better AF performance in movie mode. For three of the lenses (7-14, 14-45, 45-200) you can now use autofocus with the Full HD quality setting, as well.
Olympus owners who use these Panasonic lenses can update the firmware via Olympus Master or Studio.
Canon PowerShot G11 review posted Today I've posted my review of the Canon PowerShot G11. Has Canon's flagship compact camera returned to the glory days of old, and brought great low light shooting along with it? Find out in the review!
I'll probably be re-shooting the night photos this week, as they weren't as tight as I would've liked.

Friday photo galleries I have three galleries for you on this Friday, two of which are new:
Casio introduces everything-proof Exilim EX-G1 Casio today entered the "everything-proof" market with their introduction
of the Exilim EX-G1. This new G-series camera (yes, like the G-Shock watches
they've made for years) is waterproof, dustproof, and shockproof, so it should
be able to handle whatever life throws at you. Here's more:
Sony Cyber-shot DSC-WX1 finally reviewed I know it seems like a million years since I posted a review, and that's pretty close to accurate. Let's just say that getting back to work after 3 weeks of vacation has been harder than I thought! Anyhow, today I've posted my review of the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-WX1. This ultra-compact camera uses Sony's new Exmor R CMOS sensor, which promises double the sensitivity of traditional CCDs. Does it live up to the hype? Check out the review to find out.
