Exploring photography to inspire and teach
Today Olympus announced the EP-3 in the latest in the line of PEN cameras. It has quite a few improvements yet continues the line’s look and feel in a way that Panasonic does not seem willing to do. Hopefully the claims of better autofocus and a better LCD work out as great as they sound.

Lots of thoughts on this Kind of Bloop and Jay Maisel copyright case that has been progressing on the internet lately. I agree with most of the views of The Online Photographer (link below) but the one piece that I’d like to add is this -
From Waxy.org -
I went out of my way to make sure the entire project was above board, licensing all the cover songs from > Miles Davis’s publisher and giving the total profits from the Kickstarter fundraiser to the five musicians > that participated.
I know Andy thought he was in the right and didn’t have to license the cover art, but to license everything else and ignore the copyright owner of the photograph to me shows blatant disregard for Jay’s work.

Pentax announced the Q a small interchangeable lens camera that like the micro 4/3′s and the Son NEX series does not contain a mirror. Rather the Q like most point and shoots rely on the LCD and EVF accessories for framing your shot.

Many people have been praising it for it’s retro look but to me it looks not retro but cheap. We’ll have to wait for the test’s to come out to see how it holds up but I’m not holding my breath.
