I’ve had a review Pentax K-30 for the past few days. Favourite shot so far.
One new camera from Nikon, two new lenses from Canon, some new release candidates from Adobe, the photo contest winner for October, and a huge give-away of photo and video goodies for Movember. Last week was all go.
This week has already got off to flying start with Triggertrap’s release of its wireless triggering feature.
Oh, if you’re wondering what I sound like, here’s me being interviewed by Pixiq’s John Nemo.
Here’s the rest of the week!
First, an important legal point
Wow, @42ndstreetphoto just filed a DMCA request with me because they didn’t like the bad review I wrote of their dodgy business practices. (2012-11-12 by @Photocritic)
I hasten to add that @42ndstreetphoto claim that I was ‘defamatory’ and ‘libellous’. Newsflash, kids: It can’t be defamation if it’s true. (2012-11-12 by @Photocritic)
