Kodak EasyShare M1093 High ISO Examples.

One of the features o f the KODAK EasyShare M1093IS is the HIGH ISO capabilities. So I thought I’d test some real world examples. This is mixed light too. Low daylight on the foreground and flourescant filling in from above. I’ve got the exposure mode set to PROGRAM and then took the exact same [...]

Pentax releases all white DSLR

You either love it, or you hate it.  I think it’s kindof neat. It definitely has that ’storm trooper’ star wars feel to it to be sure. 
One might argue that the white might fool the meter  or reflect, but look at Canon: they’ve had white lenses for years. PRO lenses too.
