Last night I took the Fuji X100 with me to a small celebration for Cinco De Mayo with co-workers and today I used it for a bit of street photography. Yesterday, I stated that the camera had a slew of problems: especially the metering. The day before that, I compared it to the Olympus EP-2 and was just getting a feel for it. Today, I’m going to address some of the problems a bit more.

This is it, and it looks good, the Nikon D3100. When I had my first hands-on I had hopes for this camera. Nikon did not let me down. If you are looking to buy an entry level DSLR camera, or a low cost one, the Nikon D3100 will be on your list. I have used it thoroughly, and had more fun with the Nikon D3100 than I thought I would. The Nikon D3100 has improved on the D3000, which I did not like. With its size, 11 points of autofocus, 95% viewer coverage, great metering, ISO capabilities and 14 megapixel CMOS DX sensor, it’s a very capable camera .

Speculation has been abound on the interwebs about the death of the Four Thirds format of cameras and the embrace of the extremely popular Micro Four Thirds cameras. The Olympus E-5 is Olympus’s latest DSLR at the time of writing this posting, and it is perhaps one of the best DSLRs I’ve tested. This complete review of the Olympus E-5 is not only a compilation of the entire review that I’ve here on The Phoblographer, but will also include my experiences with it at the workplace. Finally, it is a desperate plea to Olympus to not kill the format, but instead find a different way to market it.

Just 2/3-stop separates these two images, with the reduced exposure from the camera meter's recommendation resulting in a much more dramatic, scene.
Light metering is one of the black arts of photography: one of those mysterious skills possessed only by the elite of the photographers who understand the yin and yang of light and shade…or at least that’s what some would have you believe. It’s simply not true, and the basics of light metering are pretty simple.
