Photo Review

Panasonic has released details of a new ultra-wide angle lens for its Lumix G Series cameras that will be available in July 2022 from leading Australian photographic specialist retailers.

The latest firmware update (Version 3.0) for the Leica SL2-S enables the output of a Cinema 4K RAW video signal with up to 60 frames/second to an external recorder via HDMI.

Western Digital has a range of new SanDisk Professional storage products for photographers.

An affordably-priced, large-screen monitor with a fast IPS panel and high pixel density, which is designed for gaming but is also suitable for multi-media creators.

A versatile, 80-300mm equivalent telephoto zoom lens for M4/3 cameras with superior weather resistance plus a compact and relatively light weight form factor.

A second-generation model of a popular 24-80mm (35mm equivalent) zoom lens with much higher, IP53 standard weather resistance and improved performance.

Whether you’re starting from scratch or augmenting your current workspace, the basic tools you’ll need for a digital darkroom are a computer, a monitor screen and a printer. You’ll also need backing-up systems and, possibly, a scanner.

Memory cards are changing to meet the increasing need for data transfer speed and storage capacity.

Backing-up should be the first step in any image or video editing process.
