Inspiring ways to improve your photos
Promoted as the ‘Best brag book for sharing treasured memories’, the Digital Foci 8-inch Portable Digital Photo Book (Model PBK-080) promises to be useful to both amateur and professional photographers as well as business users. A development of the ubiquitous digital photo frame, this device takes a standard LCD screen and houses it in attractive leather-like covers. Digital photos, videos and business presentations can be displayed on the screen.
An easy-to-use 800 x 600-pixel, digital photo frame with a 4:3 display that is sharp with natural-looking colours.Unlike some recently-released digital photo frames, the DPF-K800A 8-inch Digitalk frame doesn’t include Bluetooth or WiFi support and is consequently competitively priced. The 16.3 x 12.3 mm TFT LCD screen sports a shiny black acrylic surround that is approximately 25mm wide at each side, 16mm at the top and 40mm at the bottom to accommodate the control panel.
If you’re really serious about the quality of the digital prints you make, you need to introduce colour management into your workflow. The tools required are a colorimeter for measuring the colours produced by your monitor and a spectrophotometer (or spectrocolorimeter) for measuring the colours produced by your printer. Together they enable you to make the picture you see on-screen emulate the output of your printer.
A competitively-priced, easy to use scanner for photographers with small volumes of images to digitise.Although not top of the range, the CanoScan CS5600F is a well-specified flatbed scanner with an attractive price tag and could appeal to everyday consumers who need to scan both reflective originals (such as documents and prints) and images on film. Capable of 4800 x 9600 dpi (dots/inch) resolution and up to 48-bit colour depth it has a built-in film adaptor that accepts up to six frames on 35mm filmstrip or four mounted 35mm slides at a time.
A compact GPS data logger for tagging image and video files with location information.Sony’s GPS-CS3KA data logger replaces the CS1 unit and is offered as an accessory for the company’s Cyber-shot cameras. However, it also works well with Alpha DSLRs and can be used with cameras from other manufacturers – as long as they record to SD, SDHC or Memory Stick Duo cards.
A combined magnifier and light source to make sensor cleaning safe and easy.If you’ve purchased a DSLR camera in the last couple of years there’s a good chance you’ve never needed to think about cleaning its sensor. Modern dust removal systems do a pretty good job of keeping sensors dust-free under normal shooting conditions. But owners of cameras without dust removal and photographers who shoot in dusty environments and change lenses frequently need a simple – and affordable – way to keep their camera sensors dust free. LensPen’s SK-1A SensorKlear Loupe could provide a partial solution.
A pocketable GPS data logger for travelling photographers and those who enjoy sharing photos via social websites.Although we’ve looked at several GPS data loggers in the past few years, we haven’t published reviews of them because they didn’t provide the features or functionality we felt most photographers require. However, the GiSTEQ Photo Trackr Mini comes close to meeting the needs of at least some Photo Review readers and is affordable and very portable.
A digital photo frame for displaying 3D stills and video clips from the Fujifilm FinePix Real 3D W1 camera.Designed to complement the FinePix Real 3D W1 camera, Fujifilm’s Real 3D V1 Digital Viewer looks a lot like many digital photo frames. With an 8-inch screen plus a clip-on stand and remote controller, it can display both 3D and normal 2D images. The frame is mains-powered and has a slot on the back that accepts SD/SDHC and xD-Picture Card cards. It also carries USB Type A and mini-USB sockets for direct playback of images from thumb drives, cameras or other devices.
