Today’s attention will be on the new D3200, a worthy replacement to the extremely popular entry-level D3100 Digital SLR. This isn’t just a camera for beginners though – with a 24.2 megapixel DX-format sensor and improved ISO range, it’s an exciting addition to an already impressive Nikon DSLR range.
Arguably the most anticipated camera in Nikon’s recent line up is the 36mp beast that is the D800. But it’s not been without it’s criticisms and sceptical response from some people. And if I’m honest, I was one of them! But, has handling the camera for myself changed that? In a word, YES.

The third generation of Pens sees a mature family emerge along with some big changes. It’s a firm reposte to the gathering pressure from a market which has grown at spectacular speed. The E-PL3 is at the heart of the third generation, can it be both high concept and easy going at the same time?
If you already use a D3s (or D3) you’ll feel right at home with the D4. It’s like an old friend, but one that’s been to the gym. There are subtle differences in the layout and overall form factor, and in fact it was explained to me that there are only three things shared between the older D3s and the new D4; the physical sensor size, the F mount and the 100% viewfinder coverage. Everything else has been redesigned.
In last month’s Gallery Competition we set the public a challenging theme of ‘The Great Outdoors’, a theme which we had hoped would get the entries flowing and we weren’t disappointed. We received a huge variety of wonderful photos – beautiful, rural, landscapes throughout the seasons, colourful wildlife, and nature in all its natural glory.

I tend to shoot my X100 in JPG mode purely because the image quality out of the camera is almost always useable and I don’t find myself wanting the extensibility that the RAW files may give me. I’ve shot this camera at 6400 ISO and the noise handling is just sublime.
As with almost everything in life and especially in the world of optics, there is no such thing as the perfect birding binocular and one size will not fit all, it is all about compromises and deciding what features are most important to you and your particular needs.
Whether you’d spotted it in the subtle curls of a fern or the roofs of houses, or maybe you created your own W by painting with light or creatively arranging your photography gear – we were completely blown away by the quality of the hundreds of entries we received!
First things first, I have been spoiled rotten having the opportunity to use a Graphics Tablet as part of my workflow (my day job) since about 2006 – so my expectations are already high for this latest instalment, well it has been a 3 year wait. What could Wacom deliver that is more than I could wish for?

Astronomy is one of the oldest of the Natural Sciences, if not the oldest, and one which can be taken up by practically anyone with very little knowledge or equipment from the outset.
