Adobe cloud?

By PR admin | Published: August 24, 2011

Adobe may come out with some kind of a cloud solution for photographers that will allow synced access to their entire photo library on various devices (phone/tablet/computer):

“No matter which device is in your hand, you see your entire photo library. So those hundreds of photos you took while touring through Italy with your smartphone would also appear in the library on your tablet device and at home on your laptop…just like that.
At Adobe, we’re exploring solutions to get you there. And it should come as no surprise that we will also leverage the power of Photoshop editing technology for quick fixes along the way.”

Fujifilm X10

By PR admin | Published: August 24, 2011

As part of the latest Fujifilm X10 rumor, Gizmodo recently reported that a Fuji X50 camera was listed in the latest Promaster catalog. I have several readers who own the catalog, confirming to me that this was not the case and all this started as a joke on a forum. The original Fuji X10 specs I believe came from this post. The actual camera name will likely be X10 and it should be released next month. The new Fujifilm system camera with interchangeable lenses (based on the X100) will probably be released later in the year or in early 2012.

Will there be a second interchangeable lens camera system from Pentax?

By PR admin | Published: August 23, 2011

Quesabesde reminds us that Pentax still has to announce their second interchangeable lens camera that will have a larger APS-C sensor. They put the probability of such a new camera system at 50%. It is possible that Ricoh’s recent purchase of Pentax may have put those plans on hold. A recent Pentax roadmap did not have a second camera to be announced in the next few months.
