The second new fisheye lens from Sigma is the 10mm F2.8 EX DC Fisheye HSM designed for APS-C sized sensors. This lens provides a 180° angle of view only when used with a Nikon DX sensor( Canon(1.6x): 167°, Sigma: 154° ). But unlike the 4.5mm fisheye, 10mm squeezes the frame into a standart rectangular format. Sigma 10mm offers a fast maximum aperture of f/2.8 and HSM focusing, and a minimum focus distance of 1.8cm giving a magnification ratio of 1:3.3.

Technical Specifications:

Sigma introduced the first true fisheye lens specially designed for using with APS-C sensors.

The new Sigma 4.5mm EX DC Circular fisheye HSM projects 180° circular image on the sensor, which makes it an ideal lens for Astrophotography and Aurora photography according to Sigma. Sigma offers a fast maximum aperture of f/2.8 and SLD Low dispersion optical elements for reduced aberrations. Sigma 4.5mm E DC has a minimum focusing distance of 13.5cm and a maximum magnification of 1:6.

We believe the owners of these lens surely can benefit from the creativity it provides besides the typical scientific usage areas. The lens will be available in Canon, Nikon and Sigma mounts.

Nikon D300 High ISO Photo Samples by Dave Einsel

After publishing of Nikon D3 ISO 25600 photos by Professional photographer Dave Einsel on his web page, this time he published Nikon D300 16 photos all shot during a high school football game.The photos have been cropped but not resized and had only level adjustments in PhotoShop CS2.

D300 ISO 3200 and ISO 6400 shots are a bit noisy but still much better compared to Nikon D200, there may be 1 stop to 2 stop improvement in my opinion. The level of details and sharpness is not as good as D3 but nobody expected it to be anyway. I personally can not wait to see the comparison of high ISO of images from Nikon D300 & D3, Canon 40D & 1D MarkIII and Sony Alpha A700 shot at the same conditions.

Canon's top of the line point&shoot camera Powershot G9, featuring a 12.1 Megapixel CCD sensor, DIGIC III Image processor, 6x zoom lens, improved face detection system, optical Image Stabilizer (IS) and an added RAW shooting capability was introduced one year after the successful predecessor Powershot G7. With its long-waited RAW shooting capability and added resolution, we expect GP to exceed the success of G7.

Here we listed the best and most detailed Powershot G9 reviews on the web with some additional sources.
