Fujifilm’s FinePix S9000; A 9-Megapixel Superzoom Digicam With Low Light Bragging Rights
George Schaub  |  Jan 01, 2006  |  0 comments

By now Shutterbug readers know that we call cameras with integral (non-interchangeable) lenses digicams. This is not meant as denigration but as differentiation from digital SLRs. And usually, due in part to the volume of models and in main because of their sameness, we usually hold off on any type of digicam review, feeling readers will not be that interested in more than a...

Photographers’ Debate: Film Vs. Film, Digital Vs. Digital…And Digital Vs. Film (And JPEG Vs. Raw, While We’re At It)
George Schaub  |  Jan 01, 2006  |  0 comments

The title of this editorial sounds confusing, and confused, I know, but I am voicing here a mere mirror for our photographic times. There are so many options available these days, with each having its camp and cheerleaders, that it's little wonder that photographers might seem confused.

Multi-Image Flat-Bed Scanner Techniques; Getting Six (Or More) Scans For The Price Of One
Darryl C. Nicholas  |  Jan 01, 2006  |  0 comments

You may not think of Photoshop as being a flat-bed scanner tool, but it's way ahead of whatever is in second place.
