New 35mm SLR And Rangefinder Cameras
Short On Intros, But Tall On Tech
Peter K. Burian  |  Jun 01, 2004

Because the manufacturers are devoting the vast majority of their resources to developing digital equipment, we're seeing few new 35mm cameras. At PMA 2004 for example, only Canon and Konica Minolta announced new 35mm SLRs and not a single distributor showed a new rangefinder camera that...

Digital Printers And Papers
Creative Tools For The Digital Darkroom
Joe Farace  |  Jun 01, 2004

Tired of wimpy 13x19" prints? Find that 16x20" output is nice but just doesn't have the impact of say, 18x24"? HP's Designjet 130 printer produces larger sizes (up to 24") without unloading the standard tray, and the rear path accommodates thick media, too.

Software
Programs For Every Need
Joe Farace  |  Jun 01, 2004

There was all kinds of software at PMA 2004, but I would like to pass along some advice to would-be developers who want to get rich making under-$100 software for Windows that lets users manage, edit, print, and do all kinds of tricks. Fuggedaboutit. ACD Systems owns this market. While the Mac...
