	Pentax Optio RS1500 offers interchangeable faceplates Pentax today introduced their new Optio RS1500, a compact camera that lets you replace the front faceplate with your own custom design. It's the follow-up to the Optio RS1000 which did the same thing, but changing the faceplate no longer requires removing tiny screws. Here's more: Optio RS1500 [specs to come] 14 Megapixel CCD F3.2-5.9, 4X optical zoom lens, equivalent to 27.5 - 110 mm Interchangeable front faceplate, now easier to change (no more screws) Pentax includes ten designs in the box, and you can create your own using downloadable software and a color printer Black and orange lens rings included 3-inch LCD display with 230,000 pixels Point-and-shoot operation with auto scene selection Lots of special effects, like toy camera, retro, and sepia; camera can also create a 3-shot panorama without a computer Records videos at 1280 x 720 (30 fps) with sound 21.6MB onboard memory + SD/SDHC card slot Uses D-LI108 lithium-ion battery, 210 shots per charge Available in pearl white and silver Ships in April for $150 In other Pentax news, I have received a new K-r, complete with the correct 18 - 55 mm lens. I will be reshooting all of the gallery photos and test images as soon when the weather clears up (I have no idea when that will be, though). continue reading »

	Nikon D7000 gallery posted + updates on reviews I've posted the gallery for the Nikon D7000, which is the next camera to be reviewed here on the DCRP. I expect to reshoot a few of those photos before things are all said and done. In other news, I updated the Olympus XZ-1 review with new RAW conversions, which became possible after Adobe released a new version of their Camera Raw plug-in. I've also been informed that the lens I used in my Pentax K-r review is optically different than what ships with the camera, so at the very least I'll be updating some wording in the review, and I'm considering reshooting all of the gallery photos with the newer lens. One other project I'll be working on soon is a three-way comparison between three GPS-equipped ultra zoom cameras: the Canon PowerShot SX230 HS, Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS10, and Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX9V. If I can get my hands on the Fuji FinePix F550EXR, I'll throw that in as well.

	More purple fringing torture tunnels A couple of weeks ago I showed off a possible replacement for the purple fringing tunnel of doom photo that I can no longer take (background info here). I wanted to run a few more by you all today to get some feedback. These are all taken at a nearby private college, and I'm hoping that they'll be more accommodating than Stanford if I ask for permission to shoot there. But first, what do you think about the photos?
