DxOMark

Innovations in digital camera technology have been made at a remarkable pace. New cameras are released almost every day and it is hard to even keep up with the different models. DxO Labs have a new DxOMark website which offers objective comparisons of new cameras, particularly digital SLRs and higher end compact cameras that shoot RAW images. The site is well worth visiting if you are considering purchasing a camera.

The Olympics You Didn't See

Here a great video from David Bernett about his experience covering the Olympic Games in Beijing. Both funny and informative, it is well worth watching. If you are interested in the daily work of a top photojournalist you should also read his blog.
