June 3, 2006 Nikon this week upgraded its 12.4 megapixel D2X digital SLR to become the D2xs and though the raw numbers remain the same apart from the larger 2.5” LCD screen, the release of two software packages to create and enhance camera usage were the real story. New Camera Control Pro software enables the remote control of Nikon digital SLRs from a personal computer which is cool but not nearly as groundbreaking as Nikon’s Image Authentication Software which can legally verify image authenticity for the media, insurance companies ad infinitum. Although the software only works with the D2xs, it’s a significant move forward for the digital photography business in general and we suspect that unless other manufacturers follow suit quickly, the D2xs will become a raging top seller due to this unique ability to determine whether an image has been processed or edited after being shot.

May 9, 2006 The photographic industry’s version of the 'Oscars', are the European Photo & Imaging Awards of the Technical Image Press Association (TIPA), and they’ve come earlier this year, having last been awarded in August 2005 at Photokina. Every year, TIPA editors vote for the best photo & imaging products introduced in Europe during the previous 12 months, taking into account innovation, the use of leading-edge technology, design and ergonomics of the products and, naturally, their ease of use and price/performance ratio. The main winners in the digital camera categories this year were the Canon EOS-5D (D-SLR Professional), Nikon D200 (D-SLR Expert), Nikon D50 (D-SLR Entry), Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ1 (D-Superzoom), Fujifilm Finepix F30 (D-Compact), Canon Digital Ixus 65 (Ultra Compact), the Hasselblad H2D-39 (Medium Format D-system) and the remarkable Sinar M system (High end professional camera system – PICTURED.)
