Exclusive Fuji Finepix F80 EXR Review at Neocamera
Wednesday, April 28th, 2010
Neocamera just published the world exclusive detailed review of the Fuji Finepix F80 EXR, the latest ultra-compact ultra-zoom to use EXR technology. EXR technology allows small-sensor cameras to produce outstanding images with low image noise and increased dynamic range. This technology already proved itself in the F200 EXR, the current image-quality champion of ultra-compacts. With the F80 EXR, Fuji has produced an ultra-zoom with a 10X wide-angle optical zoom lens in almost the same form-factor as the F200.
Just like its predecessor, the F80 EXR has manual control over exposure and dynamic range between 100% and 800% in EXR-DR mode. The three mode sensor can create high-resolution images with 12 megapixels, low-noise images with 6 megapixels and high-dynamic-range images at 6 megapixels. An additional Pro Low-Light mode used multi-frame capture to capture smooth images in even lower light. Go to the image gallery to see what it can do.

Digital Asset Management Software Reviews
Sunday, March 21st, 2010Neocamera just added the last review for the article series on digital asset management. There is now coverage of the DAM aspects of Adobe Photoshop Lightroom, Bibble 6 Pro, IDImager Professional, IMatch and PicaJet FX. Ultimately the conclusion and usefulness of these software is up to you but read our reviews to find out how the compare, what they can do and where their limitations are.
Photoshop Lightroom is a very sophisticated package, backed by the biggest sofware company among its peers but every other sofware has unique and useful features with a significantly different feature set. Ultimately, Lightroom is the most well rounded and the one with the least failiures but when compared to Bibble 5 Pro and PicaJet FX, Lightroom’s speed is embarassing and we certainly hope Adobe is making this one of their top priorities for Lightroom.
Bibble 5 Pro is very close to being ideal sofware for managing huge collections of images but its refusal to handle large images and the lack of response from their technical support department makes its future dubious for professional photographers.
PicaJetFX is a very interesting offerings for those who do not need the sophistication of the other DAM software reviewed here. It does extremely well in most of what it does and it does so at blazing speed, possibly making it one of the most compelling experiences among its peers.
IDimager Professional is an outstandingly complex software with unmatched capabilities. At the same time, and this is probably the price to pay for such features, IDimager is extremely slow and uninituitive in many areas.
The only true failure of this group of reviews is IMatch. This sofwate is both outdated and difficult to understand. Its incredibly sluggish performance is bound to drive away potential users, particularly those that need to manage substantial collections of images.
