New Nikon Goodies Announced
 Nikon have upped the ante on the entry-level D-SLR front with the just-announced 24.2 megapixie D3200. As well as awesome still photography, this new unit also boasts 30fps 1080p video, with full time autofocus to keep moving subjects sharp during shooting. Although positioned in Nikon's entry level segment, it really doesn't look very entry level.... Next up is the Wireless Mobile Adapter WU-1a, which allows you to wirelessly transfer images to your smartphone (Android) and more, and, finally, there's the new AF-S 28mm f1.8G, a nice bright wide prime lens for both full frame (FX) and DX D-SLRs.

Ugh - P&V Makes Temporary Move...!
 This is fun (not). There needs to be some post-quake fixes done to the shop, and in order to action these we have to move out for a little while.... We'll remain in the Mall, but upstairs, where the photocopy shop used to be. You'll see signage in the Mall pointing you in the right direction. The shift starts Thursday 12th April, but we'll be keeping the tills running as best we can through the move. We apologise for any inconvenience, and appreciate your support. |

Olympus OMD EM-5
Update (15/5/12): How are the boys supposed to get some quality alone time with their new favourite toy if people keep buying them all...
The third shipment is now sold out, next shipment due soon. Don't miss out, place your orders now.
The Olympus OMD E-M5 is the first model in the new epoch-making OM Digital series. Featuring an integrated 1.44 megapixel electronic viewfinder, 16 megapixel LiveMOS image sensor and OLED touchscreen, it is the world’s fastest auto-focusing camera and is equipped with the world’s first five-axis image stabiliser integrated into its weather-proof alloy body.
This new camera has set a new benchmark in Micro Four Thirds system image quality. Once you add in its 9 frame-per-second shooting, blistering autofocus, RAW shooting capability, its customisability, its compact size and its splash-proof body, amongst other features, you're looking at a very competent unit that should be on the short-list of anyone looking for excellent quality in a bulk-free unit.

Photographer Spotlight
As we have all seen and heard before, anybody can claim to be a working photographer these days, with the terrific gear that is available. While the latest cameras do exceed many people's expectations, there is still a difference when the equipment is wielded by a corresponding degree of talent and experience. Eva Bradley's website showcases some examples of what we mean.

Just Thought You Should Know...
Yes, we're known as a top quality advanced high-tech digital photo lab - but did you know we're still processing and printing from all kinds of 'ancient' media. Yes, that means film!
- We still process C41 film onsite
- We still print from all types of film - even old 110s, and from 120 negs up to 6x9
- We can print your old B&W negs, even those really old ones you found in Nana's old boxes
- We can scan and digitise all your films, B&W, slides and slide films (and even fix up the scratches and other imperfections if you like)
- You don't even need to have the film! We can make digital copies of your old photos as well
- Video tapes and movie film transfers to DVD
- and, oh... We still even sell film!
As your old photos and film may well be deteriorating with age (as they do), it might be worth spending a rainy day to pick out those you can't afford to lose and have us print and/or digitise them - giving them a new lease of life. Just a thought...
