Six Months With The Olympus OM-D E-M1 X Camera

I was one of the lucky fellows who received one of the pre-production models of the Olympus OM-D E-M1 X camera bodies. That was just about six months ago. I primarily ran tests with it the first six weeks I had it, partly because I had to keep it a secret that I had one. Once the camera was out in the wild, I began shooting with it almost exclusively, only using my Olympus OM-D E-M1 MK II as backup. Then, last month I traded in the MK II for a second Model X and that is all I use.

New Nik Collection 2 (By DxO) Officially Announced

Years ago, the Nik Collection was a big hit with the photo community. Then through a series of acquisitions and changes in the business, it was allowed to wither on the vine. DxO has resurrected the Nik Collection bringing it up to snuff for modern computers and empowering it with more than 40 new creative presets. It now offers high-resolution monitor support for Windows as well. In addition, the Nik Collection 2 now comes with DxO PhotoLab 2.3 ESSENTIAL Edition, DxO’s recently released advanced RAW photo editing software.
