Nikon has updated its photographer-friendly P series with the Coolpix P510 and P310. The P510 gains GPS and an extended zoom, now reaching from 24-1000mm equivalent. This 42x range is likely to be quite a challenge for its VR image stabilization system, so we’ll be interested to see how it performs. The P310 is a more subtle upgrade of the P300. Like the P510 it gains a 920k dot LCD and moves to using a 16MP back-lit CMOS sensor, with all the high-speed, multi-shot image processing modes it enables. More than any of the technology changes, we’re most interested to see the addition of a ‘Fn’ button on the front – if this can be set to control useful functions, it may improve the handling of an already pleasant-to-use camera. . . . → Read More: Nikon replaces high-end Coolpix ‘P’ series with P510 and P310

Adobe has announced a special offer allowing CS4 and CS3 users to upgrade to Creative Suite 6, when it is released. Adobe upset many CS4 and CS3 users when it announced that it was changing its upgrade policy so that only owners of the most recent versions would be entitled to discounted upgrade pricing. Although it has not formally gone back on this policy, the offer will provide an upgrade route for CS3 and CS4 users until December 31st 2012. Users of individual packages do not appear to benefit from the offer. Meanwhile, the company has also renamed its ‘Carousel’ cloud-based image processing, sharing and hosting service ‘Revel.’ The company says it ‘plans to offer additional photography solutions on the platform in the future, so the new branding more broadly encompasses these offerings.’ . . . → Read More: Adobe offers CS6 upgrade for CS3 and CS4 users, and rebrands Carousel Ricoh has just announced that the upcoming exhibition, PDN’s 30 2011: PDN’s choice of 30 photographers to watch , will be hosted by its Ring Cube Photo Gallery in Tokyo.

When the situation calls for quick switches though, you need to be ready to swap cameras with as little downtime as possible. That’s the idea behind the Fat Gecko Quick Release from Delkin. “Our Fat Gecko Mounts are being utilized across so many markets to capture unique shots and video footage that were otherwise unattainable in non-traditional environments such as action sports, racing, aviation and even feature films,” says Delkin’s Anna Lopez. “Saving time during a shoot can equal substantial cost savings in industries such as cinematography where every second counts. Besides the cost and time savings in professional markets, the Quick Release provides the convenience of quick attachment, detachment and precise leveling to the everyday shooter.” The quick release itself comes in at a price of $39 and will be available on July 11th. Additional top plates run $19 – installing one on each camera means nice fast switching. . . . → Read More: Fat Gecko Quick Release Lets You Swap Cameras in an Instant Panasonic has issued a firmware update for the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FP3 digital compact camera.

The video is absolutely surreal – it looks like nothing you’ve ever seen before. Terje, the photographer who captured the images, says that it was one of the most exhausting trips he’d ever attempted. It included long hikes, high altitude air and a sandstorm that blocked out the sun. The Teide Mountains in Spain are the subject of the video, with a focus on our galaxy and its movement in the sky. Terje used a Canon 5D MKII which has quickly become a favorite for HDSLR shooting and has even found its way into an episode of ‘House’ and a sequence for ‘Iron Man 2.’ The Mountain from TSO Photography on Vimeo . . . . → Read More: Time Lapse Shows Just How Good DSLR Videos Can Be The winners of the April 2011 Photography Blog Competition have been announced.
