By David Kilpatrick, on May 18th, 2009 As the generation of Alpha 200, 300 and 350 reaches early retirement age it may be the time to grab bargains.

By David Kilpatrick, on November 25th, 2008 As expected, Adobe has again ‘broken’ the continuity of support for users of earlier versions of their Photoshop CS and Elements programs; the new ACR release to handle the forthcoming EOS 5D Mark II (which Canon tell us is not likely to be on sale in the UK before January) will require an upgrade to . . . → Read More: Adobe ACR 5.2 – for CS4 only
