Il nuovo processore EXPEED 2 riesce ad offrire una migliore qualità dell’immagine e riesce a far risparmiare molto sulla batteria che già di per sè quella della D90 durava molto, ma Nikon garantisce per questa nuova D7000 ben 1050 scatti.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La velocità dell’otturatore passa ad 1/8000 ( 1/4000 D90 ) quindi tempi di posa brevissimi e il mirino garantisce il 100% della ripresa contro il 96 % della D90. Invece il Display è rimasto lo stesso.&lt;br /&gt;Il nuovo sistema di messa a fuoco AF l’hanno potenziato fino a 39 punti  di messa a fuoco contro i soli 11 della Nikon D90, anche se pensiamo che tanti punti di messa a fuoco possano solamente dare fastidio ad un vero fotografo che preferisce mettere a fuoco in un punto preciso e poi spostarsi per comporre l’immagine che più desidera.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nikon D7000 6 fotogrammi al secondo contro i 4,5 della Nikon D90.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hanno potenziato anche il lato video, che in questa troviamo la possibilità di girare video in FULL-HD (1920 x 1080 a 24 fps), la D90 li realizzava solo in HD.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;E’ stato dato anche più spazio alla memoria infatti qui sono previsti due SLOT di memoria per schede SD/SDHC/SDXC, in più è possibile gestire dove immagazzinare le immagini e i video.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Queste le grandi novità della Nuova Nikon D7000.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7890444354702833061-7081702660323675469?l=gavrielt.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://gavrielt.blogspot.com/feeds/7081702660323675469/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7890444354702833061&amp;postID=7081702660323675469' title='1 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7890444354702833061/posts/default/7081702660323675469'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7890444354702833061/posts/default/7081702660323675469'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://gavrielt.blogspot.com/2011/07/reflex-nikon-d7000-vs-d90-comparazione.html' title='Reflex: Nikon D7000 vs D90 comparazione e recensione'/><author><name>Gabriele Tolisano</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00418927807679947477</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ufVW4_TSiWs/S4ZKiQVSXYI/AAAAAAAAAK0/Tj08zzPaXPU/S220/winter+5.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-zqERZ-Q0mBQ/ThhvQiF0UcI/AAAAAAAAAXg/QLSfTTWLF3E/s72-c/2nikon_d90_vs_nikon_d7000.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7890444354702833061.post-7648152013821892193</id><published>2011-07-09T17:00:00.002+02:00</published><updated>2011-07-09T17:04:00.291+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Reflex: Canon EOS 3D e 5D Mark III</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-HTojjGCyQ1o/ThhtyxSywtI/AAAAAAAAAXY/WWkztk8KcV8/s1600/canon5dmk211.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 169px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-HTojjGCyQ1o/ThhtyxSywtI/AAAAAAAAAXY/WWkztk8KcV8/s400/canon5dmk211.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5627368453392483026" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Canon EOS 3D. Di questo modello se ne sente parlare da tanti anni, fin dal 2004, ma non si è mai concretizzato nulla. Ora forse le cose stanno per cambiare, ma essendo un modello ormai entrato nella mitologia bisogna prendere ogni indiscrezioni con un bel paio di pinze.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Secondo quanto si sente in giro sembra che Canon possa unire le due linee della 1D in una singola reflex e far uscire questo modello che avrebbe una nuova tecnologia del sensore e dovrebbe arrivare nel 2012.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Se questo fosse vero allora per la Canon 5D mark II si prospetta una vita ancora più lunga capace di arrivare ai 4 anni per essere sostituita nell’estate del 2012 con un modello, Canon EOS 5D Mark III, che dovrebbe montare un sensore molto simile a quello di cui sarà dotata la Canon 1Ds mark IV. Quattro anni per una reflex, quanto di alto livello, sono veramente tanti, ma basterà solo qualche mese per scoprire la verità.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7890444354702833061-7648152013821892193?l=gavrielt.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://gavrielt.blogspot.com/feeds/7648152013821892193/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7890444354702833061&amp;postID=7648152013821892193' title='0 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7890444354702833061/posts/default/7648152013821892193'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7890444354702833061/posts/default/7648152013821892193'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://gavrielt.blogspot.com/2011/07/reflex-canon-eos-3d-e-5d-mark-iii.html' title='Reflex: Canon EOS 3D e 5D Mark III'/><author><name>Gabriele Tolisano</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00418927807679947477</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ufVW4_TSiWs/S4ZKiQVSXYI/AAAAAAAAAK0/Tj08zzPaXPU/S220/winter+5.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-HTojjGCyQ1o/ThhtyxSywtI/AAAAAAAAAXY/WWkztk8KcV8/s72-c/canon5dmk211.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7890444354702833061.post-2627231618018875528</id><published>2011-04-26T23:40:00.013+02:00</published><updated>2011-04-27T00:24:21.887+02:00</updated><title type='text'>PARK WORLD TOUR ORIENTEERING MOC TOUR Sicily 2011 Free Download Photo High Resolution PWT</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ZI-lT1YX1mc/TbdFxKxQwiI/AAAAAAAAAWc/rCX3XFzfJls/s1600/202.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right;

Abbiamo contattato Gabriele Viale organizzatore dell'evento per la asd Park World Tour Italia, in collaborazione con i comuni di Castelvetrano (capofila), Gibellina, Sciacca, Coni Sicilia e Csen Italia, al quale abbiamo posto qualche domanda conclusiva, in esclusiva per i lettori di Trapanicronaca.it. &lt;br /&gt;Una richiesta di chiarimento: l'Orienteering è una disciplina olimpica? Se si a Londra 2012 verrà inserita? &lt;br /&gt;"L'orienteering non è ancora disciplina olimpica, però è l'obiettivo principale della federazione internazionale, il sogno olimpico potrebbe essere coronato con le olimpiadi del 2020" esordisce Gabriele Viale. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Moc 2011, quali le novità tecniche di rilievo nell'edizione 2011? &lt;br /&gt;"Le novità tecniche del Campionato del Mediterraneo 2011 sono state le aree di gara completamente diverse l'una dalle altre e così particolari che hanno permesso di offrire dei percorsi di gara unici: la prima tappa corsa dentro il centro storico di Sciacca caratterizzato da un vero labirinto di stradine e viuzze reso impegnativo dai continui sali scendi; la seconda tappa nel Cretto di Burri richiedeva una concentrazione di lettura della mappa altissima permettendo il fondo di cemento alte velocità di corsa , la terza tappa a Selinunte era caratterizzata da continue variazioni di ritmo dovute alla corsa su terreno sabbioso, mista a sterrato". &lt;br /&gt;Atleti nordici primi attori per una disciplina che nasce nei loro territori. Quanto e se hanno inciso i fattori climatici/ambientali in questa edizione? "Il senso dell'orientamento per gli atleti nordici si può dire sia innato, dovuto proprio alla necessità di spostarsi in passato in grandi spazi/foreste senza grandi punti di riferimento. Quindi la loro abitudine alla lettura della mappa ha fatto comunque la differenza. Direi che le belle giornate di sole non hanno influito sulla prestazione atletica, ma hanno sicuramente contribuito a rendere piacevole il soggiorno in Sicilia degli atleti". &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Una sua valutazione finale sull'evento sportivo alla luce dell'indubbio successo? &lt;br /&gt;"Siamo soddisfatti. I commenti dei partecipanti hanno sicuramente gratificato tutti i soggetti (pubblici e privati) che si sono impegnati per la migliore riuscita della manifestazione. Era importante  partire bene con questo primo evento di caratura internazionale e far si che tutti questi atleti potessero diventare degli "ambasciatori" nello loro nazioni, delle bellezze e della grande ospitalità di questa bella terra di Sicilia".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Un territorio che si conferma idoneo per paesaggi, location ed  strutture ad ospitare altre edizione future, ci potrebbe anticipare  qualcosa per la prossima edizione o è ancora troppo presto per una edizione in provincia di Trapani con altre tappe nel 2012? &lt;br /&gt;"Puntiamo ora ad una seconda edizione internazionale nel 2012 con il raddoppio dei partecipanti. Importante partire fin da subito ed iniziare da questa estate la promozione internazionale. Solo programmando per tempo potremmo essere nuovamente vincenti".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Programma:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Orientarsi tra l’arte classica e moderna”&lt;br /&gt;La novità della 7 edizione del MOC – Campionato Mediterraneo Open di corsa orientamento&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La 7 edizione del MOC – Mediterranean Open Championship si correrà tra i monumenti e l’arte della Sicilia occidentale.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ARTE&lt;br /&gt;Arte Classica: Parco archeologico di Selinunte&lt;br /&gt;Selinunte era una antica città greca sulla costa sud-occidentale della Sicilia, tra le valli dei fiumi Belice e Modione. Nel sito archeologico sono presenti cinque templi intorno all'acropoli.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Arte Moderna: Cretto di Burri - Gibellina&lt;br /&gt;Gibellina nuova nasce con il contributo di numerosi artisti dopo il terremoto del Belice (1968). I resti del terremoto sono ancora visibili, in parte sotto il Cretto di Alberto Burri, gigantesco monumento della morte realizzato sopra le macerie. Dall'alto l'opera appare come una serie di fratture di cemento sul terreno, il cui valore artistico risiede nel congelamento della memoria storica di un paese. Il cretto è una tra le opere d'Arte contemporanea più estese al mondo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ORIENTEERING&lt;br /&gt;L’organizzazione del MOC è come sempre affidata all'Associazione Sportiva Dilettantistica Park World Tour Italia, in collaborazione con il CONI Sicilia, CSEN, Regione Siciliana, Parco Archeologico di Selinunte, Provincia di Trapani, Comuni di Castelvetrano, Gibellina e Sciacca.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Il MOC 2011 si assegnerà sommando i tempi di tre tappe:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;25 marzo - centro storico di Sciacca (Sprint)&lt;br /&gt;26 marzo - Cretto di Burri/Gibellina (Sprint)&lt;br /&gt;27 marzo - Parco Archeologico di Selinunte/Castelvetrano (Middle)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Impianti cartografici di nuova realizzazione a cura del cartografo svedese: Claes Nideborn&lt;br /&gt;Tracciatore: Jaroslav Kacmarcik (già tracciatore dei Mondiali 2008 in Repubblica Ceca)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dal 20 al 24 marzo è inoltre previsto un training camp focalizzato sulle sprint e curato del coach finlandese, il pluricampione del Mondo Janne Salmi.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I PROTAGONISTI&lt;br /&gt;I top runners presenti al MOC 2011: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;UOMINI&lt;br /&gt;Daniel Hubmann - Svizzera - tre volte campione del mondo&lt;br /&gt;Audun Weltzien - Norvegia - argento nella staffetta ai Mondiali di Trondheim 2010&lt;br /&gt;Øystein Kvaal Østerbø - Norvegia - vincitore di Campionati Nordici, tappe PWT e Blodslitet &lt;br /&gt;Mårten Boström - Finlandia - bronzo ai campionati europei di Roskilde 2004&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;DONNE&lt;br /&gt;Annika Billstam - Svezia - tre medaglie ai campionati del mondo &lt;br /&gt;Lena Eliasson - Svezia - bronzo nella sprint ai Mondiali di Kiev 2007&lt;br /&gt;Emma Johansson - Svezia - vincitrice della Venla 2008 con il club Domnarvets GoIF&lt;br /&gt;Elise Egseth - Norvegia - campionessa del mondo Junior nel 2005&lt;br /&gt;Angela Wild - Svizzera - bronzo ai campionati nordici 2005 e in due prove di Coppa del Mondo&lt;br /&gt;Rahel Friederich - Svizzera - nazionale&lt;br /&gt;Ines Brodmann - Svizzera - nazionale&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I migliori italiani:&lt;br /&gt;Manuel Negrello e Nicole Scalet (Us Primiero)&lt;br /&gt;Gli atleti del gruppo sportivo forestale Alessio Tenani ed Emiliano Corona&lt;br /&gt;La medaglia di bronzo alle universiadi: Michela Guizzardi (Cus Bologna)&lt;br /&gt;I fratelli Andrea e Marco Seppi (Semiperdo - Cus Bologna)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7890444354702833061-2627231618018875528?l=gavrielt.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://www.facebook.com/pages/Gabriele-Tolisano-Photography/172505446108499' title='PARK WORLD TOUR ORIENTEERING MOC TOUR Sicily 2011 Free Download Photo High Resolution PWT'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://gavrielt.blogspot.com/feeds/2627231618018875528/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7890444354702833061&amp;postID=2627231618018875528' title='0 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7890444354702833061/posts/default/2627231618018875528'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7890444354702833061/posts/default/2627231618018875528'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://gavrielt.blogspot.com/2011/04/park-world-tour-orienteering-moc-tour.html' title='PARK WORLD TOUR ORIENTEERING MOC TOUR Sicily 2011 Free Download Photo High Resolution PWT'/><author><name>Gabriele Tolisano</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00418927807679947477</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ufVW4_TSiWs/S4ZKiQVSXYI/AAAAAAAAAK0/Tj08zzPaXPU/S220/winter+5.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ZI-lT1YX1mc/TbdFxKxQwiI/AAAAAAAAAWc/rCX3XFzfJls/s72-c/202.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7890444354702833061.post-3000190046648895675</id><published>2011-01-23T10:20:00.001+01:00</published><updated>2011-01-23T10:20:13.884+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Nikon D3100 Full Review by Imaging Resources</title><content type='html'>&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;

a combination that allows both higher resolution and 1080p movie capture at 24 fps. Standard ISO sensitivities range from 100 to 3,200 equivalents, with the ability to extend this range as high as ISO 12,800 if needed.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;The Nikon D3100 adds today's must-have Live View and Movie modes, both of which were conspicuously absent on the D3000. Marking another first for a Nikon digital SLR, the D3100 can capture progressive scan 1,920 x 1,080 pixel movies -- commonly known as 1080p or Full HD -- at a rate of 24 frames per second. Perhaps even more unusually, the Nikon D3100 provides full-time autofocusing capability both in Live View mode and during movie capture. The Nikon D3100 also offers basic in-camera movie editing capabilities.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;The D3100 is the first Nikon digital SLR to support the latest generation of Secure Digital cards, known as SDXC. And the Nikon D3100 adds both an input for an optional GPS accessory, and a high-definition HDMI video output -- two ports that were absent on the D3000, but have been included on all other recent Nikon DSLRs.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;The Nikon D3100's burst rate is unchanged, at three frames per second. The D3100 also retains the same Multi-CAM 1000 eleven-point autofocus module and 420-pixel RGB 3D Color Matrix II metering sensor that featured in the D3000, as well as Nikon's Dust Reduction and Picture Control Systems. The D3000's friendly Guide mode was also retained, but with some tweaks to make it more approachable.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;The Nikon D3100 shipped in the USA from mid-September 2010, in a kit that includes an AF-S NIKKOR 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR lens with optical image stabilization. The Nikon D3100 has an estimated selling price of US$699.95.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;h3 style="font-size: 17px; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 5px;"&gt;Nikon D3100&lt;br /&gt;User Report&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;by Mike Tomkins and Shawn Barnett&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;The entry-level Nikon D3000 digital SLR has sold well, according to Nikon, since it was introduced in mid-2009; and after a modest $50 decrease in list pricing at the start of this year, spent several months as the dominant seller at its pricepoint. While the Nikon D3100 isn't a direct replacement for the D3000, with the latter slated to continue in Nikon's lineup for the time being, the new digital SLR retains a similar form factor and much of the feature set of its predecessor, along with significant upgrades in a number of areas.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Look and feel&lt;/b&gt;. The Nikon D3100's body is all-new, but its dimensions and weight are similar to that of the D3000: 4.9 x 3.8 x 2.9 inches (124.5 x 96.5 x 73.7mm) and about 1.1 pounds (511g) without lens, or 1.7 pounds (777g) with the 18-55mm VR kit lens. Since most controls have similar placement, the new body will offer a shallow learning curve for D3000 and Nikon D40 owners. Several new controls have been added, both for new features, and quicker access to existing ones.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center" style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/D3100/ZURFRONT.JPG" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" height="478" src="http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/D3100/ZURFRONT-S.JPG" width="575" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;The Nikon D3100's grip is deeper, compared to that of the D3000, and the thumb grip on the rear of the camera has simultaneously been updated with a small rubber panel. These changes make the D3100's body more comfortable to hold -- especially for photographers with larger hands -- and provide a steadier, more reassuring grip.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;Like most recent Nikon digital SLRs, the D3100's cut is considerate of the left hand, with a slight rounding of the edge, seen in the lower right of the picture above. This makes it just a little more comfortable to rest the Nikon D3100 in your left palm as your fingers reach out to adjust the zoom and focus rings.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;Looking at its front panel, a new three-hole microphone grille can be seen just above the D3100 logo, for use with the camera's new Full HD movie mode. Absent, though, is the infrared remote receiver in the handgrip. Unlike the D3000, the D3100 only makes provision for cabled remotes, and cannot function with an infrared remote.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center" style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/D3100/ZURTOP.JPG" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" height="678" src="http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/D3100/ZURTOP-S.JPG" width="575" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;The Nikon D3100's Mode dial features the same thirteen operating modes as the D3000. Beneath it, jutting out from the right, lies a new Drive Mode switch, which allows the D3100 to be quickly switched between Single, Continuous, Self-Timer, and Quiet modes without needing to resort to the camera's menu system.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;Like the D3000 before it, the Nikon D3100 is shipping with Nikon's 18-55mm VR image-stabilized lens. It's an upgrade from the non-image-stabilized kit lens bundled with earlier models, but there's an element of compromise in this change, because the VR kit lens lacks the Extra-low Dispersion glass found on the non-VR equivalent, which is a shame.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center" style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/D3100/ZURBACK.JPG" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" height="457" src="http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/D3100/ZURBACK-S.JPG" width="575" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;The remainder of the Nikon D3100's new controls are found on its rear panel. At the top right corner of the LCD display is a new dedicated Live View switch. It's a momentary switch that rotates to the right to enter and exit Live View mode. When activated, the Nikon D3100 raises its mirror and opens the mechanical shutter to expose its image sensor, then clocks off a continuous data stream to provide a Live View on the rear-panel LCD. Whenever the Live View mode is active, the button at the center of the Live View switch acts as a dedicated Movie Record button: press to start recording, press again to stop.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;The Info Edit button (marked with an&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;i&lt;/b&gt;) is also a new addition to the entry-level line, as it previously shared a button with the Zoom-in button. The apparent reason for the change is that the Zoom button, in addition to offering zoom in Playback mode, now provides the ability to access a magnified view when using the new Live View mode, so the Info Edit button needed its own control. It also brings the D3100 in line with other recent Nikon DSLRs, with the D3000's shared Zoom /&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;i&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;button having been the sole exception in recent memory.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;The Nikon D3100 retains the same 3.0-inch diagonal TFT LCD from the D3000, with a display resolution of 230,000 dots. This equates roughly to a 320 x 240 pixel array, with each pixel constituting three separate red, green, and blue dots. One further change on the Nikon D3100's rear is the addition of a nine-hole speaker grille at the lower right corner, for use with the new movie mode. To accommodate the speaker, Nikon has moved the card access lamp somewhat closer to the LCD display.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;Finally a diopter adjustment dial juts out from the upper right of the optical viewfinder's rubber eyecup, just as it does on the D90 and D300S, but not on the D3000 or D5000. Diopter adjustment range remains the same as the D3000's, at -1.7 to +0.5m&lt;sup&gt;-1&lt;/sup&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;The remaining external differences of note between the Nikon D3100 and its predecessor are to be found on its left side. The small compartment door that housed the D3000's USB and standard definition video outputs has grown to encompass almost half the left side of the body, and now houses two additional connectors alongside those from the D3000.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="photo-nb right" style="background-color: white; float: right; font-size: smaller; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 6px; width: 134px;"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" height="400" src="http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/D3100/ZCONNECTIVITY.JPG" width="134" /&gt;&lt;div class="caption-nb-long" style="font-size: 10px; font-style: italic; font-weight: normal; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Connectivity&lt;/b&gt;. The Nikon D3100 offers Accessory (top) and HDMI (third from top) connectors, as well as the USB (second from top) and standard-def video (bottom) connectors from the D3000.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;A new Accessory port allows connection with an optional GPS receiver unit, meaning that all Nikon DSLRs but the D3000 offer GPS connectivity. The same port is used for an optional MC-DC2 remote cord. There's also a new high definition HDMI port, which supports the Consumer Electronics Control (HDMI-CEC) standard, allowing certain playback functions to be controlled through an attached high definition display's remote control unit.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Sensor and processor&lt;/b&gt;. On the inside, the Nikon D3100 sports the pairing of a newly developed, Nikon-designed DX-format CMOS image sensor, and a new generation of Nikon's EXPEED image processor. The sensor size -- roughly equivalent to that of a frame of APS-C film -- is unchanged, but where the D3000's CCD imager offered 10.2-megapixel resolution, the Nikon D3100's CMOS chip now provides 14.2 megapixels (4,608 x 3,072) from its 14.8-megapixel sensor. That makes the D3100 the third-highest-resolution Nikon DSLR behind the 24.5-megapixel, FX-format, D3X professional DSLR and the 16.2-megapixel, DX Format, D7000 prosumer model -- at least for the time being. With that said, the difference in resolution between the D3100 and the bulk of Nikon's DSLR lineup at twelve megapixels is relatively modest, with only a little over 7% more linear resolution available from the fourteen megapixel imager.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;While burst speed is unchanged from the D3000, the combination of a new image sensor and image processor has brought an increase in sensitivity for the D3100, which offers ISO sensitivities from 100 to 3,200 equivalents in 1 EV steps, with the ability to increase this to ISO 6,400 equivalent using the Hi-1 setting, or ISO 12,800 equivalent with the Hi-2 position. The Nikon D3100 can shoot image bursts at three frames per second. Just like the D3000, the Nikon D3100 can shoot not only JPEG or .NEF RAW image files, but can also simultaneously record each image in both formats. Three JPEG compression levels are available, although only the highest quality Fine compression level is available when shooting in RAW+JPEG mode.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="photo-nb left" style="background-color: white; float: left; font-size: smaller; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 12px; margin-top: 6px; width: 218px;"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" height="250" src="http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/D3100/ZSDXC.JPG" width="218" /&gt;&lt;div class="caption-nb-long" style="font-size: 10px; font-style: italic; font-weight: normal; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Storage&lt;/b&gt;. As well as Secure Digital and SDHC cards, the D3100 is the first Nikon DSLR to support SDXC cards.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;The Nikon D3100 records images not only on Secure Digital and SDHC cards, but also on the latest generation of SDXC cards. Compared to SDHC cards, which are limited to 32GB capacity, currently available 64GB SDXC cards can provide twice as much storage, and the newer format will eventually offer even greater capacities. (The theoretical limit is two terabytes, although physical constraints will keep actual SDXC capacities well below this level for the foreseeable future.)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Lens mount&lt;/b&gt;. Like the D3000 before it, the Nikon D3100 sports an AF-S lens mount, which lacks autofocus support for the older AF lenses whose focus mechanisms were driven from the camera. These lenses have what looks like a little screwdriver slot on their mounting flange that couples with a protruding, screwdriver-looking shaft on the camera body. A motor in the camera body is thus required to drive the lens mechanics to adjust focus.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;More recent Nikkor lenses have motors built into the lens body, which tend to be both faster and quieter than the old-style drive system, as well as allowing the camera body to be lighter, smaller and cheaper. These newer lenses carry an AF-S or AF-I designation in their name, and are the only types of lenses the D3100 can autofocus with. CPU-equipped lenses lacking built-in focus motors can be used in manual focus mode, and type G or D lens types will also support full 3D color matrix metering for more accurate exposures, particularly when flash is being used. (You can tell CPU-equipped lenses by the set of five electrical contacts arrayed on the side of the lens flange.)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="photo-nb right" style="background-color: white; float: right; font-size: smaller; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 6px; width: 220px;"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" height="165" src="http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/D3100/OVF.png" width="220" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Focus and Exposure&lt;/b&gt;. The Nikon D3100 shares the same Multi-CAM 1000 phase-detection autofocus sensor module that's previously appeared in the D3000 and D5000, among others. The Multi-CAM 1000 module offers 11 focusing points, of which the center point is a cross-type sensor. While the AF sensor itself is unchanged, Nikon has updated the viewfinder point display. In the D3000, the approximate AF point locations were indicated with dense black marks in the viewfinder. For the Nikon D3100, these have been replaced with much fainter markings, illuminated by single LEDs. One further change to the viewfinder display, perhaps related to this change, is that the Nikon D3100 lacks the on-demand grid display function from the D3000.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;The Nikon D3100 also retains the D3000's Scene Recognition System, 3D Tracking capability, and selection of auto-area, single-point, and dynamic-area AF modes. The Multi-CAM 1000 system integrates the AF sensor data with information from the 420-pixel RGB 3D Color Matrix II metering sensor, allowing the system to better track objects moving through the scene. The Multi-CAM 1000 sensor has a detection range of -1 to +19 EV at ISO 100 / 68°F. The selection of exposure modes is unchanged from the Nikon D3000, with the D3100 offering Full Auto, Program AE, Manual, Aperture Priority, and Shutter Priority modes, as well as a selection of six scene modes -- Portrait, Landscape, Child, Sports, Macro, and Night Portrait. Operation of the Auto exposure mode has been changed, however, as the D3100 will now automatically pick a scene type from among the six scene modes when first entering Auto mode. Metering modes include matrix, center-weighted (weight of 75% given to 8mm circle in center of frame), and spot (2.5% of frame centered on selected focus point).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="photo-nb right" style="background-color: white; float: right; font-size: smaller; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 6px; width: 331px;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/D3100/ZBEAUTYFLASH.JPG" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img align="right" alt="" border="0" height="331" hspace="5" src="http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/D3100/ZBEAUTYFLASH-S.JPG" vspace="5" width="300" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;Available shutter speeds range from 30 seconds to 1/4,000, with flash sync at 1/200 second. As with the D3000 and D5000 before it, the shutter mechanism included in the Nikon D3100 is rated at a lifetime of 100,000 cycles. Exposure compensation of +/- 5 EV is available in 1/3 EV steps, and the D3100 also offers flash exposure compensation of -3 to +1 EV with the same step size. Flash modes include Forced, Slow Sync, Rear-curtain Sync, Red-eye Reduction, and Slow Sync with Red-eye Reduction. The flash itself is the same as that used in the D3000, and is fairly powerful, with a guide number of 12 meters or 39 feet at ISO 100 in auto mode, extending slightly to 13 meters (43 feet) in Manual mode.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Dust control&lt;/b&gt;. The Nikon D3100 includes the company's three-pronged strategy for controlling dust on the image sensor. Nikon's Dust Reduction System uses vibration to shake dust off the low-pass filter, whereupon the mirror chamber design causes an air flow with each shutter release that carries dust to a capture receptacle. The final part of the approach requires the optional Nikon Capture NX 2 software, and involves creation of a reference photo that is used to identify the location of stubborn dust specks. These can then be replaced by automatically interpolating data from areas of the image adjacent to the dust.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="photo-nb left" style="background-color: white; float: left; font-size: smaller; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 12px; margin-top: 6px; width: 98px;"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" height="150" src="http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/D3100/ZLVMOVIE.JPG" width="98" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Live View / Video.&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;Perhaps the main area in which Nikon's earlier D3000 lags behind its current-day competition is in the absence of either Live View or movie capture capabilities. Both functions still prove somewhat divisive, with some photographers finding them an unnecessary, little-used distraction, and others greatly enjoying the ability to frame images in the same manner as they would with a compact camera, or to shoot movies with the same versatility (in terms of both interchangeable lenses and shallow depth of field effect) that SLR photography makes possible in still imaging, something most dedicated camcorders can't offer. The absence of video is probably the lesser evil, as arguably most video-capable DSLRs haven't proven ready for consumers, thanks to the absence of continuous autofocus capabilities. However, there's little question that with a generation of photographers now strongly accustomed to framing images on their LCD, Live View is simply a must-have feature even in a consumer digital SLR these days.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;The Nikon D3100 corrects both oversights, with numerous changes that combine to provide a genuinely useful Live View function, and a Movie mode with impressive High-Definition capabilities, although still with one important drawback versus shooting with a dedicated camcorder. As previously noted, the Nikon D3100 now includes a dedicated switch on its rear panel that allows Live View shooting to be initiated without entering the camera's menu system. The other big news for Live View shooting is that the Nikon D3100 now provides full-time autofocus in Live View mode. Autofocus starts immediately when the mode is entered, and continues until the shutter button is half-pressed. At this point, focus is locked until the shutter button is released, or half-pressed a second time to resume continuous AF operation.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;Perhaps even more unusually, full-time autofocus is also available during video capture, albeit at the expense of clearly audible focusing noise being picked up on the movie's audio track. This is perhaps less of an issue for consumer videographers, who may be willing to put up with the noise in return for the ability to focus during movie capture. The ability to pull focus manually isn't an easy art to learn, after all. It's certainly something to be aware of, though, and with no external microphone connectivity, there's no way to isolate the AF noise, short of recording sound on a separate device and replacing the audio track in post-processing.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="photo-nb right" style="background-color: white; float: right; font-size: smaller; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 6px; width: 250px;"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" height="180" src="http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/D3100/screens/DSC_5108.jpg" width="250" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;The Nikon D3100's Movie mode is also unique among Nikon DSLRs for another reason. The D3100 is the first Nikon DSLR to offer progressive scan 1,920 x 1,080 pixel recording, or what's commonly known as 1080p / "Full HD" video. There's a slight catch, in that for Full HD, the Nikon D3100 can only record at a rate of 24 frames per second (23.976 fps), whereas at 1,280 x 720 there's a choice of 24, 25, or 30 frames per second. Whether the reduced frame rate at full resolution will prove a drawback will depend on your intended use for the video. The only other resolution available is 640 x 424 at 24 fps (23.976 fps).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;The Nikon D3100's movies are captured using MPEG-4 AVCHD / H.264 compression, with the file format being .MOV. Each video clip has a maximum length of ten minutes, and the Nikon D3100 does provide for basic in-camera editing of videos, with the ability to trim unwanted content from both the start and end of each clip. The Nikon D3100's internal microphone is monaural, and with no external microphone connectivity, there's again no way to capture stereo audio without swapping the audio for that from an external device in post processing. Movie capture is started and stopped with a new dedicated Movie Shutter button, located in the center of the Live View switch on the rear panel.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;With the addition of movie recording to the D3100, Nikon has dropped the stop-motion movie function that was found in the D3000.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="photo-nb left" style="background-color: white; float: left; font-size: smaller; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 12px; margin-top: 6px; width: 250px;"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" height="180" src="http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/D3100/ZGUIDE.GIF" width="250" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Guide mode&lt;/b&gt;. The Nikon D3100 further builds on the user friendly Guide mode from the D3000, which is accessed from the Guide Mode position on the Mode dial. When placed in this mode, the Nikon D3100 will greet users with a friendly graphical interpretation of the menu system, with icons labeled Shoot, View/Delete, and Set up. When in the Shoot menu, the photographer is asked a number of questions, and the Nikon D3100 then offers guidance on what to set -- and importantly, why each suggestion is being made. A helpful change from the D3000's Guide mode is the addition of reference photos that demonstrate the effect of settings being applied. For example, as shown in the screenshot (left), when the Guide mode recommends shutter adjustment, it also offers an image of a child kicking a football as an example of the adjustment's effect. As the shutter speed is changed, the reference photo is updated, showing the motion blur at slower shutter speeds, and a sharper image at faster shutter speeds. For aperture adjustment, similar images are available, with the level of background blur changing as the aperture value is adjusted.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;Another change to the Guide mode is that, when the user has stepped through the process of answering questions and adjusting their setup per the camera's recommendations, the Nikon D3100 will now ask whether the user wants to shoot a still image using the optical viewfinder or Live View functions, or capture a video. Depending on the answer, the camera will be automatically placed in the correct mode.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="photo-nb right" style="background-color: white; float: right; font-size: smaller; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 6px; width: 180px;"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" height="135" src="http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/D3100/ZNEWMENUSTYLE.GIF" width="180" /&gt;&lt;div class="caption-nb-long" style="font-size: 10px; font-style: italic; font-weight: normal; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Refreshed GUI&lt;/b&gt;. This animation shows the difference between the menu styling of last year's Nikon D3000, and that of the new D3100. (Note that the camera model number is identified in the 'Playback folder' field.)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;While the remainder of the menu system retains the same basic layout as in the D3000, the visual styling of the menus has also been updated. It's a relatively subtle change, but the net result is that the menu system feels cleaner and more modern.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;In-camera editing&lt;/b&gt;. As with the D3000, the Nikon D3100 offers a Retouch menu that lets users tweak images to their tastes after capture. Compared to that from the D3000, the Nikon D3100's Retouch menu offers several new functions -- straighten, distortion control, fisheye, and perspective control. As the names suggest, these all correct for (or intentionally apply) distortions to images. The straighten function corrects for tilted horizons, while perspective control fixes converging vertical lines, such as you'd expect when tilting the camera upwards to fit a tall building into the frame. The Nikon D3100 also retains the D3000's ability to process RAW files in-camera, and retains Retouch functions such as trimming, color balance, and red-eye correction, as well as the miniature, filter, and monochrome effects from the D3000.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;Like the D3000 before it, the Nikon D3100 offers not only a D-Lighting function that adjusts shadows, highlights, and contrast (taking into account the presence of human faces), to provide a fill-flash-like effect after image capture through the Retouch menu, but supplements this with the company's Active D-Lighting function. Active D-Lighting, which debuted on the D3 and D300, is applied to images at the time of capture. In the D3100 can be enabled or disabled, but there's no manual control over the strength of the effect, which was also true in the D3000. Nikon tells us that the new EXPEED 2 image processor has brought improved performance for its Active D-Lighting function.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="photo-nb left" style="background-color: white; float: left; font-size: smaller; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 12px; margin-top: 6px; width: 250px;"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" height="219" src="http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/D3100/ZURBATT.JPG" width="250" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;The Nikon D3100 also includes Nikon's Picture Control System, which allows control of sharpening, contrast, brightness, saturation and hue. Picture Control presets include Standard, Neutral, Vivid, Monochrome, Portrait, and Landscape, and each can be fine-tuned to the user's preferences.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Storage and battery&lt;/b&gt;. The Nikon D3100 stores images on an SD/SDHC/SDXC memory card, and is compatible with Eye-Fi cards for wireless connectivity via WiFi. It uses a new EN-EL14 lithium-ion battery pack, rated for 550 shots on a charge with 50% of shots using the flash (CIPA rating). No vertical battery grip is available for the Nikon D3100.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;h3 style="font-size: 17px; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 5px;"&gt;Shooting with the Nikon D3100&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;div class="photo-nb right" style="background-color: white; float: right; font-size: smaller; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 6px; width: 250px;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/D3100/YDSC_0021.HTM" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="167" src="http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/D3100/THUMBS250/YDSC_0021.JPG" width="250" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="caption-nb-long" style="font-size: 10px; font-style: italic; font-weight: normal; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Live View&lt;/b&gt;. The Nikon D3100's Live View mode helped me get a closeup of these colorful fall leaves, which were well above my head. An articulated LCD would've been helpful, though looking at the LCD from this angle made it hard to frame my subject, and it took five attempts to get a composition I was happy with.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;With an intuitive control layout that's very similar to that of the D3000, I felt quite at home shooting with the Nikon D3100. And with the bundled AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR lens attached, the combination is well-balanced, and controls fell comfortably under my fingers. While it's about par for the course among smaller, consumer DSLR bodies, I did find myself wishing that the D3100's grip were just slightly deeper. With my large hands, it was just a little tiring shooting single-handed, placing more of the weight on my fingertips than is the case with the larger grips on other DSLRs.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;I'm especially a fan of the Function button on the left-hand side of the Nikon D3100's flash housing, which I configured to provide quick access to ISO sensitivity adjustments without needing to enter the menu system. Likewise, the new release mode switch makes it easy to jump back and forth between single and burst shooting, as photo opportunities present themselves. The new Live View switch with its central movie record button is also a great design -- unlikely to be accidentally bumped, but perfectly positioned for your thumb to quickly launch Live View mode, and to start or stop movie capture with a minimum of handling noise or camera shake. It's a shame that the LCD panel can't be tilted or swivelled, though, as this robs the Live View function of a little versatility. For example, shooting pictures of fall leaves with the Nikon D3100 held well above my head, I found it rather difficult to see my precise framing, as I was having to look at the LCD from an extreme angle. I still got the shot I wanted, but it took me five attempts to get the framing right.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="photo-nb left" style="background-color: white; float: left; font-size: smaller; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 12px; margin-top: 6px; width: 167px;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/D3100/YDSC_0081.HTM" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" height="250" src="http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/D3100/THUMBS250/YDSC_0081.JPG" width="167" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="caption-nb-long" style="font-size: 10px; font-style: italic; font-weight: normal; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;High ISO&lt;/b&gt;. On a sunny day in Knoxville, Tennessee, there weren't too many opportunities to shoot at high sensitivity, but this ISO 3,200 shot of a chandelier in a shady lobby shows that the standard ISO range is useful indeed.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;I'm not the most active of movie shooters, but I did appreciate the ability to record at Full HD resolution. For videographers who are adept at pulling focus manually, or who don't mind the limitations of autofocus in terms of drive noise being clearly audible in the captured video, the Nikon D3100 can prove a useful alternative to bringing both a still camera and a camcorder on every trip. The Nikon D3100's contrast detection AF is certainly not as fast as phase detection, but it's definitely at the point where I felt it was useful for static or slowly moving subjects. My fall leaf photo was taken on a fairly breezy day, but the Nikon D3100 still managed to lock AF in between gusts and capture a well-focused image without issue.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;I found the Nikon D3100's high ISO performance to be very useful, as demonstrated in the above shot. Noise inside the standard ISO sensitivity range is generally controlled well, and the in-camera noise reduction does nearly as good a job as I could manage in post-processing. With the expanded range enabled, noise did start to present itself rather more forcefully, but with a bit more time spent in post-processing, or at more modest print sizes, I could see even the maximum sensitivity of ISO 12,800 equivalent proving useful in a snip. As I've noted, I generally left the Nikon D3100's Function button mapped for ISO sensitivity adjustments. With that said, I actually found myself shooting with Auto ISO adjustment a lot of the time. With the ability to set a minimum shutter speed, the Nikon D3100's Auto ISO mode let me focus on framing images.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="photo-nb right" style="background-color: white; float: right; font-size: smaller; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 6px; width: 250px;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/D3100/YDSC_0002.HTM" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="167" src="http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/D3100/THUMBS250/YDSC_0002.JPG" width="250" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="caption-nb-long" style="font-size: 10px; font-style: italic; font-weight: normal; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Metering&lt;/b&gt;. I found the D3100's exposure metering handled most scenes well, with only occasional blown highlights as you'd expect on harshly lit subjects like these white boats. Even here, the RAW file contains easily enough latitude to restore pretty much everything that's clipped in the JPEG image.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;I do think that photographers unfamiliar with Nikon's user interface will perhaps be confused by one point, though. In the Nikon D3100's Shooting menu, there's an option to enable or disable Auto ISO sensitivity, but it's placed directly adjacent to a list of sensitivities that starts with a grayed-out "Auto" position. If you try to select this option, you're presented with the rather cryptic message that it is "not available with current settings." The confusion hails from the fact that, with Auto ISO sensitivity enabled, the numeric value chosen in this list is only a suggestion to the camera as a starting point for the Nikon D3100 to select. The grayed-out option only becomes available in Scene mode shooting, when the option to enable or disable Auto ISO instead becomes grayed out. It seems that Nikon could make this more intuitive by simply hiding the unavailable option altogether, so that you don't appear to have two conflicting options, only one of which is accessible in any given mode.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="photo-nb left" style="background-color: white; float: left; font-size: smaller; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 12px; margin-top: 6px; width: 167px;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/D3100/YDSC_0019.HTM" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" height="250" src="http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/D3100/THUMBS250/YDSC_0019.JPG" width="167" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="caption-nb-long" style="font-size: 10px; font-style: italic; font-weight: normal; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Plenty of detail&lt;/b&gt;. The Nikon D3100's JPEG engine does a good job of holding onto detail from the 14-megapixel CMOS chip, with only a modest resolution advantage to be found from shooting in RAW mode.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;The omission of bracketed shooting, presumably to provide differentiation from more advanced Nikon DSLRs, is something I found rather more troubling. I tend to shoot in RAW mode, for the versatility it provides in being able to adjust exposures in post-processing, but when I'm shooting in JPEG mode, I tend to opt for bracketed exposures instead, providing a little reassurance that I'll have an acceptable exposure even with relatively difficult scenes. With the Nikon D3100, that's simply not an option. Thankfully, I found that Nikon's metering system generally hit the nail on the head, with relatively few blown highlights, and then only with harshly-lit subjects occupying a small portion of the frame, such as the sunlit white boat hulls shown above. With this particular exposure, I shot in RAW+JPEG mode, and the RAW file offers good latitude to correct the clipped highlights. If I'd shot only in JPEG, though, there'd have been no restoring them. Even at the entry-level, I consider bracketing to be a must-have feature.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;That omission aside though, I found the Nikon D3100 to be a pleasure to shoot with. The most important part of any camera is its image quality, and the Nikon D3100 boasts plenty of resolution, coupled with fairly accurate color. The images I captured in my time with the camera represented my subjects well as I remember them, and as in the street shot above, were generally sharp even in JPEG shooting, with only a slight resolution advantage to be found in shooting RAW. Colors were fairly saturated by default -- this is a camera aimed at consumers, after all -- but thanks to Nikon's standard Picture Controls, it's easy to dial that back a little, and to obtain a rendering that one finds personally pleasing.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;While I didn't have need of the Guide mode, and I think it's a little cumbersome, I can see that it could be a useful way to help a complete beginner through the photographic process, and to help them learn about the exposure variables they're adjusting in the process. For more experienced photographers, the Nikon D3100 offers most of the features you'd need, the omission of bracketing excepted. Overall, the Nikon D3100 is a camera that I'd have few hesitations recommending.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;h3 style="font-size: 17px; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 5px;"&gt;Nikon D3100 Image Quality&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;Most digital SLRs will produce a reasonable ISO 100 shot, so we like to push them and see what they can do at ISO 1,600. Recent advances in sensor technology have made ISO 1,600 look a lot more like ISO 100 on many SLRs, but there are still cameras whose quality starts to fall apart at this setting.

The Nikon D3100 comes in about in the middle of these five competitors. It is bested by the T1i and Sony A33, but both of these camera also oversharpen their images, resulting in more noticeable halos around high-contrast areas, while the Nikon D3100's images maintain a more honest photographic look (there's still a halo, it's just not as bright). The same is true of the ISO 3,200 shots. Also blurring the issue is that the D3100's image exhibits less contrast in this test shot. Ultimately, the Nikon D3100 holds its own quite well in the detail department, a performance worthy of the Nikon badge.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Printed Results&lt;/strong&gt;. Peeping at pixels onscreen is only worth so much. It's when we print the images that we get to the relevant performance of a camera's lens and sensor.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRINT/CP9KII/PRO9K2.HTM" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img align="right" alt="" border="0" height="182" src="http://www.imaging-resource.com/ART/printer-9000e.jpg" width="180" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Printed results from the Nikon D3100's standard JPEGs are quite good, starting with ISO 100 shots that print very well at 20x30 inches.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;ISO 200 shots also look great at 20x30, though our laboratory Still Life shot is out of focus at that setting. Printing other ISO 200 shots, however, confirm its quality, as do the ISO 400 results.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;ISO 400 shots are also excellent at 20x30 inches, with only slight softening due to noise suppression.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;ISO 800 images are slightly soft, but strong detail is still present at 20x30 inches. Some luminance noise is present in the shadows. Detail softness becomes negligible at 16x24.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;ISO 1,600 images are very nice at 16x24 as well, though more of the "processed look" appears around the edges and in the shadows. It's not noticeable at arm's length, though. Reducing print size to 13x19 removes most signs of processing.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;ISO 3,200 files print very well at 13x19 inches, though shadows and dark objects start to lose some detail as contrast increases.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;ISO 6,400 images are better printed at 11x14 inches, though shadows and colors appear darker. All of this looks more natural printed at 8x12 inches, with only very high saturation and contrast being an issue.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;ISO 12,800 look good, but with a watercolor painting effect at 8x12 inches. 5x7-inch prints, though, look excellent in terms of detail, though contrast and shadows are darker and deeper.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;Overall, the Nikon D3100 turns out impressive images. Standard JPEGs start out with high saturation and end with very high contrast in their prints, but the D3100 offers some adjustment to both. The only noise reduction options are On and Off, plus RAW, but those should be sufficient for most consumers, as the D3100's printed output can be categorized as "satisfying" in a way that most people will appreciate.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;See below for Pro/Con listing and Conclusion.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;h3 style="font-size: 17px;

Key among these for most photographers will be its better image quality. For an extra $150 above the list price of the D3000, the Nikon D3100 not only provides significantly higher resolution, but also manages to yield much better high ISO performance to boot. The addition of Live View shooting will ease the transition from point-and-shoot cameras for consumers who've grown accustomed to shooting at arm's length. For $700 list in kit form, the D3100 also adds movie capture, and bests many more expensive cameras in this area, with both Full HD resolution and live autofocus during movie capture. A limitation on framerate at the highest resolution and issues with autofocus drive noise may negate either of these advantages, depending on your intended use, however.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;As a camera aimed at the entry level, the Nikon D3100 must cater to photographers who've yet to develop their knowledge of the basics, and a subtly refined variant of the Guide mode seen previously in the D3000 aims to serve this purpose. The addition of example images will certainly make it easier to gain some feeling for the adjustments you're making, but we're still not entirely sure of Guide mode's utility. With spontaneous shots -- where you'll perhaps most need the camera's help -- you likely won't have time to have your hand held, as Guide mode steps you through the setup process. For less spontaneous shots, those who have the time and patience may appreciate the training wheels. Unlike Auto modes that make all the decisions on your behalf, Guide mode can at least prove educational, since you're given an understanding of what settings are being changed.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;In most other areas, the Nikon D3100 turns in a solid performance, if not a particularly startling one -- but then, you wouldn't really expect that of an entry level model. Exposures are metered nicely, and color is accurate, if a little oversaturated. Auto white balance does well, but is still a little warm under incandescent lighting. Flash coverage at wide-angle is a little uneven, and the optical viewfinder still suffers the alignment issues noted previously in our D3000 review. On the plus side, though, the bundled 18-55mm kit lens turns in a fairly good performance, especially if shooting in JPEG mode with lens corrections enabled. Thanks to good in-camera noise processing, as well as a JPEG engine that yields lots of fine detail, the Nikon D3100 lends itself well to JPEG shooting overall, and that's an important plus for a camera aimed at the entry-level, where RAW shooting isn't the norm.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;The absence of features such as exposure bracketing and the mechanical linkage needed to drive autofocus on older lenses mean that the Nikon D3100 won't make the ideal backup camera for Nikon shooters seeking a second body. That's not really its target market, though. For amateurs looking to move up from a point-and-shoot camera, the Nikon D3100 offers plenty of room to grow. The Nikon D3100 addresses several of the D3000's shortcomings for a relatively modest increment in list pricing, making it a much easier camera to recommend.

You might disagree on whether the upgrade is major or minor, but some will cling to the resolution to say that there's little new about the Nikon D3S: "It's still 12.1 megapixels."&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;But a camera is more than resolution. Nikon more than any other camera company has taught us that a digital camera can perform better in low light than we've ever allowed ourselves to expect -- seeing more like our eyes see, so that we can get better pictures without flash. They taught us this with the Nikon D3, whose expanded ISO setting was an astonishing 25,600. Journalists rely on the D3's high ISO settings, making images that would have been impossible just a few years ago.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;The Nikon D3S, however, is more sensitive. Its base ISO range is 200 to 12,800. And its expanded ISO settings go up to 102,400. The possibilities just multiplied.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;In addition to greater sensitivity, the Nikon D3S offers the new essential feature of video capture. As on other Nikons, D-Movie captures 1,280 x 720 progressive scan at 24 frames per second. Files are saved in Motion JPEG AVI format, which allows easy on-camera editing, as well as extracting a still image from the video stream, all without affecting the original file. A monaural microphone is built into the front of the Nikon D3S, and a stereo mic input allows attachment of an external microphone. Regular movie shooting allows automatic gain setting between ISO 200 and 12,800, and an optional High-Sensitivity Movie Mode opens up ISO 6,400 to 102,400 for recording movies in very low light conditions.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/D3S/ZURBEAUTY-L.JPG" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img align="right" alt="" border="0" height="257" src="http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/D3S/ZURBEAUTY.JPG" width="250" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Functionally, most of what was great remains. The nine-frames-per-second burst, or 11 fps in the DX-crop mode continues delivering what users expect. The buffer has been doubled, though, and a new crop mode supports 1.2x image sizes, turning out 8.4 megapixel files. The 51-point AF system remains mostly the same, thankfully.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;A new Quiet Shutter Release mode makes shooting in low-noise environments easier, and a few controls have been added or shifted to make using the Nikon D3S a little more intuitive.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;The Nikon D3S is available now for US$5,199.95, about $200 more than the Nikon D3 when it shipped in 2007.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;h3 style="font-size: 17px; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 5px;"&gt;Nikon D3S Review&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;by Mike Tomkins, Shawn Barnett, and Andrew Alexander&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;The Nikon D3S single-lens reflex digital camera updates the company's previous D3 model to include an even wider sensitivity range, high-definition movie capture, dust reduction, and quite a few other new features besides.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;Though it's largely the same size and weight, with dimensions of 6.3 x 6.2 x 3.4 inches (160 x 157 x 88mm) and a body-only weight of two pounds, twelve ounces (1,240g), the Nikon D3S has a few external refinements to talk about; but perhaps the best news for pros is that the Nikon D3S is familiar, so upgrading or adding a D3S to their arsenal isn't going to require a lot of retraining.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Look and feel&lt;/b&gt;. As with the D3, the D3S looks and feels quite sturdy, with excellent grip surfaces for both horizontal and vertical shooting, and canted dials for smoother human interaction.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/D3S/ZURFRONT-L.JPG" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" height="540" src="http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/D3S/ZURFRONT.JPG" width="575" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;New on the front of the Nikon D3S are three holes for the monaural microphone, appearing in the upper right in this picture, floating between the self-timer lamp and the Flash sync / Remote terminal cover.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/D3S/ZURTOP-L.JPG" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" height="457" src="http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/D3S/ZURTOP.JPG" width="575" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;There's essentially no noticeable difference on top, except that there's no longer a Live view position on the Drive mode dial, whose former position you can't really see in this image. That position has been changed to support the new Quiet Shutter Release mode ("Q"). Live view is now accessed on the back.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/D3S/ZURBACK-L.JPG" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" height="542" src="http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/D3S/ZURBACK.JPG" width="575" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;Nikon added an "info" button to the left button array, including a feature that was heretofore not found on their pro series cameras. The button calls up a rear status display that is also new to the pro line. The speaker that was to the left of the small Rear Control Panel LCD has moved to under the card door release cover below the AF Area mode switch. The small LCD has been shifted left, allowing room for the addition of a Live view button (marked Lv), just right of the microphone button. And that pretty well sums up the major physical differences on the Nikon D3S.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="photo-nb right" style="background-color: white; float: right; font-size: smaller; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 6px; width: 250px;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/D3S/ZSENSOR.JPG" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" height="176" src="http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/D3S/ZSENSOR-S.JPG" width="250" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Sensor&lt;/b&gt;. Announced a little over two years ago, the D3 was an extremely important camera for Nikon, being its first offering to include a full 35mm-frame sized image sensor. In the company's parlance, the sensor format is designated "Nikon FX," to avoid the impression that its DX-format (or APS-C) sensors are somehow "sub-frame." In comparison to a Nikon DX camera of the same resolution (like the Nikon D300S), an FX-format model offers greatly-increased light gathering capability, which translates to better high ISO, or low-light performance. It also allows near-identical framing with that of a 35mm film camera when using the same focal length, and makes truly wide-angle photography more feasible given that there's no focal length multiplier in FX mode.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;There's no such thing as a free lunch, though, and there are two main disadvantages for full-frame digital SLRs -- the first of which is that the cost to manufacture such a sensor is significantly higher than that of an APS-C camera. At the same time, taking full advantage of the larger sensor requires the use of larger, heavier FX-format lenses if the entire imager is to fit inside the image circle produced by the optics.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;Unlike Canon, whose sub-frame lenses cannot mount on full-frame cameras, Nikon allows the use of DX-format lenses by simply cropping the active area of the FX-format sensor to match that of a DX-format camera, with a corresponding decrease in total resolution.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="photo-nb left" style="background-color: white; float: left; font-size: smaller; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 12px; margin-top: 6px; width: 250px;"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" height="296" src="http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/D3S/ZEXPEED.JPG" width="250" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;Inside, the Nikon D3S sports both a newly-developed image sensor and EXPEED image processor, which together have enabled the new video mode and increased sensitivity. Sensor resolution is unchanged from that of the D3, at 12.1 effective megapixels, and the new FX-format CMOS chip in the Nikon D3S also retains the same 36.0 x 23.9mm dimensions and 8.45µm cell size of its predecessor.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;Maximum image resolution in the native 3:2 aspect ratio is 4,256 x 2,832 pixels, and there's also a 5:4 aspect ratio mode which allows image capture at up to 3,552 x 2,832 pixels, excellent for helping photographers frame in the popular 8x10-inch format. In addition, the Nikon D3S can record images in DX crop mode at up to 2,784 x 1,848 pixel resolution, and there's a new 1.2x crop mode which trades off a little resolution in favor of a slightly increased 35mm-equivalent focal length, avoids the very corners of the image (which tend to be the problem areas for lens-derived image defects), and yields slightly more manageable file sizes.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;The Nikon D3S is based around a 16-bit imaging pipeline, and offers the choice of either 14-bit or 12-bit A/D conversion. Startup time is said to be 0.12 seconds, with shutter lag of 0.04 seconds, according to Nikon specifications. (We measured ~0.1 second and 0.043 second respectively.)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="photo-nb right" style="background-color: white; float: right; font-size: smaller; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 6px; width: 230px;"&gt;&lt;table style="border-bottom-color: black; border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-left-color: black; border-left-style: solid; border-left-width: 1px; border-right-color: black; border-right-style: solid; border-right-width: 1px; border-top-color: black; border-top-style: solid; border-top-width: 1px; font-size: 11px; width: 230px;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td bgcolor="#cccccc" colspan="2" style="border-bottom-color: black; border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 1px; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 3px; padding-left: 3px; padding-right: 3px; padding-top: 3px; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;Shots remaining before buffer fills&lt;br /&gt;(14-bit RAW, lossless compressed)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr align="center"&gt;&lt;td bgcolor="white" style="border-bottom-color: black; border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-right-color: black; border-right-style: solid; border-right-width: 1px; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 3px; padding-left: 3px; padding-right: 3px; padding-top: 3px; text-align: center;" width="50%"&gt;D3&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td bgcolor="white" style="border-bottom-color: black; border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 1px; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 3px; padding-left: 3px; padding-right: 3px; padding-top: 3px; text-align: center;" width="50%"&gt;D3S&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr align="center"&gt;&lt;td bgcolor="white" style="border-right-color: black; border-right-style: solid; border-right-width: 1px; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 3px; padding-left: 3px; padding-right: 3px; padding-top: 3px; text-align: center;" width="50%"&gt;16&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td bgcolor="white" style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 3px; padding-left: 3px; padding-right: 3px; padding-top: 3px; text-align: center;" width="50%"&gt;36&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Buffer increase&lt;/b&gt;. As you'd expect, the Nikon D3S retains the impressive burst shooting capability of the D3, with a maximum of nine frames per second possible in FX-format shooting, and as much as eleven frames per second when set to DX-format. Thanks to a doubling of its buffer memory size, the Nikon D3S offers greatly increased burst depth as compared to the stock Nikon D3, however. (The upgraded buffer memory was&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.imaging-resource.com/NEWS/1217515542.html" target="_blank"&gt;made available&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;as a paid option for D3 owners about a year after the camera first launched, so the native buffer memory of the D3S -- and hence its burst depth -- are identical to that of an upgraded D3).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;For full-resolution FX-mode shooting depending on the compression type in use, burst depth should be in the region of 35 to 44 frames in Raw or TIFF formats, according to Nikon, while JPEG bursts of 119 to 130 shots should be possible. DX-mode full-res bursts meanwhile should reach 54 to 87 Raw or TIFF frames, and 130 JPEG frames. See the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/D3S/D3SA6.HTM" target="_blank"&gt;Performance tab&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;for the numbers we got while testing the D3S.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="photo-nb left" style="background-color: white; float: left; font-size: smaller; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 12px; margin-top: 6px; width: 250px;"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" height="211" src="http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/D3S/ZDUSTREDUCT.JPG" width="250" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Dust Reduction&lt;/b&gt;. One of the most significant changes in the Nikon D3S outside the imaging pipeline is the inclusion of Nikon's Dust Reduction system -- the first time the company has offered the technology in a full-frame camera with 100% viewfinder coverage. The system functions by vibrating the optical low-pass filter over the CMOS sensor at four distinct frequencies to shake free any dust particles that are adhering to the filter. This process can be initiated at the user's command, or automatically either when the camera is first switched on, or right before it powers off.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Lens mount&lt;/b&gt;. The Nikon D3S provides a Nikon F-mount with autofocus coupling and contacts. Like the D3 before it, the Nikon D3S is compatible with almost every F-mount lens made since 1977, although some lens types will have a few limitations.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;LCD&lt;/b&gt;. On the rear panel of the Nikon D3S is a 3.0-inch diagonal low-temperature polysilicon LCD with a total resolution of 921,600 dots, which equates to 307,200 pixels in a 640 x 480 (VGA) array. The panel is identical to that used on the original D3, and offers a wide 170-degree viewing angle both horizontally and vertically, as well as 100% frame coverage. Those paying close attention will notice that the number of pixels claimed for the LCD has changed from 920,000 to 921,600, but they assure us that they were rounding down when they announced the D3, and this is a more accurate number.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Viewfinder&lt;/b&gt;. There's also an eye-level pentaprism viewfinder whose coverage is 100% when used in uncropped FX 3:2 or 5:4 aspect ratio modes, and 97% when in the 1.2x or DX cropped modes. When shooting in modes other than the native FX-format 3:2 aspect ratio, a translucent LCD in the viewfinder of Nikon's D3S partially masks the inactive portions of the frame. The viewfinder has 0.7x magnification at 50mm and -1 diopter, an 18mm eyepoint, a diopter adjustment range of -3 to +1, and ships by default with a Type B BriteView Clear Matte VI screen with AF area brackets installed.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="photo-nb right" style="background-color: white; float: right; font-size: smaller; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 6px; width: 250px;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/D3S/ZBACKLV.JPG" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" height="231" src="http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/D3S/ZBACKLV-S.JPG" width="250" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Live view&lt;/b&gt;. Also retained from the Nikon D3 is that camera's Live View mode, although it now has its own dedicated button on the camera's rear panel rather than occupying a position on the Release Mode Dial. (Its space is taken over by the Quiet Shutter function previously seen on the Nikon D300S and D5000 models, which noticeably reduces noise levels by separating cocking and release of the shutter mechanism.)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;The Live view mode in the Nikon D3S is similar to that of its predecessor, offering both hand-held and tripod modes. Hand-held mode uses phase-detection autofocusing, which includes a brief interruption to the live view display while the camera checks focus, and the Tripod mode uses contrast-detection autofocusing. Thanks to the new EXPEED image processor, contrast-detection AF performance is said to be around 30 to 40 percent faster than the D3. There's also a new flicker reduction function in Live View mode, which can be set to either 50 or 60Hz, preventing a common issue under some types of artificial lighting.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;High ISO&lt;/b&gt;. One of the more impressive changes in the Nikon D3S enabled by its new image sensor and processor is the incredibly wide sensitivity range. Where the Nikon D3 already offered a useful standard range from ISO 200 to 6,400 equivalents, the D3S boosts the upper end of the range to ISO 12,800 equivalent. As with the D3, the lower end of the range can be expanded to include ISO 100, but the really significant changes are in the expanded upper range. The Nikon D3 allowed Hi-1 and Hi-2 positions with equivalent ISO sensitivities of 12,800 and 25,600 respectively. The Nikon D3S replaces these with Hi-1, -2 and -3 settings, which equate to ISO 25,600, ISO 51,200 and incredibly to a maximum of ISO 102,400!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Autofocus and metering&lt;/b&gt;. The Nikon D3S retains the same Multi-CAM 3500FX phase detection autofocus sensor as seen in the D3, which offers 51 focusing points, of which 15 are cross types. The Nikon D3S includes AF tracking capability, and allows fine-tuning of individual lenses to correct for front- or back-focus issues. Exposure modes include Program, Aperture- and Shutter-priority, and Manual.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;Metering is performed with a 1,005 pixel RGB sensor, and shutter speeds range from 1/8,000 to 30 seconds. The shutter mechanism is retained from the Nikon D3, and is still rated at a lifetime of around 300,000 cycles. Also unchanged from the D3 are the camera's white balance options. These include Auto, twelve presets (including fully seven Fluorescent presets), as well as five Manual white balance positions, and the ability to directly specify a color temperature from 2,500 to 10,000 Kelvin. In addition, all white balance modes allow fine-tuning. +/- 5.0EV of exposure compensation is available in 1/3, 1/2 or 1EV steps. The Nikon D3S also includes a hot shoe and flash sync terminal, with iTTL flash metering, an X-sync of 1/250 second, and compatibility with the company's Creative Lighting System.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="photo-nb left" style="background-color: white; float: left; font-size: smaller; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 12px; margin-top: 6px; width: 250px;"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" height="188" src="http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/D3S/ZMENMOVIES.GIF" width="250" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;D-Movie&lt;/b&gt;. The Nikon D3S is the company's first full-frame dSLR to offer video recording, similar to a few other recent digital SLRs. Unlike many, however, Nikon has allowed both the ability to perform contrast detection autofocusing during movie capture, as well as to specify the shutter speed, ISO speed and aperture, before or during movie recording (although it should be noted that these changes will probably be noticeable in both the audio and video captured).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;The Nikon D3S' video mode allows use of the camera's unusually high ISO sensitivities, although in its default configuration, the exact sensitivity selected remains under the camera's control. In its regular mode, the photographer selects from one of two ISO ranges -- either 200 to 12,800 equivalents, or 6,400 to 102,400 equivalents. This latter mode is called High Sensitivity Movie Mode. It is possible to enable full manual control, where any combination of aperture, shutter speed and ISO speed can be set, within certain limitations.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;The maximum movie resolution offered in the Nikon D3S is 1,280 x 720 pixels (720p), with 640 x 424 and 320 x 216 pixel modes also available. All movies are captured at 24 frames per second, and audio can be recorded either with the camera's internal monaural microphone, or an external stereo mic using a 3.5mm jack. Audio sensitivity can be adjusted manually, with four sensitivity settings plus off and auto positions. It's also possible to trim both the start and end of movies in-camera, and to extract a still frame. Finally, Nikon has apparently worked on the jello-like rolling shutter artifacts which are commonplace in DSLR videos due to the manner in which they're captured, and the company is describing the effect as being about half as noticeable as in its past models.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="photo-nb right" style="background-color: white; float: right; font-size: smaller; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 6px; width: 250px;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/D3S/ZSLOTS.JPG" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" height="249" src="http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/D3S/ZSLOTS-S.JPG" width="250" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;The Nikon D3S stores images via dual-CompactFlash card slots like its predecessor, although Type-II CompactFlash cards and Microdrives can no longer be accepted in either slot. The Nikon D3S is UDMA compatible, and can store still images in several formats. Choices include .NEF Raw (Uncompressed, lossless compression, or lossy compression), TIFF, or JPEG, as well as both Raw and JPEG simultaneously.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;Connectivity includes USB 2.0 High-Speed, as well as both standard definition NTSC/PAL and high-definition HDMI video output. The HDMI connector used is now a Type-C, rather than the Type-A found in the Nikon D3. There's also a 10-pin remote connection that also doubles as a connector for an optional GPS receiver, and a 3.5mm stereo microphone jack. Power comes from an EN-EL4a or EN-EL4 battery, with the former included in the product bundle.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;h3 style="font-size: 17px; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 5px;"&gt;Nikon D3S Shooter's Report&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;by Andrew Alexander&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;I spent just over three weeks with the Nikon D3S, chiefly to put it through its paces as a video camera, but also to evaluate its still capabilities. Accordingly, I'll separate this report into two categories.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;h4 style="font-size: 13px; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 5px;"&gt;Shooter's Report - Still Capture&lt;/h4&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;As we've already indicated, the Nikon D3S is best described as an update to the D3, rather than a totally revised model. Many of the features which made the D3 an excellent platform have been maintained on the Nikon D3S, if not improved.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Buffer upgrade.&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;Including the buffer upgrade in the Nikon D3S was a practical choice for Nikon, placating a user base which probably thought the buffer should have been more capable to begin with. With the Continuous-High shooting speed of nine frames per second in FX mode and 11 in DX crop mode, it was painfully easy to hit the buffer wall, only to wait precious seconds for the buffer to clear before another shot could be taken. In a professional situation, this delay really wasn't acceptable, and the only practical solution was to shoot at a slower speed, defeating the purpose of Continuous-High. With the increased buffer size, shooters have a bit more latitude when shooting at the camera's highest speed.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="photo left" style="background-color: #cccccc; float: left; font-size: smaller; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 12px; margin-top: 6px; padding-bottom: 6px; padding-left: 6px; padding-right: 6px; padding-top: 6px; width: 250px;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/D3S/D3ShSLI006400_NR2D.HTM" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" height="166" src="http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/D3S/THUMBS250/D3ShSLI006400_NR2D.JPG" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; margin-top: 0px;" width="250" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="caption-long" style="font-size: 11px; font-weight: normal; text-align: left;"&gt;Still Life target at ISO 6,400.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Really High ISO.&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;It's easy to focus on the big number -- ISO 102,400 -- but what's of real interest to most shooters is how the new sensor treats images at more reasonable ISO settings. The D3 opened the door to shooters interested in available light shooting; until its arrival, for most indoor events, an external flash was the only option. You&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;could&lt;/i&gt;&amp;nbsp;shoot at ISO 3,200, but the images were so noisy that you wouldn't want to present them. Now, ISO 3,200 has become commonplace. As you can see in the test images, the Nikon D3S raises the bar not only in the upper limits of ISO sensitivity, but it also improves upon the quality of its middle range. Where many D3 shooters would stick to ISO 1,600 to produce noiseless images in lower-light scenarios, they might now feel as comfortable with ISO 3,200 or even 6,400 in the Nikon D3S. At this point you're not limited to using f/2.8 lenses; you can stop down a bit to extend the depth of field on your subject, or to get optimal image sharpness.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;For those shooters who truly need a camera that sees in the dark, the Nikon D3S fits the bill. Yes, without light to shoot by, it's noisy, but the fact that it can make an image at such a high ISO speed is remarkable indeed.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;See our&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/D3S/D3SHI_ISO_NR.HTM#Compare" target="_blank"&gt;High ISO NR&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;and&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/D3S/D3SRAW.HTM" target="_blank"&gt;High ISO RAW&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;pages to see how the Nikon D3S compares to other professional dSLRs.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="photo-nb right" style="background-color: white; float: right; font-size: smaller; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 6px; width: 250px;"&gt;&lt;table style="font-size: 11px; width: 250px;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 3px; padding-left: 3px; padding-right: 3px; padding-top: 3px; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/D3S/d3_shutter.wav" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" height="125" src="http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/D3S/zd3_shutter.jpg" width="250" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 3px; padding-left: 3px; padding-right: 3px; padding-top: 3px; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;i&gt;D3 shutter&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 3px; padding-left: 3px; padding-right: 3px; padding-top: 3px; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/D3S/d3s_shutter.wav" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" height="125" src="http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/D3S/zd3s_shutter.jpg" width="250" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 3px; padding-left: 3px; padding-right: 3px; padding-top: 3px; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;i&gt;D3S shutter&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 3px; padding-left: 3px; padding-right: 3px; padding-top: 3px; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/D3S/d3s_shutter_q.wav" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" height="125" src="http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/D3S/zd3s_shutter_q.jpg" width="250" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 3px; padding-left: 3px; padding-right: 3px; padding-top: 3px; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;i&gt;D3S shutter - Quiet Shutter Release mode&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Quiet Shutter Release Mode.&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;One of the changes made in the upgrade to the Nikon D3S was the introduction of the Quiet Shutter Release ("Q") mode, and there has been an equally quiet reaction to its introduction. The methodology is straightforward and simple: when Q mode is activated, the mirror will stay in its open position until the shutter button is released by the user, at which point it will return to its home position.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;In practice, it's an interesting idea, but it's still fairly noisy, as the reduction in sound probably isn't dramatic enough to warrant its usage. We took some recordings of the shutter of the D3 and the Nikon D3S, with no lens attached, at a distance of about 12 inches. The results are to the right (click image to play wave file).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;So what we're seeing in the Nikon D3S's Quiet Mode is a reduction in the overall "presence" of the noise generated by the shutter release, by breaking it into two parts. And the second part appears to be genuinely quieter than the D3.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;We also noticed a fairly loud ringing sound after each shutter activation. After some investigation we determined that it's the aperture activator retraction springs in both the lens and D3S body that makes such a loud sound. Though other pro-grade cameras also make the sound, including the Canon 1Ds Mark III, we think it's louder on the Nikon D3S because of the heavy-duty spring required to retract the aperture mechanism in time for the 11 fps potential of this high-speed camera. The sound also varies by lens, with some lenses sounding louder than others.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Dust reduction.&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;The Nikon D3S finally integrates the dust reduction systems found in its non-professional brethren, and it shouldn't come as a surprise that after using the camera for three weeks beside a D3, there's less dust to speak of on the D3S. It's not a perfect system, but it will extend the delay between manual sensor cleaning sessions.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Print quality.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRINT/CP9KII/PRO9K2.HTM" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img align="right" alt="" border="0" height="182" src="http://www.imaging-resource.com/ART/printer-9000e.jpg" width="180" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;Printing JPEG images straight from the Nikon D3S strains the mind a bit. While we're used to seeing a pretty clear descent in image size as ISO rises, images from the 12-megapixel D3S don't start to need a size downgrade from 16x24 until ISO 12,800.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;The only major flaw that appears in images in this range and size is increasing luminance noise in the shadows, which starts at about ISO 800. It looks very much like film grain, though, so it's not at all objectionable.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;ISO 12,800 shots are usable at 16x24, but really look better at 13x19 inches.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;ISO 25,600 shots have rather blobby noise in the shadows, and less detail, making them better at 11x14 inches. Contrast also seems to increase at this setting, with more plugged shadows and blacks.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;ISO 51,200 is usable at 11x14, but considerably better at 8x10. Chroma noise has finally started to creep into the shadows at this size and ISO setting.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;ISO 102,400, depending on the subject, is still usable at 8x10, but an almost choppy wave-like pattern has started to emerge in the shadows, along with more chroma noise. This becomes less noticeable at 5x7, and nearly disappears at 4x6, producing an astonishing image when you consider in what conditions it was captured.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;Really a remarkable performance from the amazing Nikon D3S digital SLR camera.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Conclusion.&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;There's not much to add that the&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/D3/D3A.HTM" target="_blank"&gt;D3 report&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;didn't already cover; the Nikon D3S adds a few shooting features, the sensor's been improved, but most importantly, it doesn't break anything that worked.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;h4 style="font-size: 13px; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 5px;"&gt;Video Shooter's Report&lt;/h4&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;On my way back from picking up the Nikon D3S for review, I heard about a 72-hour film festival taking place where I live. The aim of the festival was the produce a 5-8 minute long film in just 72 hours, with a number of specific requirements to be inserted into the film. I thought there could be no better way to get an immediate grasp on the capabilities of the camera than to plunge into this challenge.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;I should mention at this point that I have shot with a fair number of video cameras in corporate video production, but none have a sensor as large as the D3S. I had never been able to accomplish in video what is so easy to do with a dSLR and a fast prime: a sharp foreground subject, with an out-of-focus background. On the editing side, with traditional video cameras, we had to deal with digital video tape, where you had to spend hours capturing video from the camera to the editing computer. Both of these obstacles are removed with the Nikon D3S, and I was curious to see what the results could be.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="photo left" style="background-color: #cccccc; float: left; font-size: smaller; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 12px; margin-top: 6px; padding-bottom: 6px; padding-left: 6px; padding-right: 6px; padding-top: 6px; width: 400px;"&gt;&lt;object height="265" width="400"&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;div class="caption-long" style="font-size: 11px; font-weight: normal; text-align: left;"&gt;My 8-minute short,&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;Wish You Were Here&lt;/i&gt;. (Click to play video.)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;After spending only a few days with the camera and assembling a cast and crew, we spent a Saturday shooting the scenes for our film. Having access to fast primes and both wide-angle and telephoto lenses opened up our capacity to visually tell a story. Most camcorders have one zoom lens that can't go wide enough or long enough, and to get into interchangeable-lens camcorders can get very expensive. I was struck by how seamlessly I was able to make the transition from photographer to videographer, primarily because I did not need to learn a new platform. If anything, what I needed to learn was a new form of camera movement, as the Nikon D3S handles much differently than a conventional camcorder. For some shots we used a tripod, but for most I was able to shoot hand-held, even with a 70-200mm lens, stabilized with VR.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="photo right" style="background-color: #cccccc; float: right; font-size: smaller; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 6px; padding-bottom: 6px; padding-left: 6px; padding-right: 6px; padding-top: 6px; width: 180px;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/D3S/zd3s_steady.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" height="250" src="http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/D3S/d3s_steady_th.jpg" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; margin-top: 0px;" width="180" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="caption-long" style="font-size: 11px; font-weight: normal; text-align: left;"&gt;Extended handheld shooting with the D3S will prove uncomfortable and unsteady. My own solution was to use a monopod, and jam it into my hip. There are already several third-party solutions that are more comfortable. (Gear shown above includes a&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/126229-REG/Cool_Lux_MD3000_MD_3000_Light_and_Sound.html%26BI=771%26KBID=1047" target="_blank"&gt;Cool-Lux MD3000 Light and Sound bracket&lt;/a&gt;,&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/542007-REG/Litepanels_LP_MICRO_Micro_LED_On_Camera_Light.html%26BI=771%26KBID=1047" target="_blank"&gt;Litepanels Micro LED On-Camera Light&lt;/a&gt;, and a&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/631115-REG/Sony_ECM_CG1_ECM_CG1_Gun_Microphone.html%26BI=771%26KBID=1047" target="_blank"&gt;Sony ECM-CG1 Gun Microphone&lt;/a&gt;.)&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;The other technique that most digital SLR video shooters will have to improve is their manual focusing technique. While almost an afterthought now in the world of still photography, in this early period of video-on-digital-SLR it is a necessity. I found on many occasions, especially when using very large apertures with their very thin depth-of-field, it was necessary to use the magnification feature in Live view to find a precise focusing point. Yes, the Nikon D3S can use contrast detection to autofocus during shooting, but unless you're using an AF-S lens, it's slow, noisy, and not at all perfect.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;After ten hours of shooting, we wrapped our day of shooting, having everything we needed. We accumulated 161 .AVI files, representing just over 10 GB of files and almost two and a half hours of video.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;The next day in the editing suite, the HD footage was glorious to behold, and a pleasure to work with. Colors were deeply saturated, and images were crisp and sharp. We were blessed with a sunny day to shoot, so our exteriors were great. The only significant problem we had (other than our tight deadline to produce the final cut) was with audio: because we couldn't monitor audio levels easily in the field, we found we had inconsistencies that we had to fix in post.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;The shoot took a heavy toll on battery life. By the end of the shoot I had gone through two batteries and was halfway through the third. I had meticulously dumped my video from CompactFlash cards to a computer when we took breaks, but never managed to fill a single 8 GB card. By contrast, I was wondering if I would have to take a break to charge a battery.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;See our&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/D3S/D3SVIDEO.HTM" target="_blank"&gt;Video&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;page for more details on the Nikon D3S's video capabilities.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Appraisal.&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;Nikon may have introduced its video mode for dSLRs with the D90, but it has certainly improved upon it in the Nikon D3S. For video, the addition of an external microphone port was absolutely necessary, as was moving to a higher bitrate for recording quality audio. Improved audio control options, including the ability to monitor audio as it's being recorded will be welcomed in future updates. As well, some content producers may not be satisfied with the 720p implementation of HD video, and may require full 1080p.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;h3 style="font-size: 17px; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 5px;"&gt;In the Box&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;ul style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;li data="-"&gt;Nikon D3S body&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li data="-"&gt;EN-EL4a Rechargeable lithium-ion battery&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li data="-"&gt;MH-22 Quick Charger&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li data="-"&gt;UC-E4 USB Cable&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li data="-"&gt;EG-D2 Audio Video Cable&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li data="-"&gt;AN-DC5 Camera Strap&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li data="-"&gt;BF-1B Body Cap&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li data="-"&gt;BS-2 Accessory Shoe Cap&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li data="-"&gt;DK-17 Eyepiece&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li data="-"&gt;BL-4 Battery Chamber Cover&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li data="-"&gt;USB Cable Clip&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li data="-"&gt;Software Suite CD-ROM&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li data="-"&gt;User manuals, quick guides, warranty card&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;h3 style="font-size: 17px; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 5px;"&gt;Recommended Accessories&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;ul style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;li data="-"&gt;Large capacity&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.imaging-resource.com/cgi-bin/m/pl.cgi?memcf" target="_blank"&gt;CompactFlash memory card&lt;/a&gt;.

Enough stayed the same, though, that we've chosen to focus on the video aspect for this report. We've still written up all the controls and run all of our extensive suite of test shots, so be sure to visit the other tabs of this review for more on&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/D3S/D3SA2.HTM"&gt;Design&lt;/a&gt;,&lt;a href="http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/D3S/D3SA3.HTM"&gt;Operation&lt;/a&gt;,&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/D3S/D3SIMAGING.HTM"&gt;Image Quality&lt;/a&gt;,&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/D3S/D3SA4.HTM"&gt;Optics&lt;/a&gt;, and&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/D3S/D3SA6.HTM"&gt;Performance&lt;/a&gt;, among others.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;There's a small sense of deja vu when working with the Nikon D3S in a video context; when digital SLR cameras first became popular, no one had all the answers, and to some degree there was a lot of learning that came with each iteration of a new camera. It's no surprise to me that the owner's manual only devotes seven pages to recording movies, as it's not just new to Nikon, it's relatively new to the majority of the still-photography world.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;At this moment, though, Nikon has provided a tool to filmmakers that they didn't have before, and while it is in some sense limited (compared to your average pro camcorder), the Nikon D3S still works extremely well, and is capable of recording in light so low that no camcorder can compete. The Nikon D3S is a&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.imaging-resource.com/WB/WB.HTM"&gt;Dave's Pick&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;for stills or videos.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7890444354702833061-2202739681940630030?l=gavrielt.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://www.facebook.com/pages/Gabriele-Tolisano-Photography/172505446108499' title='NIkon 3DS Review by Imaging Resources'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://gavrielt.blogspot.com/feeds/2202739681940630030/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7890444354702833061&amp;postID=2202739681940630030' title='0 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7890444354702833061/posts/default/2202739681940630030'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7890444354702833061/posts/default/2202739681940630030'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://gavrielt.blogspot.com/2011/01/nikon-3ds-review-by-imaging-resources.html' title='NIkon 3DS Review by Imaging Resources'/><author><name>Gabriele Tolisano</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05684750316628639163</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='21' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_NB1q6559XhY/SISIyD15QzI/AAAAAAAAAEQ/7YLSKLF4IRs/S220/M+104.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7890444354702833061.post-6747355860188018810</id><published>2011-01-23T10:04:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2011-01-23T10:04:17.091+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Canon 60D review by Imaging Resources</title><content type='html'>&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px; line-height: 18px;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h3 style="font-size: 17px; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 5px;"&gt;Canon EOS 60D&lt;br /&gt;Overview&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;by Shawn Barnett, Dave Etchells, Mike Tomkins, and Zig Weidelich&lt;br /&gt;Preview Date: August 26, 2010&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;At long last Canon introduces the EOS 60D, its latest prosumer digital SLR. Coming into a world where digital SLRs can be seen gracing the neck of anyone who might have ever thought of being a photographer, it's not surprising that Canon has rethought its entry-level prosumer digital SLR. The new design is slightly smaller, and more specifically aimed at the advanced amateur market, better fitting into the niche occupied by the Nikon D90, while the Canon 7D is a better match for the Nikon D300S, cameras that are aimed more toward those making money with their photographs. The redesign still mostly adds and improves features, like the 18-megapixel sensor, Full HD Movie mode, and Vari-angle LCD, but there's at least one feature deletion that is a little frustrating, which we'll get to shortly.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;We'd begun to wonder whether Canon would introduce another semi-Pro digital SLR in this price range, as it's been two years since the 50D debuted. But the 50D was introduced six months early, only one year from the 40D's announcement, so the 60D marks a return to the original schedule, and we don't expect an upgrade for another 18 months.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;In past reviews, we've noted that Nikon had Canon SLRs bracketed, introducing SLRs that didn't quite compete directly with Canon's models in price or features, and that was no more true than when the Canon 50D was left to duke it out with both the Nikon D80/D90 and the Nikon D300/D300S. With the 7D now in place to take on the D300S, the Canon 60D is now aimed more directly at the Nikon D90, losing a few of its pro features in favor of a more consumer-driven focus and a smaller body.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;The upgrade to an 18-megapixel sensor brings the Canon EOS 60D up to date with the Rebel T2i and the 7D, and splits the difference between the two in frame rate, with the T2i shooting 3.7 fps, and the 7D ripping through 8 fps, while the Canon 60D can shoot at 5.3 frames per second. That's down from the 50D's 6.3 frames per second, one of the first downgrades on the list.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;A major improvement is the addition of a 1.04-million pixel, 3-inch Vari-angle LCD screen on the Canon 60D, opening up more unique composition possibilities to the class of shooter that Canon is seeking with this new design.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;Though it's the sixth EOS SLR to support HD video capture, the Canon 60D is the first of its class to do so. Resolutions include 1,920 x 1,080p, 1280 x 720, and 640 x 480, saved in H.264 compression with linear PCM audio. Frame rates include 30, 25, and 24 fps for Full HD, and 60 fps and 50 fps for HD and VGA. Also included is a feature only recently added to the 5D Mark II's video mode, the all-important audio-level adjustment; so in this sense, the Canon 60D is a more advanced video capture device than the 7D.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;Other basic specs on the Canon 60D include an ISO range from 100 to 6,400, plus a high setting for 12,800; a 63-zone dual-layer metering sensor; a 9-point all-cross-type phase-detect autofocus sensor; 100,000-cycle shutter durability; and shutter speeds from 30 to 1/8,000 second. Electronic leveling first seen in the 7D also makes its way into the Canon 60D, indicating pitch and roll like an airplane's attitude indicator. Compact flash has been replaced with SDXC compatibility, and the Canon 60D uses the same battery as the 7D.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;A great many of the Canon 60D's controls have been pared down, and most buttons no longer have a dual purpose depending on the mode. Even the four top buttons that used to control two functions via the Main dial and the rear Quick Control dial are now dedicated to just one function per button. In this sense, the Canon 60D is more like a large Rebel with an LCD status display on the top deck than an evolution of the&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;xx&lt;/i&gt;D line. Another, more welcome change integrates the 8-way joystick with the Quick Control dial. The major unfortunate omission to our minds is the Lens AF Microadjustment Custom Function, a software feature that anyone who cares about sharp images will want in their semi-pro camera. It's another example of how the Canon 60D is now aimed at the advanced amateur, not the semi-pro market.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;Finally, you can use the Canon 60D's built-in flash to wirelessly remote control other Canon wireless EX flashes.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;In another challenge to the Nikon D90, the Canon 60D will ship with the EF-S 18-135mm IS kit lens instead of the rather long-in-the-tooth EF 28-135mm IS lens that shipped with the 40D and 50D.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;Scheduled for delivery toward the end of September, the Canon 60D comes in a kit with the 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS zoom lens for US$1,399.00, and body only for US$1,099.00.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;h3 style="font-size: 17px; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 5px;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/E60D/ZBEAUTY.JPG" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img align="right" alt="" border="0" height="263" src="http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/E60D/ZBEAUTY-S.JPG" width="300" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Canon EOS 60D&lt;br /&gt;Hands-on Preview&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;by Shawn Barnett and Mike Tomkins&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;The long-awaited Canon EOS 60D comes with some incremental upgrades, a few unexpected losses, and some nice surprises; what was not a surprise was its easy and straightforward operation for one already familiar with cameras in this prosumer line, and excellent image quality across the ISO range.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;As mentioned in the overview, the Canon 60D has a few more consumer-friendly features to go along with its consumer-friendly design. In addition to the Scene modes that have always accompanied this level of SLR, Canon now includes many image and video editing features right in the camera. Much of what was introduced in the 7D, including the color-detecting metering system and leveling features, made it into the Canon 60D, but along with those changes came a simplification of controls and a downsizing of the camera body. The one feature unique to the EOS 60D among Canon's SLRs is the Vari-angle LCD, brought over from the PowerShot line.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="photo right" style="background-color: #cccccc; float: right; font-size: smaller; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 6px; padding-bottom: 6px; padding-left: 6px; padding-right: 6px; padding-top: 6px; width: 180px;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/E60D/ZSEALS1-LG.JPG" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" height="140" src="http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/E60D/ZSEALS1.JPG" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; margin-top: 0px;" width="180" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/E60D/ZSEALS2-LG.JPG" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" height="140" src="http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/E60D/ZSEALS2.JPG" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; margin-top: 0px;" width="182" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Look and feel&lt;/b&gt;. Anyone who thought the 50D was a little too bulky will appreciate the Canon 60D's smaller size. Apparent body-only weight has increased by 0.88 ounce (25g) to 26.6 ounces (1.66 pounds, 755g), likely due to the swivel screen. The body is made of a mixture of ABS resin, polycarbonate resin, and polycarbonate resin with a special conductive fiber, presumably for EMI (electromagnetic interference) shielding. The frame is aluminum and polycarbonate enhanced with glass fiber. Dimensions are 5.6 x 4.1 x 3.1 inches (144 x 105 x 78mm), a little bit shorter and less wide than the 50D, and just a bit thicker overall from the lens mount to the LCD thanks largely to the swiveling LCD.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;Canon did not detail just how many environmental seals that the EOS 60D has, but they did say that it is a "robust, densely packed compact body with dust and water resistance." As you can see in the two diagrams at right, the EOS 60D's sealing is fairly extensive.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;The grip is smaller, with a nice indentation just inside the grip to help improve your hold, something we've long appreciated in Nikon SLR designs. It's less noticeable from the front, but there's still an indentation for the middle finger to quickly align your hold.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/E60D/ZURFRONT.JPG" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" height="428" src="http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/E60D/ZURFRONT-S.JPG" width="575" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;Also in that indentation you'll find the infrared remote control window, something that's long been absent on the 60D's predecessors, yet included on the digital Rebels. Indeed, the omission dates all the way back to the original Canon consumer digital SLR, the D30, introduced in 2000.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;Upper right of the lens mount are four holes for the new mono microphone. A stereo microphone jack is also built into the Canon EOS 60D for better quality movie recording.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/E60D/ZURTOP.JPG" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" height="674" src="http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/E60D/ZURTOP-S.JPG" width="575" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;From the top you see the nice EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS lens, equivalent to a 28.8-216mm lens on a full-frame 35mm camera. Note that the lens is not USM (ultrasonic motor) drive, so it makes a little noise while focusing, unlike the 28-135 that was bundled with the 50D. The Mode dial on the left shoulder is a little different. First it omits the longstanding A-DEP setting that most people probably didn't use (it allows you to set your desired depth of field using AF points), and second, there's a button in the middle that you use to unlock the Mode dial. This is not new to EOS, but it is new to their digital SLRs (my old EOS Elan had a locking Mode dial). Many will love it, many will hate it. It's easy enough to learn once you're used to your camera, and prevents you from accidentally changing the exposure mode.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;Differences on the right side start with the tapered LCD screen. Users of the 7D may also notice that the four buttons across the top of the LCD have only one function, not two. In fact, it gets even more straightforward: the settings that each button adjusts appears beneath it on the LCD. No more looking all over the LCD to find the setting you want to change, and no more guessing which dial to use to change it. That is new, and makes good sense.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/E60D/ZURBACK.JPG" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" height="427" src="http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/E60D/ZURBACK-S.JPG" width="575" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;When using the Canon EX580EX II flash, the new rubber gasket mates with the plastic around the EOS 60D's hot shoe, further sealing the body in wet environments. The power switch is moved from the bottom right to the upper left, as it now appears on the 7D. Beneath that is the trashcan button. Canon is still having trouble deciding on a consistent format for buttons on their SLRs, as this is completely different from the 7D, the 50D, and the T2i, as are nearly all of these buttons. The Live View/Record button is at least in the same place on all three cameras, though this one operates more like the T2i than the 7D. That's mostly because both the T2i and 60D have a setting on the Mode Dial that activates Movie mode, while the 7D has a dedicated switch that surrounds the button. Thankfully they retained the AF-ON button, a useful device. Since they moved the power switch from the bottom right, there was no switch handy to deactivate the Quick control dial, so they added an UNLOCK button beneath it. During the short time I had with the camera, I found its use uncertain. It seemed you held it to lock it, and pressed once to unlock it. It also seemed to lock only for one frame. The unit was an early sample, so we will have to wait for a shipping version before commenting further.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;Further economizing on space, Canon has integrated the 8-way joystick of previous models with a slightly smaller Quick Control dial. The end result is an 8-way control disk, useful for selecting among the nine AF points in the viewfinder and navigating in the menus and around zoomed playback images, surrounded by the usual Quick Control dial.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="photo-nb right" style="background-color: white; float: right; font-size: smaller; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 6px; width: 300px;"&gt;&lt;img align="right" alt="" border="0" height="155" src="http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/E60D/ZLCDANIM.GIF" width="300" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;Near the SDXC card door is a write indicator lamp, which is better placed than most lamps. This position gives ample warning that a card write is in progress and opening the door and removing the card might destroy photos, and even the card itself.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;Of course we can't forget one of the more exciting additions to the Canon 60D: the Vari-angle LCD screen. There's an ample thumb relief to get a good grip on the edge of the screen and swing it out. Some find this kind of mechanism cumbersome to use, because you have to swing it out and then flip it to use it in most cases, but it offers more versatility than any other design on the market. Once you get used to it, it's really handy. This is one of the better swivel mechanisms Canon's produced, with smooth movement, but with resistance stiff enough to stay put. It feels very solid and the 1,040,000-dot display looks great.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;h3 style="font-size: 17px; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 5px;"&gt;Comparison: Canon 60D vs 50D&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;table bgcolor="#cccccc" border="0" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="4" style="font-size: 11px; width: 180px;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 3px; padding-left: 3px; padding-right: 3px; padding-top: 3px; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/E60D/ZCOMP50DFR.JPG" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" height="235" src="http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/E60D/ZCOMP50DFR-S.JPG" width="575" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 3px; padding-left: 3px; padding-right: 3px; padding-top: 3px; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;The Canon 60D is reduced in nearly all dimensions, except for the overall thickness. Height and width are smaller by six and four millimeters respectively, and the shoulders slope a bit more. An infrared sensor appears on the 60D grip, where it's long been absent from the 50D and its predecessors.

Front-to-back thickness is increased by four millimeters, while the pentaprism/flash size is noticeably smaller. Finally it's obvious from this angle how much smaller the grip is; that'll be good for some, not for others depending on your hand size.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h3 style="font-size: 17px; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 5px;"&gt;Canon 60D Technical details&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Sensor&lt;/b&gt;. The Canon 60D's 18.0-megapixel, APS-C sized CMOS image sensor raises the resolution slightly from the Canon 50D's 15.1 megapixels, accompanied by a decrease in photodiode pitch from 4.7µm to 4.3µm. With dimensions of 22.3 x 14.9mm, the overall sensor size is unchanged, yielding the same 1.6x focal length crop. The new sensor also retains a four-channel readout design, like that of its predecessor.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;The maximum image dimensions for both JPEG and Raw still image shooting are 5,184 x 3,456 pixels. For Raw shooting, two reduced resolution options are available -- mRaw (3,888 x 2,592 pixels), and sRaw (2,592 x 1,728 pixels). JPEG shooters have four reduced resolution options -- 3,456 x 2,304 pixels, 2,592 x 1,728 pixels, 1,920 x 1,280 pixels, and 720 x 480 pixels.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Processor&lt;/b&gt;. Canon has retained their DIGIC 4 image processor in the EOS 60D. With increased resolution, but the same image processor and sensor readout design, something had to give. The Canon 60D's burst shooting speed hence falls to 5.3 frames per second, down from 6.3 frames per second in the 50D. Maximum burst depth is essentially unchanged, however, at 16 Raw images, or 58 large / fine JPEG images.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="photo right" style="background-color: #cccccc; float: right; font-size: smaller; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 6px; padding-bottom: 6px; padding-left: 6px; padding-right: 6px; padding-top: 6px; width: 250px;"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" height="167" src="http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/E60D/ZISOSETTINGS.GIF" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; margin-top: 0px;" width="250" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Sensitivity&lt;/b&gt;. Despite the increased resolution, and the corresponding decrease in photosite size, the Canon EOS 60D has an ISO sensitivity range of ISO 100 to 6,400 equivalents in 1/3 EV increments, with the ability to extend to ISO 12,800 equivalent. While the expanded range is unchanged from that of the Canon EOS 50D, the ISO 6,400 position has been moved inside the standard range, rather than being provided as an expanded setting. This is an indication of Canon's confidence in the 60D's noise performance. The Canon 60D also offers an Auto ISO function, which operates within the standard ISO 100 to 6,400 range. Basic Zone operating modes limit&lt;strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;sensitivity to ISO 3,200 equivalent.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="photo" style="background-color: #cccccc; font-size: smaller; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 6px; padding-bottom: 6px; padding-left: 6px; padding-right: 6px; padding-top: 6px; width: 650px;"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" height="504" src="http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/E60D/ZVIEWFINDER.GIF" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; margin-top: 0px;" width="650" /&gt;&lt;div class="caption-nb-long" style="font-size: 10px; font-style: italic; font-weight: normal; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Autofocus and metering&lt;/b&gt;. The Canon 60D's nine autofocus point locations are shown in the viewfinder diagram above as a diamond-shaped array of small squares. The larger nine by seven grid shows the location of the 63 metering zones. Note that the metering zones aren't actually shown in the Canon 60D's viewfinder, which includes only the AF point locations and spot metering circle from above.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Autofocus&lt;/b&gt;. The Canon 60D's AF sensor is unchanged from the 50D, and features a 9-point diamond array, with nine cross-type f/5.6 autofocus points, meaning that they're all sensitive to vertical or horizontal lines. Nestled in the center is an additional precision AF sensor that is arrayed diagonally and used when you mount a lens of f/2.8 or faster. It has the advantage of detecting both horizontal&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;and&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;vertical lines. All nine AF points can be selected automatically or manually, and the autofocus sensor has a working range of -0.5 to 18 EV (at 23°C / ISO 100). The Canon 60D includes the ability to detect the light source (including the color temperature and whether or not the light is pulsing), and then take these into account and microscopically shift the focus as necessary. Autofocus modes include One-shot, Predictive AI Servo AF, and AI Focus AF, which automatically selects between the One-shot and AI Servo modes.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;Unlike the 50D and 7D, the Canon 60D lacks the Lens AF Microadjustment custom function, which allows you to tune the camera's autofocus to compensate for lenses that back or front-focus. Not all lenses are tuned just right, but this tool can help make a slightly soft lens a whole lot better. It's a shame of an omission.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="photo right" style="background-color: #cccccc; float: right; font-size: smaller; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 6px; padding-bottom: 6px; padding-left: 6px; padding-right: 6px; padding-top: 6px; width: 250px;"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" height="167" src="http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/E60D/ZCAMERAUSER.GIF" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; margin-top: 0px;" width="250" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Exposure.&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;The Canon 60D provides a full complement of exposure modes, split into two distinct groups -- the Basic and Creative zones. The Basic zone comprises Full Auto, Flash Off, Creative Auto, Portrait, Landscape, Close-up (Macro), Sports, and Night Portrait modes. The Creative zone includes Program, Shutter-priority, Aperture-priority, Manual, and Bulb. There are also a Camera User setting, for registering settings for quick recall, and a Movie mode.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Metering.&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;The Canon 60D inherits Canon's latest metering system, previously seen in the EOS 7D and Rebel T2i. Where the 50D used a 35-zone metering sensor, the Canon 60D now includes a 63-zone iFCL sensor, which stands for Intelligent Focus, Color, and Luminance metering. The name hints at how the sensor works: the iFCL chip has a dual-layer design with each layer sensitive to different wavelengths of light, allowing subject color to be taken into account when determining exposure. Information on focusing points is also taken into account in metering calculations. In this area, the Canon 60D's iFCL chip differs from that of the EOS 7D, taking account of the 60D's nine-point AF, as distinct from the 19-point system in the 7D.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="photo left" style="background-color: #cccccc; float: left; font-size: smaller; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 12px; margin-top: 6px; padding-bottom: 6px; padding-left: 6px; padding-right: 6px; padding-top: 6px; width: 250px;"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" height="167" src="http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/E60D/ZEXPCOMPAEB.GIF" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; margin-top: 0px;" width="250" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;The Canon 60D's exposure metering options include 63-zone Evaluative, Center-weighted Average, Partial (6.5% of image frame at center), and Spot (2.8% of image frame) options. Metering sensitivity range is specified at 0 to 20 EV&amp;nbsp;(at 23°C/73°F, with EF 50mm f/1.4 USM lens, ISO&amp;nbsp;100). One notable change is that the Canon 60D now offers a wider exposure compensation range of +/- 5 stops, versus the +/- 3 stop range of the 50D. Granularity can still be adjusted, with a choice of either 1/3 or 1/2 EV steps. The Canon 60D also offers automatic exposure bracketing, within a range of +/- 2 stops, with the same step size choices.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="photo" style="background-color: #cccccc; font-size: smaller; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 6px; padding-bottom: 6px; padding-left: 6px; padding-right: 6px; padding-top: 6px; width: 650px;"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" height="377" src="http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/E60D/ZSHUTTERMECH.GIF" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; margin-top: 0px;" width="650" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Shutter.&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;Like the 50D, the Canon 60D offers shutter speeds ranging from 1/8,000 to 30 seconds, plus a bulb position. Maximum flash x-sync is at 1/250 second. The Canon 60D's electronically controlled, vertical-travel, mechanical focal-plane shutter still has a rated life of 100,000 cycles.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="photo right" style="background-color: #cccccc; float: right; font-size: smaller; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 6px; padding-bottom: 6px; padding-left: 6px; padding-right: 6px; padding-top: 6px; width: 250px;"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" height="167" src="http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/E60D/ZWHITEBALANCE.GIF" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; margin-top: 0px;" width="250" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;White balance.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;The Canon 60D offers a full range of White Balance settings, including six presets, an Auto setting (3,000 to 7,000K), a Custom setting, and the ability to directly select a Kelvin color temperature. The six presets include Daylight (5,200K), Shade (7,000K), Cloudy (6,000K), Tungsten (3,200K), White fluorescent (4,000K), and Flash. The Custom setting (2,000 to 10,000K) bases color balance on a previous exposure, meaning you can snap an image of a white card and then base the color temperature on that image. The Kelvin setting allows direct entry of a color temperature between 2,500 and 10,000K in 100K increments.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="photo right" style="background-color: #cccccc; float: right; font-size: smaller; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 6px; padding-bottom: 6px; padding-left: 6px; padding-right: 6px; padding-top: 6px; width: 250px;"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" height="167" src="http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/E60D/ZWBSHIFTBKT.GIF" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; margin-top: 0px;" width="250" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;A White Balance bracketing option snaps only one image, then writes three successive files from that single image. Bracketing steps are from -/+ 3 stops in whole-step increments. (Each stop corresponds to five mireds of a color conversion filter, for a total range of +/- 15 mireds. This corresponds to about a +/- 500K shift at a normal daylight color temperature of 5,500K.) There's also a White Balance Shift function, which lets you bias the color balance on green / magenta and blue / amber axes, within a +/-9 stop range in full-stop increments.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="photo right" style="background-color: #cccccc; float: right; font-size: smaller; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 6px; padding-bottom: 6px; padding-left: 6px; padding-right: 6px; padding-top: 6px; width: 250px;"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" height="167" src="http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/E60D/ZPICTURESTYLE.GIF" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; margin-top: 0px;" width="250" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;The EOS 60D&amp;nbsp;also retains Canon's Picture Style function, which lets you select from Standard, Portrait, Landscape, Neutral, Faithful, Monochrome, or three User Defined settings.&amp;nbsp;In each of the preset modes, the contrast, saturation, sharpness, and tone are set for specific conditions. The three User Defined options let you manually adjust each variable, then save it as a custom parameter. Finally, you can set the camera's color space to sRGB or Adobe RGB.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="photo left" style="background-color: #cccccc; float: left; font-size: smaller; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 12px; margin-top: 6px; padding-bottom: 6px; padding-left: 6px; padding-right: 6px; padding-top: 6px; width: 250px;"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" height="167" src="http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/E60D/ZFLASHCTRL.GIF" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; margin-top: 0px;" width="250" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Flash.&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;The Canon 60D includes a built-in popup flash, and a hot shoe for external flash strobes, but lacks the PC Sync terminal offered by the 50D and its predecessors. Maximum flash X-sync is 1/250 second. The Canon 60D's popup flash has a guide number rating of 43 feet (13 meters) at ISO 100, translating to a range of about 15 feet at ISO 100 with an f/2.8 lens. (Reasonably powerful, but not dramatically so.) The Canon 60D gives you a great deal of control over flash exposure, allowing you to adjust flash and ambient exposure independently of each other. Flash exposure compensation is possible within a +/- 3 EV range, in one-half or one-third EV increments. This makes it very easy to balance flash and ambient lighting for more natural-looking pictures.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;When attached via the hot shoe, three specific Canon external flash strobes -- the Speedlite 270EX, 430EX II, and 580EX II -- can be configured directly from the 60D's own rear LCD display. In addition to its hot shoe, the Canon 60D's flash can also serve as a built-in Speedlite transmitter, allowing it to control one or more compatible Canon strobes wirelessly. The Canon 60D uses E-TTL II flash metering for both the built-in and compatible external flashes, which include the more recent Canon EX-series strobes.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="photo" style="background-color: #cccccc; font-size: smaller; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 6px; padding-bottom: 6px; padding-left: 6px; padding-right: 6px; padding-top: 6px; width: 650px;"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" height="345" src="http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/E60D/ZVFDESIGN.GIF" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; margin-top: 0px;" width="650" /&gt;&lt;div class="caption-nb-long" style="font-size: 10px; font-style: italic; font-weight: normal; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Viewfinder design&lt;/b&gt;. The Canon EOS 60D's viewfinder design is shown above. The coverage has been improved ever so slightly, to 96%. Magnification and eyepoint are unchanged from the previous design, and the 60D's viewfinder accepts the same focusing screens as that from the 50D.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="photo left" style="background-color: #cccccc; float: left; font-size: smaller; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 12px; margin-top: 6px; padding-bottom: 6px; padding-left: 6px; padding-right: 6px; padding-top: 6px; width: 250px;"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" height="167" src="http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/E60D/ZVFSCREEN.GIF" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; margin-top: 0px;" width="250" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Viewfinder.&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;The Canon 60D features an eye-level pentaprism viewfinder similar to that of the 50D, but with slightly improved 96% coverage. By way of comparison, the Canon 7D has 100% coverage, and the 50D has 95% coverage. The viewfinder magnification is unchanged from the 50D, at 0.95x (-1m&lt;sup&gt;-1&lt;/sup&gt;&amp;nbsp;with 50mm lens at infinity), equating to a 27 degree field of view. Also unchanged is the eyepoint: 22mm from the center of the eyepiece lens.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;Just like the 50D, the Canon 60D provides a diopter adjustment range of -3.0 to +1.0m&lt;sup&gt;-1&lt;/sup&gt;. It also retains the its predecessor's ability to exchange focusing screens, and comes bundled with the same Ef-A&amp;nbsp;Precision-matte focusing screen by default.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="photo right" style="background-color: #cccccc; float: right; font-size: smaller; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 6px; padding-bottom: 6px; padding-left: 6px; padding-right: 6px; padding-top: 6px; width: 250px;"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" height="167" src="http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/E60D/ZLCDBRIGHTNESS.GIF" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; margin-top: 0px;" width="250" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;LCD.&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;Probably the most notable change on the exterior of the Canon 60D is its Vari-Angle LCD display, appearing for the first time in an EOS-series camera. The tilt mechanism allows the LCD to be folded out 90 degrees to the left of the 60D's body, while the 270-degree swivel mechanism allows the screen to be turned 180 degrees to face upward or forward, or 90 degrees in the opposite direction to face directly downward. This also allows the LCD to be stowed facing inward, offering a modicum of protection against light bumps, scratches, and fingerprints.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;The Canon 60D's screen comprises a three-inch Clear View TFT LCD panel -- the same diagonal size as the 50D's display, but with a wider 3:2 aspect ratio that matches that of the imager, rather than the 4:3 aspect ratio panel of the 50D. The change of aspect ratio also brings an increase in dot count from 920k to 1,040k dots, which roughly equates to a 720 x 480 pixel array. The Canon 60D's panel has 100% coverage, and includes a scratch-resistant fluorine coating. Display brightness is adjustable in seven steps.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="photo left" style="background-color: #cccccc; float: left; font-size: smaller; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 12px; margin-top: 6px; padding-bottom: 6px; padding-left: 6px; padding-right: 6px; padding-top: 6px; width: 250px;"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" height="167" src="http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/E60D/ZLIVEVIEW.GIF" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; margin-top: 0px;" width="250" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Live View.&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;The Canon 60D retains the Live View functionality from the 50D largely unchanged. The live view stream can be displayed either on the camera's 3.0-inch LCD panel, or on a tethered Windows or Macintosh computer using Canon's EOS Utility software. Three focus modes are offered in Live View mode, each providing advantages and disadvantages. In Quick mode, the Canon 60D drops the mirror back down to use the phase-detect autofocus sensors for focusing, potentially offering faster autofocusing operation, but with an interruption to the live view feed, and more noise from the mirror mechanism. In Live mode, the Canon 60D instead uses contrast-detect autofocus on data from the image sensor. The autofocus operation itself is slower, but there's no delay to lower and raise the mirror, nor any noise from mirror operation, and the Live View mode remains uninterrupted. Since the AF operation is performed using sensor data, contrast detection can provide more accurate focusing if there's sufficient contrast in the subject, and the focus point can be moved anywhere within the image frame, except for the extreme edges. Finally, Live Face Detection mode operates identically to Live mode, except that it adds the ability to detect faces in the image frame, and automatically sets focus on the dominant (or user selected) face.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="photo right" style="background-color: #cccccc; float: right; font-size: smaller; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 6px; padding-bottom: 6px; padding-left: 6px; padding-right: 6px; padding-top: 6px; width: 250px;"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" height="167" src="http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/E60D/ZLIVEVIEWDISPLAY.GIF" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; margin-top: 0px;" width="250" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;The Canon 60D Live View mode also allows manual focusing, and provides a focus-assist zoom function that allows a portion of the scene to be viewed at either 5x or 10x magnification, making it much easier to perform fine manual focusing adjustments. The live view stream has a 30 frames-per-second refresh rate, and it is possible to overlay grids on the display to help with precise framing. Two silent shooting modes are available that reduce noise from the camera's shutter mechanism. In Silent Shooting mode 1, the 60D uses an electronic first curtain shutter, removing the need to close and reopen the mechanical shutter between Live View terminating, and the image exposure starting. It also reduces noise further by slowing recocking of the mechanical shutter's second curtain after exposure. Silent Shooting mode 2 does the same, but also delays the slowed recocking of the second curtain until the shutter button is released, allowing the photographer to select an appropriate moment when the noise will cause least disturbance.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Movie.&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;Brand new to the Canon 60D is its movie recording capability, fast becoming a common function even among entry-level DSLRs, and at this point an absolute must-have feature for an enthusiast camera. The Canon 60D's video functionality is largely similar to that of the consumer-grade Rebel T2i model, but with the addition of the audio levels control functionality that's available in the 5D Mark II v2.0.4 update, and the wind cut filter function from the 7D.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;Canon has provided three choices for movie resolution, all recorded as progressive scan video using H.264 compression. For High Definition fans, there's a 1,920 x 1,080 pixel mode -- commonly known as Full HD or 1080p -- saved at either 30, 25, or 24 frames per second. There's also a 1,280 x 720 pixel (720p) mode recorded at either 60 or 50 frames per second. Finally, there's a standard-definition 640 x 480 pixel (VGA) mode which is also recorded at either 60 or 50 frames per second.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;The Canon 60D also offers the company's VGA crop function, as seen in the Rebel T2i, which works by simply cropping and recording the centermost 640 x 480 pixels from the sensor. This yields an effective 7x fixed zoom without interpolating the video. Of course, simply cropping the center of the image means that everything (including image noise) will be recorded at 1:1, so video has noticeably higher quality with the crop disabled. Still, for consumers who may well not be able to afford expensive telephoto lenses and only need standard-def output, it's an interesting feature.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="photo left" style="background-color: #cccccc; float: left; font-size: smaller; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 12px; margin-top: 6px; padding-bottom: 6px; padding-left: 6px; padding-right: 6px; padding-top: 6px; width: 250px;"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" height="167" src="http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/E60D/ZMOVIEREVIEW.GIF" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; margin-top: 0px;" width="250" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;For sound capture, the Canon 60D includes both an internal, monaural microphone, and an external 3.5mm stereo microphone jack, and movie audio is captured as 16-bit, 48KHz linear PCM. The audio levels function mentioned previously provides 64-step control of audio gain, although the 60D can also be set to control levels automatically if desired. The wind-cut filter function acts similarly to that from the EOS 7D, but can optionally be disabled. When active, it reduces recording levels below 100 hertz.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;Movie recording is started and stopped with sequential presses of the Live View / Movie button, adjacent to the optical viewfinder on the Canon 60D's rear panel. Movie recording is only possible when the 60D's Mode dial is set to the Movie position, and in other operating modes the same button is used to initiate or terminate Live View display. Movie-related settings are located in their own Movie tabs of the Menu system, which are only accessible when Movie mode is active. It's possible to capture a still image during movie recording by pressing the Shutter button, but this does briefly interrupt the video stream. Captured still images will be recorded as if the camera were in Program mode, with the current still image quality settings. It's also possible to control movie capture remotely, using the RC-1, RC-5, or RC-6 remote controls. The RC-1's immediate release control allows still image capture remotely during movie recording, and both the RC-1 and RC-5's two-second delay controls start or stop movie recording immediately.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;In Movie mode, the Canon 60D provides both Program auto and Manual exposure control, but not Aperture- or Shutter-priority. When using Manual exposure, 60D videographers can set the shutter speed, aperture, and ISO sensitivity (optionally -- Auto ISO is available) before recording starts, but these variables can't be changed during video capture. Canon's Highlight Tone Priority function is available when using Manual exposure. For Program exposure, metering is locked to Center-weighted unless Face Detection is enabled, in which case Evaluative metering is used. In either case, +/-3.0 EV of exposure compensation is available in 1/3 or 1/2 EV steps, and it's also possible to use the autoexposure lock function to prevent the exposure level changing during recording. Available shutter speeds for movie recording range from 1/4,000 to 1/30 second, if recording at 30, 25, or 24 frames per second, and from 1/4,000 to 1/60 second if recording at 50 or 60 frames per second. Movie sensitivities range from ISO 100 to 6,400 equivalents. The same White Balance and Picture Style settings as in still image recording are also applicable for video capture.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="photo right" style="background-color: #cccccc; float: right; font-size: smaller; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 6px; padding-bottom: 6px; padding-left: 6px; padding-right: 6px; padding-top: 6px; width: 250px;"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" height="167" src="http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/E60D/ZMOVIEEDIT.GIF" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; margin-top: 0px;" width="250" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;The Canon 60D inherits the Rebel T2i's unusual ability to use autofocus&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;during&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;movie recording. Continuous autofocus isn't available, so you have to manually trigger single AF operations as needed with a half-press of the shutter button. The feature is something of a tradeoff, because the AF operation is clearly visible in the video, even if Canon's contrast detection AF implementation doesn't hunt around the point of focus as much as some we've seen. AF noise is also very clearly captured on the movie's audio track, at least when using the internal microphone, although using quieter USM lenses can mitigate this somewhat, and AF noise can be avoided altogether by using a good directional mic on a shock mount. Pros will certainly want to stick with focusing manually (and can choose to disable AF during movie capture to prevent accidental operation), but some enthusiast photographers may appreciate being given the choice as to whether they feel the convenience of AF is worth putting up with the drawbacks. If focusing manually, 5x or 10x focus assist is possible before recording starts, but not during movie capture, since this would preclude the ability to monitor subject framing. Of course, before movie capture begins, either phase-detection or contrast-detection autofocus is possible, with the same provisos as in regular Live View shooting.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;In Playback mode, the Canon 60D can play captured movies at full speed, or in slow motion with user control over the playback speed. It's also possible to jump to the first or last frame, and to step through the movie clip one frame at a time in either direction. You can also edit movies in-camera, by chopping off either the beginning or end of the clip, but only in one-second increments. The result can be saved as a new file, or overwrite the existing file.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="photo right" style="background-color: #cccccc; float: right; font-size: smaller; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 6px; padding-bottom: 6px; padding-left: 6px; padding-right: 6px; padding-top: 6px; width: 250px;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/E60D/ZLEVELGAUGE-LG.GIF" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" height="122" src="http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/E60D/ZLEVELGAUGE.JPG" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; margin-top: 0px;" width="250" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="caption-long" style="font-size: 11px; font-weight: normal; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;The level&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;gauge can also be shown in the viewfinder and top-panel info LCDs..&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Electronic level.&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;The Canon 60D provides a dual-axis electronic level function, reminiscent of that previously seen in the EOS 7D. The 60D's electronic level is shown on the rear-panel LCD display when in the correct display mode, both for live view and regular shooting. The level gauge can also be shown both on the top-panel status LCD display, and the small info display in the optical viewfinder, by pressing the Set button, if configured to do so.&lt;strong style="color: red;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;The electronic level display functions in one-degree increments.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="photo left" style="background-color: #cccccc; float: left; font-size: smaller; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 12px; margin-top: 6px; padding-bottom: 6px; padding-left: 6px; padding-right: 6px; padding-top: 6px; width: 250px;"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" height="167" src="http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/E60D/ZCOPYRIGHT.GIF" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; margin-top: 0px;" width="250" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Copyright info&lt;/strong&gt;. As first seen in the Canon 7D, you can input copyright information right on the Canon 60D, as well as delete it at will. Captured images are tagged with the copyright information in the EXIF header, and is accessible in many Windows and Macintosh image editors, although it's easy to change or remove after the fact. The copyright information function is now available in models spanning all levels of Canon's digital SLR lineup, from entry level to professional.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Vignetting correction&lt;/strong&gt;. The Canon 60D retains the Lens Peripheral Illumination Correction function that debuted in the 50D. Also known as vignetting correction, this function automatically reduces the severity of lens vignetting, which is visible as shading in the corners of an image. The function can be disabled, and works by default with a subset of Canon's most common EF-mount lenses. Data for additional lenses can be uploaded to the camera via the EOS Utility software, as needed. The Lens Peripheral Illumination correction function will work for any focal length, f-stop, or focus distance.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="photo right" style="background-color: #cccccc; float: right; font-size: smaller; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 6px; padding-bottom: 6px; padding-left: 6px; padding-right: 6px; padding-top: 6px; width: 250px;"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" height="167" src="http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/E60D/ZALO.GIF" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; margin-top: 0px;" width="250" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Auto Lighting Optimizer&lt;/strong&gt;. The Auto Lighting Optimizer function from the 50D has been retained unchanged for the Canon 60D. It allows the photographer to expose for the highlights, and then the camera adjusts the image to open up the shadows during image capture. On the Canon 60D, ALO has four settings, including Off, Low, Medium, or Strong.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Highlight Tone Priority.&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;The Canon 60D also retains the 50D's Highlight Tone Priority function, which biases the dynamic range to retain more detail in the highlight areas -- important for wedding photographs, where white dresses typically have blown detail.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="photo right" style="background-color: #cccccc; float: right; font-size: smaller; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 6px; padding-bottom: 6px; padding-left: 6px; padding-right: 6px; padding-top: 6px; width: 250px;"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" height="167" src="http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/E60D/ZNOISEREDUCTION.GIF" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; margin-top: 0px;" width="250" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Noise Reduction.&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;The Canon 60D offers two types of adjustable noise reduction. Long Exposure noise reduction can be performed for exposures one second or longer, and works by taking a second "dark frame" of equal duration with the shutter closed, and then subtracting it from the first frame.&amp;nbsp;This reduces or eliminates most noise generated by the sensor during long exposures at low ISOs, but can make noise worse at higher ISOs (at ISO 1,600 and above). Available settings are Off, Auto and On. The 60D also offers the user four levels of high ISO&amp;nbsp;sensitivity noise reduction. Options are Disable, Low, Standard, and Strong.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="photo right" style="background-color: #cccccc; float: right; font-size: smaller; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 6px; padding-bottom: 6px; padding-left: 6px; padding-right: 6px; padding-top: 6px; width: 250px;"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" height="167" src="http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/E60D/ZCREATIVEFILTERS.GIF" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; margin-top: 0px;" width="250" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Creative effects.&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;New for the Canon 60D are a series of Creative Filter functions, similar to those seen previously in the company's PowerShot compact camera models, and fairly common in digital SLRs from rival manufacturers. The Canon 60D's creative filters include Soft Focus, Grainy Black &amp;amp; White, Toy Camera effect (which has strong vignetting and some color shift), and Miniature Effect (which simulates shallow depth of field by applying a graduated blur near opposite edges of the image.) The strength of each effect is adjustable, as is the angle of the miniature effect. The Canon 60D also offers a selection of aspect ratio settings in-camera, allowing photographers to shoot their images with a specific print format in mind, avoiding the need to manually crop images in post-processing.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Geek-free printing.&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;The Canon 60D complies with both the PictBridge and DPOF v1.1 (Digital Print Order Format) standards, both aimed at simplifying the task of obtaining prints for the computer-averse, or the photographer looking for hard-copy output with the minimum of fuss. PictBridge allows the Canon 60D to be connected directly to compatible printers via its USB cable, and prints made of both Raw and JPEG images. Available controls include paper size, paper type, layout, printing effects, date and time imprinting, cropping, and tilt correction (+/- 10 degrees in 0.5 degree increments). The Canon 60D includes Canon's Direct Print button, which allows the image currently being viewed in Playback mode to be queued to the attached PictBridge printer.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;DPOF allows a print order to be created and written alongside the images on the flash card, specifying which images are to be printed, how many copies are needed of each image, etc. The flash card can then be inserted in a DPOF-compatible device, or given to a photo retailer for the appropriate prints to be made.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="photo" style="background-color: #cccccc; font-size: smaller; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 6px; padding-bottom: 6px; padding-left: 6px; padding-right: 6px; padding-top: 6px; width: 650px;"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" height="428" src="http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/E60D/ZDUSTMECH.GIF" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; margin-top: 0px;" width="650" /&gt;&lt;div class="caption-nb-long" style="font-size: 10px; font-style: italic; font-weight: normal; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Sensor assembly&lt;/b&gt;. The Canon 60D's sensor assembly includes a fluorine coating on the low pass filter to prevent dust adhesion, and a piezoelectric element that vibrates the low pass filter to shake off any stubborn particles..&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="photo left" style="background-color: #cccccc; float: left; font-size: smaller; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 12px; margin-top: 6px; padding-bottom: 6px; padding-left: 6px; padding-right: 6px; padding-top: 6px; width: 250px;"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" height="167" src="http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/E60D/ZDUSTDELETE.GIF" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; margin-top: 0px;" width="250" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Dust reduction.&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;The Canon 60D includes Canon's EOS Integrated Cleaning System, first introduced on the EOS Rebel XTi camera. The camera's Self-Cleaning Sensor Unit uses a piezoelectric element to shake dust particles off of the low-pass filter in front of the sensor. The dust is then trapped by an adhesive strip along the base, preventing it from causing further nuisance. Cleaning is engaged each time the camera is powered up or shut down, or manually through the "clean now" function. The second part of the cleaning system involves post processing with a compatible personal computer and the supplied Digital Photo Professional software. Via a menu option, the camera maps any stubborn dust spots that remain on the sensor after cleaning, saving their locations as Dust Delete Data that can subsequently be used to subtract the spots during post-processing. A third option includes a manual sensor cleaning function which raises the mirror and allows users to clean dust that may have stuck to the low-pass filter.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="photo right" style="background-color: #cccccc; float: right; font-size: smaller; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 6px; padding-bottom: 6px; padding-left: 6px; padding-right: 6px; padding-top: 6px; width: 250px;"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" height="167" src="http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/E60D/ZHDMICEC.GIF" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; margin-top: 0px;" width="250" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Connectivity.&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;For transferring data to a computer or PictBridge-compatible printer, the Canon 60D includes a standard USB 2.0 High Speed connection. The Canon 60D can also be connected to high-definition displays via its mini HDMI output, which features Consumer Electronics Control (HDMI-CEC) compatibility, allowing certain playback functions to be controlled from the attached display's remote control. For photographers still using standard-definition equipment, the Canon 60D also includes a composite audio / video output connection, which is NTSC / PAL switchable. The standard-definition video cable is included in the product bundle, but the HDMI cable is not.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;Other connectivity includes a 3.5mm external stereo microphone input, and a remote control port compatible with the optional wired Canon RS-60E3 Remote Switch. The Canon 60D is also compatible with the wireless RC-1, RC-5, and RC-6 infrared remote controllers.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Storage.&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;The Canon 60D stores images on Secure Digital cards, including both Secure Digital High Capacity (SDHC), and the latest generation Secure Digital eXtended Capacity (SDXC) types. The Canon 60D is also compatible with Eye-Fi's WiFi-capable SD cards, and includes support for checking Eye-Fi card status on the 60D's LCD display.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Power.&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;The Canon 60D uses the same LP-E6 battery pack that's used in the EOS 7D, but is incompatible with the battery packs previously used by the EOS 20D, 30D, 40D, and 50D. Canon says that the EOS 60D is capable of capturing up to 1,100 shots with flash usage, or 1,600 shots without flash. The Canon 60D also includes a built-in secondary battery, used to maintain the correct date and time when the main battery pack is removed or discharged. The secondary battery charges automatically when the removable battery is inserted, and when fully charged, can maintain the camera's clock for around three months. For long-term power, such as in studio shooting, the Canon 60D is compatible with the company's ACK-E6 AC Adapter Kit.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Accessories.&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;The Canon 60D is compatible with the newly designed battery grip, which also provides duplicate controls for portrait shooting. Canon has also introduced a new E2 hand strap with the Canon 60D, addressing some users' concerns that neck straps can be restrictive, or simply get in the way, especially when you're using the Vari-angle LCD screen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;h3 style="font-size: 17px; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 5px;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Canon 60D Image quality&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;For us, the real work of a modern image sensor and processor is done in low light. So we like to show some benchmark images from a camera, starting at ISO 1,600 and moving up, as well as a selection of Gallery images shot out in daylight. Since we didn't have the Canon 60D at our lab near Atlanta, we went out shooting on Long Island, NY at Old Westbury Gardens.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;table bgcolor="#cccccc" border="0" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="4" style="font-size: 11px; width: 266px;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 3px; padding-left: 3px; padding-right: 3px; padding-top: 3px; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;High-ISO Comparison Shots&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 3px; padding-left: 3px; padding-right: 3px; padding-top: 3px; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" height="340" src="http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/E60D/z60Ddarkroom_01600_510.jpg" width="510" /&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td bgcolor="#cccccc" style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 3px; padding-left: 3px; padding-right: 3px; padding-top: 3px; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;div class="caption-long" style="font-size: 11px; font-weight: normal; text-align: left;"&gt;Here's a sample of the shot from which we're cropping below, the dining room of the Westbury House. Though it looks well-illuminated here, it was quite a bit darker than this.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;The staff at the Westbury House kindly gave us special permission to photograph inside the house itself, as photographs are normally prohibited. The period decor and particularly the relatively dark lighting in the dining room offered a good test of the Canon 60D's high-ISO ability. We compared its images with those from a Rebel T2i, that being the most recent model using a similar 18-megpixel sensor, and hence was the one that would likely be the most competitive with the 60D's image quality. Shots with both cameras were captured with the same copy of Canon's excellent 24-70mm f/2.8L lens, at 24mm and an aperture of f/7.1. Exposure levels between the two cameras are very slightly different, as minor variation in outside light between the two sets of shots and/or slight differences in the cameras' sensitivity meant we had to adjust shutter times slightly to arrive at the same brightness. (The light variation was probably just over a third of an f-stop; that was the smallest adjustment we could make in shutter speed, and the T2i shots ended up slightly brighter, despite their having exposure times about 1/3 EV shorter.) The lens was focused on the vase at the back of the room, just to the left of center, using magnified live view for best accuracy, and the camera was mounted on a massive Manfrotto studio tripod to avoid any vibration.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;As you'll see below, the engineers have managed to eke out just a bit more crispness and detail in the Canon 60D than in its already-excellent predecessor. Check our&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/E60D/E60DGALLERY.HTM"&gt;Canon 60D Gallery page&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;and&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/T2I/T2IGALLERY.HTM" target="_blank"&gt;Canon T2i Gallery page&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;for links to both JPEG and RAW versions of these images, as well as another set from a more brightly-lit room. Remember, this is comparing one excellent camera against another at 100 percent onscreen, and unless you print a massive image, you won't see the difference in a print.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;h3 style="font-size: 17px; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 5px;"&gt;Canon 60D versus Canon T2i at ISO 1,600&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;table bgcolor="#cccccc" border="0" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="4" style="font-size: 11px; width: 180px;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 3px; padding-left: 3px; padding-right: 3px; padding-top: 3px; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" height="250" src="http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/E60D/zd60darkroom_1600a.jpg" width="250" /&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 3px; padding-left: 3px; padding-right: 3px; padding-top: 3px; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" height="250" src="http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/T2I/zt2idarkroom_1600a.jpg" width="250" /&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 3px; padding-left: 3px; padding-right: 3px; padding-top: 3px; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" height="250" src="http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/E60D/zd60darkroom_1600b.jpg" width="250" /&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 3px; padding-left: 3px; padding-right: 3px; padding-top: 3px; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" height="250" src="http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/T2I/zt2idarkroom_1600b.jpg" width="250" /&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td bgcolor="#cccccc" style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 3px; padding-left: 3px; padding-right: 3px; padding-top: 3px; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;div class="caption-long" style="font-size: 11px; font-weight: normal; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Canon 60D at ISO 1,600&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td bgcolor="#cccccc" style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 3px; padding-left: 3px; padding-right: 3px; padding-top: 3px; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;div class="caption-long" style="font-size: 11px; font-weight: normal; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Canon T2i at ISO 1,600&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td bgcolor="#cccccc" colspan="2" style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 3px; padding-left: 3px; padding-right: 3px; padding-top: 3px; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;div class="caption-long" style="font-size: 11px; font-weight: normal; text-align: left;"&gt;At ISO 1,600 it's hard to see much difference between the two cameras.

The gentleman's eyes are still more distinct in the 60D shot, but I might prefer the T2i's softer rendering at this ISO level. It's a pretty close call. Both cameras handle the scene quite well.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;Just two years ago, ISO 12,800 was a throwaway setting at best, with the 50D turning out nasty images fraught with overt banding, visible even in a thumbnail. Today I look at ISO 12,800 from the Canon 60D and T2i and have a hard time finding much to comment on. It's impressive. Feel free to shoot in near-darkness.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="photo-nb right" style="background-color: white; float: right; font-size: smaller; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 6px; width: 167px;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/E60D/YIMG_0038.HTM"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" height="250" src="http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/E60D/THUMBS250/YIMG_0038.JPG" width="167" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="caption-long" style="font-size: 11px; font-weight: normal; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Movin'&lt;/b&gt;. Shot at f/6.3 and 1/250 second, this guy was moving fast from flower to flower. It's not tack sharp, but I'm glad I caught the motion of its wings.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;h3 style="font-size: 17px; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 5px;"&gt;Shooting with the Canon 60D&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;by Shawn Barnett&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;I left Dave to take pictures inside the hot, non-airconditioned Westbury House, instead wandering out into the Old Westbury Gardens on a very hot day. The good news was that plants love hot days, and the gardens were replete with interesting flowers, birds, and butterflies. Since I knew that I'd only be able to make one pass, I shot primarily with the Canon 60D's kit lens, the EF-S 18-135mm. It's a versatile optic that's well-suited for a walk in the park.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="photo-nb left" style="background-color: white; float: left; font-size: smaller; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 12px; margin-top: 6px; width: 167px;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/E60D/YIMG_9997.HTM"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" height="250" src="http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/E60D/THUMBS250/YIMG_9997.JPG" width="167" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="caption-long" style="font-size: 11px; font-weight: normal; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Lush&lt;/b&gt;. This was such a varied and photogenic garden.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;Despite a large number of changes to the Canon 60D's user interface, it was still largely familiar. I have to admit that though I'm disappointed that some functions no longer have a button, I found the control layout very efficient. Pulling up the Quick menu is how you get most things done, using the rear status display. I still habitually changed ISO and Drive modes on the top deck most of the time, but it was a lot easier than it is on my 20D, thanks to the simpler one-button, one-function philosophy.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;I also appreciated the smaller size of the Canon 60D. It's not dramatically smaller, but is better for a walk than the 50D was. I don't think it's as small as my now ancient 20D, but I think the grip is smaller, and will be more comfortable for a wider array of users.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="photo-nb right" style="background-color: white; float: right; font-size: smaller; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-left: 6px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 6px; width: 167px;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/E60D/YIMG_0105.HTM"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" height="250" src="http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/E60D/THUMBS250/YIMG_0105.JPG" width="167" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/E60D/YIMG_0109.HTM"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" height="250" src="http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/E60D/THUMBS250/YIMG_0109.JPG" width="167" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="caption-long" style="font-size: 11px; font-weight: normal; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Zoom range&lt;/b&gt;. Just a quick demonstration of the 18-135mm's range. That's a sun dial on the top of that tower, by the way.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;As on the Pentax K-7, the Canon 60D's Mode dial has a lock in the middle. It doesn't bother me at all, and as I mentioned earlier I had it on my old EOS Elan, and it worked great. But it bugs Dave to no end. We both use a lot of cameras, so it's just a matter of taste. Since no recent Canon SLR has had a locking Mode dial, I predict so many people will stumble over it that Canon won't do it again for a while. We'll see.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="photo-nb left" style="background-color: white; float: left; font-size: smaller; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 12px; margin-top: 6px; width: 250px;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/E60D/YIMG_0173.HTM"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" height="167" src="http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/E60D/THUMBS250/YIMG_0173.JPG" width="250" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="caption-long" style="font-size: 11px; font-weight: normal; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Narrow DOF&lt;/b&gt;. Thoroughly enjoyed shooting the freakishly large and bright EF 85mm f/1.2 optic indoors.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;As usual, I took a very large number of pictures. In a place like the Old Westbury Gardens, there's plenty to catch a photographer's eye. Most of them were reasonably sharp, especially considering the extremely high resolution of this sensor and the relatively low retail price of this vacation lens (around $500). There's some softness in the macro shots, which are handheld snapshots grabbed on the fly; it wouldn't be my first choice for such photography, but I wanted to demonstrate what the Canon 60D kit can do, and I thought it did pretty well.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;Later I went inside the Westbury House and took some shots indoors with the extremely fast (and heavy) EF 85mm f/1.2 lens. The lens was so bright that I chose to dial the EV back by -1.3 to keep the dark look to the rooms, while still maintaining the ridiculously smooth bokeh. At that point I was having more fun with the lens than the camera, but that's testament to how quickly the Canon 60D got out of my way and just let me take pictures, which is what it's all about.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="photo-nb left" style="background-color: white; float: left; font-size: smaller; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 12px; margin-top: 6px; width: 300px;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/E60D/FULLRES/MVI_0098.MOV" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" height="169" src="http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/E60D/ZMVI_0098.JPG" width="300" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="caption-long" style="font-size: 11px; font-weight: normal; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Waddle&lt;/b&gt;. I enjoyed watching this family walk away from the rest of the crowd. A photo is good, but I was happy when I remembered I could take a video of them. (Click on the image to download a 52MB file. Note that you'll need a fast processor and a high-res screen to view this Full HD video)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;Shooting video was also easy once I switched to the Movie mode before pressing the Record Start button (I've grown accustomed to the Canon 7D's switch/button arrangement). I got some humorous videos of geese pecking at and walking along on the grass. I don't think I had the wind filter activated, so there's some wind noise in the shot. Not that wind filters ever fully remove wind noise.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;One major item disappointed me about the Canon 60D. I own two lenses that front and back focus by a touch, and I've been waiting for the 60D to come so that I could correct for those problems with the Lens AF Microfocus Adjustment feature that was on the 50D, 7D, and other Canon pro SLRs, but not on the Rebels. Deletion of this feature is a strange choice that I just don't get from Canon's perspective. Yes, it forces more advanced photographers like me to buy a 7D, but not all can afford such a camera. Besides, who doesn't want a way to make their lenses sharper? Wouldn't Canon benefit if people could have their photographer friends show them how to tune their lenses to be even better? It seems like a no-brainer to me, and it should be a pretty easy software fix. To omit it from a high-end camera whose predecessors have the feature just doesn't make sense. Perhaps they don't want to field the support calls when curious newbies find and adjust the feature and suddenly all their pictures are blurry. It's possible.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;Aside from that issue, I really enjoyed shooting with the Canon 60D. I like its reduced size, simplified controls, including the new integrated 8-way controller and Quick Control dial. The big 8-way disk allowed me to easily change AF points with a quick press, just like the joystick used to do. I forgot to use the Vari-angle display until I started doing contortions to get the right angle while shooting indoors. It's very nice to have on an SLR. The 18-135mm kit lens is a near ideal lens for their new target market, with reasonable sharpness and a handy 7.5x zoom range, not to mention a pretty solid image stabilization system. Given the high resolution of the Canon 60D I recommend hobbyists consider some sharper optics for more serious work, and a medium prime lens or two.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/732047-REG/Canon_4460B003_EOS_60D_DSLR_Digital.html?BI=771&amp;amp;KW=&amp;amp;KBID=1047&amp;amp;img=bh-eos60d-IR.gif" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://www.bhphotovideo.com/images/affiliateimages/bh-eos60d-IR.gif" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;img border="0" src="http://affiliates.bhphotovideo.com/showban.asp?id=1047&amp;amp;img=bh-eos60d-IR.gif" /&gt;&lt;div style="font-size: 11px;"&gt;Ultimately, the Canon 60D is built for a different market. Canon has long since lured many serious 50D shooters to the 7D and 5D Mark II; now it appears their goal is to lure the Rebel shooters to the Canon 60D and more directly compete with the Nikon D90. That's probably just the right strategy. Most of the important features from the 7D and T2i are included in the Canon 60D, as well as the audio level control from the 5D Mark II and the swivel screen from the Canon G11. It seems like every Canon line has contributed a little something to Canon's entry-level prosumer digital SLR, and the results are quite good.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7890444354702833061-6747355860188018810?l=gavrielt.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://www.facebook.com/pages/Gabriele-Tolisano-Photography/172505446108499' title='Canon 60D review by Imaging Resources'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://gavrielt.blogspot.com/feeds/6747355860188018810/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7890444354702833061&amp;postID=6747355860188018810' title='0 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7890444354702833061/posts/default/6747355860188018810'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7890444354702833061/posts/default/6747355860188018810'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://gavrielt.blogspot.com/2011/01/canon-60d-review-by-imaging-resources.html' title='Canon 60D review by Imaging Resources'/><author><name>Gabriele Tolisano</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05684750316628639163</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='21' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_NB1q6559XhY/SISIyD15QzI/AAAAAAAAAEQ/7YLSKLF4IRs/S220/M+104.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7890444354702833061.post-1165372403701947425</id><published>2011-01-23T09:55:00.001+01:00</published><updated>2011-01-23T09:55:22.646+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Nikon D7000 la reflex di lusso ad un prezzo competitvo</title><content type='html'>&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 14.4px; line-height: 16px;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="clear: both; display: block; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; width: 645px;"&gt;Nikon ha aggiornato il proprio catalogo reflex con la&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;D7000&lt;/b&gt;, un modello di fascia alta con caratteristiche moderne, sia per il design per le soluzioni tecniche.

D'altronde anche noi di Hi-Tech Italy vi avevamo avvertito dell'imminente annuncio, ed oggi è finalmente arrivata la conferma tutti i relativi dettagli.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Il nuovo netbook Apple è il primo rappresentante in assoluto della nuova gamma di portatile della Mela, l'unico finora a vantare tecnologia e funzioni provenienti dai modelli MacBook Pro e iPad. Tutto suggerirebbe l'arrivo di un nuovo diretto concorrente nel mercato netbook, eppure stando alle prestazioni (e al prezzo) la fascia di prodotti di riferimento è chiaramente più alta.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Primo motivo di distinzione è il definitivo abbandono degli hard disk per i più prestazionali dispositivi di memoria flash allo stato solido (SSD). Il progetto in effetti pare proprio essere concepito attorno ai vantaggi che un solid state disk è in grado di conferire alla macchina. Dimensioni, peso, consumi, tempi di avvio e prestazioni sono per questo ottimizzati.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lo spessore parte da 0,3 cm nei punti più sottili fino a 1,7 cm della parte più alta; il peso varia da 1,06 kg per il modello 11,6" a 1,32 kg per il 13,3". Il MacBook Air 11" ha un'autonomia dichiarata fino a 5 ore di utilizzo destinate ad aumentare a 7 nel modello 13", mentre 30 giorni è il tempo massimo di funzionamento dei due modelli in modalità standby. Il materiale principale di cui è composta la scocca protettiva è alluminio.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Grazie alle strutture in all'uminio sono stati ridotti i materiali di scarto e sono invece aumentati quelli riciclabili. L'EPEAT Gold, il gardino più alto nella scala di certificazione sul rispetto dell'ambiente di un prodotto, assegnato al MacBook Air certifica il suo basso impatto ambientale sulla base del suo grado di riciclabilità, consumo d'energia e alla sua progettazione e costruzione.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All'interno del MacBook Air 11" può risiedere un processore Intel Core 2 Duo da 1,4 GHz o uno da 1,6 GHz, mentre nel MacBook Air 13" vi può essere installato un Intel Core 2 Duo da 1,86 GHz o uno più performante da 2,13 GHz. Per entrambi i modelli è prevista una scheda grafica nVidia GeForce 320M. Oltre lo schermo di diverse dimensioni, i due modelli si distinguono per memoria flash installata di 64 Gb o 128 Gb per il modello 11" e 128 Gb o 256 Gb per quello da 13".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I pannelli montati nel MacBook Air sono retroilluminati a LED, ad alta luminosità e risoluzione. In caso di necessità è possibile usufruire dell'uscita Mini DisplayPort per il collegamento con l'Apple LED Cinema Display 27" o proiettori e TV HD.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I nuovi netbook Apple sono dotati di provvisti di connessione Wi-Fi 802.11n, Bluetooth 2.1+EDR, due porte USB e uno slot SD card esclusivo al modello 13". MacBook Air è inoltre dotato di tastiera di dimensioni regolari (79 tast) e trackpad multi-touch in vetro.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;L'Apple Store ha già incluso nel suo catalogo il nuovo MacBook Air, sebbene il netbook è già in vendita anche presso i Retail Store e tutti i rivenditori autorizzati.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I prezzi base al pubblico sono di 999 euro per il MacBook Air 11" e 1299 euro per MacBook Air 13".&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7890444354702833061-5156178607957228351?l=gavrielt.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://gavrielt.blogspot.com/feeds/5156178607957228351/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7890444354702833061&amp;postID=5156178607957228351' title='0 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7890444354702833061/posts/default/5156178607957228351'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7890444354702833061/posts/default/5156178607957228351'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://gavrielt.blogspot.com/2010/10/tecnologia-macbook-air-e-ufficiale.html' title='TECNOLOGIA: MacBook Air è ufficiale anche in Italia, ecco i dettagli'/><author><name>Gabriele Tolisano</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00418927807679947477</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ufVW4_TSiWs/S4ZKiQVSXYI/AAAAAAAAAK0/Tj08zzPaXPU/S220/winter+5.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7890444354702833061.post-4561798943190792569</id><published>2010-10-25T12:42:00.001+02:00</published><updated>2010-10-25T12:43:51.092+02:00</updated><title type='text'>TECNOLOGIA: Nuovo Mac Book Air nuovo design vecchio processore?</title><content type='html'>Perché il nuovo MacBook Air monta un processore anzianotto?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finalmente, dopo un’attesa durata due anni e mezzo, il MacBook Air è stato aggiornato. Immagino che molti si sarebbero aspettati una CPU un po’ più performante, magari per consentire un’esperienza di navigazione web completa (con contenuti Flash) e veloce. Pare che ancora una volta le loro aspettative siano state disattese. Il Core 2 Duo è ancora tra noi all’interno del nuovo modello (in entrambe le versioni).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Supposto che le intenzioni di Apple fossero quelle di migliorare sensibilmente le performance del nuovo gioiello ultra-sottile, la scelta dell’anziana CPU appare come un grande smacco agli ultimi sforzi di Intel. L’azienda leader nella produzione di processori, infatti, ha sviluppato la linea Arrandale: processori con lavorazione a 32nm con northbridge e GPU integrate nello stesso package; tuttavia Apple sembra aver elegantemente declinato l’offerta. Ad Intel non devono aver fatto i salti di gioia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Alcuni mesi fa, i nostri lettori più affezionati lo ricorderanno, Intel aveva presentato la linea Arrandale ULV, processori realizzati appositamente per sistemi ultra-portatili, e fu subito ovvio che non fossero destinati ai nuovi MacBook Air. Ma come? Si, avete capito bene. Il problema non era tanto quello del processore, meno potente rispetto al Core 2 Duo, quando quello della GPU integrata.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7890444354702833061-4561798943190792569?l=gavrielt.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://gavrielt.blogspot.com/feeds/4561798943190792569/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7890444354702833061&amp;postID=4561798943190792569' title='0 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7890444354702833061/posts/default/4561798943190792569'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7890444354702833061/posts/default/4561798943190792569'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://gavrielt.blogspot.com/2010/10/tecnologia-nuovo-mac-book-air-nuovo.html' title='TECNOLOGIA: Nuovo Mac Book Air nuovo design vecchio processore?'/><author><name>Gabriele Tolisano</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00418927807679947477</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ufVW4_TSiWs/S4ZKiQVSXYI/AAAAAAAAAK0/Tj08zzPaXPU/S220/winter+5.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7890444354702833061.post-845674984237366224</id><published>2010-10-25T12:40:00.001+02:00</published><updated>2010-10-25T12:41:14.787+02:00</updated><title type='text'>VIAGGI: Capraia, a pesca nell'isola dei pirati Week end di ottobre per la sagra del pesce</title><content type='html'>A Capraia un fine ottobre di scoperta in una delle perle dell’Arcipelago toscano. L’ultimo fine settimana di ottobre, da sabato 30 a domenica 31, la nona edizione della Sagra del Totano (www.sagradeltotano.it) segna la fine della stagione turistica dell’ Isola di Capraia (www.isoladicapraia.it) . Ma puo’ segnare pure l’inizio della scoperta di una delle perle dell’Arcipelago toscano, un’isola aspra ad un passo dalla Corsica, teatro di antiche scorribande di pirati saraceni, ex sede di un carcere ed ora al centro del Parco dell’arcipelago (www.arcipelagotoscano.com).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La Sagra si articola in una una gara di pesca e nella degustazione dei piatti a base di totano, cioe’ i calamari che qui vengono chiamati amichevolmente totani. Per la prima volta quest’anno la Sagra si svolgerà sul piazzale del nuovo pontile di attracco del traghetto inaugurato nel giugno scorso. La Sagra inizia Sabato 30 ottobre con la gara di pesca del totano che vedrà impegnate tre categorie di pescatori: Mare (barche a motore), Mare (barche a vela) e Terra. Al termine della gara una vera e propria cerimonia con la pesatura dei totani. Il giorno successivo, domenica 31, dopo la premiazione della gara di pesca inizierà la parte gastronomica della sagra. Sul piazzale del porto di Capraia saranno allestiti gli stand dei ristoranti isolani con le specialità tutte a base di totani: piatti introvabili durante il resto dell'anno, poiche’ e’ questo il periodo della pesca di questi abitanti dei fondali mediterranei, ed a prezzi popolari. Durante la due giorni capraiese del totano anche iniziative culturali come la presentazione del libro sul Castello di San Giorgio a Capraia “Il mondo perduto” di Fausto Brizzi e la proiezione dei documentari di Vittorio De Seta sulle isole italiane degli anni Cinquanta, restaurati dalla Cineteca di Bologna, escursioni naturalistiche tra il lentisco, il mirto e il cisto marino (tantissime le specie di uccelli marini da osservare cosi’ come, con un po’ di fortuna, i mufloni che pascolano su pendii impossibili) e giri dell’isola in barca: unica possibilita’, quest’ultima, per poter vedere interamente le coste dell’isola, poiche’ la costa occidentale, quella che guarda verso la Corsica, e’ interdetta alla navigazione tranne che alle imbarcazioni autorizzate. Per raggiungere Capraia si puo’ utilizzare il traghetto da Livorno (www.toremar.it) e per cercare ospitalita’ nelle rare strutture ricettive o nelle tante case private in affitto c’e’ l’Agenzia del Parco (http://news.isoladicapraia.it ).&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7890444354702833061-845674984237366224?l=gavrielt.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://gavrielt.blogspot.com/feeds/845674984237366224/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7890444354702833061&amp;postID=845674984237366224' title='0 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7890444354702833061/posts/default/845674984237366224'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7890444354702833061/posts/default/845674984237366224'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://gavrielt.blogspot.com/2010/10/viaggi-capraia-pesca-nellisola-dei.html' title='VIAGGI: Capraia, a pesca nell&apos;isola dei pirati Week end di ottobre per la sagra del pesce'/><author><name>Gabriele Tolisano</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00418927807679947477</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ufVW4_TSiWs/S4ZKiQVSXYI/AAAAAAAAAK0/Tj08zzPaXPU/S220/winter+5.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7890444354702833061.post-2021191272890710095</id><published>2010-10-25T12:37:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2010-10-25T12:38:12.030+02:00</updated><title type='text'>VIAGGI: Viaggio tra i templi Wudang Culla del taoismo nella Cina Centro meridionale</title><content type='html'>(di Maria Grazia Marilotti)&lt;br /&gt; Tigre che scala la montagna, Mani sopra le nuvole. Dici Kungfu e pensi alla Cina. Eppure, a sentire gli appassionati di arti marziali, un valido maestro nel paese della porcellana bisogna cercarlo col lumicino. Ma se nell'attraversare le verdissime montagne del Wudang, culla del taoismo, ti accompagnano nove uccelli, sei sulla buona strada.&lt;br /&gt;E' una delle leggende narrate in questo angolo dell'antica Cina centro-meridionale costellato di monasteri avvolti nella nebbia e sospesi nelle pareti rocciose a strapiombo. E' un viaggio fantastico alla ricerca di te stesso tra laghi, cascate, i 72 picchi dei monti, tegole smaltate di verde e rosso e decorate con draghi e fenici. Sembra un mondo fatato dove regna il principio del Feng Shui, l'arte di incanalare le energie, antesignana della bioarchitettura. In questi luoghi dal '94 patrimonio Unesco, aleggia il fantasma dei leggendari monaci, custodi dei segreti millenari delle discipline marziali. La' tra quegli anfratti rocciosi si dice che si aggirino i maestri alla ricerca dell'immortalita'. Scavano le grotte e restano anni, come ibernati. C'e' voluto il grande schermo per aprire uno scorcio su questo mondo ricco di cultura e fascino che resiste alla globalizzazione. In parte e' grazie a La Tigre e il Dragone, pluri premio Oscar, che quest'antica Regione della Cina, nella provincia dello Hubei, non e' solo la meta da sogno per studiosi ed esperti di arti marziali. Sempre piu' turisti percorrono sentieri ripidi, visitano i templi, veri e propri centri accademici per allievi di tutta la Cina. Si imbattono anche in medici che prescrivono antiche ricette a base di stelle marine, funghi, erbe per raggiungere l'elisir di lunga vita o leggono l'I Ching, il libro dei mutamenti legato alla filosofia degli opposti, lo yin e lo yang.&lt;br /&gt;Un habitue' di questi pellegrinaggi e' il sardo Giancarlo Manca, maestro di Kungfu. Ogni due anni con i suoi allievi parte per i mondiali di Kungfu (www.2010wudang.com), ma almeno due volte all'anno segue da solo i sentieri battuti dagli antichi saggi che attraversavano le montagne sacre e si fermavano dove percepivano carica energetica per fondare i loro santuari. ''In questi luoghi - racconta Manca - e' come sentire sulla propria pelle milioni di api che ti pungono, tant'e' l'energia che si percepisce. Anche l'attore Giorgio Pasotti, grande appassionato e cultore di arti marziali cinesi, mi ha espresso tante volte il desiderio di raggiungere il Wudang e conoscere questi straordinari monaci''.&lt;br /&gt;Dall'Italia il viaggio dura due giorni. Roma-Pechino-Wuhan in aereo, da qui con un treno in otto ore si raggiunge Wudang Shan attraverso villaggi di case di fango, sterrati e ponticelli che tagliano i fiumi. Ci vuole un'altra ora per giungere alle montagne del Wudang, con i suoi 72 templi collegati tra loro da viadotti e cinti come una citta' proibita dalle mura costruite sui precipizi. Risalgono all'epoca delle dinastie Tang, 206 A.C. e Song 960 D.C., con l'apice durante i Ming, 1368 -1644. Alcuni hanno resistito alle disposizioni maoiste e sono usciti indenni dalla rivoluzione culturale del 1966-1976. Altri sono stati distrutti e ricostruiti. Tra le mete dei pellegrinaggi c'e' il Picco Dorato, un santuario bronzeo in cima al piu' alto monte al quale tutti i picchi circostanti sembrano inchinarsi. Dentro la cupola c'e' la statua dell'alchimista-medico Zhang Sanfeng, il creatore del Taichi, la disciplina che attraverso movimenti lenti e aggraziati abbinata alla respirazione controllata e' in grado di smuovere l'energia interna per dare benessere psico fisico. Da qui 6500 scalini conducono al Tempio delle Nuvole Viola dell'Abate You Xuande, la massima autorita' taoista in Cina. ''Qui ci alleniamo e soggiorniamo. Ci sentiamo come a casa - sottolinea il maestro Manca - La sera arriva il maestro You, porta con se' una grande carica energetica. Ceniamo con riso e ortaggi prodotti dai monaci e ascoltiamo i suoi racconti. E' buio pesto e c'e' un silenzio che nutre lo spirito. Svolazzano mille lucciole. Lui ci dice di lasciarle passare. Sono le anime dei nostri maestri. Perche' da queste parti si dice che i grandi saggi taoisti Lao Tzu e Zhang Sanfeng non siano mai morti.

Grövelsjöns Fjällstation propone per marzo prossimo una settimana presso il Grövelsjön Mountain Lodge, un rifugio alpino situato alle porte del bosco, dove si interrompe la strada e comincia la natura selvaggia.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Da lì si raggiungono le vette per ammirare il panorama mozzafiato dei picchi verso ovest, lungo il confine con la Norvegia. Si può scegliere di sciare in gruppo in montagna o da soli lungo i sentieri vicino al lodge. Disponibili anche mini corsi con insegnanti di sci. Al rifugio ci si potrà invece rilassare con sauna e massaggi, ma anche con lezioni di yoga pomeridiane e serali. Per alcune delle serate sono previste degustazioni di vini e piccoli concerti.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Chi è in coppia invece preferirà il cosiddetto weekend invernale delle meraviglie (partenze disponibili da dicembre fino a marzo senza date fisse), proposto da Lassekrogs Gästgiveri fra cene gourmet, idromassaggi rilassanti e un mini tour trainati dai cani su slitta in una natura misteriosa e silenziosa. A Lassekrogs, circa 40 chilometri da Ljusdal nella regione centro orientale della Svezia di Hälsingland, si potrà trascorrere un weekend incantato in un candido paesaggio invernale da fiaba. Per i visitatori i deliziosi menu di Peter Hommen, fra i maggiori chef svedesi.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ad hoc per le famiglie i pacchetti di una settimana (da febbraio ad aprile) proposti da Saltoluokta Fjällstation in Lapponia, nell'estremità settentrionale della Svezia. I più piccoli sono invitati a scoprire i segreti di Plupp, personaggio delle fiabe svedesi, mentre i più grandi potranno divertirsi con la pesca nel lago ghiacciato oppure potranno dedicarsi al puro relax mentre i bimbi sono impegnati in attività di gruppo con i coetanei, come le lezioni di sci o la corsa su slitte trainate dai cani. L'alloggio è il Saltoluokta Mountain Lodge, vicino al Parco Nazionale Stora Sjöfallet, che fa parte del Patrimonio dell'Umanità Unesco.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7890444354702833061-1367104267904274773?l=gavrielt.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://gavrielt.blogspot.com/feeds/1367104267904274773/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7890444354702833061&amp;postID=1367104267904274773' title='0 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7890444354702833061/posts/default/1367104267904274773'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7890444354702833061/posts/default/1367104267904274773'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://gavrielt.blogspot.com/2010/10/eco-turismo-in-svezia-candidi-paesaggi.html' title='Eco-turismo in Svezia Candidi paesaggi invernali e tour sulle slitte'/><author><name>Gabriele Tolisano</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00418927807679947477</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ufVW4_TSiWs/S4ZKiQVSXYI/AAAAAAAAAK0/Tj08zzPaXPU/S220/winter+5.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7890444354702833061.post-7705927242553762922</id><published>2010-10-25T12:34:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2010-10-25T12:35:11.294+02:00</updated><title type='text'>CINEMA: Coppia Placido-De Niro in 'Manuale d'amore 3'</title><content type='html'>ROMA - Con Robert De Niro in 'Manuale d'amore 3' di Giovanni Veronesi ci sarà anche Michele Placido.

Dopo 69 giorni dall'incidente, si e' conclusa durante l'operazione di salvataggio condotta nel deserto dell'Atacama. La capsula 'Fenix' ha fatto la spola per quasi un giorno con il punto a oltre 600 metri di profondità in cui i minatori erano rimasti intrappolati a causa di uno smottamento. Attraverso il cunicolo,  sono stati riportati in superficie anche tutti i sei soccorritori calatisi nelle viscere della terra per organizzare la risalita dei minatori. L'ultimo minatore a uscire è stato il capo-turno e leader del gruppo fin dal giorno del crollo, Luis Urzua, di 54 anni: su di lui era gravato il compito di mantenere viva la speranza nei compagni durante i 17 giorni in cui non c'erano contatti con i soccorritori e che ha razionato gli alimenti dei quali disponevano (qualche lattina di tonno, latte e frutta in scatola). Appena uscito dalla capsula, il minatore è stato avvolto in una bandiera cilena e in tante città e paesi le campane delle chiese hanno suonato a distesa mentre la gente si è riversata per le strade, animandole con caroselli in auto. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;''Le passo il turno e spero che questo non accada piu''', ha detto Urzua rivolto, con casco e occhiali scuri per proteggerlo dalla luce, al presidente cileno Sebastian Pinera che lo ha accolto tra l'esultanza generale. "Ho fatto un turno di 70 giorni, un po' troppo lungo", ha scherzato Urzua fra l'altro dicendosi ''orgoglioso di essere cileno". Tutti attorno a lui hanno applaudito intonando l'inno nazionale. "Mi congratulo con lei, è stato un ottimo capitano", gli ha detto il presidente Pinera che, al termine delle operazioni di soccorso, ha sigillato il pozzo ponendo metaforicamente fine alla vicenda seguita da settimane anche grazie a immagini e voci raccolte dal sottosuolo attraverso una sorta di cordone ombelicale che ha tenuto in vita i minatori con cibo e acqua. Prima di riemergere dalla piccola miniera di rame e oro nei pressi di Copiaco, circa 800 km a nord della capitale Santiago, i soccorritori hanno mostrato alla webcam sotterranea il cartello, in spagnolo, con l'annuncio ''missione compiuta'' registrato dai circa 1.500 giornalisti arrivati da tutto il mondo al ''campo Esperanza''. Protagonista delle immagini tv che hanno documentato l'operazione di salvataggio e' stata la capsula di metallo, poco piu' larga delle spalle di un uomo e dipinta coi colori della bandiera cilena. Questa sorta di Apollo 11 delle viscere della terra e' stata ridipinta piu' volte ma ha mostrato sempre piu' rigature causate delle rocce dello stretto pozzo scavato per calarla nel sottosuolo. Comunque ha tenuto, fino a riportare in superficie anche l'ultimo dei soccorritori scesi nella cavita' per aiutare i minatori ed entrare nella Fenix. L'uomo che idealmente ''ha spento la luce'' e' Manuel Gonzalez, un tecnico con 20 anni di esperienza in questo tipo di soccorsi. Nella sala mensa della base operativa da dove sono state coordinate le operazioni di soccorso - costate un equivalente tra i 7 e i 14 milioni euro secondo una stima di Pinera - alcuni familiari dei minatori hanno stappato bottiglie per suggellare con brindisi la fine dell'incubo.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7890444354702833061-4297457917579788717?l=gavrielt.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://gavrielt.blogspot.com/feeds/4297457917579788717/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7890444354702833061&amp;postID=4297457917579788717' title='0 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7890444354702833061/posts/default/4297457917579788717'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7890444354702833061/posts/default/4297457917579788717'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://gavrielt.blogspot.com/2010/10/news-miracolo-fenix-tutti-salvi.html' title='NEWS: Miracolo Fenix, tutti salvi'/><author><name>Gabriele Tolisano</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00418927807679947477</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ufVW4_TSiWs/S4ZKiQVSXYI/AAAAAAAAAK0/Tj08zzPaXPU/S220/winter+5.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7890444354702833061.post-5772306932318429962</id><published>2010-10-25T12:20:00.001+02:00</published><updated>2010-10-25T12:20:52.861+02:00</updated><title type='text'>News: Bersani: lodo Alfano via col referendum</title><content type='html'>ROMA - Il Lodo Alfano sara' ''spazzato via dal referendum. Quindi di che stiamo parlando?''. Lo ha detto il segretario del Pd, Pier Luigi Bersani, in una intervista a Sky Tg 24.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Alla domanda se considerasse irrituale la lettera di Napolitano al presidente della commissione Affari costituzionali del Senato, il segretario del Pd ha risposto: "Non so se sia irritale. Il Presidente si preoccupa dei profili essenziali, quello del Capo dello Stato e quello del Presidente del Consiglio che sono deformati dal Lodo Alfano. Le pare possibile - ha quindi domandato - che da mesi siamo attorno a una legge aberrante che spazzeremo via con un referendum mentre il paese ha altri problemi, come il lavoro e il fisco? Il Paese non ha la barra, è abbandonato". "Il Paese ha tanti problemi - ha insistito - e invece ci dobbiamo occupare tutti dei problemi di un uomo solo". Alla domanda su quale sià l'atteggiamento del Pd dopo il no di Fini alla reiterabilità dello scudo, Bersani ha replicato: "Non non c'entriamo nulla, facciano tutto loro da soli. Altro che 12 mesi - ha proseguito - non durerà neanche 12 giorni. I due terzi dei voti in Parlamento non ci saranno mai e si andrà al referendum e gli italiani, sono sicuro, non lo vorranno confermare".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Berlusconi dovrebbe ritirare non solo il Lodo ALfano, ma anche le altre leggi ad personam, e dire "ai miei problemi ghe pensi mi". Lo ha detto il segretario del Pd Pier Luigi Bersani, in una intervista a Sky Tg 24. Maria Latella ha chiesto a Bersani che ne pensasse della richiesta, avanzata oggi anche dal Corriere della Sera al premier, di ritirare il Lodo Alfano, che sarebbe "un gesto storico": "Non so se sarebbe un gesto storico - ha detto Bersani - però se Berlusconi dicesse 'ritiro il Lodo, il legittimo impedimento e il processo breve e dicesse 'ai problemi miei ghe pensi mì, sarebbe un gesto di rasserenamento e di pacificazione, e noi ne prenderemmo atto". "Prenderemmo atto di una novità significativa - ha aggiunto - non ci credo ma ne prenderemmo atto. Dopo di che i problemi sono altri. Sono due anni che non facciamo niente per i problemi degli italiani, a partire dal lavoro".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;CASINI, VA RIMOSSO MACIGNO REITERABILITA' - Sulla bozza di legge del Lodo Alfano "ci sono da un lato le preoccupazioni giuste del presidente Napolitano, dall'altro il nodo della reiterabilità: sono due macigni che vanno rimossi". Lo dice il leader dell'Udc Pier Ferdinando Casini, a margine di una visita al pronto soccorso pediatrico del Policlinico Umberto I. "Sulla reiterabilità siamo contrarissimi. E' evidente, l'abbiamo detto fin dall'inizio - scandisce casini - è giusto mettere al riparo le alte cariche da una sorta di permanente guerriglia, ma non è accettabile una reiterabilità del Lodo come è stata impostata in Commissione al Senato". Quanto alla posizione del suo partito, il Leader Udc dice che la linea dell'astensione sarà valutata: "Vedremo, tireremo le somme alla fine. Noi ci siamo dichiarati disponibili a contribuire a un clima di serenità e abbiamo lavorato per rendere più sereno il rapporto tra Magistratura e politica". "Il Lodo Alfano poteva essere accettabile, ma - avverte Casini - come al solito la maggioranza tira troppo la corda e questa rischia di spezzarsi. Mi auguro che adesso nella maggioranza qualcuno ragioni e che non prendano il volo solo i falchi, ma anche qualche colomba, perché esagerare significa non arrivare a niente".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In merito al Lodo Alfano ''il Parlamento tenga conto anche di questo aspetto (la non reiterabilita', ndr) non solo di quello giusto rimarcato ieri dal capo dello stato. Futuro e liberta''' si impegnera' ''per la presentazione di emendamenti che non rendano possibile reiterare il Lodo'' perche' si tratta ''di tutela della funzione e non di una nuova legge ad personam''. Lo afferma il presidente della Camera, Gianfranco Fini, intervenendo ai 'Dialoghi Asolani'.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"La polemica che vi è stata dopo (il sì di Fli alla retroattività, ndr) sembra francamente una polemica politica realizzata da chi vuole fare a gara su chi è più legalitario, ma non credo che ci si possa meravigliare della nostra coerenza". Lo afferma il presidente della Camera, Gianfranco Fini, nel corso dei 'Dialoghi Asolani'. La Terza carica dello stato ribadisce "ciò che già dissi a Mirabello": "Non si può dar corso ad alcun intervento che garantisca l'impunità o pensare a forme di immunità ma si deve valutare l'opportunità di tutelare la funzione e non una persona, in questo caso la funzione di presidente del Consiglio. La tutela della funzione deve o può prevedere la sospensione dei procedimenti con l'esclusione di eventuali co-imputati senza la sospensione delle indagine anche se si tratta di procedimenti avviati prima dell'assunzione della funzione come avvenne ad esempio per il presidente francese Chirac".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;LODO ALFANO, COLLE: MASSIMA IMPARZIALITÀ&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ROMA - Le "conseguenze politiche" annunciate dopo la lettera di Napolitano a Vizzini sul lodo Alfano sono "del tutto estranee" agli "intendimenti del Capo dello Stato", volti sempre "a favorire con la massima imparzialità la correttezza e la continuità della vita istituzionale": è quanto si legge in una nota del Quirinale nella quale si sottolinea l'estraneità del presidente da "soggettive interpretazioni e generalizzazioni" della lettera.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;''Con la lettera inviata al Presidente Vizzini - si legge nella nota del Quirinale -, il Capo dello Stato ha ritenuto di dover manifestare le sue 'profonde perplessita'' su un punto specifico - tale da incidere sullo status del Presidente della Repubblica - della proposta di legge costituzionale all'esame della prima Commissione del Senato''. ''Le soggettive interpretazioni e le generalizzazioni del contenuto della lettera - si legge ancora - apparse in diversi commenti di stampa, cosi' come le conseguenze politiche che taluni annunciano di volerne trarre, sono del tutto estranee agli intendimenti del Presidente della Repubblica, sempre volti a favorire, con la massima imparzialita', la correttezza e la continuita' della vita istituzionale''.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;VIZZINI, IO NON PRESENTERO' ALCUN EMENDAMENTO - "Io gli emendamenti che dovevo presentare li ho già presentati. E non ho intenzione di presentarne di nuovi. Martedì comunque ci riuniremo in ufficio di presidenza e valuteremo il da farsi". Il presidente della commissione Affari Costituzionali del Senato Carlo Vizzini risponde così a chi gli chiede cosa succederà ora con il Lodo Alfano vista anche l'intenzione dei vertici del gruppo del Pdl, Maurizio Gasparri e Gaetano Quagliariello, di presentare nuove proposte di modifica al ddl che raccolgano le istanze espresse dal Capo dello Stato in una lettera allo stesso Vizzini. "I termini per presentare gli emendamenti - prosegue - sono già chiusi da tempo. Potrei presentarne solo io in qualità di relatore, ma per ora non ho alcuna intenzione di farlo". "Come presidente della commissione che ha ricevuto una lettera dal Capo dello Stato - sottolinea poi Vizzini - non scendo nel dibattito politico. Questo lo possono fare i vari gruppi, ma non io. Io mi devo occupare, per il mio ruolo, di questioni tecniche. E così farò". "Martedì alle 14,30 ascolteremo le istanze dei vari gruppi nell'ufficio di presidenza e poi si deciderà il da farsi. Ma non pensate neanche per un minuto - prosegue - che durante i lavori di commissione si parlerà della lettera di Napolitano. La commissione ora è come se fosse un seggio elettorale. Si deve solo votare. Il dibattito politico si farà al di fuori di questa sede. E io come presidente della commissione parlerò solo nelle sedi istituzionali. Altrimenti non sarei serio e verrei meno al mio dovere. Mi devo occupare solo di fatti giuridici che sono ben diversi da quelli politici".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;VENDOLA, MENO MALE CHE C'E' NAPOLITANO.. - La nostra democrazia corre "rischi drammatici" ed è importante che tutti "gli attori della vita pubblica ragionino di questi rischi". Lo afferma Nichi Vendola, parlando a SkyTg24 a margine del congresso fondativo di Sel a Firenze. Vendola ribadisce l'ammirazione per il Capo dello Stato: "fortunatamente, il custode dei valori repubblicani e costituzionali, il Presidente della Repubblica Giorgio Napolitano, ha un rigore ammirevole. Con sobrietà di linguaggio ha la capacità di non perdere una battuta". "Meno male - sottolinea Vendola - che c'é Napolitano...".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;LA RUSSA, ASCOLTIAMO PRESIDENTE REPUBBLICA - Sul Lodo Alfano il PdL ascolterà il parere espresso dal Presidente della Repubblica Giorgio Napolitano: lo ha ribadito oggi il ministro della Difesa Ignazio La Russa, intervenuto a Rossano Veneto alla prima Festa della Libertà della provincia di Vicenza. "Se il Presidente della Repubblica esprime una sua sensibilità specifica diversa a quella che era stata pensata quando si era fatto il testo, che in previsione di un voto del Parlamento sembrava di omaggio, di allargamento, di maggiore tutela - ha detto La Russa - e se il Presidente della Repubblica pensa che per lui, per l'istituzione che lui rappresenta questo possa essere invece una limitazione, non c'é motivo di non ascoltare su questo specifico punto il consiglio del Presidente". "Quindi sarà motivo di seria riflessione - ha proseguito - anche se lui dice che non vuole entrare nel merito, una seria valutazione da parte dei gruppi parlamentari". "L'importante è la traiettoria - ha concluso - visto che si tratta specificamente dell'istituzione Presidente della Repubblica sarebbe impensabile non tenere in seria considerazione le sue parole".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Il presidente della Commissione parlamentare Antimafia Giuseppe Pisanu nega che ci sia stata una decisa presa di posizione da parte del premier sulla lettera che il Capo dello Stato ha inviato al presidente della Commissione Affari Istituzionali del Senato, Carlo Vizzini. "Non mi risulta - ha spiegato oggi a Asolo Pisanu, parlando con i giornalisti - che Berlusconi abbia fatto una dichiarazione ufficiale su un eventuale ritiro del Lodo Alfano". "I capigruppo - ha proseguito - hanno detto di prendere atto dell'indicazione lecita del Capo dello Stato annunciando di agire di conseguenza: è una risposta rispettosa". "Il ministro Alfano - ha riferito ancora Pisanu - ha già preso contatto con i vertici istituzionali: è un dialogo ancora alle prime battute, non si può pretendere già di tirare le somme".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;BOCCHINO, VA CAMBIATO E NIENTE REITERAZIONE  - Il richiamo del presidente della Repubblica sul Lodo Alfano "va ascoltato e va accolto". Lo ha detto oggi Italo Bocchino (Fli) a Genova, parlando a margine della inaugurazione della sede ligure di Futuro e Libertà. "La norma - ha aggiunto Bocchino - va assolutamente cambiata perché non possiamo sottoporre a giudizio del Parlamento, per altro a maggioranza semplice, questioni che riguardano il Capo dello Stato. Dobbiamo riscrivere meglio la norma e tornare a com'era prima, cioé al fatto che si possa chiedere una volta soltanto la sospensione". Per Bocchino è evidente che la norma "così come è stata scritta rischia di diventare ad personam per lo stesso Berlusconi: se il suo obbiettivo è quello di andare al Quirinale noi ci troveremmo con una sospensione di tre anni dei processi perché adesso è a Palazzo Chigi" e con il rischio che potrebbe richiederla per altri sette anni "nel caso in cui andasse al Quirinale. E 10 anni di sospensione "non sono una tutela della funzione, ma rischiano di diventare un'immunità permanente".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;CASINI, NAPOLITANO INECCEPIBILE  - "Quello che ha detto il presidente Napolitano è ineccepibile". E' quanto Pier Ferdinando Casini si è limitato a dire a proposito della posizione del Capo dello Stato sul Lodo Alfano, interpellato dai giornalisti a Bologna. Il leader dell'Udc non ha voluto fare altri commenti sulla situazione politica, anche perché questa mattina era impegnato sul fronte del volontariato civico a favore della sua città. Poco dopo le 8.30 infatti, Casini, dopo avere indossato la pettorina arancione dei volontari che hanno partecipato alla giornata di ripulitura degli edifici imbrattati della città, ha passato il rullo intinto nella vernice color mattone sopra scritte e graffiti di un tratto di muro esterno dell'ospedale Sant'Orsola, davanti al numero 22 di via Massarenti. Insieme a lui anche il vicepresidente dei deputati Udc, il bolognese Gian Luca Galletti, e Pierluigi Visci, direttore del Resto del Carlino, testata che ha organizzato questa giornata anti-graffiti (all'insegna dello slogan 'diamo una mano alla nostra citta'') con il sostegno del Comune e dell'associazione Commercianti. "E' una bella iniziativa, perché un po' di senso civico serve a tenere pulita la città - ha commentato Casini - Prima ancora di chiederci cosa possono fare il Comune, la Provincia, la Regione, forse è meglio che cominciamo da noi a darci una mano. E penso che questa iniziativa abbia un grande valore simbolico, perché dei cittadini possono in prima persona pulire la loro città".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;FINI ATTACCA. DOPO DUBBI COLLE BUFERA SU LODO&lt;br /&gt;(di Giovanni Innamorati)&lt;br /&gt;Nel giorno in cui il presidente della Repubblica Napolitano esprime "perplessità" su alcuni aspetti del lodo Alfano che riguardano il Colle, il Pdl risponde proponendo l'automatismo dello scudo, senza passaggio parlamentare, mentre il premier Silvio Berlusconi ne disconosce la paternità, così come di altre leggi "ad personam". "Non sono stato io a reclamarle ma i miei alleati a farsene promotori", afferma il presidente del Consiglio. Posizione che scatena l'ironia delle opposizioni. Ed è sempre tensione con Gianfranco Fini che prima un affondo sulla legalità, poi mette in chiaro che Fli chiede di essere consultata prima del varo della riforma della Giustizia. Non solo. In tarda serata il futurista Fabio Granata va oltre chiedendo a questo punto di "archiviare" definitivamente il Lodo dopo le parole di Napolitano. "Si volti paginà,dice. Ma, all'indomani dei paletti sollevati da Futuro e libertà sulla riforma della Giustizia, il ministro Angelino Alfano cerca ancora la quadra per raggiungere l'intesa dentro la maggioranza. Una riforma che, spiega Berlusconi in un'intervista alla Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, non riguarda i suoi problemi giudiziari. Così come non è lui - dice- il 'deus ex machina' del disegno di legge che sospende i processi contro il Capo dello Stato ed il presidente del Consiglio. "Non ho mai reclamato alcuna forma di tutela ma una legge del genere esiste in molti paesi", spiega elencando i molti processi in cui è incappato e in cui, dice, "non sono mai stato condannato". Il vero motivo, torna alla carica il premier, è che "nella magistratura abbiamo una corrente che agisce in modo eversivo cercando di procedere contro chi è stato eletto legalmente dal popolo". Attacchi che non piacciono al presidente della Camera Gianfranco Fini che, a Foggia, sottolinea che nell'agenda del governo c'é sempre la giustizia e mai il tema della precarietà del lavoro. Poi arriva l'affondo, con un appello a destra e a sinistra per varare "una leggina che preveda che chi è condannato in via definitiva per reati contro la pubblica amministrazione debba rinunciare a vita a qualsiasi incarico". E Maurizio Saia, capogruppo Fli, in commissione Affari costituzionali al Senato annuncia che il suo gruppo chiederà che il Lodo Alfano proceda di pari passo al ddl anticorruzione che da mesi giace in commissione. L'affermazione del premier di non aver sollecitato lui lo Scudo per le alte cariche dello Stato, suscita l'ironia delle opposizioni: il segretario del Pd, Pier Luigi Bersani invita la maggioranza a ritirarlo, mentre Luigi Li Gotti (Idv) commenta: "sono affermazioni che si smentiscono da sole". In un clima già caldo arriva il messaggio del presidente Napolitano con la sua "profonda perplessità" per il Lodo Alfano, nella parte che riguarda il Capo dello Stato. Il presidente della Repubblica esprime dubbi sul fatto che la nuova versione dello scudo confligga con l'articolo 90 della Costituzione che, per quanto riguarda la messa in stato d'accusa del presidente per alto tradimento, chiede la maggioranza assoluta del parlamento, mentre la legge Alfano consentirebbe all'inquilino del Colle di ottenere la copertura del lodo con una maggioranza semplice delle Camere. Da qui la richiesta del presidente della Repubblica che le prerogative costituzionali previste dalla Carta vengano mantenute. Le parole del Presidente della Repubblica diventano un detonatore: il Pd, con Donatella Ferrante chiede alla maggioranza di ritirare "questo mostro giuridico". "Il presidente Napolitano - ha commentato Antonio Di Pietro - non vuole essere tirato dentro un'operazione cosi squallida, in cui si fa una legge per una sola persona". Anche il moderato Pier Ferdinando Casini esorta a "farsi carico delle preoccupazioni" del Colle. E anche qui interviene Fini chiedendo che siano ascoltate le "sagge" parole di Napolitano. A gettare benzina sul fuoco ci pensano il capogruppo del Pdl al Senato, Maurizio Gasparri, e il vice Gaetano Quagliariello: essi annunciano che per eliminare la norma che desta perlessità in Napolitano verrà modificano l'impianto della Legge, e lo "Scudo" diverrà automatico per le cariche dello Stato, senza passaggio parlamentare. Una risposta che va ben oltre le preoccupazioni del Quirinale, e che rischia di aumentare le frizioni anche istituzionali; una risposta che Bersani, riferendosi anche a tutto l'impianto del provvedimento, ha bollato come "avventurismo costituzionale", e che fanno esplodere Di Pietro: "dalla padella alla brace". Lo scontro interno alla maggioranza si allarga ed è a tutto campo e coinvolge la riforma costituzionale della Giustizia. Fini ha chiarito che Fli dovrà essere "coinvolta preventivamente", perché non voterà a scatola chiusa. Come non voterà il processo breve se prevede la sua applicazione retroattiva.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7890444354702833061-5772306932318429962?l=gavrielt.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://gavrielt.blogspot.com/feeds/5772306932318429962/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7890444354702833061&amp;postID=5772306932318429962' title='0 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7890444354702833061/posts/default/5772306932318429962'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7890444354702833061/posts/default/5772306932318429962'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://gavrielt.blogspot.com/2010/10/news-bersani-lodo-alfano-via-col.html' title='News: Bersani: lodo Alfano via col referendum'/><author><name>Gabriele Tolisano</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00418927807679947477</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ufVW4_TSiWs/S4ZKiQVSXYI/AAAAAAAAAK0/Tj08zzPaXPU/S220/winter+5.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7890444354702833061.post-5934246334905249265</id><published>2010-10-25T12:18:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2010-10-25T12:19:44.723+02:00</updated><title type='text'>News: Fiat: Fini, Marchionne? Un po' paradossale</title><content type='html'>ROVIGO - ''Marchionne mi sembra ieri abbia dimostrato di essere un po' piu' canadese che italiano, visto che e' italo-canadese''. Lo ha detto il presidente della Camera, Gianfranco Fini, parlando durante un incontro con gli studenti a Rovigo della questione Fiat.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;''Ha detto una cosa - ha aggiunto - che sarebbe normale se detta da uno che non e' un top manager italiano, ma e' un po' paradossale che lo dica l'amministratore delegato della Fiat perche' se e' ancora un grande colosso e' stato perche' c'e' stato il contribuente italiano a garantirlo''.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;EPIFANI, MARCHIONNE VUOLE ANDAR VIA - ''La verita' e' che Marchionne vorrebbe andarsene dall'Italia''. Lo dice, in un colloquio con Repubblica, il segretario generale della Cgil Guglielmo Epifani commentando le affermazioni dell'amministratore delegato della Fiat sulla produttivita' degli impianti italiani. ''Non a caso - aggiunge Epifani - sostiene di non avere piu' debiti con il nostro Paese. E' come se si sentisse obbligato a stare qui da noi, mentre il gruppo e' sempre piu' americano, forte in Brasile e negli Stati Uniti''. Per il leader della Cgil e' impensabile che possano provenire utili dagli stabilimenti italiani se ''sono praticamente fermi''. ''Si fa cassa integrazione dappertutto - spiega -. E si ricorre alla cassa integrazione perche' il mercato europeo non va bene in particolare per i marchi Fiat. Sulle fasce medio alte, quelle che fanno guadagnare, la Fiat e' praticamente assente, e su quelle medio piccole la concorrenza e' agguerritissima. Non ci sono i modelli: questa e' la realta'''. Che Marchionne ''fosse molto scettico sul futuro della Fiat in Italia'' il Epifani dice di averlo capito da tempo, in particolare ''dopo la decisione di chiudere lo stabilimento siciliano di Termini Imerese e poi dall'ipotesi per molto tempo in ballo di chiudere anche Pomigliano d'Arco. E ancora dal fatto che a Mirafiori non sono arrivati nuovi modelli mentre a Torino continua ad esserci un problema di sovraccapacita' produttiva''. ''Ma davvero si puo' pensare - si chiede - che tutto dipenda da un turno in piu' o in meno?''. Epifani propone allora ''una commissione neutrale'', anche istituita dal Parlamento, ''per verificare se sui turni ha ragione la Fiat oppure gli operai che dicono di non farcela''. La verita', conclude, e' che ''allo stato non c'e' un progetto industriale per l'Italia''.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;CALDEROLI: A TORINO RICORDINO PRESTITI E INCENTIVI - ''Marchionne ha la memoria corta sugli aiuti di Stato''. Lo dice in un'intervista a Repubblica il ministro per la Semplificazione Roberto Calderoli a proposito delle affermazioni dell'amministratore delegato della Fiat sulla produttivita' degli impianti italiani. ''Si potrebbe dire - aggiunge - che gli italiani, e in particolare la Padania, senza la Fiat in questi anni sarebbero stati meglio''. ''Un conto e' aver restituito un prestito - prosegue Calderoli -. La verita' e' che in questi anni gli italiani la Fiat se la sono comprata gia' due volte''. Per il ministro leghista Marchionne non puo' ''prendere in considerazione solo il suo periodo di gestione'' e per quanto riguarda gli incentivi, ''se crede di riceverne altri se lo scordi''. Se ci saranno soldi, promette, ''devono andare alle piccole imprese che non hanno mai avuto nulla e che non sputano come lui nel piatto dove hanno mangiato per anni''. Per Calderoli ''probabilmente Marchionne cerca un paracadute per i risultati che portera' a casa e darne ad altri la responsabilita'. Da canadese ha fatto presto ad italianizzarsi. La Fiat ha gia' partorito l'avannotto Montezemolo, non possono produrne un altro''.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;BOMBASSEI: BENE MARCHIONNE; SERVE SFORZO DI SISTEMA - Da Marchionne parole ''del tutto condivisibili'', anzi l'ad di Fiat avrebbe potuto dire anche che ''la competitivita' di un Paese non e' solo una questione di costo del lavoro ma anche di costi dell'energia, di fisco, di infrastrutture; insomma, dello sforzo comune di un intero sistema. Purtroppo tutte queste voci vedono l'Italia soccombere al cospetto di altri Paesi''. L'analisi delle affermazioni del numero uno del Lingotto e' di Alberto Bombassei, vicepresidente di Confindustria, intervistato dal Corriere della Sera. ''Non e' solo con Pechino che siamo perdenti - prosegue l'industriale -; in Polonia, ad esempio, le ore lavorate ogni anno sono mediamente 200 in piu' rispetto all'Italia. Sono confronti a cui non possiamo piu' sottrarci altrimenti corriamo il rischio di una vera e propria desertificazione industriale. Sarebbe fatale, per l'Italia, ripetere l'errore commesso dagli Stati Uniti che hanno pensato di poter sostituire la manifattura con la finanza''. ''Nessuna deroga contrattuale - aggiunge Bombassei - e' possibile senza l'assenso dei sindacati. Ma occorre dialogare e trovare tutti assieme le condizioni perche' non solo gli investitori stranieri ricomincino a scommettere sull'Italia ma anche perche' le aziende non fuggano all'estero''. A questo proposito e' necessario ''il coinvolgimento della politica'', per il vice di Confindustria ''troppo assente'' e ''presa da altre questioni''.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;BONANNI: SFIDO MARCHIONNE SU PROFITTI AI LAVORATORI - ''Lancio la seguente sfida all'amministratore delegato del Lingotto: arriviamo al pieno utilizzo degli impianti in cambio non solo del salario di produttivita', ma anche della ripartizione degli utili e si arrivi ad un livello alto di partecipazione delle decisioni aziendali''. Lo dice in un'intervista al Corriere della Sera il segretario della Cisl Raffaele Bonanni a proposito delle affermazioni di Sergio Marchionne sulla produttivita' degli stabilimenti italiani di Fiat. ''Lo sapevamo - aggiunge - che la produttivita' e' un problema reale'' a causa ''dell'immobilismo del governo e dell'ideologismo dell'opposizione''. Con l'ad del Lingotto Bonanni spiega che la Cisl aveva ''gia' affrontato il problema''. Il punto, afferma, e' ''vedere insieme come si puo' arrivare ad un utilizzo intensivo degli impianti adeguandoci a cio' che avviene in altri Paesi europei''. Occorre parlarne ma ad un patto, sottolinea, ''che la discussione avvenga alla luce del sole, di fronte a tutti gli attori 'sensibili'. E' assurdo - dice Bonanni - che, in un momento di crisi come quello attuale, di fronte alla perdita ogni giorno di posti di lavoro, si continui a discutere di altro creando un clima che definirei surreale. La classe dirigente appare lontana, quasi insensibile''.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;VENDOLA: FACCIA AUTOCRITICA AD AZIENDA CHE NON INNOVA - ''Marchionne dovrebbe fare l'autocritica della Fiat, che non ha prodotto niente di innovativo. Si puo' immaginare che la cosa piu' innovativa sia la Punto? Ho tutta la dispobinilita' a confrontarmi con il 'guru del turbo-capitalismo' dei tempi nostri, ma ci vuole un po' di rispetto, alcune frasi sono inascoltabili, sono quasi inquinamento acustico''. Lo ha detto Nichi Vendola durante ''Agora''', condotto da Andrea Vianello, su Rai Tre, in riferimento a quanto dichiarato dall'Ad della Fiat Sergio Marchionne a ''Che tempo che fa''. ''Il nostro Paese ha consentito alla Fiat di essere azienda di stato. E oggi non e' possibile - ha aggiunto Vendola - poter immaginare di trattare l'Italia come una palla al piede. Onestamente mi pare un po' poco patriottico''.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7890444354702833061-5934246334905249265?l=gavrielt.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://gavrielt.blogspot.com/feeds/5934246334905249265/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7890444354702833061&amp;postID=5934246334905249265' title='0 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7890444354702833061/posts/default/5934246334905249265'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7890444354702833061/posts/default/5934246334905249265'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://gavrielt.blogspot.com/2010/10/news-fiat-fini-marchionne-un-po.html' title='News: Fiat: Fini, Marchionne?

Il fantasista romeno avrebbe colpito con un pugno in faccia l'uomo, causandogli la frattura del setto nasale. Il cameriere, uno jugoslavo di 28 anni, e' ancora ricoverato all'ospedale di Santa Maria Nuova con una prognosi al momento di 25 giorni. Sarebbe stato inoltre colpito, mentre era a terra, da calci sferrati dal giocatore viola. Sulla vicenda indagano i carabinieri. Al momento dell'intervento, pero', Mutu non era piu' presente sul posto.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 1.428em; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; font-size: 1em; line-height: 1.428em; "&gt;Secondo quanto ricostruito con alcuni testimoni, intorno alle cinque di questa mattina Mutu ha ordinato una bottiglia assieme ad altri due amici. Poi si sono alzati e se ne sono andati. A quel punto il cameriere li avrebbe fermati, chiedendo di pagare la consumazione, ma il calciatore avrebbe spiegato di aver un 'conto aperto' con il titolare del locale. Quest'ultimo e' intervenuto per chiarire la situazione. Ma il calciatore viola avrebbe pero' offeso il cameriere che gli avrebbe risposto per le rime; a quel punto il romeno gli avrebbe sferrato un pugno al volto e, una volta a terra, lo avrebbe colpito con dei calci sul petto. Al momento Mutu non risulta denunciato. L'episodio avviene a pochi giorni dal rientro del calciatore dalla squalifica per doping, previsto per la fine di ottobre, in un momento molto delicato per la stagione della squadra di Mihajlovic che conta proprio sulle giocate del fuoriclasse romeno. Mutu era gia' stato coinvolto in altri episodi analoghi: in una festa in un hotel di lusso della citta'' colpi' con un pugno un altro avventore e, la scorsa primavera, rimase coinvolto in un' aggressione assieme alla moglie in cui e' stato arrestato un ex calciante.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7890444354702833061-2129498856355056365?l=gavrielt.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://gavrielt.blogspot.com/feeds/2129498856355056365/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7890444354702833061&amp;postID=2129498856355056365' title='0 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7890444354702833061/posts/default/2129498856355056365'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7890444354702833061/posts/default/2129498856355056365'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://gavrielt.blogspot.com/2010/10/mutu-aggredisce-cameriere-lepisodio-in.html' title='Mutu aggredisce cameriere L&apos;episodio in un locale notturno a Firenze'/><author><name>Gabriele Tolisano</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05684750316628639163</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='21' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_NB1q6559XhY/SISIyD15QzI/AAAAAAAAAEQ/7YLSKLF4IRs/S220/M+104.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_NB1q6559XhY/TMLNgg_nJgI/AAAAAAAAAaE/bBHHPpPK4D8/s72-c/4c34fe387494e79100ada927252bc888.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7890444354702833061.post-479708656236192014</id><published>2010-10-23T13:47:00.002+02:00</published><updated>2010-10-23T13:50:07.992+02:00</updated><title type='text'>NEWS: IL NAVIGATORE DI GOOGLE (Guarda il video) Google Maps è ora un navigatore GPS gratuito anche in Europa</title><content type='html'>&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana;

Il film avra' una prima mondiale, il 30 novembre a Londra, alla presenza della Regina Elisabetta, del suo consorte e del cast del film al completo. Per la prima volta in 3D, la magia del mondo descritto da C.S. Lewis, torna nel nuovo episodio della saga cinematografica 'Le Cronache di Narnia' in cui i giovani fratelli Edmond e Lucy Pevensie, con Re Caspian (Ben Barnes di Dorian Gray), si ritrovano risucchiati da un dipinto e approdano sul Veliero dell'Alba. Pronti a una nuova e difficile missione per salvare Narnia, i ragazzi dovranno combattere minotauri, nani e altre creature magiche fino a incontrare il loro amico di sempre, il leone Aslan. L'anteprima londinese si terra' nell'ambito della Royal Film Performance World Premiere, un evento del CTBF (Cinema &amp;amp; Television Benevolence Fund), la fondazione che, nata nel 1934, raccoglie fondi per ''le star del dietro le quinte'', i lavoratori dello spettacolo che si trovano in difficolta' economiche. Si tratta dell'unico evento cinematografico dell'anno a cui partecipa la Regina d'Inghilterra, sostenitrice del CTBF dal 1952. I biglietti, in vendita dal 23 ottobre, sono disponibili sul sito http://ctbfstore.co.uk/ e i prezzi variano dalle 45 alle 100 sterline. Il ricavato sara' devoluto in beneficenza.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7890444354702833061-3985266845007375711?l=gavrielt.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://gavrielt.blogspot.com/feeds/3985266845007375711/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7890444354702833061&amp;postID=3985266845007375711' title='0 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7890444354702833061/posts/default/3985266845007375711'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7890444354702833061/posts/default/3985266845007375711'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://gavrielt.blogspot.com/2010/10/per-cronache-narnia-3-anteprima-londra.html' title='Per cronache Narnia 3, anteprima a Londra con Regina Il 30 novembre, poi il 17 dicembre l&apos;uscita in sala'/><author><name>Gabriele Tolisano</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05684750316628639163</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='21' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_NB1q6559XhY/SISIyD15QzI/AAAAAAAAAEQ/7YLSKLF4IRs/S220/M+104.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7890444354702833061.post-5212786632311875965</id><published>2010-10-23T13:26:00.002+02:00</published><updated>2010-10-23T13:27:43.671+02:00</updated><title type='text'>NEWS: Sarah, i genitori per prima volta al pozzo.</title><content type='html'>&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; "&gt;&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 1.428em; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; font-size: 1em; line-height: 1.428em; "&gt;TARANTO - Quando l'hanno convocata nella caserma di Manduria la sera del 15 ottobre, Sabrina Misseri ha capito prima di tutti che i suoi tentativi di depistare le indagini e i suoi "atteggiamenti fortemente sospetti" - come li definisce nell'ordinanza il gip - che per 50 giorni hanno tenuto lontano da lei le attenzioni degli inquirenti, non erano riusciti ad evitarle di finire in carcere con l'accusa di aver aiutato il padre Michele ad uccidere la cugina Sarah: quando i carabinieri, al termine dell'interrogatorio le hanno detto che l'avrebbero portata in cella, si è limitata a rispondere con un laconico "tanto lo sapevo". Una mezza ammissione di colpa, secondo chi indaga, che confermerebbe come Sabrina abbia avuto un ruolo decisivo nell'omicidio della quindicenne di Avetrana. Ma anche un crollo psicologico che in qualche modo le avrebbe consentito di alleggerirsi la coscienza a tal punto da farla cadere in un sonno pesante, appena salita nell'auto che da Manduria l'ha condotta nel carcere di Taranto. Della colpevolezza di Sabrina, capace di muoversi con estrema malizia davanti a decine di telecamere, è convinto il gip Martino Rosati, che nell'ordinanza con cui ha confermato il carcere parla dei suoi comportamenti poco credibili e, soprattutto dei tentativi di depistare le indagini. Come quando sul suo telefono appare un sms che sembrerebbe inviato da Sarah e che la Misseri potrebbe aver fatto vedere alla madre della quindicenne, Concetta. "Ci sono tutta una serie di comportamenti della Misseri che appaiono fortemente sospetti, in senso favorevole all'accusa" scrive il giudice Martino Rosati nell'ordinanza. Ad esempio, prosegue, "proprio sul suo telefono, già il 1 settembre, perviene da un'utenza rimasta anonima un sms dal testo - 'mamma sto bene non ti preoccupare' - suscettibile di indirizzare le indagini verso la fuorviante ipotesi dell'allontanamento volontario". Ma non è questo il solo tentativo di sviare le indagini: nell'interrogatorio dell'8 settembre, quando fu sentita come teste, afferma il Gip, Sabrina "adombra sospetti sul padre di Sarah, adducendo che alcune persone glielo avevano descritto come uno che 'allungava le mani' alle donne, nonché indicandolo come persona con amicizie poco raccomandabili". E cerca di accusare anche la badante rumena del nonno della quindicenne. "Comportamenti tali, per lo meno - conclude il giudice - da indirizzare le indagini verso false piste". Ed inoltre Sabrina non è riuscita a spiegare la telefonata fatta al padre alle 14.55 del 26 agosto, venti minuti dopo il delitto (che per l'accusa sarebbe stato commesso tra le 14.28 e le 14.35) e dunque quando Michele "era impegnato nelle attività di occultamento del cadavere". Una telefonata, si legge nell'ordinanza, "che Mariangela Spagnoletti afferma di non ricordare e che, se ciò fosse vero, potrebbe pure legittimare" la possibilità che sia stata fatta da Sabrina "nei brevi momenti in cui si è staccata dall'amica, che l'attendeva in macchina, per andare a parlare in casa della zia e quindi al riparo di orecchi indiscreti". Che Sabrina non solo non sia colpevole, ma che non sia neanche quella "mente diabolica" descritta dai giornali, ne sono convinti invece i legali Vito Russo e Emilia Velletri, che non hanno ancora deciso quale strategia difensiva adottare e dunque se ricorrere per Cassazione oppure se impugnare l'ordinanza davanti al tribunale del Riesame. "Prima studieremo gli atti e poi decideremo", dicono, sottolineando però che dal loro punto di vista l'ordinanza "appare lacunosa in alcuni punti" e delinea per la ragazza un ruolo meno pesante di quanto descritto dai giornali e dalle tv. "Non è certo contenta di quanto ha scritto il giudice - affermano - si era illusa di poter uscire dal carcere anche se noi ce l'aspettavamo e l'avevamo preparata". Certo non si è persa d'animo: dopo aver appreso di dover rimanere in carcere ha chiesto agli avvocati che gli portassero un libro. Ma non uno qualunque, uno "per ridere, qualcosa che mi faccia sorridere". Alla fine la scelta dei legali è finita su "Cado dalle Nubi" del comico pugliese Checco Zalone. Chissà se la farà ridere abbastanza.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 1.428em; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; font-size: 1em; line-height: 1.428em; "&gt;&lt;b&gt;DIFENSORI SI ACCUSANO, ORDINE VALUTA MISURE&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 1.428em; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; font-size: 1em; line-height: 1.428em; "&gt;&lt;b&gt;dell'inviato Paolo Melchiorre&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 1.428em; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; font-size: 1em; line-height: 1.428em; "&gt;Nel caos di telecamere, fotografi e microfoni per la vicenda di Sarah Scazzi, qualcosa nel meccanismo deontologico che deve regolare l'attività forense potrebbe essersi inceppato. E' quanto vuole accertare l'Ordine degli avvocati di Taranto, il cui consiglio ha deciso di convocare per la prossima settimana i tre legali che difendono, con ruoli distinti, i due indagati per l'omicidio della quindicenne di Avetrana, Michele Misseri e sua figlia Sabrina. Gli avvocati sono Vito Russo ed Emilia Velletri, che assistono Sabrina Misseri, e Daniele Galoppa, difensore del contadino reo confesso del delitto. L'Ordine li sentirà singolarmente per avere chiarimenti sul comportamento deontologico dei tre legali, dopo aver acquisito peraltro una serie di filmati su dichiarazioni rilasciate in pubblico sempre in relazione all'inchiesta sull'uccisione di Sarah. Nei giorni scorsi tra Russo e Galoppa, in particolare, le accuse reciproche non sono certo mancate. Il primo ha adombrato ai microfroni il sospetto che la lunga confessione di Michele Misseri, compresa quella nella quale chiama in correità la figlia Sabrina per la partecipazione all'omicidio, sia stata in qualche modo ispirata e guidata dal suo difensore. Di contro, e a distanza di poche ore, Galoppa ha segnalato dinanzi alle telecamere la presenza 'sospetta' di Russo, la mattina del 15 ottobre, nelle vicinanze del garage di casa Misseri nel quale erano in corso rilievi da parte dei carabinieri con lo stesso contadino reo confesso. 'Sospetta', spiegò Galoppa, perché Russo più tardi venne chiamato ad assistere Sabrina Misseri nell'interrogatorio nella caserma dei carabinieri di Manduria (Taranto) conclusosi col fermo della ragazza. A tutto questo si sono aggiunte negli ultimi giorni voci non controllate sui motivi delle eccessive presenze degli stessi legali in trasmissioni televisive che trattavano la vicenda Scazzi. A rafforzare le intenzioni dell'Ordine degli avvocati di vederci chiaro nei comportamenti dei suoi iscritti è arrivato anche un 'fuori programma' di Russo in una pausa di una sua partecipazione a 'Matrix' su Canale 5. Mentre dallo studio centrale stavano per collegarsi con gli ospiti, Russo ha simulato un gesto volgare che è stato visto e segnalato dai telespettatori a 'Striscia la notizia', che ieri sera ha mandato in onda il filmato. In una vicenda così tragica che ha colpito, con motivazioni opposte, due famiglie imparentate tra loro, e che ha scatenato un caos mediatico ancora non sopito a 56 giorni dalla scomparsa di Sarah e a 15 giorni dal ritrovamento del suo corpo, sembra proprio che in qualche circostanza si sia andati oltre i limiti. Spetterà ora all'Ordine degli avvocati capire se e perché tutto questo sia accaduto.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 1.428em; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; font-size: 1em; line-height: 1.428em; "&gt;&lt;b&gt;PAESE CERCA RIABILITARE MICHELE, 'CUGINA COLPEVOLE'&lt;br /&gt;dell'inviato Roberto Buonavoglia&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 1.428em; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; font-size: 1em; line-height: 1.428em; "&gt;Chi è il mostro: Sabrina o suo padre Michele? E chi, tra i due, è più mostro dell'altro? Ad Avetrana il dibattito è aperto. In molti dicono di voler dimenticare in fretta, perché sconvolti, il delitto della povera Sarah Scazzi, ma basta entrare in un bar, varcare la soglia di un ristorante o affacciarsi in un panificio per sentire clienti e gestori discutere animatamente della tragica fine della quindicenne, uccisa dallo zio Michele e dalla cugina e amica del cuore Sabrina Misseri. Nessuno sembra parlare più di Sarah e del dolore dei suoi genitori, Concetta e Giacomo, che nel pomeriggio hanno visitato per la prima volta il terreno agricolo su cui si trova il pozzo-cisterna nel quale il corpo della loro bambina è stato nascosto per 42 giorni. Ormai tutti conoscono i particolari del delitto che hanno seguito in tv con la stessa ossessione che solitamente si riserva ad una telenovela. E anche come accade per le soap opera, anche qui ci sono il buono e il cattivo. Con il passare dei giorni, nell'immaginario collettivo, tra i due il più 'buono' è zio Michele che ha compiuto il delitto non più, come si diceva dopo la sua prima confessione, 'perche' è un mostrò, ma solo perché ha voluto assecondare la figlia Sabrina.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 1.428em; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; font-size: 1em; line-height: 1.428em; "&gt;Nessuno lo chiama più 'l'orco di Avetranà; nessuno ora crede che lui abbia potuto abusare sessualmente del cadavere della nipotina. La cattiva, ovviamente, è Sabrina che ha tradito la fiducia della cuginetta che la adorava come una sorella, che pendeva dalle sue labbra, e che chiedeva di essere adottata dalla sua famiglia. Inutile dire che in paese la soddisfazione è tanta ora che Sabrina è stata smascherata ed è in cella da una settimana. Gli aggettivi malevoli nei suoi confronti si sprecano. "Perché - dice Maria, 80 anni, cliente del panificio 'Due raggi di sole' - lei ha preso in giro tutti: voi giornalisti che le avete dato spazio, la zia Concetta che le aveva affidato la sua bambina, e tutti noi che le abbiamo creduto". "Ora - ribatte Antonella, nel bar 'La Parigina' - Sabrina sconti le sue colpe in carcere perché ha distrutto due famiglie e ne ha approfittato per andare in tv recitando di essere molto preoccupata per il rapimento della cuginetta". Nessuno perdona a Sabrina le lacrime e i pianti sollecitati dalle dirette tv, la richiesta a microfoni accesi dell'ergastolo per il padre Michele, e l'invito rivolto al genitore di aver il coraggio di scontare tutta la pena in carcere "perché - diceva - sarebbe un codardo se si suicidasse". Neppure la mamma di Sarah, Concetta Serrano Spagnolo, è disposta a perdonare Sabrina. Concetta e suo marito Giacomo - dice chi li ha incontrati oggi - sono distrutti dal dolore e stanno molto male. "Sono sconcertati e sotto choc", dice il loro avvocato Nicodemo Gentile, che oggi ha incontrato la mamma, il papà e il fratello di Sarah, Claudio. "La famiglia - aggiunge il legale - é consapevole che, evidentemente, c'é un coinvolgimento di Sabrina ma sa anche che c'é incertezza sul presunto ruolo di Cosima", sorella di Concetta.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 1.428em; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; font-size: 1em; line-height: 1.428em; "&gt;La mamma di Sarah al suo legale ha detto che "vuole sapere tutta la verità sulla dinamica dei fatti, sui comportamenti e suoi ruoli che ogni suo parente ha avuto nel delitto". Vuole capire se la sorella Cosima sapeva che la figlia e il marito avevano ucciso la sua bambina mentre tentavano di darle una lezione. "Concetta - sottolinea il legale - aspetta in modo logorante che si faccia chiarezza". Chiarimenti che chiedono anche da casa Misseri dove la mamma di Sabrina stamattina ha incontrato il sindaco di Avetrana, Mario De Mauro, al quale ha giurato che la figlia "é innocente, che il delitto è stato compiuto dal marito Michele che ha perso la testa". La donna rilancia i soliti interrogativi per riaprire il giallo. Ma ad Avetrana la gente ha le idee chiare su Michele e soprattutto su Sabrina. E non vuole più sentire parlare di giallo.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7890444354702833061-5212786632311875965?l=gavrielt.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://gavrielt.blogspot.com/feeds/5212786632311875965/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7890444354702833061&amp;postID=5212786632311875965' title='0 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7890444354702833061/posts/default/5212786632311875965'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7890444354702833061/posts/default/5212786632311875965'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://gavrielt.blogspot.com/2010/10/news-sarah-i-genitori-per-prima-volta.html' title='NEWS: Sarah, i genitori per prima volta al pozzo.'/><author><name>Gabriele Tolisano</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05684750316628639163</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='21' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_NB1q6559XhY/SISIyD15QzI/AAAAAAAAAEQ/7YLSKLF4IRs/S220/M+104.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7890444354702833061.post-1371364703603385268</id><published>2010-10-23T13:24:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2010-10-23T13:25:08.371+02:00</updated><title type='text'>NEWS: Wikileaks 400 mila documenti sull'orrore. In Iraq 109.000 vittime</title><content type='html'>&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; "&gt;LONDRA  - L'orrore quotidiano dell'Iraq raccontato in quasi 400.000 documenti resi noti già ieri da Wikileaks, costretto a pubblicare in anticipo la documentazione dopo la rottura dell'embargo da parte di Al Jazira. Dall'inizio del conflitto in Iraq nel 2003 sino alla sua conclusione nel 2009, si legge nella documentazione, sono morte più di 109.000 persone: tra queste, oltre 66.000 civili, ovvero più della metà del totale delle vittime. Un numero impressionante, di fronte al quale, notano molti, anche la guerra in Afghanistan impallidisce. Tra i morti civili, oltre 15 mila hanno perso la vita in incidenti sino ad ora sconosciuti, secondo i dati forniti dal gruppo londinese Iraq Body Count.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I responsabili principali di queste stragi, secondo quanto emerge dalla documentazione, sono i soldati iracheni, su cui cade il fardello delle reiterate violenze compiute nei confronti di prigionieri in loro custodia. Almeno sei detenuti, se non di più, sono morti mentre erano in stato di detenzione per le percosse ricevute: i prigionieri venivano costantemente frustati, percossi e maltrattati. Almeno in un caso gli americani hanno avuto il sospetto che a un detenuto iracheno fossero state amputate le dita e disciolte nell'acido. I documenti di Wikileaks - afferma Al Jazira - "rivelano che gli Stati Uniti erano al corrente del ricorso alla tortura autorizzato dallo Stato (iracheno)". Su alcuni episodi, afferma il New York Times, sono state svolte indagini da parte americana, ma nella maggior parte dei casi le segnalazioni dei soldati sono state ignorate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;E gli Usa hanno anche la loro parte di responsabilità diretta: dall'analisi condotta da Le Monde, per esempio, emerge che i soldati americani hanno ucciso 681 civili, tra cui molte donne e bambini, ai checkpoint. Non solo: i militari Usa hanno scoperto i cadaveri di "migliaia di uomini e donne vittime di esecuzioni sommarie", senza che ciò venisse reso noto. C'é poi un elicottero Apache che ricorre: il Crazyhorse 18, quello coinvolto nell'uccisione di due giornalisti della Reuters messo all'indice dopo un video pubblicato da Wikileaks che testimoniava la strage, aveva in precedenza sparato e ucciso due iracheni nonostante questi si fossero arresi. "Vogliono arrendersi", segnalò l'elicottero agli alti comandi, prima di ricevere da un avvocato militare della vicina base aerea di Taji luce verde al fuoco. Nei 400.000 documenti c'é l'orrore vero, come quello patito dai tanti civili iracheni mandati avanti su strade minate, con la scusa di "pulire la strada da macerie e rifiuti", mentre in realtà servivano per verificare la presenza di ordigni. E c'é spazio anche per Al Qaida: il gruppo di Osama bin Laden nel 2005 voleva attaccare il carcere iracheno di Abu Ghraib, la "prigione delle torture", chiuso con l'avvento dell'amministrazione Obama alla Casa Bianca. "50-100 razzi verranno usati per lanciare il segnale di inizio dell'attacco, che continuerà con il lancio di altri razzi.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I prigionieri devono prepararsi. Gli attaccanti dovranno essere pronti a sacrificare la vita dei detenuti per avere successo. Morire durante il Ramadan è un onore", si legge in una missiva attribuita a Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, l'allora leader di al Qaida in Iraq. Altri episodi, non meno brutali e inquietanti, emergeranno certamente nei prossimi giorni, man mano che i file verranno analizzati. Il Pentagono minimizza, gli episodi denunciati "sono stati a suo tempo ampiamente riportati in servizi di cronaca", ma non c'é dubbio che Julian Assange abbia messo ancora una volta i piedi nel piatto della politica estera Usa, con effetti tutti da verificare sulla politica interna statunitense alla vigilia delle elezioni di mid-term.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;MINISTERO IRAQ, NESSUNA SORPRESA DA DOCUMENTI&lt;/b&gt; - "Nessuna sorpresa" nei documenti sulla guerra in Iraq pubblicati da Wikileaks.

Si tratta di un prodotto molto riuscito e che manifesta sia una maniacale cura dei materiali che uno studio accurato di come gli utenti lo impugneranno e lo useranno. In questi anni i prodotti disegnati da Johnatan Ive si sono fatti sempre più raffinati e mutuano dettagli l'uno dall'altro: così dentro iPhone 4 troviamo tracce di iPad ma anche un allontanamento dal retro curvo delle precedenti serie 3G di iPhone.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 18px; padding-left: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; vertical-align: baseline; "&gt;Alcune soluzioni come lo schermo che si orienta a seconda di come si tiene il telefono sono sperimentate e usate anche da altri produttori di cellulari, altre ancora sono del tutto peculiari di iPhone come il numero ridottissimo di tasti ma anche queste non nuove.

Una buona parte dell’effetto è sicuramente conferito dal retro in vetro e dal metallo (si tratta di resistente acciaio) che contorna il bordo e che funge anche da antenna. Messo in tasca, iPhone, proprio per questa forma squadrata, sparisce e si tende a dimenticarsi dove lo si è riposto.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 18px; padding-left: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; vertical-align: baseline; "&gt;&lt;img title="spttp" src="http://www2.macitynet.it/_admin_/uploadfile/articles/iphonesotto.jpg" alt="spttp" width="600" height="244" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; " /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 18px; padding-left: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; vertical-align: baseline; "&gt;&lt;strong style="font-weight: bold; "&gt;RETINA DISPLAY &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Detto degli aspetti estetici dell’hardware si deve dire di quelli funzionali e anche sotto questo punto di vista iPhone compie un significativo passo avanti in due settori chiave: schermo e processore. Del Retina Display e dei suoi pixel da 78 micrometri (invisibili all’occhio umano, dice Apple), della densità di 324 pixel per pollice e dei 960x640 pixel di risoluzione si è detto moltissimo, ma fino a quando non si è davanti allo schermo e lo si vede a occhio nudo non si percepisce che cosa questi freddi dati significano in pratica. Detto in poche parole iPhone ha il miglior schermo che abbiamo mai visto in un dispositivo portatile, persino superiore a quello già più che eccellente di iPad. Tutto quello che si vede è più dettagliato e contrastato. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 18px; padding-left: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; vertical-align: baseline; "&gt;&lt;img title="re" src="http://www2.macitynet.it/_admin_/uploadfile/articles/iphoneretina223.jpg" alt="r" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; " /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 18px; padding-left: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; vertical-align: baseline; "&gt;&lt;strong style="font-weight: bold; "&gt;PROCESSORE E VELOCITA’&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Per quanto riguarda il processore, invece, che è il noto A4 di Apple usato da iPad (anche se nessuno è in grado di dire per certo che la versione sia quella di iPad) gli effetti si notano sulla responsività del sistema e nell’uso della applicazioni. Tutto è molto più veloce: dal lancio dell’interfaccia a quello delle applicazioni. Il confronto, in particolare, con il vecchio iPhone 3G che è il target di Apple, è tutto a favore di iPhone 4 che straccia letteralmente il suo predecessore, ma anche il 3GS, seppure ancora scattante, perde qualche punto con iOS 4 a bordo. Buona parte del merito è sicuramente, oltre che del processore, anche della memoria Ram portata a 512 MB contro i 256 del modello precedente. Al momento invece non ci sono indizi sul processore grafico (potrebbe essere il PowerVr SGX535 di Imagination) che comunque fa egregiamente il suo dovere nei giochi 3D che abbiamo provato, inclusi quei pochi già aggiornati alla risoluzione del Retina Display.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 18px; padding-left: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; vertical-align: baseline; "&gt;&lt;strong style="font-weight: bold; "&gt;BATTERIA&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In queste 4 settimane d'uso abbiamo testato a lungo la batteria per compiti standard, cercando di usarlo come avremmo fatto con un altro smartphone: quindi per telefonare, mandare SMS, navigazione, controllo della posta e qualche minuto di gioco e tenendo attivata la posta in push; il tutto in 3G e per diversi giorni partendo da ricariche al 100%. All’inizio terza giornata l’iPhone entrava nella “zona rossa” che segnalava la necessità di una ricarica. Il risultato è ottimo se rapportato al vecchio iPhone 3G e 3GS; questi due telefoni per la nostra esperienza non avrebbe superato la notte della prima giornata facendone lo stesso uso che abbiamo fatto di iPhone 4. Un secondo test con un film di 1:40 ha portato iPhone a perdere il 25% di carica; una telefonata di 20 minuti in 3G ha tolto circa il 4% di carica. Questo ci dice che è davvero la batteria del 19% più grande rispetto alle precedenti (unita al nuovo processore) rappresenta un passo fondamentale anche per un uso professione di iPhone.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 18px; padding-left: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; vertical-align: baseline; "&gt;&lt;strong style="font-weight: bold; "&gt;FOTOCAMERA&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;Dopo un uso di qualche giorno di iPhone siamo convinti che la “killer application” della versione 4 sia proprio la fotocamera. Il salto di qualità rispetto alle precedenti versioni è enorme sia in termini di resa cromatica che di definizione per valutare quel che intendiamo basta dare un’occhiata alle tante foto scattate con il cellulare Apple e confrontarle sia con quelle precedenti riprese con il modello 3GS, con dispositivi della concorrenza che con alcune point and shot.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px;

Le novità sono tante (dall’App mail rinnovata con caselle unificate, alle cartelle) ma le funzionalità sono del tutto identiche; se avete un iPhone 3G, invece, acquistando iPhone 4 avrete a disposizione alcune novità che non sono disponibili per il vostro dispositivo: il multitasking per alcune tipologie di applicazioni (chat, applicazioni Voip e GPS continuano a funzionare anche in background) e un lancio rapido dalla pausa per tutte le altre, una nuova protezione con password (invece che con codice numerico a 4 cifre) del sistema e lo sfondo scrivania personalizzabile. In aggiunta a questo avrete anche la possibilità di collegare una tastiera Bluetooth al vosto iPhone.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 18px; padding-left: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; vertical-align: baseline; "&gt;L'uso del processore A4 migliora notevolmente sia le prestazione delle applicazioni di base sia di quelle di terze parti: un esempio eclatante è l'uso di iMovie che Apple commercializza solo per il modello 4 e che qualche hacker intraprendente ha portato su 3GS: le differenze prestazionali sono del tutto evidenti e lo stesso accade con applicazioni come Panomatic che richiedono lunghi tempi di rendering per comporre immagini panoramiche. Il risparmio di tempo è evidente.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 18px; padding-left: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; vertical-align: baseline; "&gt;&lt;strong style="font-weight: bold; "&gt;RETI WIRELESS E GPS&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La rete Wi-Fi, ora di tipo “n”, di iPhone 4 ci ha dato l’impressione di essere più rapida nella ricerca e nell’aggancio dei network. Nulla di clamoroso, ma mettendo a confronto un iPhone 3GS e un iPhone 4 il secondo ha sempre vinto la corsa.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 18px; padding-left: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; vertical-align: baseline; "&gt;Il vantaggio per chi utilizza iPhone come streamer di filmati in buona risoluzione su un TV o su un monitor è del tutto evidente.

Il problema c’è ed è, a seconda dei casi, più o meno evidente in accordo alla qualità della ricezione nella zona in cui ci troviamo. Se il segnale è buono le tacche scenderanno ma di poco, se il segnale non è buono la ricezione non sarà possibile; il fenomeno è del tutto riproducibile e assai più evidente, almeno a nostro giudizio, nonostante quel che si sforza di sostenere Apple, di quello che manifestano altri telefoni, inclusi gli iPhone 3G e 3GS, anche se non per tutti gli utenti sarà un vero problema. Anzi forse lo è addirittura per una minima parte. Apple avrebbe potuto evitare tante polemiche e strumentalizzazioni (che ci sono state) a monte, usando un altro design; forse avrebbe anche potuto evitarne a valle se avesse avuto un differente atteggiamento di fronte alla situazione che andava montando. L’omaggio di un bumper è probabilmente per la stragrande maggioranza dei clienti un sistema sufficiente per evitare di incorrere nelle situazioni più difficili e altrettanto probabilmente solo pochissimi di coloro che sono interessati all’acquisto rinuncerà a fronte della martellante campagna di stampa in materia e quindi a breve tutta la vicenda sarà alle spalle.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 18px; padding-left: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; vertical-align: baseline; "&gt;Detto questo possiamo aggiungere che la ricezione di iPhone 4 rispetto a quella dei modelli precedenti fa un passo avanti con una migliore ricezione. Lo diciamo non guardando alle tacche ma ricordando i luoghi dove in precedenza con altri modelli non avevamo campo mentre con iPhone 4 ce l’abbiamo. Niente di miracoloso, intendiamoci, ma qualche vantaggio si ottiene.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 18px; padding-left: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; vertical-align: baseline; "&gt;&lt;img title="ricezion" src="http://www2.macitynet.it/_admin_/uploadfile/articles/iphonebatteria.jpg" alt="ricezion" width="600" height="328" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; " /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong style="font-weight: bold; "&gt;UNA CUSTODIA RISOLVE EVENTUALI PROBLEMI&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Visto che al momento per il risolvere il problema dell'antenna la soluzione sembra essere l'uso di una custodia ci permettiamo di inserire una piccola postilla Come facciamo da tempo per proteggere tutti i nostri iPhone utilizziamo una cover (in questo caso un Case-Mate in silicone trasparente) che lo preservi dalle cadute, tanto più pericolose ora non tanto per il vetro che dovrebbe essere sufficientemente rinforzato quanto per non rovinare il profilo esterno dei due pannelli vetrati sul fronte e sul retro: dobbiamo dire che l'iPhone utilizzato per la prova ci è caduto un'ora dopo l'acquisto da una altezza di 1 metro e 20 cm rimanendo con i vetri sul fronte e sul retro completamente intatti tranne una piccolissima ammaccatura sul filo della parte superiore. Visto che il telefono lo utilizziamo nei frangenti più "pericolosi" e visto il suo valore la custodia è un accessorio assolutamente indispensabile. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 18px; padding-left: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; vertical-align: baseline; "&gt;&lt;img title="custodia" src="http://www2.macitynet.it/_admin_/uploadfile/articles/iphonecustodia.jpg" alt="custodia" width="600" height="281" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; " /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 18px; padding-left: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; vertical-align: baseline; "&gt;&lt;strong style="font-weight: bold; "&gt;CONCLUSIONI&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Le conclusioni su iPhone 4 sono facili da tirare. Siamo di fronte ad un dispositivo estremamente sofisticato che prende le mosse da un predecessore, iPhone 3GS, che era già molto avanzato al punto da essere ancora oggi probabilmente il miglior smartphone sul mercato rispetto al quale compie diversi passi avanti come nella batteria e nel design ora sicuramente più sofisticato. Le prestazioni sono eccellenti ma soprattutto eccellente è il modulo digicamera che produce immagini e video di elevatissima qualità per la classe del dispositivo.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 18px; padding-left: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; vertical-align: baseline; "&gt;La cura dei dettagli è maniacale sia sotto il profilo dello stile che di vari elementi hardware quasi invisibili ma la cui importanza si percepisce con l’uso come il GPS ad elevate prestazioni o il giroscopio. Le limitazioni di iPhone sono le stesse dei modelli precedenti: si tratta di un dispositivo chiuso, prodotto da un’azienda che non è disposta a compromessi neppure con i suoi clienti e che per questo istituisce un percorso di utilizzo quasi obbligato che passa dall’installazione delle applicazioni e termina con un hardware inaccessibile,  rendendo l’esperienza di personalizzazione quasi impossibile anche per colmare lacune per diversi aspetti inspiegabili (ad esempio la mancanza di sicronizzazione via wireless). Apple in pratica obbliga a credere in quel che è iPhone o andare altrove.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 18px; padding-left: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; vertical-align: baseline; "&gt;A fronte di tutto questo l’acquisto è consigliato a tutti coloro che apprezzano iPhone e la sua filosofia; in particolare chi ha un iPhone 3G troverà molte cose che mancano al suo dispositivo. Chi ha un 3GS probabilmente se non è spinto dall’appeal per un design molto più sofisticato e insopportabilmente infastidito dalla durata della batteria del suo telefono potrebbe anche saltare un giro. Tutti coloro che hanno un altro smartphone utroveranno un prodotto del tutto diverso da quello che offre il mercato&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 18px; padding-left: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; vertical-align: baseline; "&gt;&lt;strong style="font-weight: bold; "&gt;Pregi:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Design e finiture impeccabili&lt;br /&gt;- Schermo eccezionale&lt;br /&gt;- Batteria a lunga durata compatibilmente con la tecnologia 3G&lt;br /&gt;- Ottimo comportamento delle sezione fotografica e video.&lt;br /&gt;- Ricezione cellulare notevolmente migliorata &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 18px; padding-left: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-size: 14px; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; vertical-align: baseline; "&gt;&lt;strong style="font-weight: bold; "&gt;Difetti:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- L'abbassamente di segnale che si presenta sporadicamente con una impugnatura particolare richiede l'uso di una custodia.&lt;br /&gt;- Prezzi in Italia più elevati che in altri paesi europei.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7890444354702833061-5919113675345299105?l=gavrielt.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://gavrielt.blogspot.com/feeds/5919113675345299105/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7890444354702833061&amp;postID=5919113675345299105' title='0 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7890444354702833061/posts/default/5919113675345299105'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7890444354702833061/posts/default/5919113675345299105'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://gavrielt.blogspot.com/2010/10/melafonino-iphone-4-la-recensione-dopo.html' title='MELAFONINO iPhone 4: RECENSIONE COMPLETA dopo un mese di utilizzo'/><author><name>Gabriele Tolisano</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05684750316628639163</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='21' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_NB1q6559XhY/SISIyD15QzI/AAAAAAAAAEQ/7YLSKLF4IRs/S220/M+104.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7890444354702833061.post-6670442967509120213</id><published>2010-03-07T16:14:00.004+01:00</published><updated>2010-03-07T16:16:58.926+01:00</updated><title type='text'>BERLUSCONI: DA SINISTRA SOLO INSULTI, CASINI SERVE IL PARTITO DI RICONCILIAZIONE</title><content type='html'>&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 15px; "&gt;&lt;div class="header-content" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 12px; padding-left: 4px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); "&gt;&lt;h1 style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 3px; padding-left: 0px; font-size: 32px; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; line-height: 34px; text-transform: none; "&gt;Berlusconi: da sinistra solo insulti.

Così il presidente del Consiglio Silvio Berlusconi è intervenuto in collegamento telefonico ad una manifestazione del Pdl campano a sostegno del candidato alla presidenza della Regione, Stefano Caldoro. "Questa sinistra sa dire solo dei no - ha proseguito il premier - mentre noi risolviamo le emergenze".&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 1.428em; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; font-size: 1em; line-height: 1.428em; "&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 1.428em; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; font-size: 1em; line-height: 1.428em; "&gt;&lt;b&gt;BERLUSCONI, GOVERNO SINISTRA SAREBBE STATO POLIZIA -&lt;/b&gt;"Se tornasse al governo la sinistra rimetterebbe l'Ici sulla prima casa, aumenterebbe dal 12.50% al 25% le tasse su Bot e Cct ed introdurrebbe la patrimoniale, perché è in questo modo che vuole ridurre il deficit pubblico". Il premier Silvio Berlusconi non fa differenza tra elezioni regionali e politiche e chiama alla mobilitazione gli elettori del Pdl sui rischi di un ritorno al potere del centrosinistra. Collegato telefonicamente con l'Hotel Tiberio a Napoli, dove era in corso la manifestazione del centrodestra a sostegno del candidato alla presidenza della Regione, Stefano Caldoro, il presidente del Consiglio ha rinnovato le accuse di oppressione fiscale e di "stato di polizia" a Pd ed alleati. "Dobbiamo spiegare a tutti che cosa sarebbe un governo della sinistra - ha detto - vogliono limitare a 100 euro i pagamenti in contanti, obbligando a pagare il resto in assegni o con carte di credito - ha detto - e questo sarebbe uno Stato di polizia tributaria". "Vogliono dare ai pubblici ministeri le intercettazioni su tutti, togliendo ogni spazio alla privacy, e questo sarebbe uno stato di polizia per tutti - ha proseguito - quanto all'immigrazione vogliono frontiere aperte, il che sarebbe un'invasione, con la speranza di ribaltare il dato elettorale e e far diventare minoranza noi moderati".&lt;b&gt;CAMPANIA NON E' PIU FEUDO ROSSO&lt;/b&gt; - Il premier Silvio Berlusconi è fiducioso su una vittoria del Pdl in Campania. Salutato da una ovazione durante il collegamento telefonico, Berlusconi, rivolgendosi al coordinatore regionale Nicola Cosentino ha detto: "Credo che dobbiate essere veramente sereni perché i cittadini campani hanno già capito che c'é bisogno di un cambiamento. La Campania non è già più un feudo rosso. Qui governiamo 180 comuni e tre province, cioé l'80% dell'elettorato che ha compreso da che parte stare". "Adesso - ha concluso Berlusconi -la Campania attende solo il colpo finale e cioé la vittoria di Stefano Caldoro". &lt;b&gt;SERVE SINTONIA CON GOVERNO NAZIONALE&lt;/b&gt; - Berlusconi chiede omogeneità tra le nuove giunte regionali ed il governo centrale e chiama alla mobilitazione gli elettori del centrodestra campani. Durante il collegamento telefonico il presidente del Consiglio ha detto: "Con noi al governo nelle giunte regionali ci sarebbe una sintonia con il governo nazionale ed un'ampia collaborazione. Sarebbe possibile quindi attuare quel Piano Casa che tutti attendono, snellire le procedere burocratiche, diminuire le tasse e riuscire ad ottenere l'apertura delle imprese in un solo giorno". Per Berlusconi governi di centrodestra omogenei al governo nazionale realizzerebbero la riforma della sanità con l'abolizione delle liste d'attesa. "Inoltre - ha detto il premier - le nostre regioni riprenderebbero a mettere a dimora gli alberi, creerebbero più verde e piste ciclabili per rifare dell'Italia il giardino d'Europa".&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 1.428em; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; font-size: 1em; line-height: 1.428em; "&gt;&lt;b&gt;CASINI, SERVE PARTITO DI RICONCILIAZIONE&lt;/b&gt; - "Noi dobbiamo fare un partito che sappia parlare un linguaggio di riconciliazione nazionale". Lo ha detto oggi a Torino il leader dell'Udc Pierferdinando Casini partecipando ad un incontro elettorale per le regionali a sostegno della candidata del centro sinistra Mercedes Bresso. "Io penso - ha detto Casini - che questo è un Paese di cani rabbiosi. La Lega contro la sinistra, il centro contro la destra, gli extracomunitari contro gli italiani, il nord contro il sud, il sud contro il nord, i magistrati contro i politici, i politici contro i magistrati. Qui - ha concluso - c'é da ricongiungere un tessuto unitario di un Paese che si sta consumando nei suoi problemi". &lt;b&gt;GOVERNO PENSA SOLO A SE STESSO &lt;/b&gt;- "Il governo pensa solo a certe cose", ha detto ancora il leader dell'Udc. "La cosa importante - ha aggiunto - è che tutti i cittadini siano importanti davanti alla legge. Siamo stati esclusi dalle elezioni di Trento, ma noi non abbiamo inneggiato al colpo di stato o ai magistrati comunisti". "Noi - ha ribadito - andiamo avanti parlando di problemi del Paese, perché un governo che per una settimana è paralizzato dalle liste, mentre i dati sulla Cassa integrazione registrano un aumento del 133%, si documenta da solo. E' un governo che pensa solo a se stesso". Casini ha poi ribadito che l'Udc "non scende in piazza per costume politico e istituzionale". "Non polemizziamo con il Capo dello Stato - ha concluso - ci inchiniamo come sempre al rispetto delle leggi anche quando ci sembra una pagina non bella della democrazia quella che si è disegnata".&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 1.428em; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; font-size: 1em; line-height: 1.428em; "&gt;&lt;b&gt;CACCIA: 40% ELETTORI NON VOTA CHI E'PRO-DOPPIETTE&lt;/b&gt; - Il 40% degli elettori alle regionali cambierebbe il suo voto se il candidato inizialmente prescelto proponesse regole a favore della caccia. E' uno dei risultati di un sondaggio realizzato da Ipsos per Enpa, Lav, Legambiente, Lipu e Wwf Italia su 'Le opinioni degli italiani sulla caccia'. Dall'indagine emerge che il 79% dei cittadini considera la caccia una crudeltà da vietare o da regolare più rigidamente, mentre l'80% la vorrebbe vietare nei terreni privati senza l'autorizzazione del proprietario. L'84% degli italiani, inoltre, darebbe la licenza di caccia solo a 21 anni con ritiro ai 70, mentre il 71% chiede di limitare la stagione venatoria a ottobre, novembre e dicembre. Nettissimo anche il dato relativo all'articolo 43 della legge Comunitaria, approvato in Senato e ora in discussione alla Camera, che permetterebbe l'estensione della stagione venatoria oltre gli attuali limiti 1 settembre-31 gennaio. In questo caso la contrarietà è dell'81% degli italiani, che dunque si oppongono ad ogni ipotesi di allungamento della stagione di caccia. Molto importante il responso anche nelle tredici Regioni al voto: il 69% degli elettori, secondo il sondaggio Ipsos, si dichiara contrario o totalmente contrario ai candidati che proponessero regole a favore della caccia, e 4 elettori su 10 cambierebbero di conseguenza il loro voto.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 1.428em; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; font-size: 1em; line-height: 1.428em; "&gt;&lt;b&gt;DI PIETRO: CON VOTO MANDIAMO GOLPISTI A CASA&lt;/b&gt; - "Siamo di fronte ad un governo e una maggioranza che modificano le regole a proprio uso e consumo e il decreto 'salva Pdl' lo dimostra". Lo ha affermato Antonio Di Pietro, leader dell'Italia dei Valori, nel corso di un' iniziativa elettorale a Lodi. "La strada principale per mandare a casa questi golpisti - ha aggiunto Di Pietro - è il voto e credo che gli elettori si siano già resi conto che siamo di fronte ad un governo e una maggioranza che usano le istituzioni per farsi gli affari propri e per modificare le regole del gioco durante la partita: è stato superato il senso del limite. Mi spiace constatare che, di fronte ad uno sfregio così evidente alla democrazia, serpeggiano l'ipocrisia e il falso perbenismo di coloro che sostengono che la colpa sia solo di chi ha commesso questo fatto grave lasciando fuori le responsabilità di chi doveva fare il controllore. A me pare - conclude il leader dell'IdV - che sia una coperta troppo corta per giustificare il comportamento del Presidente della Repubblica".&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7890444354702833061-6670442967509120213?l=gavrielt.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://gavrielt.blogspot.com/feeds/6670442967509120213/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7890444354702833061&amp;postID=6670442967509120213' title='0 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7890444354702833061/posts/default/6670442967509120213'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7890444354702833061/posts/default/6670442967509120213'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://gavrielt.blogspot.com/2010/03/berlusconi-da-sinistra-solo-insulti.html' title='BERLUSCONI: DA SINISTRA SOLO INSULTI, CASINI SERVE IL PARTITO DI RICONCILIAZIONE'/><author><name>Gabriele Tolisano</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05684750316628639163</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='21' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_NB1q6559XhY/SISIyD15QzI/AAAAAAAAAEQ/7YLSKLF4IRs/S220/M+104.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7890444354702833061.post-2723240323060968559</id><published>2010-03-07T16:14:00.001+01:00</published><updated>2010-03-07T16:14:37.897+01:00</updated><title type='text'>CEI SCORRETTO CAMBIARE IN CORSA LE REGOLE DI GIOCO</title><content type='html'>&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 15px; "&gt;&lt;h2 style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 3px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 2px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 2px; padding-left: 10px; font-size: 12px; font-weight: bold; font-style: normal; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; letter-spacing: 0.001em; text-transform: uppercase; background-image: url(http://www.ansa.it/web/images/all.png); background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); color: rgb(38, 155, 49); clear: both; border-top-width: 1px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-left-width: 0px; border-top-style: dotted; border-right-style: dotted; border-bottom-style: dotted; border-left-style: dotted; border-top-color: rgb(171, 171, 171); border-right-color: rgb(171, 171, 171); border-bottom-color: rgb(171, 171, 171); border-left-color: rgb(171, 171, 171); background-position: 0px -1094px; background-repeat: no-repeat no-repeat; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;div class="news hentry-main" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 6px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 10px; padding-left: 0px; width: 340px; overflow-x: hidden; overflow-y: hidden; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-left-width: 0px; border-top-style: dotted; border-right-style: dotted; border-bottom-style: dotted; border-left-style: dotted; border-top-color: rgb(171, 171, 171); border-right-color: rgb(171, 171, 171); border-bottom-color: rgb(171, 171, 171); border-left-color: rgb(171, 171, 171); clear: both; "&gt;&lt;h3 style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 7px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; font-size: 20px; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; line-height: 22px; "&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.ansa.it/web/notizie/rubriche/politica/2010/02/27/visualizza_new.html_1708895521.html" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-decoration: none; font-size: 32px; line-height: 34px; "&gt;Cei, scorretto cambiare in corsa regole del gioco&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;h4 style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 7px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; font-size: 14px; font-weight: bold; font-style: normal; color: rgb(89, 89, 89); line-height: 16px; "&gt;Intervento di mons.
