Portable photo printers are great for those special occasions where you want to print photos right then to give out. They are also a great device for those who like to do their own scrap booking. Epson has announced a new printer called the PM225 PictureMate Charm that is portable and promises quality photos.
Epson announced a new printer in their Stylus Photo line today called the PX650 all-in-one. This printer is targeted toward digital photographers and doesn’t even require a PC to function.
Canon introduced three new photo printers today that sport quite a few new features that you’ll likely be interested in. First up is the PIXMA MP560, which is an all-in-one inkjet that sports duplex printing, photo correction and Wi-Fi.
Sony subsidiary MotionPortrait have been demonstrating their latest 3D technology: automatically creating a 3D graphic from a 2D photo of a person’s face. The system – also called MotionPortrait – can identify the mouth, eyes and other features of the human face, and in two seconds construct a 3D representation of that face which can be manipulated, rotated, or even overlaid on top of video clips.

So what does an avian photographer knows about product photography? Not much, but a good image is all in the lighting and background. With the right equipment, product photography is in fact very simple, and twice as straightforward in a consistent lighting photo studio. A professional light tent with balanced lighting and seamless background can be costly, up to thousand of dollars, and is out of reach for small profit auction retailers or ecommerce that regularly add product images to their online catalogs. What we have for review today is an affordable product with an infinity virtual backdrop that the manufacturers claim can be used by anyone, regardless of experience, to get high quality product shots –- the Pro Cyc MyStudio20 Tabletop Photo Studio.
