Hands-on with the HP Envy 110 e-All-In-One

It prints, scans, copies and faxes, more wirelessly than you even expect.

HP Envy 110 e-all-in-one wireless wi-fi printer fax scanner review ProPhotoCoalition.com Thumbnail

I’ve had the chance to use HP’s new Envy 110 e-All-in-one printer/copier/scanner/fax, and I love it. It’s amazingly easy to set up, has it’s own touch screen to walk you through connecting it to your Wi-Fi (and a LOT more, but we’ll get to that in a bit).

CRU-Dataport Drive Boxes

A safe way to archive and store your old hard drives.

CRU-Dataport Drive Box anti-static safe archive store hard drive

Unless you’ve lived under a rock for the past 20 years, you use computers. And if you’re like most of us, you’ve replaced, upgraded or just added new hard drives. And you’ve kept the old ones. There’s stuff on there you’re using for a backup, archiving specific projects, or just saving it. How do you keep those drives safe and organized?

Field review: Wiebetech ToughTech Duo QR

One tough and useful field unit!

image

I’ve had a chance to try one of Wiebetech’s new ToughTech Duo , and I was impressed. It lives up to it’s “Tough” moniker and provides the support and security I like in the field. It really has everything you could want in an external storage unit for location work. It’s a tiny RAID case, using two laptop drives internally, so it fits in almost any bag or case next to your laptop.

I went to CES this year for the first time. Yes, the first time. It was time, I now cover technology for another blog, and that team and I went to the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. The biggest showcase of technology, both new and what’s not even here yet.

Sonnet Echo Expresscard Thunderbolt Adapter Review

Dan Carr | 05/19- 10:20 PM

Testing the only current Thunderbolt CF card reader option

I’m sure by now that you are aware of the Thunderbolt standard and how it has a theoretical throughput that is much faster than Firewire 800, USB 2 or 3 and eSATA.  Like many people I excitedly bought one of the newer Macbooks last year when they first featured Thunderbolt ports but sadly Thunderbolt accessories have been relatively thin on the ground.  Some blame high licensing fees imposed by Apple and Intel whilst some blame technical difficulties and incompatibilities with the implementation of the technology.  I’ve had my Macbook Air for nearly a year now and until the Sonnet Echo arrived on my doorstep I hadn’t plugged a single Thunderbolt product into it.

Photography: What’s real, what’s not and does it matter?

Matt Brandon | 05/08- 07:38 PM

Is there such a thing as integrity in a photograph?

I got some flack on Facebook about a past post on my blog . I received a comment from a reader or two stating they felt that what they saw in the produced images was not real. Meaning, after running through my workflow in Lightroom the images no longer represented reality. I have gotten this kind of feedback many times in the past. I think people are rather shocked at seeing a photo “undressed”. It’s a bit like seeing a high-fashion model on the streets without any makeup, it can be scary.
