Here are some great shots taken with the Olympus E-PL1 by our friend Peter Ewen from his recent trip to Mexico. We thought the pictures really showcased the ability of this micro 4/3 camera from Olympus. Small, compact and full of features it’s a great camera to travel with. Feel free to leave a comment for Peter if you’d like. BTW, Peter’s day job is Director,  Product Marketing, DSLR for Olympus. Bergen County Camera has a full line of Olympus 4/3 cameras, lenses and accessories.

Our new Epson Stylus Pro 7900 has arrived! This 24” wide printer uses Epson’s new Ultrachrome HDR pigment ink technology. With 10 colors including orange and green, this is the widest color gamut ever from an Epson Stylus Pro printer. This printer allows you to get the most out of your digital images, making breathtaking color prints and enlargements!  The black and white prints are also spectacular. With Epson’s three level black ink technology, the 7900 simultaneously prints with black, light black and light light black inks, providing outstanding highlight-to-shadow grayscale accuracy for a smoother tonal range. But don’t take my word for it, come see for yourself! Bring us a print-ready digital image and we’ll make you a free custom 8×10 enlargement*. Just mention this article at the processing counter to receive your free print!

 *One enlargement per customer for in-store pickup.  If original is a print, slide or negative, scanning charges will apply.

As much as we are nerds here at the camera store, we’re generally pretty jaded when it comes to firmware updates. It’s usually the standard “fixes banding issues when shooting at ISO 3200 in RAW mode with the white balance set to cloudy and the moon is beginning it’s waxing phase”. But! Every now and again they like to surprise us with something that’s actually useful.

Canon just released a firmware update which deals specifically with HD Video in the Canon 5D Mark II. Normally, when doing video with the Mark II, there’s not a lot in terms of manual controls. Actually, none at all. This new firmware update gives you full manual freedom when doing video.

Follow the link to download and for more info:

If you’re having trouble installing the firmware, feel free to stop by the store and we’d be more than happy to help you out.
