Here’s a great little how to I found via Lifehacker that shows you how to create automation in Photoshop for resizing, sharpening and optimization of multiple images. Save time by performing routine operations on mutliple images at once instead of one at a time. Wired’s How To Guide shows you how.

Nikon is pleased to introduce the COOLPIX P5000 to the Nikon COOLPIX Performance Series of digital cameras. The new COOLPIX P5000 offers advanced functions, ease of operation, and high image quality that is sure to satisfy photo and camera enthusiasts. The P5000 boasts 10 effective megapixels, a 3.5x Zoom-Nikkor glass lens, an optical viewfinder, and an incredible, bright high resolution 2.5-inch LCD monitor with anti-reflection coating. The P5000 incorporates a new advanced image processing engine, which optimizes low light performance and color reproduction, and Nikon’s optical VR image stabilization, which compensates for camera shake.”The COOLPIX P5000 was designed for the photographer who enjoys a high level of control, advanced imaging technologies and the ability to take creative control of their photography,” says Bill Giordano, General Manager Marketing, COOLPIX for Nikon Inc. “The P5000 will be compatible with system-expanding accessories that will allow photographers take their creativity and images to new heights.”

I bought this camera a few months ago, having decided to step into the world of digital SLR’s. After a bit of research I settled on the Olympus Evolt E500 for a couple of reasons. First, I’ve always had either Olympus or Minolta equipment and never had major issue with either of them, so I’m partial to those products. The E500 however, is an entry level camera and at the time the other model Olympus offered was the E1, their professional model. I’m no professional photographer, I wouldn’t even consider myself an amateur, but I wanted a nice setup and my point and shoots just weren’t doing it for me, but I didn’t want to spend a small fortune for something I might not be able to use. I bought the popular kit that comes with the E500 and two lenses, a 14-45mm f/3.5-5.6 lens and a 40-150mm f/3.5-4.5 Zuiko lens. It offers an 8 megapixel resolution, 2.5″ HyperCrystal LCD, Sonic Wave Filter, TruePic Turbo Image Processor, Pop-up flash, fifteen scene modes and full exposure control. Plus it’s compatible with both an xD-Picture Card and CompactFlash card.
