Nikon D300 DSLR

Nikon has released an updated version of the firmware for their D300 DSLR camera. The new 1.03 version of the firmware fixes a problem often called “Dead Battery Syndrome” where the battery indicator falsely says that the battery is dead.

The 1.03 version of the Nikon D300 firmware can be downloaded here for Windows and here for Mac.

Zeiss ZA Sonnar T* 135mm f/1.8

The excellent German website Photozone has reviewed the Zeiss ZA Sonnar T* 135mm f/1.8 (Sony SAL-135F18Z) lens. This telephoto lens seems very interesting with its fast f/1.8 aperture.

Photozone ends giving the Sony lens a “Highly Recommended” score as the lens is able to produce excellent pictures without any noticeable distortions, vignetting or chromatic aberrations. The only downsides are the high price (but what to you except from high quality optics) and lack of weather sealing.
Seems like an excellent telephoto lens if you are looking for a fast alternative.

For quite some time the mozilla firefox browser has been my choice for surfing the web. I especially like the way mozilla firefox use tabs for easier browsing and I find their use of tabs better than the Opera browser.
Another great feature is the ability to use add ons. There are many different add ons for mozilla firefox and my favorites are spell checkers in Norwegian and English, and different Greasemonkey scripts.

To get the program simply click this link to download mozilla firefox.

The browser is completely free and was just released in a new and improved version so check out this mozilla firefox free download. I do not think you will regret it if you are using the Internet Explorer browser.
