I got an email from a friend, suggesting to give this stuff a look. Ok its from Nikon, but it looks nice enough, trying a few on demo.

Not cheap for sure..but some neat things here. Have a look for yourself. Film simulations a presets are extensive, for both colour and b&w packages. Also NR and sharpening software. Not had a chance to try them all out yet.

When DxO had released version 5.2 that included the A700 and A350 and a few lenses, I thought that release would be all they would provide for the next few quarters. To my delight (and slight disbelief), the Alphas appear to be part of their regular releases.

Check out the two announcements -
