A new edition of the Cameraholic Digest has arrived! All apologies for the delays, unfortunately this is a Jenny from the Block blog, so we can't offer non-stop coverage all the time. Just some of the time :)... Lens reviews, as before, can be found at the Lens Reviews opera house, with the latest ones for the Tamron 24-70mm f2.8 Di VC and Voigtlander 17.5mm f0.95... Note: DC Watch Impress has not gone post-crazy, we simply fell behind in keeping up with them :)

Free Getty Images Year In Focus 2011 for the iPad/Books2

We mentioned this at the Camera Deals blog yesterday, but since it is also of more general interest, it might be a good idea to mention it here: Getty Images is offering the Year in Focus 2011 iPad Book (iTunes USA store link) for free! An iPad with Books 2 is required in order to read it.

This is an interactive book with pictures and video, 47 pages long, a 450MB download. It was first published on iTunes on May 22, 2012.

Even if you don't have an iPad right now, you can still get it for free on iTunes. You can read it at a later time when you have a compatible device. You can always pause the download and delete it from the iTunes downloads queue if you don't want a 450MB download against your data cap. You can download at a later time when you need it or when you are on Wifi.

Impact review: Nanoha 5X macro lens at Megapixel

The launch of the many new different mirrorless systems has had a pleasant side-effect in the market, it opened things up in the world of lenses, as it is no longer just the house brands and TamTokSig. For fans of super-macro, Yasuhara released the Nanoha 5X macro lens for NEX and Micro Four Thirds, and today, Megapixel.co.il has published an in-depth review of the Nanoha 5X (in English) using the Sony NEX-7 as the test base camera!

For more lens reviews, check the Lens Reviews stream.

The lens is currently in-stock at B&H Photo for $500 in Sony NEX E-mount and Micro Four Thirds flavors.

PS: "TamTokSig" is short for Tamron + Tokina + Sigma

Mobile Noise: Samsung Galaxy S III reviews edition

The continuing advancements in technology make smartphones more and more useful (or less and less useless) for photography in the best-camera-is-the-one-you-have-with-you spirit. The iPhones have developed their own cult following. On the non-Apple side, the Samsung Galaxy has emerged as a stand out among the sea of Android phones (according to many but not everyone obviously). Samsung has just unleashed to the world their latest flagship, the Galaxy SIII (S3), also known as the GT-I9300 when unlocked.

Daily Deal: Eneloop bundle with reusable case for $40 w/free S&H

If you are an Eneloop power user (pun intended!), the super power pack, model SEC-N16SETEVP, had dropped to $40 with free shipping at Amazon by Amazon itself. This is a live price, so you can buy as many kits as you like. Because it is not part of a structured deal, the price can change (or not change) at any time.

They won't be added to this post below.

The Connected Camera (baby steps edition): Panasonic FX90 gets its own app

In perhaps a sign of the shape of things to come in the next few weeks/months/years, Panasonic has announced brand new Android and iTunes apps for the Panasonic FX90 P&S digital camera, in conjunction with a new firmware update. The combination of the app and new firmware will give you some control over the camera through the apps. Baby steps because this is only and specifically for the Panasonic FX90 digital camera.
