[October 1, 2002]

Welcome to the second (October 2002) issue of Photoxels! Back in mid September, we started the first installment of our free tutorial. It's quite hard to teach and pass on one's knowledge, and so we are struggling a bit in coming up with a format that we like. So don't be surprised if you find that section changing often, or if it takes longer to bring all the installments out.

Design
Why is it so difficult to come up with an original design for a digital camera? When we think of original designs, some brands consistently come to mind: Olympus and Canon. Though their cameras look and feel like other cameras, Olympus and Canon designers have designed in a je-ne-sais-quoi something that adds personality to their cameras. In this issue, we highlight cameras with original designs and superior features with our OriGenial™ Seal of Approval. Take a look at the Canon G3, Olympus Camedia C-50 Zoom and the Fujifilm FinePix F601.

What's New
Already, we have added a couple of new sections to the site. We have added a glossary of terms, but don't expect to read a precise definition of photography terms here. In keeping with our stated objective of being as clear as possible, we have endeavored to explain terms in a useful way.

Leica started 35mm photography and it is fitting that we feature a (very brief) history of Leica cameras in this issue.

New Cameras
New digital cameras featured are the Nikon Coolpix 4300, the Olympus C-730 Ultra Zoom, the Olympus C-50 Zoom, and the Canon G3.

Updates
Readers might have noticed a slight change to our logo: The "P" in Photoxels has now acquired a more "pixelated" look. If you are viewing this page in Netscape Navigator 7.0 or IE 5.0 +, you will also notice the Web Site Icon that shows up next to the URL in the location bar.

Finally, we have rewritten the About section, giving a better idea of what Photoxels is all about.
