Contrary to Nikon, which released a new version of ViewNX this week without support for Snow Leopard or Windows 7, Canon released a PDF file clarifying which Canon cameras support Windows 7. Basically, unless your camera is very old, your Canon software is Window 7 compatible.
Thanks, Canon, for handling this better than Nikon.

On the day of the release of Windows 7, Nikon released an update of its ViewNX software. Of course, no Nikon user should expect support for a brand-new operating system on the day of its release, so the update supports XP and Vista, but not Windows 7. To the same tune, Nikon users should not expect support for a 2-month old OS version – Snow Leopard is not supported by this update, either.
If I were a Nikon user, I had abandoned their software years ago – no matter how good it is. This kind of OS support is simply not acceptable, esp. when Nikon’s competition (Adobe) supported Snow Leopard and Windows 7 the day it was released!
Details on the ViewNX update can be found on Nikon’s website.

Regardless whether you already own a copy of Lightroom, a beta of version 3 of Adobe Photoshop Lightroom is now available. As always, it can be downloaded from Adobe’s Download Center. Luminous Landscape has an excellent preview article on what’s new in this beta version.
I don’t know about you, but my copy is already downloaded.

According to Forrester Research (via Popular Photography Magazine), 53% of PC owners in the U.S. view and manage photos on their PC, while only 2% of the same PC owners edit videos.
I find stats like these misleading, since there is an implied correlation between the two numbers when in fact there is none. It is the same as if someone claims: Soccer players score x% of all goals during the second half of a game, while they play y% of all passes with their right foot. It makes for two interesting numbers, but nothing more.
It would be much more interesting to compare what percentage of PC users edited videos vs. photos or what percentage viewed photos and/or videos. But then we are not in the statistics business, so we don’t know what numbers and comparisons people really love to see no matter how useful they turn out to be…
