Currently, 28 portable devices are listed and 14 of them matched up against each other by transfer speed and battery life. The author is a photography enthusiast named Frederic Houde.

New York Times, Digital Underwater
A year ago, Douglas David Seifert took a photo with his Canon D60 that became the first digital cover for Dive Magazine. In tomorrow's New York Times, the Science section will feature a story on the annual snapper spawning ritual in Belize, which will contain two digital underwater images of whale sharks, also taken by Douglas. One was snapped with a Canon EOS D60, and the other with a Canon EOS 1Ds.
Also be on the lookout for the current issue of Nature's Best, which -- surprise! -- features both film-based and digital whale shark photos by Mr. Seifert.

The old Bimini Biological Field Station Lemon Shark PIT Tagging feature was for some reason missing week 3's journal. I've updated the coverage to include it!

The Mystery of RAW
New Feature: "The Mystery of RAW Converters: Why you can't just use one." Different RAW converters and what you might expect from each of them. Is JPG better than RAW in certain situations? Why do sunballs look so bad after RAW conversion? Note that there is a Canon slant to the article, so you Nikon folk out there might want to get your barf-bags ready.
