The Canon PowerShot A490 is the company’s cheapest new camera, followed closely by the $129 A495. Do these cameras’ low prices automatically make them junk?
What happens when Gizmodo readers capture action at 3-5fps? Why, the results of this week’s Shooting Challenge: Action Sequence Photography. Read on for the winners.
“Shot in my New England backyard during the lull in a snowstorm on February 26, 2010.”

Lens: Canon EF 70-200 f/2.8L IS USM
ISO: 3200
Focal Point: 73mm
Aperture: f/7.1
Shutter: 1/4000
[Ed note: Loved the juxtaposition of the soft yet miserable environment and a young, undeterred athlete.]
- Ron Miles
“I have shot this series in Engelberg Switzerland on Jochpass on an awesome day. I have used a Canon EOS 50D with a 17-85mm lens.”
Exposure Time 1/4000
ISO 100
Exposure bias +2 steps

[Ed note: The epic jump, mixed with the sun that blinds us to the full scope of the scene—my eye kept coming back.]
- Simon Sharp
“I was directly below the snowboarder, standing behind the jump ramp. All photos taken with Nikon D2x with Nikkor 10.5mm fisheye lens. I didn’t use any tripod, it was all hand held. Aperture was around f/6.3 and shutter speed around 1/1000sec. No flash Photos are then merged together in Photoshop cs4.”
[Ed note: It's just an awesome shot that required an element of risk, capturing a classic sports action sequence from an immersive perspective.]

Truly fantastic entries this week. Thanks to everyone who entered.
Just a note to commenters: Please, please, sing praises for your favorites. There are so many great shots here, and it’s flat-out unfair for them not to be recognized. But there’s absolutely no reason to put down anyone’s work from the cheap seats. We will ban accordingly.
99.99% of our photography falls within a certain acceptable range of exposure—one filled with color and detail. Last week’s Shooting Challenge was dedicated to the rare .01% that’s blinded by the light. The resulting shots are incredible.
I shot most of the photo with the exposure I wanted, but used photoshop to up the exposure, gamma correction, noise reduction and unsharp mask.
Lens: Nikon AF-S Nikkor 18-200mm VR
ISO: 200
Shutter: 1/200
Aperture: F13
Focal Length: 50mm
[Ed note: I have a feeling that the larger you can look at this, the more you can appreciate the gradient of detail and the more striking it would be. Imagine a wall-sized print.]
-Jason Bolt
Camera: Canon Eos 40d
Lens: Canon 24-70 2.8L USM
ISO: 100
Focal Length: 52mm
Aperture: f2.8
Shutter Speed: 1/1000
[Ed note: I was just struck by the simple, clever play of black and white.]

Michelangelo´s “Creation of Men” inspired me to this “Adam´s sight of view”.
I shot “Gods hand” with my Canon Eos 500D and the Canon 18-55mm lens.Also used a tripod and a remote trigger. 1/4 sec. Iso 800, into the sunlight. No software adjustments except for crop and resize.
[Ed note: My mind just kept coming back to this one.]
