As mentioned, Popular Photography published its list of Editor’s Choices for 2007. For imaging software Adobe Lightroom wins as Imaging Software of the Year. A pretty impressive title considering the short time Lightroom has been on the shelves.

For the Mac world, Aperture still rules as top dog.

Top entry level SLR kudos go to the Sony Alpha 100. Sony’s first SLR after aquiring the assets of Konica-Minolta stays as the choice of the year again. It also garnered this award in 2006 right after it’s debut. Even though my little beauty the Rebel XTi isn’t numero uno, it’s still amusing to think that cameras this powerful are considered entry level.

The advanced DSLR category sees the Pentax K10D at the top of the list. Both the Sony A100 and the K10D have built in shake reduction.

Considering the offerings of both Canon and Nikon, we are looking at some pretty impressive camera technology. And as we hear rumors of new cameras on the horizon and software updates, it looks like the rest of the year is going to be just as impressive. Christmas could bring more cameras at lower prices, fitted with even more powerful lenses than we had ever hoped for.

Get’s you all excited just thinking about it, doesn’t it?

The Editor’s Choice also showcases lenses, tripods, camera cellphones, fine art printers, ultrathing compact cameras and more.
