I just got the Sony Alpha 100 and I'm fairly pleased with the first results.  Here are a few test shots. They're up on flickr, so if you want to see a larger version, just click on the picture.

The Washington Post ran an article about a blogger discovering the use of a doctored photograph on Reuters of an Israeli attack on Beirut.  Awhile back I wrote a blog entry regarding digital forensics so I performed a search to see what's new in the field.  I ran across an interesting site at Columbia.edu for TrustFoto which has an online demo where you can submit a URL of an image or upload your own to test.   I tried two photos, one from Google images of Yosemite, which returned  a 75% confidence factor, and one of myself where I had created a featured border which returned 30% confidence factor. 

I'd really like to see a FireFox plugin that will test images as they are displayed, indicating the trustworthiness of an image where you set a threshold level to alert you when an image has been highly altered, perhaps even highlighting the suspect regions, but then again, maybe I don't want my illusions shattered the next time I view a photo of a super model and see a big red border around her ankles and waist.
