Leica M9

Leica M9

By Dan Havlik

Leica's new full-frame digital rangefinder is a quality extravagance.

Though the phrase "critic proof" is often used in the pejorative-i.e. a movie which despite an avalanche of bad reviews still draws a big box office-I think it's a fairly positive way to describe the new 18-megapixel Leica M9. This latest digital ...

Nikon Coolpix S1000pj

Though it's hard to come up with any real professional photography applications for the S1000pj, it could be the sort of technological breakthrough that's only fully appreciated further down the line, or maybe not.

Sigma DP2

Sigma DP2

By Dan Havlik

Image sensor size isn't the only thing that matters.

The DP2 looks the same as its predecessor and has some of the same pluses and minuses

Hasselblad HTS 1.5

Hasselblad HTS 1.5

By Dan Havlik

Hasselblad's inventive tilt shift lens adapter proves that what's old can be made new again.

The HTS 1.5 tilt-shift adapter is compatible with five of Hasselblad's recent lenses. The trade-off to this flexibility is that it magnifies whatever lens you're using by 1.5x and reduces the aperture by 1.3 stops

Ray Flash

If you like that distinctive, three-dimensional shadow wrap in your portraits generated by a ring flash but don't necessarily want to carry around a cumbersome and expensive ring flash all the time, maybe it's time to switch to Ray Flash.

Ray Flash is an adapter that fits right over the head of your hot shoe flash and is designed to mimic the lighting effect from a traditional ring flash. From a distance, Ray Flash actually looks quite a bit like a ring flash as well

Leica D-Lux 4

Pretty much a complete reimagining of the D-LUX 3, the new 10-megapixel Leica D-Lux 4 includes a raft of quality upgrades from the previous model.

The best part about this new pocket shooter could be its range of accessories though including an optical viewfinder ($350) with a 24mm brightline frame which attaches to the hotshoe; a small external CF-22 flash unit ($350); and an attachable ...

Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX3

Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX3 Review

By Mark Goldstein

Get a detailed review on the new Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX3 from guest contributor, Mark Goldstein.

The Panasonic DMC-LX3 is a fairly compact camera. The overall design is dominated by the lens on the front and the large 3-inch LCD screen on the rear. The built-in flash is particularly neat-it pops up out of the top of the body when you open it, and ...

Fujifilm FinePix F100fd

Fujifilm FinePix F100fd Review

By Mark Goldstein

Find out if this new model in the popular F-Series will be your next purchase...

The Fujifilm Finepix F100fd is a fairly compact digital camera that fits into both the palm of your hand and a trouser pocket. The F100fd is only a little larger than the older F50fd model, despite the very welcome move to a 5x zoom lens. The Fujifilm ...
