Pentax K-7

Pentax K-7

By Jeff Keller

As you can see, the K-7 has some tough competition. Despite putting up 740 shots per charge, it still comes in third place!

Here you can see the K-7 with its optional D-BG4 battery grip ($229). Like the camera itself, the grip is weather-sealed against dust and moisture. This grip can hold an extra D-LI90 battery (you leave the other in the camera), giving the K-7 the ...

Nikon D3000

Nikon D3000

By Jeff Keller

As you can see, the D3000 is a pretty significant set up from the D40. It doesn't offer the rotating LCD, live view, or movie mode of the D5000, but for folks just starting out, it may be just what the doctor ordered. And the guide menu (which I'll ...

Olympus Pen E-P1

Olympus E-P1

By Jeff Keller

It's hard to draw conclusions about how the E-P1's battery life compares to other interchangeable lens cameras, since most manufacturers don't publish live view battery life numbers. The E-P1's battery life is comparable to the two Panasonic Micro ...

Other features on the E-P1 include a 12.3 Megapixel Live MOS sensor, sensor-shift image stabilization, live view on a 3-inch LCD, full manual controls, art filters (gotta have those), a digital level gauge, and a 720p movie mode. It uses a brand new ...

Nikon D5000

NIkon D5000

By Jeff Keller

As you can see, the D5000 is essentially a D90 that's been stripped down just a little. One important difference between the two is that the D5000 only supports autofocus on AF-S and AF-I lenses, just like the D60.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH1

Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH1

By Jeff Keller

The DMC-GH1's battery life numbers are about 10% lower than the G1's, though I'm not sure why. It's hard to draw much of a conclusion as to how the GH1 compares to D-SLRs with live view, since manufacturers rarely publish battery life numbers for ...

Since the cameras are so similar, large portions of my DMC-G1 review will be reused here

Nikon D90

Nikon D90

By Jeff Keller

Ladies and gentlemen, the D90 has the best battery life in its class! Since Nikon wasn't using CIPA numbers way back when the D80 was announced, I can't tell you if the D90's numbers are higher or lower than its predecessor.

Like all D-SLRs, there's no memory card in the D90's box, so you'll need to pick one up (if you don't have one already). The camera supports both SD and SDHC memory cards, and I'd recommend starting out with a 2GB card. It's definitely worth spending ...

Canon EOS 5D Mark II

Canon EOS-5D Mark II

By Jeff Keller

As you can see, the 5D Mark II has been improved significantly across the board. The only areas in which it slightly disappoints are in terms of focus points and continuous shooting performance, especially compared to the Nikon D700.

shorter battery life: around 200 shots per charge, to be exact

Olympus E-620

Olympus E-620

By Jeff Keller

Ready to learn more about the new E-620? Our preview starts right now!

If you purchase the E-620 lens kit, then you'll find the Olympus' 14 - 42 mm lens in the box. On the E-620 (and all other FourThirds cameras, for that matter), this lens has a field-of-view equivalent to 28 - 84 mm. This is a pretty nice lens, as kit ...
