August 23, 2007 was a very good day for Nikon fans. For those who held onto their Nikon gear while others defected to other brands, their day had come. Though Nikon had long since re-established its prominence in the digital SLR market, the ...

The full-frame digital SLR megapixel race has a new champion: the 21.1-megapixel Canon EOS 1Ds Mark III. In this case, the only other contender in the race is Canon's own 16.7-megapixel 1Ds Mark II. While most serious photographers don't need more ...

Nikon's further reinforced their digital SLR battle strategy with the 10 megapixel Nikon D40x, a fine digital SLR that's family friendly. We actually thought the jump from 6 to 10 megapixels might introduce a flaw or two, but we found that the image ...
