The big story with the Canon EOS 1D Mark III is that it's a better, more universally appealing professional camera for more types of professional photographers. I think a lot of intermediate photographers may want to make the jump as well, given its ...

The Canon EOS 1D Mark III isn't just for sports anymore. It's a more universal camera for the vast majority of pro photographers. With the multiple improvements in the new camera, photographers will no longer need to trade off resolution, image ...

As with the original D2X, the Nikon D2xs is a professional digital SLR that features a 12.4 megapixel CMOS sensor, and offers five frames per second shooting plus the ability to shoot even faster - up to eight frames per second - by switching to a ...

If you've been sitting on the sidelines, waiting until you could afford a real Nikon DSLR, your time have come at last: While geared for the entry-level market the D40 packs enough features into its diminutive frame to keep serious enthusiasts ...

With the introduction of the D40, Nikon has outmaneuvered everyone. They've produced a small, light, high quality digital camera that gives the consumer everything they need and more, at a price that's hard to resist

The Pentax K100D, along with its sibling the K110D, are the company's first DSLR models to forgo the rather confusing "*istD" branding. Both share an identical (newly developed) body and feature set, with the exception of an anti-shake mechanism - ...

The Pentax K100D stores images on optional Secure Digital or MultiMediaCards, in either Raw (uncompressed) or JPEG (compressed) formats. Connectivity includes both NTSC / PAL switchable video output and a USB 2.0 Hi-Speed computer link, as well as a ...

Excellent 10.1 megapixel sensor with impressively low noise and superb detail ; Small size is great for travel and all-day carry ; High ISO shots are surprisingly good, easily useable at 8x10 ; Dust removal technology largely eliminates sensor ...

Kit lens is not quite matched to the camera's higher resolution ; New interface has a few odd inconsistencies ; AF assist lamp only works in flash-on mode, making available light photography more difficult (somewhat offset by the improved AF sensor) ; ...

Though it was still the hottest selling digital SLR on the market, the Canon Digital Rebel XT was due for an upgrade, and right on the expected 18 month schedule comes the EOS Digital Rebel XTi (called the EOS 400D overseas). The new Rebel XTi has a ...

Sony, one of the first to come out with digital camera prototypes back when they were just an idea, has finally thrown its hat into the ring with the big boys. Their first SLR is from a collaboration with Konica Minolta that leverages on that company ...

High resolution sensor, loads of detail, In-camera sharpening does a nice job of delivering crisp images with no sharpening artifacts, Good color accuracy, Very good image quality, Built-in, body-based SteadyShot anti-shake system works well (about 2 ...

Combination of Wide AF and Multi-Segment Metering produces exposure variations, particularly with high-contrast subjects, Minor (~1/3 EV) random exposure variation may be associated with the kit lens, Significant image noise at ISO 800 and 1600, Long ...

At first it was a little odd seeing the Sony logo across the front of a camera I immediately perceived as a Konica Minolta Maxxum 5D. It brought to mind Honda's first SUV, the Honda Passport, which I kept seeing as the then established Isuzu Rodeo. ...

The new Nikon D80's combination of high-end features and its 18-135mm DX kit lens make a killer photographic tool for the amateur and intermediate photographer who can't afford or justify the extra cost of the Nikon D200

Since the D80 borrows so much of its features and user interface from the D200, most of what we liked about the D200 applies to the D80 as well. Hence, many of the items below are the same as for the D200 ; Good build quality, very solid feel in the ...

Flash X-Sync speed reduced to 1/200 second, Contrast adjustment has limited range, needs to go further in the low-contrast direction, Lack of Group Dynamic function (as on D200) can make it harder to acquire active subjects., No non-CPU lens menu as ...

Exceptional build quality, very rugged chassis with full environmental sealing ; Excellent resolution (but only a modest step up from 8 megapixels) ; Essentially zero sharpening artifacts, images take post-processing unusually well ; Supports Nikon ...

Strong anti-aliasing filter and very conservative in-camera sharpening makes for soft images straight from the camera ; In-camera sharpening produces sharpening artifacts when it's increased enough to produce sharper-looking JPEGs ; High-ISO ...

In our testing and evaluation of it, the Nikon D200 consistently impressed us with its ruggedness (including full environmental seals, a first on a camera selling for less than $4,000), excellent user interface, exceptional feature set, and sure ...

The Canon EOS-30D is the latest in Canon's broad line of digital SLR models, but it is more evolutionary than revolutionary, keeping most of what was excellent about its predecessor, the EOS 20D. Canon says they listened to feedback from 20D customers ...

Numerous tweaks, user-interface, and functional improvements over EOS-20D, Excellent resolution, in-camera sharpening seems to have been tweaked slightly, Excellent color, very slightly more saturated than that of the 20D in its default mode (some ...

No revolutionary changes, probably not worth the money as an upgrade for current 20D owners, Strong reds still get a bit oversaturated, Auto white balance is only average, camera has a hard time with strongly-colored light sources (miserable color ...

Full-frame sensor gives 1:1 crop factor, true wide angle with 35mm lenses, Very compact and relatively lightweight for a full-frame d-SLR, Dramatically less expensive than the only other full-frame d-SLR currently on the market, Canon's own 1Ds Mark ...

Full-frame, high resolution sensor is very demanding of lenses, even high-end lenses can have trouble in the corners (Plan on spending serious $$ on lenses to keep up with this body!), Color is generally good, but reds are significantly oversaturated, ...
