While the Rebel appellation hints at amateur status, the $799 price of the Canon T1i (body only; $899 with kit lens, suggested retail) seems to put it in a bit higher (price) class. This latest Canon offering blurs the line between amateur and ...

The T1i offers raw shooting and raw+(Large) JPEG options, as well as three JPEG sizes and three compression ratios of those sizes. Canon still supplies their raw reading and processing program with the camera at no extra charge. The raw files are 14 ...

The best imaging products of 2009 were voted on at the Technical Image Press Association (TIPA) General Assembly held from April 2-4, 2009 in Budapest. The editors of the 25 member photo magazines from 10 European countries met to discuss the ...

I'll leave it to the numerologists among you to decipher why Nikon has gone to a four-figure code in this latest D-SLR, but it hints at a new generation of interchangeable lens cameras that tempts the previous digicam owner to step up into a land ...

The D5000 tempts you to do more in camera processing than any camera I have yet tested. The Scene modes go beyond the usual birthday cake (party/indoors) and sports modes you find on digicams (although they are there as well) to offer tonal curve ...

Panasonic has developed an Interchangeable Lens Digital Camera (ILDC) that's not a single lens reflex model. Substantially smaller than a standard D-SLR, the 12.1-megapixel Lumix DMC-G1 is categorized as a Micro Four Thirds camera; that's only because ...

The best feature borrowed from the latest Lumix "point-and-shoot" models, Intelligent Auto is selected by setting the mode dial to iA. The camera will then evaluate the scene conditions and automatically activate six features to operate simultaneously ...

) to be the Rodney Dangerfield of the D-SLR world, there is no doubt it has enabled Olympus to produce a series of cameras that represent one of, if not, the best pixel per dollar value today. All that is combined with a build quality that on a model ...

Turning on the Image Overlay option allows the photographer to combine a raw image from the memory card with another (to be) captured image to create a multiple exposure. Images made one week, six weeks, or six months earlier can be used in a multiple ...

Attention Kmart shoppers: all of those pundits who claimed that the megapixel madness was over were wrong. It's not, and unless I'm woefully mistaken (always a possibility) I don't think the D-SLR megapixel race is going to end anytime soon, or at ...

MTM model Haley Graves was photographed in studio using three Adorama Flashpoint II monolights and various Westcott (www.fjwestcott.com) light banks and umbrellas. Photograph was made with an AF Nikkor 85mm f/1.8D lens and an exposure of 1⁄60 sec at f ...

Boasting incredibly high resolution for a 35mm-size D-SLR, the A900 features a full-frame sensor and some unique technology. Sony developed an Exmor 24x36mm CMOS chip for this camera; it's packed with 24.6 million effective pixels but they're quite ...

During extensive testing, the Sony A900 proved to be fast and reliable. It started up in a 1⁄2 sec, fired a long series of images at 5 fps, and was almost always ready to shoot another burst when I used a 300x UDMA CompactFlash card. Autofocus is fast ...

It's déjà vu all over again. As quaint as it now sounds, the Nikon N90s was the first autofocus 35mm SLR that I owned and I have many fond memories of using and capturing film images with that camera. I wrote a review of the N90s for Shutterbug's long ...

This was the first opportunity I've had with a Nikon D-SLR to see if it had any infrared capture capability, and you'll be gratified (if you care about this stuff) to learn that it has some IR capability when used with an appropriate filter. The front ...

While driving around upstate New York during the peak fall foliage season and testing the new Canon EOS 50D, I met the perfect candidate for this camera. Upon rounding a curve there sat the mother of all fall foliage trees, a sugar maple in full red ...

Choosing an AF point is also very easy-you press the AF area select button on the upper right rear of the camera and turn the control dial. You can also use the toggle to move between points and auto AF point selection. And in one playback option you ...

The primary emphasis was on D-SLRs during the photokina 2008 show, but many new digicams with integral lenses were introduced, including some inexpensive models strictly for quick snapshooting. While those may find eager buyers, I'll concentrate on ...

The super-zoom cameras (with 15x and longer lenses) are very popular among families who shoot sports and wildlife. The new 10-megapixel Olympus SP-565 UZ with 6.2x4.6mm sensor is a smaller/lighter (13.2 oz) and more affordable ($399) version of the SP ...
