Kyocera's Contax N1 system is a beautifully made combination of ultrasophisticated 35mm camera engineering and heavy results-oriented Zeiss lens designs. As in the Canon EOS system, all communication between body and lens is electronic. Each lens contains...

As of 2001, the EOS-1V is the top-of-the-line film body in the Canon EOS system. This is probably the world's best film camera for sports photography because it combines an intelligent 45-point autofocus system with a 10 frames-per-second exposure rate. I...

A significant upgrade from the N60 in every respect except the built-in flash. It's worth it just for the easy bracketing, increased compatibility with newer Nikon Speedlights, and dof preview. Its small size and light weight make it a great all-the-time...

The Nikon N80 is all the camera that 99 percent of people need, 99 percent of the time. It has an accurate 5-sensor autofocus system, 10-sensor matrix metering, spot metering, a dedicated depth of field preview button, autofocus start that can be moved fr...

I've been toying with the idea of an FA for my girlfriend (who likes manual focus, but I know would be happier with matrix aperture-priority). It goes without saying that I would be comforted by a light weight, fallback-to-mechanical body that can do matr...

if you don't have a very specialized requirement, Nikon's lower line cameras, e.g., N90, 8008, are much better user machines.

The FE2 has become a modern classic. Secondhand ones in nice shape cost as much or more today as they did when new.

I will devote the first part of this review to considering the Contax G2 AF rangefinder system on its own merits. Then, I will take the more dangerous path and will compare it to Leica and SLR systems.

I have small hands, so the AX feels like a big package to me. The most particular difference is that the camera is thick from front to back.

This is my second-favorite Maxxum, and if it had an adjustable diopter and a vertical grip, I'd seriously consider making it my primary body, and adding flash compensation would likely push me over the edge. I'd keep my 600si for some things, like tripod,...
