Sony Alpha NEX-6 Review
In October Sony invited me to attend a camera event in Monterey, California where I got to spend a few days with some of their hottest new cameras. One of those was the 16-megapixel NEX-6, Sony’s latest interchangeable lens mirrorless camera. The NEX-6 was introduced in September at the biennial Photokina tradeshow in Germany. It’s […]

I got to use the Sony Alpha A99 camera for three days during a Sony cameras press event a few weeks ago in California. I really, really liked it and was very sad when I had to return it. I’ve used a few full-frame cameras this year but the A99 stands out in my mind […]

Just before Thanksgiving I got Jeff McGrath, a.k.a. “Youtah,” to bring his Nikon D800 over to HQ so we could shoot some studio tests. In case you’re one of the five people who don’t know, the D800 is a 36-megapixel full-frame DSLR – a medium format digital camera challenger, if you will. It has the […]
Read More »Sony Alpha A99 Featured User Review
Sony is one of the most progressive camera manufacturers at the moment and their Alpha SLT-A99 is the most innovative full-frame DSLR on the market. It has an electronic viewfinder, built-in sensor-shift image stabilization, excellent auto focus for stills and video, and a great 24-megapixel full-frame CMOS sensor. PhotographyREVIEW.com member Greg McCary is a great […]
Read More »Olympus E-PL5 Studio Sample Photos
The Olympus E-PL5 is the latest mid-range interchangeable lens Pen camera in Olympus’s Micro Four Thirds mirrorless camera line. What makes the E-PL5 different from previous Olympus Pen cameras is it uses the same 16-megapixel sensor as the OM-D E-M5, arguably the best mirrorless camera available right now. That sensor really broke ground for the […]
Read More »Olympus E-PL5 Pen Unboxing & Video Intro
The E-PL5 is Olympus’s latest Pen-Series compact system camera. The size and exterior design are pretty comparable with its predecessor, the E-PL3. However, the performance has taken a big leap thanks to the camera’s 16-megapixel sensor – the same sensor that’s used in Olympus’s popular, class-leading OM-D E-M5 mirrorless camera. Thanks to the OM-D sensor […]
Read More »Best Digital Cameras Under $200
We spend a lot of our time here at PhotographyREVIEW.com fantasizing about cameras that weigh ten pounds and cost thousands of dollars. But not everyone needs or even wants the latest Canikon Super-Pro 500X-S Extra-Full-Frame DSLR (yeah, I made that camera up), or the second mortgage required to buy one. Maybe you just want a […]
Read More »Sony RX1 – First Impressions Review
Last week I had a very exclusive opportunity to shoot with Sony’s new RX1 high-end compact camera. It’s hard to put the Sony RX1 camera in perspective. It’s a $2800 compact camera with a super-sharp fixed 35mm f/2.0 Carl Zeiss lens and a fantastic 24-megapixel full-frame sensor that delivers excellent image quality up as high […]

Last week I attended a Sony event where I got to spend some time testing their new high-end camera equipment, including the new A99 full-frame professional digital SLR. They set up a great event and over about four days with the camera, I got to shoot professional models, San Francisco city photos, action, outdoor/landscape, travel […]

We finally got a Canon EOS-1D X in for review and the studio sample photos are all available below. The 1D X is Canon’s long-awaited (it was announced almost a year ago) flagship digital SLR. It’s an 18-megapixel full-frame camera with native sensitivity to ISO 204,800 (expanded). Until now, Canon has had two EOS-1D camera […]
Read More »Sony RX100 Studio Sample Photos
With a big 1-inch, 20.2-megapixel CMOS sensor and a bright f/1.8 lens, the pocket-sized Sony RX100 is the hottest point-and-shoot camera on the market right now. Correction – it’s one of the hottest cameras, period. I borrowed one from my friend Adam Lisonbee, a.k.a., Grizzly Adam, so I could shoot some studio tests and get […]

The Canon EOS 5D Mark III full frame DSLR is one of the most important and popular new professional cameras of 2012 so I was pleased to get Jeremy Hall, a longtime 5D MK II user, to write a review for his new 5D Mk III. Jeremy’s is our first user review for the 5D […]
Read More »Canon PowerShot D20 Waterproof Camera Studio Sample Photos
I haven’t been able to do much with the Canon PowerShot D20 rugged, waterproof camera yet. But looking at the studio samples has me thinking I’m going to need to re-evaluate the camera recommendations in my 2012 Outdoor & Waterproof Camera Guide. A quick comparison with my current top waterproof camera pick, the Olympus Tough […]
Read More »Nikon D4 Hands-On Video
Sadly, I had to return the wonderful Nikon D4 digital SLR a few weeks ago. The D4 is a $5900 16-megapixel FX-format (full-frame) digital SLR designed for photojournalists and professional sports and events photographers. It can record full HD video, the auto focus performance is excellent, and it shoots high-res still photos as fast as […]
Read More »Fujifilm X-Pro1 – Featured User Review
The Fujifilm X-Pro1 is one of the most exciting cameras of 2012. It’s a high-end, interchangeable lens digital rangefinder with auto focus, a cool hybrid viewfinder and a unique 16-megapixel APS-C CMOS sensor. Normally, I spot a useful and well-written review for a popular camera or lens and then highlight it by making it a […]
