Nikon Coolpix AW100 Rugged Camera – First Impressions
A couple of months ago Nikon announced their first rugged, waterproof point-and-shoot camera, the Coolpix AW100. I got my first close look at the AW100 this last week at the annual PhotoPlus Expo in New York City. They had a cool display at their booth with three AW100s mounted on a mountain bike. The camera […]
Read More »Canon EOS-1D X – First Impressions
The Canon EOS-1D X is the first full-frame digital SLR to be introduced since the Nikon D3s, exactly two years ago. The 1D X was announced two weeks ago but very few people actually got to see it in person so I was psyched to go to the PhotoPlus Expo and a Canon intro event […]
Read More »Hands-On With The Sony NEX-C3
The Sony NEX compact mirrorless camera system is one of the more exciting things to happen to camera technology in the past couple of years and it demonstrates Sony’s commitment to innovative camera design. Even though it looks more like a point-and-shoot camera than a digital SLR, Sony’s $650 entry-level NEX-C3 uses the same large […]
Read More »Hands-On With The Fujifilm X10
Sometimes a thing is more than the sum of its parts. That appears to be the case with the new Fujifilm X10 compact camera. The X10 was patterned after Fujifilm’s super popular X100 fixed lens digital rangefinder. It has similar retro styling but with a more consumer-friendly 4x zoom lens and a smaller body. The […]
Read More »Nikon J1 Hands-On Preview – Action!
Nikon sent me their new J1 compact interchangeable lens camera about a week ago. I shot a ton with it over the weekend and, since it’s new, I decided to hustle out a short “first look” article. The Nikon J1 is about the size of a pocket superzoom camera if you leave the lens off. […]
Read More »Nikon D3100 Review
The Nikon D3100 is one of the hottest digital SLRs on the market right now. The great price (under $600 with a lens), plenty of features, excellent image quality and access to Nikon’s excellent lenses make it a no-brainer for first time digital SLR buyers or even serious photographers on a budget. The D3100 has […]
Read More »Nikon D3100 – Studio Sample Photos
Below, you’ll find high-resolution studio sample photos taken with the Nikon D3100, a 14-megapixel entry-level digital SLR. Test photos were shot RAW in aperture priority at f/8 across the D3100′s full sensitivity range – ISO 200 through ISO 3200 – plus the expanded settings – ISO 100, 6400 and 12,800. The test photos were converted […]
Read More »Panasonic Lumix ZS10 Review
The Panasonic Lumix ZS10 is what I call a pocket superzoom camera – it fits in your pocket and it’s got a ton of zoom – a 16x 24-384mm image-stabilized Leica zoom lens, to be exact. That’s a crazy amount of lens reach – especially for a camera that fits in the pocket of your […]
Read More »Olympus E-P3 Studio Sample Photos
High-resolution studio sample photos taken with the 12-megapixel Olympus E-P3 Pen Micro Four Thirds interchangeable lens camera. These tests were shot RAW in aperture priority on a tripod in the PhotographyREVIEW.com studio at ISO 200 through ISO 12,800. They were converted without adjustment to TIFF files with Lightroom 3. The logo, text and graybar were […]
Read More »My Dream Date With The Leica M9
The Leica M9 is a manual focus, 18-megapixel full-frame digital rangefinder camera. Other than the digital sensor, it’s pretty much the exact opposite of what most photographers are using now. That said, the Leica M-rangefinder’s simple, German design and rich history are an aphrodisiac for pretty much every experienced photographer I’ve ever known. I’ve […]
Read More »Canon EOS 600D – Featured User Review
With an excellent feature-set and a very friendly price, the Canon EOS Rebel 600D (called the EOS Rebel T3i in the US) has been one of the most popular and best-selling cameras in 2011. So I was happy to see this fine user review by community member Anthony Reiss. It gives me a chance to […]
Read More »Sony Alpha DSLR Guide
Sony was a latecomer to digital SLRs. But don’t let that fool you into thinking they don’t have game. About six years ago they bought all of Konica-Minolta’s digital SLR patents and a few months later they released their digital SLR, the Sony Alpha A100. There was a lot of skepticism about Sony’s ability to […]
Read More »Olympus E-P3 Pen Super Compact Travel Kit
Traveling with photography equipment is always tricky. Either you sacrifice comfort and convenience for quality or you sacrifice quality and versatility for convenience. International travel with multiple plane changes is even trickier. In the past I’ve traveled with a suitcase, a laptop shoulder bag and a 30-pound camera backpack. If you end up on a […]
Read More »Olympus E-PM1 Pen Camera – First Look
On the eve of Olympus announcing the launch of a new camera in the PEN series, I was given the opportunity to try it out. I and a group of testers were taken behind the scenes at Arthur Ashe Stadium in Flushing Meadows-Corona Park, Queens, NY to put the camera through its paces shooting top-tier […]
Read More »Pentax K-5 DSLR – Featured User Review
We’re a little behind on Pentax DSLR reviews. It’s been hard to get digital SLRs for review from Pentax, and let’s be honest – they probably have the smallest digital SLR market share right now. But that doesn’t mean their cameras are no good or that we aren’t interested. When we reviewed the Pentax K10D […]
