2010 Camera Of The Year
It’s June of 2011 and I’m adding a little update to our 2010 Camera Of The Year article. I originally wanted to create a little suspense in the introduction but since we’re well past the end of 2010 and we now have a full review up I’ll just go ahead and say the camera is […]

Olympus has announced the E-PL2, the second generation of their entry-level E-PL Pen Micro Four Thirds camera. They sent me an E-PL2 a few days ago so I could get to know it and post a hands-on intro when it was announced. Compared to last year’s E-PL1, the Olympus E-PL2 is more of a refinement […]

The D-Lux 5 is Leica’s red-dot version of the Panasonic Lumix LX5 premium compact digital camera. In both cases it’s a 10-megapixel camera with a 3.8x Leica zoom lens, HD video and RAW capability. So why would anyone pay […]

A Nikon D7000 digital SLR showed up for review a couple weeks ago.

Read More »Sony Cybershot TX5 Waterproof Camera Review
The TX5 is Sony’s first waterproof point-and-shoot camera. Actually, I’ve been told there was a 2-megapixel model a few years ago. That makes this their first modern, rugged camera, with really useable features and resolution. The Sony Web site calls the TX5, “So rugged, it’s practically everything-proof.” It’s waterproof to 10 feet (3m), shockproof from […]

I started out writing a short piece on traveling to Mazatlan with the Olympus E-PL1 digital camera. However, that short article turned into a full review. That’s just as well since the E-PL1 and Olympus’ other Micro Four Thirds cameras deserve more attention. The Micro Four Thirds camera design eliminates the mirror and optical viewfinder […]
