Digital Camera News, Reviews and Tips
PhotographyBLOG has posted a review of the Pentax K-m / K2000.
The new Pentax K-m is another excellent addition to Pentax’s DSLR range. Seamlessly slotting in below the K200D, it offers a simpler and more intuitive layout that will suit beginners better.
For the latest news and reviews on this camera, stay tuned to Photography Bay’s Pentax K2000 Reviews and Resources.
Ryan Brenizer has posted a review of the Panasonic Lumix LX3.
Since the LX3 starts at ISO 80 and can easily sync with flashes at 1/2000th of a second, it’s almost 20 times as effective as my $5,000 D3 at canceling out ambient light.
Studio Impressions Blog has posted a short hands-on account of time spent with a pre-production Nikon D3X along with some JPEG sample images.
Even though the camera was a pre-production model I was extremely impressed with both the camera and lens. As you will see with the images I have posted the clarity, sharpness, dynamic range is exceptional.

Digital Camera Review has posted a review of the Canon PowerShot A1000 IS.
After using both the A1000 and the A2000, I’m impressed with their efficacy as image-makers, but I miss the better responsiveness, control, and creative potential of the older A series models.

Nikon has officially announced the Nikon D3X, a 24.5 megapixel DSLR. Nikon is now upped the ante for Canon, which just launched its 21.1 megapixel 5D Mark II. Canon’s flagship DSLR also sports a “mere” 21.1 megapixels and is now playing third fiddle to the Nikon D3X and the Sony A900. Oh yeah, the D3X will run you about $8,000.
Full details on the D3X can be found in the press release below. Expect more news, reviews and other info on the Nikon D3X in the coming days. Stay tuned to Photography Bay’s Nikon D3X Reviews and Resources for the latest. [Read more…]
