Digital Camera News, Reviews and Tips
Luminous Landscape has posted a review of the Sony A900.
For those without major lens commitments to other brands the Sony A900 offers tremendous value for the money. In almost every objective test criteria measured on DxOMark the A900 comes in in the top two or three, and in many categories does so against camera either costing twice as much or offering half the resolution.

Trusted Reviews has published a hands-on preview of the Nikon D3x.
The viewfinder is very bright and clear – essential for studio work – and focusing in low-light was quick and accurate, although on occasion it did get a little confused in gloomy, low-contrast scenes – hardly unusual for any DSLR, professional or not. However, overall, it feels superbly solid and totally up to the job.

Adorama AIRC Learning Center has posted a review of the Canon PowerShot G10.
. . . . if the ultimate in image quality and image control is what rings your chimes, the G10 takes top honors—it’s simply the best in its class.

Cameras.co.uk has posted a review of the Panasonic DMC-FX37.
It is rare that I end up disappointed with a digital camera from Panasonic. That is the case with the DMC FX37. Although I like the features the camera offers I just couldn’t get a decent set of photos with my test shots.
NeoCamera has posted a review of the Canon Powershot SD880 IS.
The Canon Powershot SD880 IS is a digital camera that gets a lot of things right. Speed of operation is great and so are ergonomics with one minor exception, the lack of a hand-gripping surface on the front.
Cameras.co.uk has posted a review of the Olympus FE-370.
I have few complaints about the Olympus FE-370. If you are looking for a reasonably priced, compact digital camera this one is well worth considering.
The big announcement from RED that’s supposed to be groundbreaking and make the Nov. 13 announcement “insignificant” turns out to be a revamp of the EPIC and Scarlet specs. [Read more…]

It looks like both Ritz (at least the kit w/ 24-105mm lens has) and Adorama have begun to ship the Canon 5D Mark II. Unless you got on the pre-order boat early, you may have to wait a bit more for the next shipment or so to come in.
Again, for those still shopping, the Canon 5D Mark II is available (depending on supply) from the following trusted vendors:
Canon 5D Mark II (body only) – Ritz Camera
Canon 5D Mark II (body only) – Amazon.com
Canon 5D Mark II w/ 24-105mm L lens – Amazon.com
Canon 5D Mark II (body only) – Adorama
Canon 5D Mark II w/ 24-105mm L lens – Adorama
Just hours after the Nikon D3X was announced a number of online retailers offered buyers the opportunity to pre-order the camera. Unlike the Canon 5D Mark II, the Nikon D3X will be available shortly after the announcement. Mid-December is what I’m hearing for shipping dates. So, it’s possible that you could have your D3X by Christmas.
Here are the pre-order links for the Nikon D3X:
