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.
Stay tuned to Photography Bay’s Nikon D3X Reviews and Resources for the latest.
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…]

The State of Texas has just lit up Broadway Photo and Starlight Camera & Video (aka everyprice.com) for their unlawful bait and switch tactics. Broadway Photo, among others, has long been the bane of consumers who have been unfortunate enough to order a “too good to be true” deal from them only to get suckered into buying an overpriced battery, memory card or some other scam during a “confirmation call”.
If you’ve never had the misfortune of dealing with Broadway Photo, check out Reseller Ratings’ user reviews of them. And here’s the Reseller Ratings for Starlight Camera & Video.
Granted this is just the beginning of the lawsuit; however, it would be nice to see some of these scam shops shut down.
Check out the actual pleadings and the Texas Attorney General’s press release below. [Read more…]
Trusted Reviews has posted a review of the Nikon D90.
It has the creative versatility, performance and quality to appeal to semi-professionals and advanced hobbyists, while the scene modes, live view and the video mode will appeal to gadget lovers and the more casual user who wants a good all-rounder.

Megapixel.net has posted a review of the Nikon D60.
What’s nice about the D60 is that Nikon didn’t change things about the D40 that worked. The same solid construction is here. The economy of design and outstanding ergonomics are still here, too.
