Nikon D90 Review at Buy-n-Shoot

By

Buy-n-Shoot has posted a review of the Nikon D90.

The D90 is a genuinely well-crafted DSLR from Nikon that covers all of the bases that a mid-range unit should, as well as providing a host of additional features and controls that are well and truly pushing the D90 towards semi-professional territory.

Pentax K-7 Reviews and Resources

By

The Pentax K-7 is a 14.6 megapixel DSLR, which features HD video capturing capabilities and a unique HDR mode, which produces one composite image from a series of 3 bracketed exposures.

The K-7 is a crop-sensor camera, which means it produces an angle of view of 1.5x the focal length of lenses as compared to a 35mm or full frame camera.  For example, a 300mm lens has the appearance of a 450mm lens as a result of the “crop factor”.

Olympus E-620 Review at Digital Camera Review

By

DCR has posted a review of the Olympus E-620.

Even in an industry where we’re used to derivative models and trickle-down technology, the E-620 impressed with just how closely its performance – from shooting speed to image quality – aligned with what we saw from the much more expensive parent model.

Panasonic Lumix ZS3 Review at Steve’s Digicams

By

Steve’s Digicams has posted a review of the Panasonic Lumix ZS3.

Our indoor image samples show the same great exposure and color, as well as a crisp image from edge to edge. ISO 400 is the first time noise appears in the image. Even then, the level is acceptable and will not be noticed in prints of 8×10 or larger.

Canon EOS Rebel T1i Review at DP Interface

By

DP Interface has posted a review of the Canon Rebel T1i.

Image quality produced by the Rebel T1i aka EOS 500D was very good with low noise, good color accuracy and detailed photos. Everything’s pretty good with just one main issue: the 15 megapixel sensor mercilessly shows flaws and softness of lower-grade lenses…
