Nikon D60 Review at Pocket-Lint

By

Pocket-Lint has posted a full review of the new 10.2 megapixel Nikon D60.

Because handling and ergonomics are so good and the camera is very simple to use – left on Auto, it is as simple to use as point and shoot compact – it’s sure to appeal to those wanting that bit more from their hobby than mere snaps. And it will offer a helping hand to those trading up from, say a compact camera.

Olympus E-3 Review at DP Review

By

DP Review has posted a full review of the 10 megapixel Olympus E-3 and generally praises the camera with their Highly Recommended status for the prosumer DSLR.

No camera is perfect, and whilst there are areas where the E-3 trails the competition slightly there are also other areas where it leads. And inevitably there are some types of photography it excels at, some it doesn’t: the live view, magnified manual focus and tilting screen make it a superb still life studio camera; the build quality and weather sealing make it perfect for shooting in challenging environments, be they dusty deserts or icy mountaintops.

Nikon D300 Review at Pocket-Lint

By

Pocket-Lint has posted a review of the 12.3 megapixel Nikon D300.

Noise, even at higher ISO is pretty much non-existent up to ISO 2000, beyond here noise is in there but it’s very subtle and even at the boosted ISO 4000 and 6400 settings it’s very clean indeed, in fact the best noise (or lack of noise) performance I’ve seen in a DSLR. Quite simply it is superb.

Olympus E-3 Review at Shutterbug

By

Shutterbug has posted a review of the 10 megapixel Olympus E-3.

Because of its great reliability, comprehensive feature set, and great image quality, the Olympus model should certainly appeal to the most advanced photo enthusiast. More importantly perhaps, the price is right! In fact, in the professional category, this one deserves my “Best Value” award. It’s not only the most affordable but offers excellent return on the investment, making Olympus competitive in the high-end category.

Nikon D3 Review at PhotographyBLOG

By

PhotographyBLOG has posted its review of the Nikon D3.

The Nikon D3 has got to be the top choice for anyone wanting high quality, rapid-fire image capture, or extremely low light photography without flash, who is not otherwise wedded to the Canon system. Press – sports and news – photographers are the ones who are going to get the most out of its capabilities, which stretch beyond those needed by the average photo hobbyist, and these professionals are also the ones most likely to be able to stomach that price tag without complaint.

Nikon D3 Review by Richard Costin

By

Amateur photographer Richard Costin has posted a review of the Nikon D3.

One thing that became very clear when first looking at a D3 RAW file is just how much you can push them exposure wise. The latitude available is astounding and I actually have to try to blow highlights in most situations when shooting raw. (Read more . . . )

Canon 1Ds Mark III Review at PopPhoto

By

PopPhoto has posted a camera test of the 21.1 megapixel Canon 1Ds Mark III.

Color accuracy on the 1Ds Mark III also lands in the top tier, with an Excellent rating based on an average Delta E of 6.98 (compared with 7.3 on the 1D Mark III and 7.28 on the Nikon D3, also Excellent ratings.) The color accuracy remained similarly high all the way up through ISO 1600, while resolution dropped only 15 percent when we applied full noise reduction at ISO 1600 and 3200 in Canon’s sophisticated (and included) Digital Photo Professional software.
