Nikon Press Event Bumped to November 20

By

After a bit of confusion about who will see what and when, Kamera & Bild seems to have sorted things out and confirmed that Nikon’s press conference will be a worldwide event that takes place on November 20 (rather than October 22).  Kamera & Bild’s guesswork translates as follows:

Why the date of the press conference changed, we have not been told. Perhaps the product has been delayed, or the Nikon in Denmark had the time wrong.

Note, however, that the November 20 date, which is a Thursday, appears to be a solid, confirmed date.

Keep your eyes peeled for the Nikon MX format and/or Nikon D3x.

 

Nikon D90 Review at Digital Camera Info

By

Digital Camera Info has published a review of the Nikon D90.

Setting video aside, though, there’s an awful lot to like about this camera, from its fast burst mode to its fine low-light performance for flash-free photos and a Live View mode that’s still not perfect, but does prove comfortable and convenient in certain shooting situations.

Canon 18-200mm IS Lens Review at DP Review

By

DP Review has posted a review of the new Canon 18-200mm IS lens, which we’ve all be waiting to hear more about.  Unsurprisingly, it didn’t receive the coveted “Highly Recommended” badge from DP Review.  The reviewers were only able to “Recommend” the lens with reservations, noting that it’s “a general purpose solution which allows the photographer not to worry about fiddling around changing lenses when out traveling, but which makes inevitable optical compromises to achieve this goal.”

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T300 Review at Imaging Resource

By

Imaging Resource has published an “Express Review” of the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T300.

Thanks to the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T300’s ease of use, intuitive design, and capable performance, I had a pleasant experience with the camera. The camera handles most normal shooting conditions well, and options like Smile Shutter, Face Detection, and its multiple focus modes help the Sony T300 cope with more difficult situations.
