Sony RX100 Hands-On Review

August 3, 2012 By Eric Reagan

Sony RX100

I have been using the Sony RX100 for about a week now and I have to say that it is a stunning little camera.  It packs 20MP CMOS image sensor and the fixed zoom lens provides 28-100mm equivalent zoom range with a max f/1.8 aperture.

The RX100 gives a proper use of that little 2.7x crop sensor that’s also found in the Nikon 1 Series.  And, best of all, it’s a pocketable camera. [Read more…]

Panasonic GX1 Review

May 6, 2012 By Eric Reagan

Panasonic GX1

The Panasonic Lumix GX1 is a compact Micro Four Thirds camera that features a 16MP image sensor, a 3-inch touchscreen LCD and captures 1080/60i AVCHD video.

The GX1 is one of the mirrorless cameras that really pushes the compact nature of the mirrorless format, while retaining a large image sensor.  Combined with the ultra-compact 14-42mm power zoom lens, the GX1 delivers near-DSLR performance in an almost-pocketable form factor. [Read more…]

Sony NEX-C3 Review

April 9, 2012 By Eric Reagan

Sony NEX-C3

The Sony NEX-C3 rounds out the bottom end of the NEX line; however, it’s still quite the full-featured camera.  I’ve already raved about the Sony NEX-5n (aside from a now-fixed problem with the audio capture in movie mode).  The NEX-C3 is just as impressive of a camera to me. [Read more…]

Nikon Coolpix P7100 Review

November 10, 2011 By Eric Reagan

Nikon P7100

The Nikon P7100 is the latest prosumer compact in the Coolpix lineup.  When I reviewed the Nikon P7000 earlier this year, my biggest complaint was the speed of the camera in terms of shot-to-shot raw image capture and navigation of the menu system.  Nikon has clearly addressed those concerns in the P7100 model, allowing the camera to compete on level ground with Canon’s G12 and other prosumer compact cameras.

Sony NEX-5N Review

October 18, 2011 By Eric Reagan

Sony NEX-5N

The Sony NEX-5N is part of Sony’s second go-round at the mirrorless camera format. The NEX-3 and NEX-5 were largely regarded as a success – and for the most part the NEX-C3 and NEX-5N models which followed on a year later have been held with similar regard.

What you need to know up front is that the Sony NEX-5N is not a perfect camera.  It’s a solid (bordering on excellent) offering from Sony; however, it has some niggling problems and concerns that take some of the luster off of it.  (Update 11/9/11:  The core defect appears to have been fixed. See details below.) [Read more…]

‘Market Square’ on the Olympus E-P3

August 22, 2011 By Eric Reagan

Above is a short video that Nick and I shot using a pair of Olympus E-P3 cameras.  Nothing fancy in terms of lenses, filters, matte box or follow focus.  We just wanted to see what kind of footage we could get out of them straight out of the box. [Read more…]

Panasonic ZS10 Quick Review

August 15, 2011 By Eric Reagan

Panasonic ZS10

The Panasonic ZS10 is a 14.1MP camera with a rather 16x optical zoom (21x if you count Panasonic’s “Intelligent Zoom” as a feature) in a rather compact offering.  The ZS10 also features Panasonic’s signature Power O.I.S. Image Stabilization, which is quite necessary for such a long zoom reach. [Read more…]

Olympus E-P3 First Impressions Review

August 6, 2011 By Eric Reagan

Olympus E-P3

The Olympus E-P3 is the third model in the flagship Micro Four Thirds lineup known as PEN cameras, which got started with the E-P1.  I’ve been using the Olympus E-P3 for a couple of days now and wanted to give you some of my initial thoughts on the new camera and why it’s the best PEN yet.

Nikon D5100 Review

July 18, 2011 By Eric Reagan

The Nikon D5100 is a 16.2-megapixel DSLR that also has the ability to capture 1080p HD video.  It resides in Nikon’s line-up between the base-model D3100 and the advanced amateur D7000. [Read more…]
