Nikon's full-frame camera aims at the 'Canonistas' 2008-01-23 13:35:00 For many professional photographers, their camera is a friend, a trusted companion and colleague. When an important story hinges on the functioning of their "partner," they want a product that is, above all, trustworthy.As a result, photographers are often loyal to their chosen brand. Even if a shooter doesn't care for the ongoing Canon vs. Nikon rivalry — a conflict between fans of the two leading manufacturers of single-lens reflex (SLR) cameras that is akin to the zealous debates over the virtues of Mac and Windows — changing allegiances is tricky once you're used to the ergonomics of a certain brand and using its software, batteries and lenses.This is all about to get much more complicated. Nikon is trying to up the stakes with the launch of its new D3 camera, believing that loyal "Canonistas" will suddenly want to pick up Nikon's ambitious new product in place of its direct competitor, Canon's EOS-1DS Mark III.Nikon's literature boasts, "with the fastest startup time, sho ...

Fujifilm S5 Pro digital SLR camera - Review 2008-01-23 13:22:00 Based on the body of Nikon's D200, which means it accepts a wide range of compatible lenses, the 12Mp Fujifilm S5 Pro is Fuji's only digital SLR camera.The Fujifilm S5 Pro upgrades the S3 model – there was no S4 – and is again aimed squarely at those who specialise in portraits and landscapes.The re-designed Super CCD SR Pro sensor at the Fujifilm S5 Pro's heart boasts unique properties. The honeycomb layout is split into six million larger 'S' diodes, which capture most of the light, and a further six million 'R' diodes, which capture 'bright area' information – for example, fine detail on an all-white dress that would be in danger of 'burning out'.You can also control dynamic range with six incremental settings, plus there are shooting modes that vividly ape the colour-rich qualities of Fuji roll film.Among the Fujifilm S5 Pro's effective improvements is a new filter to reduce image noise in low light without flash, with light sensitivity up to ISO3200, plus an inte ...

Sigma SD14 digital SLR camera - Review 2008-01-23 13:21:00 The Sigma SD14 is a fast and responsive digital SLR camera with a rugged build and intuitive uncluttered control layout.Acclaimed third-party lens and accessory manufacturer Sigma has bravely – but hitherto not totally successfully – attempted to cut out the middleman and launch its own series of digital SLRs, boasting a unique Foveon sensor with a three-layered pixel configuration – one layer each for red, green and blue light.Sigma claims that while conventional CCD or CMOS sensors are good at detecting the intensity of light, they miss a lot of colour information.The Sigma SD14 - Sigma's third attempt at a digital SLR - now comes with a Foveon X3 chip and according to Sigma delivers results equivalent to a 14Mp model.Image quality is, of course, about more than pixels. The Sigma SD14 then has other features including a removable dust protector, light sensitivity ranging from ISO100 to ISO1600 and the ability to shoot common Jpeg as well as best-quality RAW files. more : pcadv ...

The E-3 in Use and Practice 2008-01-22 10:47:00 Olympus has released a new camera, which has revolutionized Digital SLR cameras. Olympus has started from the ground up, to create the E-3 and it's unlike any other camera on the market. Four years ago, Olympus began designing a whole new digital SLR system and unlike other systems, which were tied to a film based system, Olympus started from the ground up, designing the lenses. The result is that the lenses are truly matched for digital sensors. Digital sensors are both a blessing and a curse, but no matter what, no one can deny that digital has revolutionized the camera world.Before moving on we have to think of the blessings, digital film is cheap. Instead of spending $100 on a shoot, we now have the abilities to use Compact Flash media. However, the result is vast amounts of files on your computers, which quickly add up to hundreds of Gigabytes of files, and extremely expensive computers to run them. Also, digital sensors have the ability to give us instant feedback of our images. ...

Canon EOS-1Ds Mark III Review 2008-01-22 10:37:00 Canon's EOS-1Ds Mark III is the most sophisticated professional camera yet to emerge from the company's stable. Replacing the EOS-1Ds Mark II, which was released towards the end of 2004, it is the fourth in the line that began in 2002 with the EOS-1Ds and includes the EOS 5D. Compared with the camera it replaces, some significant improvements have taken place as a result of three years of development. (Click here to access a PDF table listing the key differences between the two cameras.)The new model is targeted at professional photographers who require high quality images and first-rate performance for the studio or on location. It boasts a magnesium alloy body with more than 70 dust and moisture resistant seals and a shutter mechanism that's rated for 300,000 cycles. Canon's EOS Integrated Cleaning System for dust removal, which was pioneered on the EOS 400D, has been upgraded to cope with the higher demands of the larger sensor, where it works as well as on cameras with smaller ...

Nikon D300 Review 2008-01-22 10:20:00 The Nikon D300 is the successor to the hugely popular D200 DSLR camera, and Nikon certainly haven't rested on their laurels, adding a veritable wealth of features to their new mid-range model. Aimed at the pro photographer on a budget, or the keen amateur with money to invest, the D300 is a 12.3 megapixel digital SLR with next-generation 51-point AutoFocus system, effective ISO range of 100-6400, continuous shooting mode of 6fps and 3 inch, 920,000 pixel LCD screen.

The brand new EXPEED image processing engine and Advanced Scene Recognition System promise to deliver better image quality than ever before. The D300 shares many of the same features as the new pro-level D3, the main difference being the D300's APS-C / DX-format sensor (the D3 is full-frame). Gavin Stoker took the Nikon D300 for a test drive to find out if you really can get pro-level q ...
