Canon 5D Mark II seems like all us Canon folks don’t have to keep crying. Nikon has the incredible D700 and the D300 and now Canon has the 5DII and the 50D. Great preview
Sigma DP2 hopefully will be [...]

Final decisions on ultracompact cameras: Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX35 vs. Canon Powershot SD790 IS
September 16th, 2008 · 1 Comment · Geek
Well, unless you are going for a pro-grade compact camera like the soon to launch $500 Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX3, probably your main criteria is being small and OK pictures which is what you are going to get. Overall, it is interesting how cameras have not improved much from my trusty SD500 and Fuji F11 [...]

Less sophisticated but ultracompact

So it looks like the advanced compact cameras are really a turkey shoot between the Panasonic DMC-LX3 and the upcoming Canon G10. As an aside the 5MP camera we are replacing is a Canon SD400 which is 5.7 cubic inches and 130 grams. So it would be nice to get something about the same size.
What [...]

Canon PowerShot G10 (G9 as a preview)
September 6th, 2008 · No Comments · Geek
This is coming out in October, but is a pretty big update. A reason to wait before buying a LX-3, I think. Popphoto had the notice. The previous G9 did get very good reviews (it is 12MP vs. the 15MP in the new G10)
14.7 megapixels (wow!)
28-140mm 5x zoom
3 inch LCD
RAW support
The biggest advantage of [...]

Panasonic DMC-LX3
September 6th, 2008 · No Comments · Geek
While SLRs are getting incredible, the whole compact end is stagnant. Even with a 14 megapixel sensor, the small size means they are noisy and getting a decent shot at ISO 400 is nearly impossible. That plus slow lenses means I really don’t like the quality. This is a semi-professional camera much like the [...]
