Canon EOS 1Ds MK III Digital SLR Review

DPReview has reviewed the new Canon EOS 1Ds Mark III Digital SLR in Madagascar - the camera features a full frame 21.1 megapixel CMOS Sensor and dual DIGIC III image processors, 5fps shooting, 19 point AF, EOS sensor cleaning, two Live view modes, a dustproof and waterproof body, it takes compact flash and SDHC memory cards and has a 3" screen. The 1Ds Mark III is available from Amazon:

"If you need resolution, the Mark III - as long as you choose your glass carefully - has it by the bucket load. From here the only way to get more resolution is to go medium format, which brings a whole new set of considerations (not the least the need to sell your house - or at least a kidney - to afford the body and lenses)."

Canon EOS 1000D Rebel XS DSLR Review

Cameralabs have reviewed the new Canon EOS 1000D, it features a 10.1 Megapixel CMOS sensor, Up to 3fps, 7-point wide-area AF, Self-Cleaning Image Sensor, 2.5” LCD with Live View mode, DIGIC III processor, auto lighting optimizer, SD/SDHC card slot. The Canon EOS 1000D is available for pre-order for £429 with IS kit lens, or £384 body only:

"Once you’ve made your peace with these downgrades, it’s easy to like the 1000D / XS. It’s a decent performer and sports all the features most new buyers will look for. The only real problem is its launch price, which at the time of writing in mid-2008 was higher than most rivals, and too close to the 450D / XSi for anyone to seriously consider it."

Nikon D700 Digital SLR Review

Imaging Resource have reviewed the new FX-format digital SLR Nikon D700 - a 12 megapixel full frame sensor Digital SLR with live view, ISO 200 to 6400, 5fps shooting, sensor cleaning, a 3" VGA screen and more. The Nikon D700 DSLR is available for £1799:

"I think any photographer with experience would fall in love with the Nikon D700. There's something to be said for having a 24mm lens work like a 24mm lens again, and the extremely high ISO setting available on this fine digital SLR make once-unthinkable images as easy as a press of the ISO button and a twist of the Main command dial. If you've ever laboriously push-processed film to ISO 3,200 and marveled that you got anything at all (usually a grainy mush), you'll understand the pleasure of getting such high quality in near darkness from the Nikon D700."

Canon EOS 450D Rebel XSi DSLR Review

ThinkCamera have reviewed the new Canon EOS 450D / Digital Rebel XSi - a 12.2 megapixel update to the 400D - it features 3.5fps shooting, live view shooting, 9 point AF, 3" screen, SD memory card support, and Canon's dust reduction system. The 450D Body only is priced at £429, the EOS 450D with 18-55mm IS kit is £449.

"There are one or two minor hiccups; live view arguably being the biggest. The LV system uses contrast-detection autofocus, which is from the 'accurate, but glacial' school. It's perfect for tripod-based still life or macro shots of non-moving things, but it falls way behind the more useful systems found in current Olympus and especially Sony DSLRs."

Olympus EVOLT E-3 Digital SLR Review

Megapixel.net have published their review of the new top of the range E-3 professional Olympus Digital SLR - the camera features a 10 megapixel LiveMOS / Live view sensor, "World's fastest autofocus", 5fps sequential shooting with 19 image RAW buffer, built-in image stabiliser, 2.5" swivel screen, Shadow Adjustment Technology, dust reduction system (Supersonic Wave Filter), Splashproof body and lens system, High sensitivity (ISO 100-3200), and 11 point AF. The E-3 is available for £945.

"The Olympus E-3 takes outstanding photographs indoors as well as out. Its exposure system does an excellent job of analyzing the lighting in a scene and producing arresting photographs. On most occasions, I found the 12-60mm telephoto lens (24-120mm approximate equivalent) very versatile in nabbing the shot that I wanted when I wanted it."

Pentax K200D Digital SLR Review

DigitalTrends have reviewed the new Pentax K200D Digital SLR - it's a 10 megapixel update to the K100D - and features a 2.7" screen, shake reduction, dust reduction, ISO upto 1600, 11 point AF, Expanded Dynamic Range function, plus a weather and dust resistant body. The Pentax K200D is available for £442 with kit lens:

"Pentax definitely earned our respect with this D-SLR. It straddles the line between an entry-level camera and what market watchers describe as mid-level (to reach the big leagues it needs higher resolution and faster speed). Still this is a responsive D-SLR that takes quality 10-megapixel images. It has a value price, feels substantial, offers plenty of photographic options, has built-in stabilization and sensor cleaning plus it comes with a decent kit lens."

"But today we have the Nikon D700 which is by far one of the most impressive DSLRs we’ve tested. Indeed, beyond the minor nitpicking mentioned above, there’s really little we can criticise it on. Depending on your viewpoint it either represents a smaller, lighter and more affordable way to enjoy the D3’s superb image quality, or equips the D300 form factor with a significant step-up in high-sensitivity performance."

Nikon D700 Digital SLR Review

Trusted Reviews have reviewed the new FX-format digital SLR Nikon D700 - a 12 megapixel full frame sensor Digital SLR with live view, ISO 200 to 6400, 5fps shooting, sensor cleaning, a 3" VGA screen and more. The Nikon D700 DSLR is available for £1799:

"I'm sure there are some D3 and D300 owners who are cursing Nikon right now for bringing out a camera that combines the best of those two cameras for a relatively reasonable price. The three cameras should pretty much cover most people's needs, though Nikon still requires a higher resolution model for some pro needs. The D700 covers a lot of bases, though, and for the most part does it very well. I have some reservations about the vignetting, and would be interested to hear how other users' lenses perform, while the sometimes slow AF is also mildly frustrating."

"There's no point in beating around the bush - the Nikon D700 goes straight for the jugular; it's a beast of a camera. There are very few downsides, except perhaps for that hefty £2000 body only price tag. Sounds expensive, but in perspective it's among the most affordable pro-grade DSLR; not only that, but it's up there with the best of them."

Samsung GX-20 Digital SLR Review

Buy N Shoot have reviewed new 14.6 megapixel Samsung GX20 Digital SLR - the Samsung GX20 was announced on the 24th January 2008 and is based on the Pentax K20D - with Samsung's 14.6 megapixel CMOS sensor - the GX20 features live view, dust reduction, a weather and dust proof body, anti-shake sensor, 11-point AF, and ISO upto 6400. The GX20 is available for £629 body only, £639 with kit lens, or £944 with twin lens kit.

"In summation, it is fair to suggest the GX-20 is not an entry level unit. It has clearly been designed with the intermediate to advanced user in mind who is familiar with the general controlling, functions and handling of a DSLR. The lack of scene modes and the detailed menu/function information help to define the target customer as an experienced camera user capable of fully controlling the GX-20 as opposed to it automatically controlling the look of images with point-and-shoot operation."

Canon EOS 1000D Rebel XS DSLR Review

Photography BLOG have reviewed the new Canon EOS 1000D, it features a 10.1 Megapixel CMOS sensor, Up to 3fps, 7-point wide-area AF, Self-Cleaning Image Sensor, 2.5” LCD with Live View mode, DIGIC III processor, auto lighting optimizer, SD/SDHC card slot. The Canon EOS 1000D is available for pre-order for £429 with IS kit lens, or £399 body only:

"Image quality is on a par with the EOS 450D, with noise-free images up to ISO 800 and a very usable fastest speed of 1600, so usable that I don't understand why the EOS 1000D doesn't also offer ISO 3200. Chromatic aberrations are kept to a minimum and colours are accurate - the only minor negative is the soft JPEG images, which may put off users more suited to sharper point and shoot cameras."

Olympus EVOLT E-520 DSLR Review

Digital Camera Info have reviewed the new Olympus EVOLT E-520 Digital SLR - an update to the Olympus EVOLT E-510 - it features a 10 megapixel sensor, image stabilisation, face detection, shadow adjustment, dust protection, autofocus live view, 3.5 fps shooting, ISO1600, and a larger 2.7" screen. The E-520 is available for £497 with kit lens or £553 with twin lens kit.

"The E-520 is a camera that manages to package a significant number of excellent features and solid controls into a great body, but really let itself down in our performance testing. There’s one of the best Live View modes on the market (with auto focus), a good image stabilization system that’s built into the body, comprehensive presets and a high degree of customizability and control."

The Canon EOS 1000D is available for pre-order for £429 with IS kit lens, or £399 body only:

"The Canon EOS 1000D is a difficult camera to judge. While it does have some good qualities, including decent performance and excellent image quality, it doesn’t really stand out against competing entry-level cameras from other brands. Its limited feature-set, slightly disappointing build quality and overall feeling of cheapness do it no favours, and the live view mode isn’t as useful as you might hope."

Micro Four Thirds Camera System Announced

Panasonic and Olympus have announced a revolutionary new camera system that will enable Digital SLR quality photos to be taken with compact cameras with interchangeable lenses. The new system removes the standard mirror box in a Digital SLR, allows the use of new Micro Four Thirds lenses, and Olympus lenses with an adapter, and should provide video recording in the future:

" Olympus Imaging Corporation (Olympus Imaging) and Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd. (Panasonic) today announced joint development of technologies and devices for the "Micro Four Thirds System standard," a new standard that extends the benefits of the Four Thirds System standard for interchangeable lens type digital camera systems by enabling dramatic reductions in size and weight. Under the terms of an agreement between the two companies, they will work jointly toward commercial production of significantly lighter and more compact interchangeable lens type digital camera systems."

The 450D Body only is priced at £429, the EOS 450D with 18-55mm IS kit is £473.

"The number of people moving up to digital SLR cameras has been amazing - but so are the images these cameras can deliver. Even compared to the not-very-old Canon Rebel XTi / 400D, the Canon EOS Rebel XSi / 450D delivers better image quality from a more attractive body with more features ... I'm very pleased (actually somewhat surprised) with the improvements delivered by the Canon EOS Rebel XSi / 450D."

The E-520 is available for £540 with kit lens or £599 with twin lens kit.

"A fully-fledged mid-range DSLR in a compact body, at an entry-level price – this is how one could distill the essence of the Olympus E-520 into one sentence. The new camera inherits the very well designed body, efficient handling and semi-professional feature set of its predecessor, and gains important capabilities such as wireless TTL flash control, Shadow Adjustment Technology and contrast-detect auto-focus in Live View."

The 1000D has been designed for photographers who want to upgrade from a digicam to a more capable, better performing DSLR. It boasts the same 10.1-megapixel imager as the 400D but is smaller and lighter and supports Live View shooting."

The GX20 is available for £629 body only, £702 with kit lens, or £944 with twin lens kit.

"The new 14.6 megapixel Samsung CMOS sensor manages the tricky feat of offering comparable image quality to the 10 megapixel sensor in the GX-10, whilst obviously increasing the image size and allowing you to create bigger prints from the native file. The quality between the two cameras is very similar when comparing the ISO speeds - both produce noise-free images from ISO 100-800"

Canon EOS 1Ds MK III Digital SLR Review

The 1Ds Mark III is available from Amazon:

"The Canon 1Ds Mk III is a pain compared to my Nikons, but for landscape and still work, the images are superior. Its a camera for pros and rich amateurs for use in the studio and in the field. Unless you're loaded, the extra $5,460 spent on a 1Ds Mk III compared to a 5D would buys a lot of first-class lenses, without which the image quality of the 1Ds Mk III will be unrealized."

ByThom have reviewed the new Nikon D3 Digital SLR - it features a full frame 12.2 megapixel sensor, live view, dust reduction, ISO200 - ISO6400, 9 fps shooting and a 3" screen. The Nikon D3 is available from Amazon UK

"The D3 is near state-of-the-art at 12mp. Thus, the D3 is a respectable landscape camera. By respectable I mean that you can push landscapes up to the maximum size a desktop inkjet prints and get excellent detail. Given some of the lenses Nikon has put out recently, any softness in the resulting images is not the camera's fault."

"Since the camera uses the exact same sensor and support electronics, if you know what a D3's image quality looks like, you know what a D700's output is like. It's as simple as that. And, in case you've have been under a rock for the past year, that means among the lowest noise and otherwise highest image quality of any camera."

The Canon EOS 1000D is available for pre-order for £550 with IS kit lens, or £500 body only:

"Having helped create the 'affordable' DSLR, Canon has taken a while to respond to the latest, comparatively wallet-friendly offerings from the likes of Nikon and Sony. The 1000D is a pretty convincing response - it does just about everything it needs to do, and everything it does, it does well. It can produce great images at any of its ISO settings and, viewed as a whole, makes a great first DSLR."

"If you're currently in the market for an entry-level DSLR and you've come across the Sony DSLR-A200 one of the first things you have probably noticed is its incredibly tempting price point. If your budget is limited the A200 is by default one of your top options."

"The overall concept of the D700 is a very attractive one - a price, which is still more or less affordable, a camera with a lot of good and valuable features and which takes very good images. It is a very interesting and future oriented alternative to the D3 and should attract lots of happy customers. If I would have the money, I would sign into the already long waiting list of people who want to get it."

Nikon D60 Digital SLR Review

NeoCamera have reviewed the new Nikon D60 Digital SLR - an update to the D40x - it features a new dust reduction system, Eye-Sensor, a 10 megapixel sensor, 3fps shooting, takes SD cards, 520 shots battery life, 2.5" screen, however still has the same limitations, in that it doesn't feature exposure braketing, and requires AF-S and AF-I NIKKOR lenses. However, one of the main benefits of the D60 is that it's now available with a new Nikkor AF-S 18-55 DX II VR lens for only £389.

"The Nikon D60 is a good option for new DSLR owners. It is a well-built camera with very good image quality and excellent speed of operation. Most people upgrading from a fixed-lens camera are looking for speed and image quality. At the same time, the D60 gives users access to the second largest lens lineup of the industry."

The Pentax K200D is available for £449 with kit lens:

"Perhaps most impressive of all though is the K200D’s build quality. It may be priced at a similar level to models like the Nikon D60, Olympus E-520 and Sony Alpha A300, but is impressively weather-resistant with 60 environmental seals. That’s something you’d normally only find on pricier semi-pro models."
