Sony A550 Preview

Just Posted: Our hands-on preview of the Sony DSLR A550. The recently announced (and reviewed) A380 and its A330/A230 variants were not met with universal approval. With the launch of the DSLR-A500 and A550, the bigger picture starts to become clearer, with Sony producing five sub-$1000 DSLRs tailored to a variety of needs. The Alpha 5 series is much more clearly aimed at the photography enthusiast, so we have prepared a 10-page preview detailing its specifications, features and changes. Is this the camera to put smiles back on the faces of the Alpha crowd?

Just Posted: Sony DSLR-A380 in-depth review

Just Posted: Our review of the Sony DSLR A380. This is our first review of one of Sony’s latest trio of entry-level DSLRs.

So how comfortable did we feel in its embrace?

Just posted! Nikon 50mm F1.4G lens review

Just posted!Our lens review of the Nikon AF-S Nikkor 50mm F1.4G. This version replaces the AF-Nikkor 50mm F1.4D we reviewed last year, bringing entirely new optics and a built-in AF-S motor which allows autofocus on all of Nikon’s DSLRs.

Sony Alpha 700 DSLR Digital Camera Review

Both on paper and in the way it handles, Sony’s Alpha A700 certainly gives its prosumer DSLR competition a run for their money. At a glance, this unit is well built, offers some 12.24-megapixels, outstanding LCD resolution, and an array of features likely to tickle the fancy of semi-serious photographers everywhere.

Just Posted: Canon EOS 500D / Rebel T1i review

Just Posted: Our review of the Canon EOS 500D (Digital Rebel T1i in the United States and Kiss X3 Digital in Japan).

Just posted! Hartblei 120mm F4 Macro TS lens review

Just posted!Our lens review of the Hartblei Superrotator 120mm F4 TS Macro. In this latest review we deviate from the beaten track and delve into the slightly esoteric world of tilt and shift optics, taking a look at the longest lens of its type currently available. Like the rest of Hartblei’s lenses, the 120mm F4 sports an ‘Optics by Carl Zeiss’ tag and is available in mounts for most DSLRs, but does it offer enough to justify the price tag?
