Canon EOS 5D Mark III Review
The Canon EOS 5D Mark III is a 22.3-megapixel full-frame digital SLR with full HD video and a state-of-the-art auto focus system. As the follow-up to the hugely popular Canon EOS 5D Mark II, expectations for the Mark III were huge. The Mark II set the standard for HD DSLR video and arguably revolutionized the […]

Update: Our Canon EOS 5D Mark III studio sample photo gallery has been updated with samples made from the RAW files. These tests were made before Adobe Lightroom supported the 5D Mark III so we shot RAW + JPEG and just posted the JPEG files. Since Lightroom 4.1 came out we were able to export […]

With an f/2.0 lens and a new 12-megapixel backlit CMOS sensor it’s clear Olympus means business with their current top-of-the-line waterproof Tough camera, the TG-1 iHS.

Note: this article has been updated with a hands-on video intro for the TG-1 that includes some sample video clips and more action photo samples. A few weeks ago Olympus announced their latest top-of-line rugged waterproof camera, the TG-1 iHS. They made a big move with this camera by giving it an f/2.0 zoom lens […]
Read More »Olympus OM-D E-M5 Studio Sample Photos
My reaction on looking at my first batch of Olympus OM-D E-M5 photos was, “this camera is better than it has any right to be.” I am really amazed by what Olympus has been able to get out of the E-M5’s new 16-megapixel Four Thirds sensor. I assumed we were reaching the point of diminishing […]

The Nikon Coolpix AW100 is Nikon’s first rugged, waterproof digital camera. It can handle drops of about 5 feet, it’s waterproof to 33 feet and it’s also freezeproof – perfect for the kind of rough, outdoor funtography that I love!

I was really excited about the14-megapixel Canon PowerShot G1 X when Canon announced it. The big, new 1.5-inch sensor puts it up against compact system (mirrorless) cameras as far as image quality goes and really puts it in a class of its own compared to other compact digital cameras. I got Canon to send me […]

Nikon sent me a D4 for review last week and you’ll find a full set of high-res studio sample photos shot at all ISO settings, below. I’ve used it just enough to get a feel for it and I am impressed. I shot a whole bunch of low light family stuff on Easter and I […]

In a lucky bit of timing I happened to be dropping off a camera at Pictureline when their first Fujifilm X-Pro1 digital rangefinder was delivered. The X-Pro1 is one of the most interesting cameras to come out this year (Fujifilm X-Pro1 intro article) and this was the first time I’d seen one in person. So […]

Like everyone else out there, I’ve been anxious to get my hands on the Nikon D800 and Canon EOS 5D Mark III, the latest and greatest full-frame professional digital SLRs. Instead of waiting to get official review cameras from Nikon and Canon, I went straight to my local pro shop, Pictureline, and had their man, […]
Read More »Canon PowerShot G1 X Studio Sample Photos
Our Canon PowerShot G1 X studio sample photos are complete and available for perusal. The image quality of this camera is amazing! I’ve been critical of Canon’s high-end G-Series compact cameras for the past couple of generations because I thought the image quality wasn’t good enough to make up for their chunky bodies. But I’ve […]
Read More »Fujifilm X10 Hands-On Video Intro
I had the pleasure of using the Fujifilm X10 for a few weeks while testing it for a pro review. For those of you who don’t know about the X10, it’s a high-end compact digital camera with a large 2/3-inch 12-megapixel sensor, a serious metal body, RAW capability, and a wonderful 4x optical zoom lens […]

The Nikon Coolpix AW100 is Nikon’s first rugged, waterproof point-and-shoot camera. It was introduced last fall and it went right to the top of the list of desirable point-and-shoots for active outdoor people. I’m actually finishing up a pro review for the AW100 right now so keep your eyes open for that. But Dave’s review, […]
