Nikon D800 vs. Canon EOS 5D Mark III Hands-On Video Intro
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, […]

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, […]

Update: In spite of my skepticism about the Nikon D800’s high resolution 36-megapixel sensor, my concerns have mostly been squashed. First, it turns out that the image quality is excellent – about as good as it gets, in fact. Since I first wrote this intro article, image quality testing site DxO Mark gave the D800 […]

Read More »Nikon Coolpix P300 – Featured User Review
I was pleased to see Footski’s review for the Nikon Coolpix P300 compact camera show up recently. The Nikon P300’s super-fast f/1.8 aperture lens sets it apart from all but one compact camera (the Olympus XZ-1). It’s a very serious camera in a deceptively small point-and-shoot sized body. I’m glad to give it some extra […]

The Nikon 1 system is Nikon’s first foray into the world of mirrorless cameras. They introduced two cameras back in September, the J1 and V1. I’ve been using the $650 J1 (price includes 10-30mm kit lens), the less expensive of the two Nikon 1 mirrorless cameras. Both the J1 and the V1 share the same […]

I’m putting the final touches on my Nikon 1 compact mirrorless system J1 camera review right now. But I’ve got a hands-on Nikon 1 intro video with some action sample clips up on the PhotographyREVIEW.com YouTube channel. It gives an overview of the new Nikon 1 mirrorless camera system as well as a quickie tour […]

Earlier this week, Nikon announced a new flagship speedlight flash for their digital SLRs. The Nikon SB-910 has a new, easier to use control interface with a dedicated menu button. It has a zoom range of 17-200mm and automatically detects whether it’s being used with an FX or DX format camera so it can get […]
Read More »Nikon Coolpix AW100 Studio Sample Photos
The Nikon Coolpix AW100 is Nikon’s first rugged, outdoor camera. Most rugged point-and-shoot cameras have mediocre image quality and I’ve been waiting for a camera company to step up and make one where image quality is a higher priority. Nikon claims image quality is one of the main strengths of the AW100 so I was […]

The 2011 Holiday Season is upon us and I’m sure a lot of photographers would love to receive either the Canon PowerShot G12 or the Nikon Coolpix P7100 as a gift. The Canon G-Series cameras have long been among the most popular compact digital cameras – especially for serious photographers who want something small, light […]
Read More »Nikon 1 System – J1 Studio Sample Photos
The new Nikon 1 interchangeable lens mirrorless camera system has been a source of controversy since it was announced. The new 10-megapixel “CX” sensor format is smaller than the Four Thirds sensor used in the Olympus and Panasonic Micro Four Thirds compact system cameras and a lot of people believe that the image quality is […]
