The D7000 is Nikon’s latest mid-range digital SLR. Aimed at the photographer who’s seeking a more affordable camera than Nikon’s top-tier devices, the D7000 goes up against Canon’s EOS 60D and EOS 7D. You can expect to pay around 1,200 for the D7000 with a stabilised 18-105mm zoom lens (Nikon dSLRs don’t feature built-in anti-shake systems). Continue reading »

Nikon D3X
The Nikon D3X is a 24.5 megapixel professional-grade full frame (35 mm) digital single-lens reflex camera (DSLR) announced by the Nikon Corporation on 1 December 2008. The D3X is the third camera in Nikon’s line to offer a full frame sensor, following the D3 and D700. As Nikon’s new flagship model, it augments the Nikon D3, Nikon’s high-speed professional model, and while the D3 retains advantages in terms of high ISO performance and higher frame rate, the D3X offers a dramatic increase in resolution and image detail. It offers the same features, like automatic correction of lateral chromatic aberration, and vignetting (“vignette control”) and lens distortion (“distortion”) correction as well as image rotation (“straighten”) via playback (“retouch”) menu.

What’s so great about the new Canon Eos 500D, anyway? Doesn’t Canon already have enough offerings out there that they don’t need to throw any more in our direction? Really, isn’t’ the Eos 500D just gratuitous?
Actually, no. It has several features that are usually only available on professional-level models, but it costs slightly less than $900. What are the features that make it provide such a big bang for the buck?
1. DIGIC 4 professional-level processor. This is the powerhouse of the new Eos 500D. The DIGIC 4 means that the camera keeps low noise all the way up to 800 ISO, so you can get clear shots of everything but Jake Peavy’s pitches or a cheetah running downhill.
The processor also lets users take great VGA-quality video. It records a 1920×1080-size image, 720p at 30 frames per second. This is the standard for Internet playback and allows anyone to easily show off their expertise on YouTube or their own website.
2. Compatibility. Not only is the 500D compatible with all of the Eos Speedlites–it’s also compatible with every Canon lens currently on the market. So if you already have a super-telephoto, wide-angle, or any large-aperture lens–even the ones made for the Canon’s professional models–you’ll find using them with your new 500D a snap (literally!)
3. Excellent user interface. Canon has changed the Eos 500D up a little from the rest of the Eos line. Perhaps most important is its new vertical control dial which replaces the standard horizontal one.
This new vertical dial should lower thumb-flicking accidents that can either throw the shot out of focus, resulting either in a bad shot or potentially causing the photographer to loose a shot while he or she re-adjusts.
4. Low learning curve. The 500D is just one generation down form Canon’s XSi. It weighs the same–1.2 pounds–and has the same basic body. This means that users of the XSi can adjust to it without problem. It also means that new Canon owners should have an easy time aiming and steadying the new 500D–Canon’s most advanced amateur model to date!

For people looking for a great entry-level camera, the Canon EOS Rebel T1i should be the place to start looking. Many people have caught the photography bug, wanting to improve the quality of the precious memories they capture for their family and friends. Finding a camera that is robust enough to deliver quality images has not been the challenge. Finding that hearty machine at an affordable price and easy enough for the novice to use has been.
The Canon EOS Rebel T1i has a multitude of functions in digital photography, and is easy on the wallet. The EOS Rebel T1i can deliver 170 high resolution digital JPEG images in true High Definition video at 3.4 frames per second continuous shooting. In laymen’s terms, the EOS Rebel T1i is powerful for the professional photog, but simple enough for the beginner.
One of the most exciting features of the Canon EOS Rebel T1i is the 3 inch Clear View LCD monitor. This feature alone makes other cameras in the class seem out of place. The LCD monitor is useful for viewing still images as well as full motion video. Further, the Canon EOS Rebel T1i can capture full motion video in High Definition at 20 frames per second or in 4:3 ratio (standard video) at 30 frames per second.
The Canon Eos Rebel T1i is extremely affordable as well. Other similar devices that have less functionality may cost upwards of $1200, while the EOS Rebel T1i does not break the $1000 barrier. The affordability of the Canon EOS Rebel T1i makes it a smart choice when choosing a hand-held image device.
Seeking a top caliber piece of equipment for a new hobby is often risky. Choosing entry-level hardware often makes more sense. In this case, the Canon EOS Rebel T1i is the entry level camera that boasts a powerful platform and reasonable price. That makes it the smart choice and the affordable one as well.
Nobody likes to be limited by a budget, especially penny-pinchers like me. But hey, that’s a story for a later discussion. Let’s stick to talking exclusively about digital cameras here, and more importantly Nikon digital SLR cameras. It’s no secret, that Nikon creates many of the best digital SLRs out there, and there are plenty to choose from.
For such a discussion, we’re staying away from beginner entry level SLR models, and focusing on those cameras that allure to individuals with more photography skill, or simply a bigger budget that compensates for a lack of skill. I do not really fit into either of these categories at the moment, but hey, things are changing.
Lets start by dealing delving into the Nikon D90. A camera which just beats the $1,000 entry barrier, but comes amongst a generous 12.3 megapixels. Now I know you may have read other discussions in the past about how megapixels truly don’t matter, but that runs best for consumers who don’t own many cameras. The D90 comes with other nice appealing features like dust control, updated live view (all you purists out there just need to get over it), and outstanding detection abilities
For the more advanced photographer (not the same as the guy with the larger wallet), you will need to look at the D200. If your seeking out speed from a camera, this baby’s got it. By speed, I’m talking about a fast and versatile shutter speed, and the ability to take rapid fire pictures one right after the other. It’s been available for a while, since 2005, which explains why it’s at only 10 megapixels, but it is also a testament to how good a camera it really is. To still be a viable model, nearly four years after the initial launch.
There are a wide range of options and features available for DSLR (digital single lens reflex) cameras and it can be confusing if you are buying this type of camera for the first time. This guide will help you decide which features are important to you and hopefully help you to choose your ideal DSLR camera. Continue reading »

The Nikon D80 digital SLR camera is perhaps not exactly what Nikon fans were expecting. It’s meant to replace the D70, yet it’s strikingly similar. This brings to mind an interesting issue. All companies, electronics or otherwise, are under constant pressure from their shareholders to release new products. Even you produce the enormously popular “super widget” your stock holders will darn well expect you to produce “super duper widget” in the next fiscal year. In this sense, the D80 might be Nikon telling us that the D70 was a great camera that needed few improvements. Continue reading »
