  • New camera tests

    As you already know, I list the tests and reviews of recent photo cameras in the database that I use to describe them (in the menu on the left). These last days, this is a deluge of new reviews that we received and listed for: Nikon D3x Canon EOS 5D MkII Panasonic Lumix DMC-G1

  • D3x Hitler last-day video

    OK, it’s a bit silly, but it’s all the rage on the Internet today. What a surprise for a pro dSLR camera. YouTube linkYouTube link2 (it may work better in France or Germany despite YT silly censorship)

  • Comparison of 80-200mm zooms

  • A bunch of Nikon D3x papers

    Did you notice that there is a real deluge of information around one of the most expensive digital SLR camera, the Nikon D3x? I was ready to close the subject, but I could not avoid giving you a few pointers to some of the most interesting articles. DigitalRev speaks about the D3x sensor resolution: Did…

  • The Nikon D3x is official

The available information is now confirmed. But, the price will clearly reserve it for pros. Or you should have hit the Jackpot in Vegas: $7,999.95, you’ll have to think…

  • Fun with the Nikon D3x

    A PBase user decided to have fun creating a 3D CAD model of a pro SLR camera that should have the future Nikon D3x. All the pictures of the Nikon D3x created by nrg_alpha. As is said in one of the comments, I’d laugh seeing some people believing that this could actually be a leak…

  • Nikon D500, following D300

    Some rumours are less reliable than others. Here, this is the announcement of a Nikon D500 by Stock-Photo.blogspot.com. No identified source, but the mere reference to a marketing move to solve issues found in the video of the Nikon D90. Neverhteless, it would be a real successor to the Nikon D300 to be expected in…

  • Web sites for lens reviews

    It is often difficult to group lens reviews in order to compare/evaluate a little more than their mere physical characteristics (focal length, aperture/diaphragm, or even number of individual lenses). But how would you evaluate/review optical quality? When I see the really impressive differences between two lenses, I would be prepared to judge from their price,…
