You may question why I selected the Samsung WB250F for review after my less than positive review of the Galaxy, a camera replete with all sorts of problems like dust on the sensor, poor ISO performance and an inordinately long startup time! My reasons: Samsung is now a major player in electronics, especially smart phones [...]
It has been 4 months since we updated our ‘Popular Cameras and Gear’ list here on dP – a list of the hottest selling cameras and accessories among our readers (based upon what they are buying on Amazon*). So today I have updated the most popular DSLR list of cameras. What follows is the most [...]
Canon describes this camera as the flagship of its entry-level consumer DSLR camera line-up and, while each is ‘designed to suit specific user requirements, both cameras are packed with high-quality and creative features that are ideal for creative-minded consumers looking to take their photography to the next level.’ So don’t expect to pay top dollar [...]
I’m often asked by beginning photographers about what I use to shoot my photos, whether it’s landscapes, portraits, sports, or some other subject. Most often, they are referring to the camera used, the lenses, maybe the flash. But the truth is that there’s more to taking great photos than just the camera. The truth is, [...]
Nikon has again upped the ante in its compact digicam lineup and the Nikon Coolpix p330 is an excellent example of the movement. A biggish 15mm CMOS sensor, moderate pixel count plus a fast f1.8 lens leads to a surprisingly high performance in such a moderately-priced camera. Coupled with this is the camera’s small size, [...]
For whatever reason it was a long wait for the Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH3 — I counted about six months. Worth waiting for? Yes, for a number of reasons, not all directly to do with image making either. As a MILC (mirrorless interchangeable lens camera) this is as fully featured as you can get and then [...]
You may have heard the term “Nifty Fifty“ before. If you haven’t, it is usually a reference to the Canon 50mm f1.8 lens. But for the purpose of this article I’m going to use it synonymously with any prime 50mm lens. What’s the best “next” lens to buy? I get asked all the time by [...]
After unpacking this long-awaited camera – the Pentax X-5 – my first impression was that it looked startingly like a DSLR! Prominent speed grip, big lens, eyepiece, same feel. But it is of course a bridge camera, with a magnificent 26x zoom lens reach, operable from the top zoom lever. Pentax X-5 Features Those who [...]
This article is written by Andrew S. Gibson, the author of Understanding EOS, on sale now at Snap N Deals for a limited time. Note: This article is about Canon’s semi-professional and professional EOS cameras. You can read about its entry level models in my previous article. Semi-professional cameras This group of EOS cameras is [...]
Some see the arrival of cameras such as these as indicative of camera companies responding to the market by taking on smart phones as a camera to take everywhere. While phone cameras are damned useful and most of them take pretty decent images, they fall down in many respects. Some, but not all, fall down [...]
