Aimed at active lifestyle photographers, the compact
and rugged Panasonic Lumix DMC-TS4 serves as an update to
the highly acclaimed Lumix DMC-TS3 introduced last year. With
respect to the design of the Lumix DMC-TS4, Panasonic has

it?”, since all of the major functions and technologies
incorporated in the TS4 remain essentially unchanged compared
to the TS3. The Panasonic TS4 also offers the same durable
body construction as its predecessor by being waterproof up
to depths of 12m, dustproof, freezeproof down to -10°C,
and shockproof against a drop of up to 2m. Both camera’s
also feature built-in GPS, altimeter readings, barometer readings
and a compass. We have now published our Panasonic

 Jan
23rd. Most
digital SLR cameras are sold in a kit form with a standard
18-55mm type of zoom lens. While suitable for more common
photo situations, such as group shots of people or wide-angle
landscapes, a standard kit lens is not as practical for capturing
distant subjects. The solution is to invest in a secondary
telephoto zoom lens which provides the longer focal range
to zoom in on the subject from further away, ideal for sports
or candid photography. A popular solution is a telephoto zoom
lens that offers a focal range from approximately 55 to 200mm
coverage. We
have had the opportunity to review the Nikon AF-S DX 55-200mm
F/4-5.6G IF-ED VR Nikkor lens, and feel it provides a good
example of the advantages offered by a longer zoom lens in
this focal range. The Nikon AF-S DX 55-200mm VR is a reasonably
priced, compact and lightweight telephoto zoom lens, and serves
as a complement to the standard 18-55mm kit lens, providing
a combined range of coverage from 18mm to 200mm focal length
(DX format) or 27mm to 300mm in 35mm terms.

 Jan
7th. Nikon
recently released the 10.1 MP Nikon J1 digital camera, one
of their first entries into the mirrorless interchangeable
lens compact camera market. The Nikon J1 is positioned as
the current entry level model in the new Nikon 1 system, and
is designed to appeal to family and travel photographers by
featuring a very compact form factor, and by offering a wide
range of both user friendly automatic options and manual creative
control. Compared to Nikon's DX format F mount SLR cameras
like the Nikon D3100 and D5100, the Nikon J1 offers a much
more compact design by eliminating the optical viewfinder
and incorporating a smaller sensor and lens mount. A more
direct competitor to the Nikon J1 is the Sony NEX-C3 mirrorless
interchangeable lens camera. The Sony NEX-C3 differs from
the Nikon J1 in that it incorporates a larger APS-C type sensor,
the same size found in Sony's Alpha SLR camera's like the
SLT-A65, and approximately the same size as the one found
in the Nikon D3100. We
have now published a Nikon
J1 versus Sony NEX-C3 Comparison Review to
show how these two cameras compare against each other.

 July
11th. Nikon
recently released the AF-S Nikkor 50mm F/1.8G, a reasonably
priced fast prime lens geared towards enthusiast photographers.
When attached to a digital SLR camera with a DX format size
sensor, the lens offers approximately a 75mm field of view
in 35mm equivalent terms.
As a result, The Nikon AF-S 50mm F/1.8G presents itself as
a good portrait lens, although
it can just as easily be used for other types of applications
such as travel, low light and fine art photography. By providing
a fast f/1.8 maximum aperture, the Nikon AF-S 50mm F/1.8G
offers both an extended depth of field control for still and
movie recording, and the ability to shoot at higher shutter
speeds than would be possible under the same conditions with
a slower aperture kit lens attached. By incorporating an AF-S
motor in the lens, the AF-S 50mm F/1.8G provides full auto
focus capability with all Nikon digital SLR cameras, including
the Nikon D3100 and the D5100. We have had the opportunity
to test and review the Nikon AF-S 50mm F/1.8G lens and have
added a brief comparison versus the standard Nikon AF-S DX
18-55mm F/4-5.6G VR kit zoom lens. as well as some sample

users, suitable for photographing wide-angle landscapes or
group shots of people, to zooming in on the action to capture
outdoor sports, wildlife, or kids at play. The lens provides
the equivalent field of view of a 27mm - 300mm focal range
in 35mm (FX) terms. We recently tested the Nikkor AF-S DX
18-200mm F/3.5-5.6G IF-ED VR II with a Nikon D90 SLR camera.

 May
8th. Nikon
recently released the Nikon D5100 SLR, which serves an update
to the Nikon D5000. The Nikon D5100 is designed to appeal
to both novice and hobby photographers by offering a wide
range of both automatic options and extended manual creative
control. The Nikon D5100 shares a fairly similar body design
to the Nikon D5000, although receives a number of updated
features, among them an almost identical 16 megapixel DX format
CMOS
sensor to the one found in the popular higher end Nikon D7000.
Another addition is that the Nikon D5100 now features a larger
3-inch, 921K high resolution side mounted swivel LCD screen,
versus the D5000 with a smaller 2.7-inch, and lower resolution
(230K) bottom hinged swivel LCD screen (less versatile). The
other big news surrounding the Nikon D5100 is the upgraded
video recording capabilities compared to the D5000. The Nikon
D5100 now offers full HD movie recording complete with auto
focus (AF) and selectable frame rates (1080P at up to 30 fps),
and provides for the welcome ability of being able to plug
in an optional external stereo microphone.
As of today, the 18MP Canon Rebel T3i / 600D SLR is
the closest competitor to the Nikon D5100. Both cameras feature
a very similar feature set and are intended for the same target
market including entry level to more advanced enthusiast photographers.
We have now had the opportunity to test the Nikon D5100 versus
the Canon Rebel T3i / 600D, and have put together a detailed
comparison to show how these two models stack up against each
other. Check

to the 14 MP CCD sensor found in the SX210 IS. Showcasing
the evolution of the Canon ELPH brand, the new PowerShot ELPH
models have now instituted a “HS” suffix to represent the
inclusion of the HS SYSTEM in each model. Introduced last
year, the Canon HS SYSTEM is a technology used to enhance image quality
in low-light situations without the need for a flash. Making up the
HS SYSTEM in these new models is Canon’s DIGIC 4 Image Processor combined
with the new High-Sensitivity CMOS sensor, which helps to reduce noise
at high ISO levels and expand the camera's dynamic range, ultimately
capturing greater detail and colour in images in darker settings, like
a wedding reception... See

Nikon AF-S DX 55-300mm f/4.5-5.6G ED VR Nikkor telephoto zoom
is designed to be the ideal complement to the 18-55mm VR DX-format
camera kit lens, such as the one coupled with the Nikon D3100
D-SLR camera, and provides users with an affordable way to
achieve telephoto zoom focal lengths from 82.5mm to 450mm

Dec
7th. If
you are in the market for a compact camera with a long range
zoom that will fit in a pocket or purse, two options for consideration
are the Nikon Coolpix S8100 and the Fujifilm Finepix JZ310
/ JZ300. The
Nikon Coolpix S8100 and the Fuji Finepix JZ310 offer similar
top line specifications with 12.1 megapixel resolution, a
wide angle 10x optical zoom lens, offer HD movie recording,
feature a number of automatic Scene modes for user friendly
picture taking, and come supplied with a Li-Ion rechargeable
battery and charger. The Nikon Coolpix S8100 is however priced
at a considerable premium (as much as 60% more based on the
manufacturer's recommended retail price) compared to the Fuji
JZ310 / JZ300. We have now done a side by side comparison
review between the Nikon Coolpix S8100 and the Fuji Finepix
JZ310 / JZ300, taking a closer look at what might make the
Nikon S8100 command the higher price, and why it may be worth
spending more on a premium priced compact camera versus a
more budget priced model (although with many similar features)
like the Fujifilm JZ310 / JZ300... See

Nikon AF-S DX Nikkor 35mm f/1.8G lens is a fast fixed focal
length lens designed for use with Nikon DX format SLR cameras.

have included a gallery of Nikon D3100 SLR sample images taken
with the Nikon AF-S DX Nikkor 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR zoom standard
kit lens. The Nikon D3100 is a successor to the popular Nikon
D3000 introduced last year. While maintaining the same basic
characteristics as the Nikon D3000, in being compact and lightweight
with a focus on ease of operation, the D3100 SLR offers a
range of new features and a number of body design differences.
Some of the more notable updates on the Nikon D3100 include;
a new higher resolution 14.2 megapixel (MP) sensor versus

recently introduced the 18 megapixel Canon EOS 60D digital
SLR, a camera geared towards enthusiast level photographers,
and which serves as a successor to the Canon EOS 50D. The
Canon 60D also offers 1080p HD movie recording ability with
advanced controls and shares the same sensor technology found
in the popular Canon Rebel T2i. The Canon 60D provides a more
rugged body design compared to the Rebel T2i, and although
the two camera's feature a similar 3.0-inch LCD screen with
1.02 million resolution, the rear LCD monitor on the 60D provides
greater versatility by offering a tilt and swivel function
for shooting at unusual and creative angles. The Canon 60D
also provides faster 5.3 frames per second (fps) continuous
shooting (versus 3.7 fps for the T2i), a brighter and clearer
glass pentaprism viewfinder with slightly greater coverage

28th. The
Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II is a low cost fast prime lens designed
for the Canon EOS system of cameras. When attached to a digital
SLR camera with an APS-C size sensor, the lens offers approximately
an 80mm field of view in full frame 35mm equivalent terms.
As a result, the Canon EF 50mm F/1.8 II presents itself as
a good portrait lens, although it can just as easily be used
for other types of applications such as low light and fine
art photography. With
a fast f/1.8 maximum aperture the lens offers the ability
to control for shallow depth of field, and to shoot at higher
shutter speeds than would be possible under the same conditions
with a slower aperture regular kit lens attached... See

Most of the changes to the Pentax K5 are found inside the
camera. The most noticeable upgrade is the new 16.3 megapixel

recently released the Canon Rebel T2i SLR (also known as the
EOS 550D), which serves an update to the Canon Rebel T1i /
500D. The Rebel T2i is designed to appeal to both novice and
enthusiast photographers by offering a wide range of both
automatic options and extended manual creative control. The
Canon Rebel T2i receives a number of updated features vs.
the T1i / 500D, among them an almost identical 18 megapixel
APS-C CMOS
sensor to the one found in the popular higher end Canon EOS
7D. The Canon Rebel T2i / 550D also incorporates a more advanced
63-zone iFCL exposure metering system similar to the 7D and
sports an updated wide screen (3:2) LCD monitor with 1.04
million dot resolution. The other big news surrounding the
Canon Rebel T2i / EOS 550D is the upgraded video recording
capabilities compared to the Canon T1i / 500D, and the inclusion
of an external microphone plug. As of today, the 12.3MP Nikon
D90 SLR is the closest competitor to the Canon Rebel T2i /
EOS 550D. Since its introduction, the 12.3MP Nikon D90 has
become one of the best selling enthusiast oriented SLR cameras
on the market. The Nikon D90's popularity is because the camera
offers excellent image quality and is backed by an impressive
feature and performance set. So does the new Canon Rebel T2i
/ EOS 550D SLR have what it takes to dethrone the Nikon D90
as the DSLR benchmark in its class? Check out our Canon
