Nikon has confirmed to PDN that it is investigating a problem that can cause the D800 and D4 to lock-up while shooting. The company says that the issue – identified while PDN was reviewing the camera – can be avoided by disabling Highlights and RGB Histogram on the display.

Olympus TG-1: Tough Cams Want to Snap Beautiful Photos Too

by admin

The Olympus TG-1 is the company’s latest rugged camera, the successor to last year’s TG-810. And though the rugged aspects of these cameras may have hit an innovative plateau, there’s always room for improvement when it comes to image quality. That’s why Olympus packed a lens with an F2.0 aperture into this durable 12-megapixel beast.… Continue reading »

Samsung’s Pro Compact

by admin

Samsung’s line of excellent NX-series mirrorless cameras is getting packed with the Wi-Fi features the company’s been offering in point-and-shoots for years. Sharing your photos between devices and on Facebook made easy—but is it a feature that these cameras need? Last year’s Samsung NX200 was pretty darn excellent, save for a few quibbles we had… Continue reading »

Nikon D3200: Nikon’s Entry-Level DSLR

by admin

Nikon’s entry-level DSLRs are known for being well-built and easy to use. The same looks to be true for the D3200, just with a super-sized 24.2 megapixel sensor. Like the D800 and its monster 36MP sensor, the D3200 is an escalation in the sort-of dormant megapixel war. The DX-format (sorry, full-frame hopefuls) CMOS sensor should… Continue reading »

The Best Inexpensive Point-and-Shoot Camera with Wi-Fi

by admin

Smartphone cameras have gotten so good—and sharing photos from them has gotten so easy—that in most situations, a simple point-and-shoot camera seems like an unnecessary inconvenience. But point-and-shoot manufacturers, eager to keep their products relevant, have begun equipping the cameras with built-in Wi-Fi transmitters.

Add a Massive 5.6-Inch LCD Display To Your DSLR

by admin

If the Canon 5D Mark III’s generous 3.2-inch LCD display still isn’t large enough for your needs, the Swivi lets you strap on an even larger 5.6-inch swiveling display for live previews or reviewing shots and footage. Using a bracket that attaches to your camera’s tripod mount, the Swivi hangs off the side of your… Continue reading »

Mirrorless Lenses

by admin

Today’s contestants: the lovely and talented Sony 16mm f/2.8 and Olympus 17mm f/2.8 pancake lenses. Since everyone seemed to enjoy looking inside an NEX mirrorless camera, I decided to take more pictures while doing today’s disassembly. Optically I expected both lenses to be fairly simple: the Sony has 5 single elements, the Olympus 6 elements in 4… Continue reading »

Sony Alpha A57

by admin

Even as pro-grade, mirrorless, interchangeable lens cameras threaten to overtake the user-base that once demanded budget DSLRs, not everyone is convinced. Sony has revamped one of its budget DSLR-like cameras for people who actually like having a bigger, more powerful camera in their hands. The first thing you notice about the A57 when you compare… Continue reading »
