Sunday, 05/11/08 - Review (Summary): "The Sony alpha DSLR-A350 is a solid, sturdy digital single lens reflex camera. Honestly it doesn’t look too much different than almost every other D-SLR out there. The camera has a matte black finish and if you covered the logos, you'd be hard pressed to tell a Canon or a Pentax apart from the Sony. Not to say they’re ugly but overall aesthetics aren't the raison d’etre for these babies - good photos and fast response are the ticket. ...
Sunday, 05/11/08 - Review (Summary): "Don't expect anything radical here - this is a basic black D-SLR with a matte-black body and some textured finish on the pistol grip and rear thumb rest. Yes, there’s an option for a silver body, but if you're buying a camera of this type, black is what you want. ...
Sunday, 05/11/08 - Review (Summary): "Surprisingly, this $1,700 (street) lens is Nikon's first constant-aperture optic in the very popular, all-purpose, standard zoom category. Both of the company's previous pro and amateur 24-85mm lenses had variable apertures. If the gold ornamentation on its barrel doesn't tip you off, the price should confirm that this is a professional-caliber lens. ..
Sunday, 05/11/08 - Review (Summary): "... Sony's outstanding new entry ($1,750, street) isn't based on any earlier Sony, Zeiss, or Konica Minolta designs, but - as the blue logo indicates - was co-developed with Zeiss, and it paves the way for Sony's soon-to-be-unveiled 24MP pro flagship DSLR. ..
Sunday, 05/11/08 - Review (Summary): "One of only two lenses that contains both refractive and diffractive glass elements, this image-stabilized tele zoom is dramatically more compact - and expensive ($1,143, street) - than its refractive-only Canon ($549, street) or Nikon ($479, street) counterparts. ...
Saturday, 05/10/08 - Review (Summary): "If you're in the market for a pocket-sized HD camcorder, the Sanyo Xacti VPC-HD700 ($429, street) should place near the top of your list. The digital video camera, which Sanyo touts for both its 720p HD video capture and 7.1-megapixel still capabilities, offers excellent video quality in a package only slightly larger than a deck of cards. But its sub-par performance as a digital still camera makes the camcorder suitable for snapping only the occasional still photo. ...

Friday, 05/09/08 - Review (Summary): "The GR Digital II sports a 28mm-equivalent lens, which feeds light to a 10.1-megapixel CCD sensor, while a 2.7-inch LCD screen on the back lets you frame your shot. Instead of a built-in optical viewfinder, Ricoh offers a couple of accessory viewfinders that occupy the hot shoe: one (the GV-2) provides a 28mm field of view for the built-in lens; The other (the GV-1) can span 21-28mm, making it a perfect companion for the wide-angle conversion lens (the GW-1), which turns the built-in lens into a 21mm-equivalent. ...
Friday, 05/09/08 - Review (Summary): "With its 14-megapixel CCD, flip-up LCD, sensor-shift image stabilizer, and built-in wireless flash controller, the feature-packed Sony Alpha DSLR-A350 seems like a cornucopia of photographic goodness for the budget shopper. And you wouldn't be far off the mark: there's a lot to like in the A350, and I suspect it will garner its share of fans. ...
Friday, 05/09/08 - Review (Summary): "In the last three years, there have been a slew of advances in the realm of digital SLRs, and Pentax's K200D includes a lot of them. We've seen the megapixels grow to the point that entry-level models now sport 10MP sensors. Advanced color controls let you shift the white balance to add a little warmth or compensate for especially strange lighting. ...
