Review: Sony NEX 5n
After reviewing the Sony NEX C3, I have been dying to get my hands on the 5N (5n). Though initial reviews have shown the earlier versions to have clicking problems when recording video, my version did not seem to have that fault. I have already done a hands on review of the Rokinon 8mm f2.8 fisheye lens using the 5N, and I’ve also compared it to the Canon 5D Mk II in a real life situation.
So as Sony’s middle child (with the C3 being the low end and 7 being the high end) can the 5N really prove to excel above some of the competition?
Long Term Comparison Review: Nikon D5100 vs Canon T3i
We finished reviewing the Nikon D5100 and after using that camera and it’s main competitor, the Canon T3i, for a long time it is now time for a full on comparison review. Though I’ve personally purchased the D5100, it is because I’m already fully invested into Canon’s system and I need to build up a Nikon system in order to review more products for this site.
With that said, which one is right for you: The Canon T3i or Nikon D5100?
Review: Nikon D5100
Not long ago, I gave in and purchased a Nikon D5100 for the reasons of wanting to expand coverage on this site a bit more. Why this over the D7000? Cost, for one (it’s refurbished); and similar results in terms of image quality were both very appealing to me. Additionally, I don’t own an entry level DSLR at all though I’ve used many of them. So this is also my experience with trying to upgrade and move up along the line with a new camera system.
Since purchasing the camera, I haven’t regretted it. But it hasn’t been such a joy either.

Hands On: Canon 1D X
Tonight, I was able to receive hands on time with the newly announced Canon 1D X DSLR camera. This is Canon’s top notch professional level DSLR. We previously wrote about all you really need to know about the camera. So is it worth trading in your Canon 5D Mk II for?
Note: I was dealing with a pre-production unit. Also, thanks to Eric Reagan at Photography Bay for holding the camera in front of his face for me. I used to work for Eric, so you should check his site out as well.

Raw File Comparison: Olympus EP3 vs Sony NEX C3
We previously did a full on comparison of the Sony NEX C3 and the Olympus EP3. Now that their raw files can we tweaked in Adobe Lightroom 3, we can compare and contrast their output. Not long ago, we analyzed the EP3′s and then the C3′s. Without further adieu, we present a comparison of the files from the perspective of someone shooting real life—and not some crazy lab test.

Review Update: Sony NEX C3 (Raw File Test)
We reviewed the Sony NEX C3 (or NEX-C3, NEXC3, NEX C-3) before, and were extremely ecstatic about what Sony has created. Indeed, it is a lovely camera and the company needs to be commended for doing an outstanding job in upgrading from the previous model. When we did our review, the RAW files could not be edited in Adobe Lightroom 3. With the latest update to the software, this has changed. So what does this little powerhouse have in store?
