After trying the D-LUX 5 at Photo Plus Expo 2010, I had the opportunity to shoot with two very legendary lenses in the Leica lineup. The 50mm F/0.95 Noctilux is the fastest lens available in the lineup and the 90mm F/2 has been touted as one of the sharpest lenses the manufacturer makes. See the samples below, all of which were shot wide open.

The other day, Canon officially announced the 7D Studio Version though it had been in production for a little while. One of the new features of the camera is the new bar code system for studios that shoot mass images. The other was to lock out several features of the camera in order to make it focus just on what is needed. Today, the images of what the custom menu looks like have appeared in my email.

I’ve spent some time shooting the Panasonic ZS-7 and will end the field review early for good reasons. First and foremost being that it is not a professional camera or even one of the super-high grade point and shoots. Second, it’s target audience will probably not care for some of the things mentioned previously such as noisy image quality. More on this all after the jump.

As the Leica D-Lux 4 field review continues, I explored the High ISO settings last night. This little camera delivered some results that pleased me and that also made me gawk at the images on screen. It’s really up to you and your own judgement. As a point-and-shoot with a larger sensor, we can’t expect it to have 5D Mk II type image quality but some of the images that come out will still be very usable, especially with use on Flickr. The images here have been resized specifically to be with Flickr’s Large setting. More analysis after the jump.
