Review: Canon S100
Unless you are completely new to photography or you’ve been living under a rock for the past 5 years, it’s safe to say you’ve heard of Canon’s “S” line of cameras. The S90 proved that camera manufactures can make a truly pocketable camera with a large (for a compact) sensor and all of the manual controls that many photographers demand. When the S95 was released, it only brought minor updates to the S90. So, is the S100 another step in the evolution of Canon’s S line or is it more than that?

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.

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.

We’ve already seen that the camera does a great job so far and it truly one of our favorites, but has Olympus really learned their lesson with the Micro Four Thirds sensor output?
Field Review: Fujifilm X100 (Day 2)
After just getting a feel for the camera in Day 1 and comparing the image quality with the EP-2, I’ve taken the Fujifilm X100 to work. Today, it spent the entire day by my side through a variety of situations: while on the streets, portraits, tracking moving cars, and shooting flowers. And I’m sad to say that I’m not totally pleased.

Field Review: Olympus XZ-1 (Day 2)
The other day I was in Union Square when I stumbled upon Emu eggs. Taking advantage of this awesome opportunity, I quickly snapped photos of them with the Olympus XZ-1. The first impressions of the camera were still holding strong, but does the image quality seem up to par?
