I recently had the pleasure of testing the Olympus EPL-1 that is being so highly raved about while on an excursion in Chinatown. While this is a camera that people stepping up to interchangable lens cameras might appreciate, I don’t think I ever want to touch one again. There are flaws with the camera that I really wasn’t satisfied with in addition to huge problems that are totally unacceptable. My conclusions are after the jump.
Instant rebates are now available on the Canon 50D along with a couple of lenses when they are purchased together.
Now that the Nikon field review is over, here is a complete listing of postings for the complete review.
My old boss, Sal Cangeloso over at Geek.com got to test out my Nikon D3x recently and his reactions are very positive towards it. While Sal is more of a hobbyist and very advanced enthusiast he confirms that the Nikon D3x is surely a camera meant for people that know what they’re doing. While you’re at it, also check out his test of some yummy Zeiss glass that we checked out.
My field review starts soon. So look out for that.
The Canon 7D is a recent purchase of mine made to compliment my 5D Mk II. So far, I’ve been very impressed with the camera. I gave the camera its first real test at a Seder since this week is Passover. My findings after the jump.
The above posting (pictured) came up in my google feeds this morning. When I went to click the link, it was flagged for removal already. Happy April Fool’s everyone.
Despite the fact that the Nikon D3s seemed to be my constant companion for the past two weeks, the Nikon D300s also accompanied me many times where I felt the D3s was overkill, too bulky or I needed a backup camera. The new 70-200mm F2.8 ED VR II was almost always on it. My final thoughts on the camera and its uses at PAX East 2010 are after the jump.
At PAX East, I got to dabble a bit in a form of photography that I’ve gotten out of: celebrity candids. X-Play’s Adam Sessler was around on the floor making his rounds while the fanboys were too busy with booth babes. The Nikon D3s and the 24-70mm F2.8 ED lens were used. How did they hold up?
The review of the Nikon D3s is nearing an end, and of all the cameras I am reviewing at the moment it is the camera that I have been most impressed with so far. I went to PAX East this past weekend and shot a couple of concerts. As you know, I am a concert photographer and have been for some time now. The D3s blew away my expectations for concert shooting. Here’s how.
This past weekend I was PAX East covering the event for my other website, 2D-x.com. The Nikon D3s with 24-70mm F2.8 ED almost never left my side and I’ve really grown attached to the pair. So did the cosplayers and booth babes. Oh, by the way, here’s an image dump of them.
