Preview posted for Canon EOS 40D!
Canon's consumer digital cameras routinely dominate our reader-favorites list, but their digital SLR cameras have lagged a bit lately. Now though, Canon's long-awaited semi-pro SLR has finally arrived: the Canon EOS 40D. With a small sensor upgrade to 10.1 megapixels, the 40D also offers a wider ISO range, a large 3-inch LCD, and 6.5 frames per second in continuous mode. The Canon 40D's AF system also gets a boost, with nine cross-type AF points, as well as a new f/2.8 sensor. An improved Live View mode and interchangeable screens are among the 40D's many other new features. All in all, a great new digital camera from Canon, come read our preview of the Canon EOS 40D for more.

 

Preview posted for Canon EOS-1Ds Mark III!
The Canon EOS 1Ds Mark III leads the pack with the highest resolution full-frame 35mm digital SLR camera on the market, sporting a 21.1 megapixel sensor. While most serious photographers don't need more than 8 to 12 megapixels, there is a set of pro photographers who need every last bit of detail a digital camera can give them; the 1Ds Mark III delivers. Dual DIGIC III processors speed data processing so dramatically that with a fast card the Canon 1Ds Mark III writes as fast as its 10-megapixel sibling, the 1D Mark III. Rebuilt from the ground up, the 1Ds Mark III is a tour de force of digital camera power. See our ongoing preview of the Canon 1Ds Mark III.

Full Review posted for Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ8!
The 7.2 megapixel Panasonic DMC-FZ8 may not have the longest zoom on the block, but its 12x image-stabilized optical zoom has more than enough range to meet most photographers’ needs. And while the telephoto lens may be the driving force behind your interest in this digital camera, the FZ8 has a long list of features that are equally as enticing. Full manual controls and fine-tuning options will please advanced shooters while an easy-to-use Simple mode and 21 Scene modes allow snapshooters to start taking pictures right out of the box. It's the prints that really turned our heads. Logical and convenient controls, intuitive user interface and good performance combine to prove that, unlike a blind date that looks good on paper but disappoints over dinner, the FZ8 is a contender in the superzoom category. See our full review of the Panasonic FZ8 for more.

Full Review posted for Olympus EVOLT E-510!
With just the right combination of features and a mature set of lenses, the Olympus E-510 gives the Four-Thirds system a strong contender in the ongoing battle of the digital SLRs. No longer trying to forge new body shapes, Olympus has crafted the E-510 to fit the hand well and lead the pack with innovative features. While matching the competition's standard specs of a 10 megapixel sensor, 2.5 inch LCD, and 3.1 frames per second, they've included their second generation Live View technology and sweetened the deal with sensor-shift image stabilization. As the Olympus E-410 wooed us with is svelte figure, the E-510 set about making better quality images and proving itself a fit rival for a place in your bag. As with all cameras, there are a few issues, but we were most impressed with the Olympus E-510's edge-to-edge image sharpness, thanks to the good quality kit lens; and its high ISO shots fared well against larger sensor designs. Live View, for its part, can easily be misunderstood, but its virtues are worth discovering, and make the E-510 a compelling choice for the creative photographer.
