If you're shooting with a Pentax interchangeable-lens camera made in the last few years, there's a good chance the company has released new firmware for you, among a raft of updates today.
The new firmware covers no less than five different K-mount digital SLRs, as well as the K-01 compact system camera. In all cases, there's only one change...
Nikon leads the way again, with the first "affordable" full-frame digital SLR. Fun to shoot, the Nikon D600 offers as little or as much control as you want, perfect for both amateurs and more advanced photographers; even pros will feel right at home. Its 24.3-megapixel sensor offers excellent detail, and performs well in...
A few months ago we published a series of articles showing that certain Canon lenses on the newest Canon cameras -- the EOS 5D Mark III and EOS-1D X -- autofocused more accurately than on earlier Canon bodies for center-point, single-shot autofocus. These combinations actually offered similar autofocus accuracy to that we could obtain with...
If you've bought a new SLR or mirrorless camera in the last few years, chances are that you've got more than just a great still imaging tool on your hands. Most interchangeable-lens cameras sold recently are also capable of capturing video, and with their relatively large sensors, their output can be much more appealing than what you'd get...
Multiple improvements help the Canon T4i retain its position as one of the easiest digital SLR cameras to recommend. New features like Full HD video with stereo recording, a new 5-frames-per-second frame rate, and multi-shot modes -- including HDR -- are real improvements worth noticing.
It was the Canon T4i's new...
Among digital SLRs, there are two kinds of good. There's the good that makes you think it's time to trade your old SLR in for a newer model, and there's the good that has you seriously considering selling your existing lenses and accessories, and jumping ship to a different lens mount.
On paper, at least, the Pentax K-30 manages the latter....
New firmware today from Pentax Ricoh Imaging improves two of the company's camera models--the Pentax K-30 digital SLR, and the Pentax Q compact system camera.
The Pentax K-30 v1.01 firmware update, says the company, brings improved performance for contrast detection autofocus in live view shooting. It also improves overall stability and performance of the camera, although the...
During the Photokina show, Dave Etchells sat down with Pentax representatives from both the American and European continents to talk about future directions for the company's cameras. Topics for discussion included the medium-format...
After last week's announcement of the affordable full-frame Nikon D600 digital SLR, it's no surprise to see the Canon EOS 6D finally emerge from behind the curtain of rumor and conjecture. The new Canon 6D is another camera designed to appeal to the photographer who wants to step up to full-frame but has found the...
Affordable and easy to use, the Nikon D3200 really doesn't disappoint, providing a small body, improved controls, and a remarkably high-resolution 24.2-megapixel APS-C sensor. We found it capable and pleasantly quiet to shoot, and it's still easy to recommend to novice or advanced amateur alike. We wish the lens stood up...
(UPDATED with daylight images!) Sleep's sometimes overrated, if you ask us camera nuts. While the rest of North America was in bed, Imaging Resource senior editor Shawn Barnett pounded the streets of Manhattan, just-announced full-frame Nikon D600 digital SLR in-hand.
Shawn grabbed us an extensive raft of almost...
Signaling the dawn of the affordable full-frame digital SLR camera, the Nikon D600 features a 24.3-megapixel FX CMOS sensor, an optical viewfinder with 100% coverage, a 3.2-inch 921K-dot LCD, and dual SD card slots for US$2,100, body-only. It's true, $2,100 isn't exactly cheap, but it's more affordable than the...
Yesterday, we published our first gallery shots from a production-level Pentax K-30 digital SLR, an interesting camera that couples a consumer-friendly pricetag with a great pentaprism viewfinder and a weather-sealed body. At the time, we said to expect our lab shots soon.
True to our word, Lab Technician Luke Smith's been hard at work, and we've just posted the first of our...
Over the last few years, there's been something of a revolution in the interchangeable-lens camera world. Since the Nikon D90 introduced photographers to the concept of shooting video with a camera primarily designed for still imaging, almost the entire industry has taken the idea onboard, and it's now the rare interchangeable-lens camera indeed that doesn't offer some form of...
We've just posted our "Still Life" series test shots from a production-level Nikon D4 professional digital SLR, straight from the lab!
Compared to its predecessor, the D4 has a redesigned body and features a raft of updates throughout, bringing improvements both for photographers and videographers alike. Among these are a new 16.2 megapixel FX-format image sensor, 10...
