'So Olympus is trying again to lure this lucrative audience to its Micro Four Thirds camp, this time with the more consumer-friendly designed and priced E-PL1.
'
'And in the eyes of many consumers the E-PL1 will best its more expensive bigger brother due to the fact that, for the first time, Olympus has included a built-in, pop-up flash, activated by a thumb switch situated at the top left-hand edge of the camera back. '
'the E-PL1 feels sturdy and easy to tote around from bag to beach and back again.'
'Camera has a "retro" look and design, which is appealing.'
'More unusually still at this level, the K-x’s light sensitivity settings can be boosted to a semi-pro equivalent ISO 12,800 for flash free photography in the near dark and 16:9 widescreen format HD video recording – at 1280 x 720 pixels, 24fps, rather than Full HD 1920 x 1080 – marking this out as an affordable all-in-one device. '
'Small and light, the Pentax K-x seems like a well-built, no-nonsense digital SLR'
'The new K-x felt sturdy.'
'The camera also features a new 'cross-processing' mode on top of an already impressive range of filters and processing options. '
'all the exposures seem brighter, regardless of metering setting, then they were with the D300.'
'Well-made.'
'lovely, vivid images'
'The button layout is extremely similar to what was used on the D300, so anyone familiar with that camera should have a relatively easy time learning the control interface on the D300S.'
'Once focused, shot-to-shot time typically takes about 0.4 second for RAW or JPEG, and adding flash recycling time bumps it to only 0.7 second, which is very good for any class. '
'The 12.2-megapixel Canon Digital Rebel XSi, which targets entry-level digital SLR shooters , has all the features that novices expect--as well as an alluring array of advanced options that will appeal to more seasoned photographers. '
'the Canon EOS 450D comes as a welcome change, and a model worthy of upgrading from your old 350D .'
'The Canon ESO 450D comes as a welcome change, and a model worthy of upgrading from your old 350D . '
'The D700's solid, weather-sealed magnesium-alloy body is ergonomically sound, providing good balance in the hand thanks to its grip and the positioning of the controls on the back.'
'The camera is ready to shoot as soon as you turn on the power switch so it's hard to argue with that first figure.'
'Activate the Olympus E-420 and you're ready to shoot in an instant.'
'This camera succeeds the E-410 and carries with it the legacy of being extremely portable.'
'Some of the changes and enhancements seem to compensate for the white-balance and exposure problems we encountered with the older model, such as the new Shadow Adjustment Technology and improved white-balance algorithms.'
