Just posted! Canon PowerShot G9 review

2007-11-20T15:09:00.001-08:00

Just Posted! Our review of the Canon PowerShot G9, successor to the G7 and flagship of Canon's extensive compact camera range. The G9 is very much a case of evolution, not revolution, with a new 12MP sensor and bigger screen plus a few new features including the one thing missing from its predecessor, RAW shooting. The G7 received a rather mixed response at launch (suffering from a surfeit of expectation as much as anything else), so does its successor restore the 'G' series to its former glory? Check out the in-depth review after the link to find out... Read More

Canon EOS-1D Mark III AF: Canon Europe issues statement

2007-11-20T11:14:00.005-08:00

Zeiss introduces ZF-I industrial lens range for Nikon F-Mount
Zeiss has introduced a new line of lenses aimed at the industrial and scientific sectors but certain to appeal to a certain section of the photographic community with their high performance and retro styling. Zeiss has chosen to release these new optics with Nikon's F-mount as this is "the most commonly used standard camera adapter in the technical area". The first available designs will be the 25mm f/2.8, 28mm f/2 and 35mm f/2 with more to follow. Aside from the rather fetching satin chrome finish and locking screws for focus and aperture, this premium line is also sealed against dust ingress and water spray. Prices and availability have not yet been announced but don't expect them to be cheap. Click through for a peek at the Distagon T* 2.8/25 ZF-I.

The optical lens manufacturing business heats up
Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Mechanics of Materials have developed and optimized the "hot embossing" technology for the manufacturing of glass lenses. Glass lenses can nowadays be found in cameras, automobile headlamps, and a variety of optical sensors. Today, the lenses are produced by "precision molding", whereby the glass is heated together with the forming die and then pressed into shape. The new technology is up to 10 times faster, a good 70 percent cheaper, and produces lenses of comparable quality...

Just posted! Nikon Coolpix P5100 review
Just posted! Our review of Nikon's flagship compact camera. Offering manual exposure controls in a small, magnesium alloy body, the P5100 is probably best considered a 'photographers' compact.' The extra manual controls don't come at the expense of the face detection and vibration reduction features seen on most contemporary compact though. At its launch, Nikon promised improvements over the slightly disappointing P5000 and it is the first compact to have Nikon's Expeed branding applied to it. So can it cut it in a world of competitive compacts and budget-priced DSLRs? Read our review to find out

The other type of fisheye lens available is the diagonal variety which squeezes a 180° angle of view into a standard rectangular format. This new 10mm F2.8 EX DC Fisheye HSM from Sigma is just such a lens. That said, it captures a true 180° vista only when mounted in front of a Nikon DX sensor - users of Canon and Sigma DSLRs make do with 167° and 154° respectively. A built-in lens hood and HSM focusing are here and the lens will focus down to 1.8cm (0.7 in) from the front surface of the lens giving a reproduction ratio of 1:3.3.

The Ricoh GR Digital II carries over the well-received 28mm equiv. lens from its predecessor, matching it to a new 10 megapixel sensor and new GR Engine II image processing system. For those of us with one leg longer than the other there is a new electronic leveling system à la Nikon D3 and the option to shoot TLR-style square images. Performance is said to be improved with a larger buffer memory and halved RAW file-write time with the option of continuous shooting. Battery life is also said to have come on leaps and bounds with up to 370 shots now possible on a charge - the original gave up after 250. The Ricoh GR Digital II will cost £399.99 when it hits UK shops in December.

Samsung NV15 Review
One of three mildly updated additions to Samsung's premium NV series, the sleek NV15 is a super-compact offering a features set that moves well beyond point-and-shoot expectations. Factor in a street price around $250 and the NV15 looks like a clear choice for shooters seeking a pocket-sized camera with big camera features. But some persistent image quality concerns may be enough to mar an otherwise exceptional package.

Essentially an upgraded version of the FZ8 the new model is one of several models released this year to sport a whopping 18x (28-504mm equiv.) zoom lens and an 8MP CCD sensor.
