Wow, It’s July! As you know, I’m way behind on my lens reviews I promised. I’ve been trying to rent a Nikon 105mm macro lens for the past month, but they’re always “out” and available at some point later. So I’m going to change the order of things starting off (hopefully next weekend) with a review of the Sony …
Notice the very pretty cameras below. Kodak announced a new line of low-end point and shoot models with an “M” designation. It’s funny, but I recall just a couple of weeks ago Kodak was saying they were getting out of the unprofitable “low-end” digital camera market. I’m not sure what low-end means in the world of big-business, but these …
I’ve been busy the last few weeks, I’ll post some photos in the upcoming “Idle chat room” link on the nav bar. First up, I’ve got some lens reviews in the works. I’m going to compare the Nikon 105mm F/2.8G VR micro lens to my Sigma 105mm F/2.8 macro, which costs half as much, that’ll be interesting, yup, I’m …

I’ve finally finished the full review of the Olympus SP-550 UZ. I’m also replacing the sneak peak or pre-review page with the full review page, just so nobody gets mixed up—like I did. Check out the concise review filled with useful information such as; image quality, overall camera performance, full lens tests and the final conclusion at the …
Here’s the much anticipated full review of the Sony Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T* DT 16-80mm F/3.5-4.5 ZA zoom. As usual, there’re a few surprises included. I’ve also thrown in a comparison of the difference between 16mm-18mm (24mm-27mm equiv.) by using a couple of pictures, which appear at the very bottom of the review. If you’re interested in throwing down …
Here’s a new release from the good people at Canon. It’s the Canon Powershot S5 IS. It appears they’ve packed another 2 megapixels on the little sensor, added a hotshoe and stepped up to a 2.5″ LCD, aside from that it’s the old S3 IS with the same old lens. Hint for Canon—the trend is wide angle, 28mm or …
