Here’s a fancy studio shot of the new Nikon D40.  I’m more than likely going to review this camera if I can get one soon.  Hopefully, Nikon is better about release dates than Sony, (read below) so it should be the first part of December, then a couple weeks for the full review to appear, which will naturally include …

Check out my in-depth review of the Minolta AF 28mm F/2.8 lens.  I appears to be the same as the re-badged Sony, selling for $249, though the Minolta sells on ebay for around the $50 mark.  This lens may not be the most useful, but it won’t hurt you to have a look:)…

Nikon announces the new D40, a downgrade to the D50, but I think consumers will benefit in the long run, meaning excellent image quality and noise reduction, even at high ISOs for a good price.  It’s nice to see a company go for quality instead of quantity in this day and age.  Check the quick specs below or go…

Before you is yet another lens I’ll be reviewing soon.  My limited use so far has revealed a pretty decent lens, but we won’t judge it until the full review.  I’d like to get my hands on the new Carl Zeiss 16-80mm but there seems to be a problem getting it to market.  Sony’s website said they would take …

I’ve finally completed the Sony A100 review.  It’s a long, but interesting one, so check it out here.  

Sigma has come out with a few new lenses of interest.  They’re a great alternative to factory lenses, and usually much less expensive.  

Sigma 10-20mm F/4-5.6 EX DC HSM

 I thought the G’s were gone forever!  Canon introduced several cameras today, the most interesting is the new powershot G7.  After reading the press release, I’m not sure where this camera will fit, especially with the $600 price tag. The G6 produced some great images for a fixed lens camera, but it appears the G7 is similar to the…
