PowerShot G11 Review – DPReview

Canon PowerShot G11

Highly Recommended (Just)
DPReview has completed their review of the Canon PowerShot G11

Conclusion…
“….The G11 combines some of the best compact camera image quality with excellent levels of manual control, an optical viewfinder, flip-out screen, raw capability, superb battery life, flexible lens range and the ability to mount dedicated flashguns. It may not be the smallest camera out there (in fact it’s one of the largest to use such a small sensor), but, if you can live with the compromises this all-round ability brings, then there’s little that can touch it.”

I’ve played around with one, but not enough to give it a decent review. I know it’s photographer’s point and shoot, but I still wish it had at least 720p video. I guess they have to give us a reason to buy a G12 next year.

Canon does a pretty good job of not screwing up successors (there have been a couple), the G11 holds true to that standard.

$449 G11 @ Adorama
$439 G11 @ Amazon
$439 G11 @ B&H

D5000 vs T1i Head to Head Review

The Review
Here’s a head to head review of Nikon’s D5000 & Canon’s T1i.

Conclusion snippet
“This finds us in a familiar spot. The best camera of the two is really a camera that combines the features we like of both. Another “it depends,” but we find ourselves leaning towards the Nikon D5000 for a few reasons……..”

EF 100mm f/2.8L IS Macro Reviewed – DPReview

Nice lens
DPReview has completed their indepth review of the new L macro. I haven’t had the chance to play around with one yet.

From DPR
“Overall, then, the EF 100mm F2.8 L IS USM Macro is an easy recommendation if you’re looking for exceptional image quality regardless of price. However potential buyers do need to appreciate that the increased cost over its older stablemate appears to pay mainly for the Hybrid IS system, which despite its clever technology isn’t hugely useful for actual close-distance macro work. Of course it’s still a great benefit for general-purpose shooting, which mustn’t be underestimated, and the new Hybrid technology appears to be a step in the right direction; but the marriage between macro and stabilization remains an uneasy one.”

EOS 7D Mini Review

Our first
So here is our first review of a camera.

The review is simple and to the point. There is nothing scientific about what I’ve done. I’m basically giving you my opinion of the camera and what I noticed after a couple of days shooting with it. There are lots of places around the web that will give you insane amounts of samples and tests.

I’m trying to convey what you’ll experience when you walk into a retail store and try the camera out for 10 minutes and what to pay attention to.

I will update the review over time and I’ll look to improve the flow of it.

There is now a new button on the menu for mini reviews. The 7D is now there.

Do check the part about the 8fps, I’m sure this “issue” is going to come up a lot. Thanks to Dan Carr for his insight on the matter.

7D’s in the USA
I have confirmation that Adorama is now shipping 7D’s.

A New 1Ds Mark III Review!

1Ds Mark III is still a good camera!
A newish web site Photocrati has just published a new review of the 1Ds Mark III. The review was done by Jack Neubart (author of Photographer’s Exposure Handbook and contributing editor at Shutterbug).

Summary
There are cameras out there that are faster and smarter, but sometimes what you need is a workhorse camera. And this 1Ds Mark III, my friends, is a workhorse designed to stay the course.
