Nikon D300 Review

Leave a reply

LetsGoDigital reviews the Nikon D300 a DX format DSLR (1.5x crop factor) with 12 megapixel CMOS sensor, 51 point AF sensor, 3.0 inch LCD and ISO range of up to 6400.

They write “Nikon produced a fabulous digital SLR camera with the new D300. A camera you can’t get around as an advanced photographer and I can imagine the competition being very impressed with the impact the D300 has made. The new Nikon D300 is a beautiful work-horse and meets the requirements of the professional photographer. It is an ideal camera for those who find the D3 too big or just too expensive, but don’t want to make concessions regarding the quality. It is a superb DSLR camera and it won’t surprise me if people will start swapping brands and find their way to Nikon. I fully understand them and agree with them! The Nikon D300 is recommended without restrictions for it is an exceptional camera!”

Nikon D60 Review

Leave a reply

CNET have reviewed the Nikon D60, an entry level DSLR with 10.2 megapixel sensor and 2.5 inch LCD (230,000 pixels).

” Nikon’s D60 is a good example of the current breed of these dSLRs. It checks in with a healthy 10.2-megapixel CCD sensor, a slightly small-by-comparison 2.5-inch LCD, and an upgraded, optically stabilized kit lens. While those features are nice, the D60 falls behind the competition in several areas in terms of its specifications. The D60 performed well in our lab tests, showing a slight improvement over the D40x in its low-light shutter lag and RAW shot-to-shot times, but was a tad slower on start up, though it’s still plenty fast. As has been the case with other Nikon SLRs recently, the D60 does a very good job of keeping noise in check. However Despite modest improvements in performance and a couple of new features, Nikon’s D60 fails to impress and costs more than some competing models.”

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T300 Reviewed at DP Review

Sony DSC T-300 DP Review have reviewed the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T300, a 10.1 megapixel, ultra compact point and shoot camera with 3.5 inch touch screen LCD and 5x optical zoom lens.

They write: “the T300 has a lot of features that will benefit its target audience. Image stabilization and dynamic range optimization will help produce better photographs for the user that is thinking more about capturing the moment rather than assessing the implications of the scene’s lighting. There are also some useful post-processing effects (In-camera unsharp masking), as well as the flagrantly gimmicky ones (Apply ‘Happy faces’). Our initial impressions of the T300 were not positive – with the function guide adding delays (but no useful information), and a ‘plink’ sound effect that screamed ‘lifestyle accessory,’ rather than ‘camera,’ every time it was touched (which does nothing to solidify the ‘cameraness differentiation’). However, with these two turned off, the camera is transformed into a not-unpleasant, carry-everywhere snap shooter”. Overall the Cybershot DSC-T300 receives an “above average” rating.

The Canon EOS 5D features a 12.8 megapixel Sensor (full frame), AF with 9 points, LCD of 2.5 inches, Magnesium body, DIGIC II and USB 2.0.

Each pixel is a very large 8.2µm, and is therefore able to receive a great deal of light, producing not only excellent resolution but a wide range of ISO settings and low noise levels on a par with the 8.2 megapixel EOS-1D Mark II camera. The DIGIC II Image Processor, DDR SDRAM and 4-channel reading enable an incredible burst performance of 60 Large/Fine JPEGs or 17 RAW images at 3 fps.
