Advantages: Compatibility with Nikon lenses. Sharpness with high sensitivity
Disadvantages: The approach is slow and vague.

...this type. The sensor Fujifilm supports a sensitivity equivalent to ISO 1600 with a sharpness greater than that of other cameras in its class. As for whites this camera has a menu shortcut on the back that allows us to vary the tone, from tungsten lights to fluorescent, daylight and cloudy days. It also has an automatic position, but I would not suggest using it (usually wrong, and it is difficult to change later). The same menu allows us to monitor ...
...saturation ... This allows vary without taking away the camera out of hand. The weakness is the low speed when making continuous shots (just over 2 fps), high consumption of batteries and the inaccuracy of the proactive approach, especially in position C. Its strong point is the price, nearly half the professional digital reflex Nikon and Canon. ... Read review

...most jaded reviewer. The new Sony DSLR-A350 is one of them. I've watched for months as Sony tantalized the press with promises of a Live View for D-SLRs that actually works like the "live view" of point-and-shoot digicams where you pick the camera up, frame your shot through the LCD screen and snap the shutter. As DT readers well know, I feel Live View as implemented by other makers (Canon, Nikon, Olympus et al) is a joke. To work properly, the camera ...
...Power Sellers? Six, 16, 60? Sony felt the same way and decided to create a Live View for the rest of the world. Not only that, the new DSLR-A350 has a 14.2-megapixel imager, built-in sensor shift stabilization and loads of other goodies such as an articulating 2.7-inch screen. When this one arrived, the battery was quickly put in the charger so a test drive was just a few short hours away. ... Read review

...sure the pop-up flash will cause a few raised eyebrows), and gets you the full pro service from Nikon. And the pricing (around $2999) reflects this; anyone hoping for an 'affordable' semi-pro full frame Nikon SLR will have to wait until the cost of producing such large sensors falls considerably. ...

...D40 (which replaced the first Nikon 'starter' model, the D50). The original D40 was a hugely important camera for Nikon and can be given a lot of the credit for the resurgence in Nikon's fortunes at the volume end of the SLR market (which had been totally dominated by Canon since the launch of the EOS 300D / Digital Rebel). The D40's success (which continued long after the D40X made its swift appearance only 6 months later) isn't hard to explain; ...
...of excellent results. It was also a camera that proved cameras do not sell on megapixels alone (even at launch its 6MP resolution was far from 'class leading'). As with the D40 and D40X, the new D60 doesn't have an built-in focus drive motor which means it can auto focus only with lenses which have their own drive motor (AF-S and AF-I lenses). The lack of a drive motor can be seen by the missing mechanical focus drive pin on the lens mount (see ... Read review

Canon has today announced a new compact digital SLR, the twelve megapixel EOS 450D (Digital Rebel XSi). On the surface a very similar camera to the EOS 400D, however there are a range of significant improvements; twelve megapixel CMOS sensor, 3.0" LCD monitor, Live View with both AF modes (contrast-detect and passive), 14-bit processing and RAW, spot metering, improved AF, 3.5 fps continuous shooting, a larger viewfinder, SD/SDHC storage and a new ...
..."The EOS 450D bears the fruits of more than 20 years of ongoing investment into EOS," said Mogens Jensen, Head of Canon Consumer Imaging, Europe. "This camera continues Canon's policy of taking technologies proven in the professional arena and putting them within reach of a wider market of amateur photographers." ... Read review
