Micro, mirrorless cameras are upon us, with sales for the pioneers — Olympus and Panasonic — soaring as people welcome the small, clever, interchangeable lens models with open arms. Nikon and Canon have dragged their feet on this evolution with the former only now recognising the market demand with a pair of models that bear [...]
Macro shooting was one of my earliest passions with a film camera, when the ordeal of capturing a small coin, bug or flower was a major project, involving a deep understanding of exposure and the effect of racking a lens far out from its ‘normal’ range. If your camera of choice was not an SLR [...]
For me, this camera is a bit of a puzzle. Why? Having just spent a week or so with the Olympus PEN E-P3, and coming away very impressed, I wondered why the company launched another model that seems to be virtually identical, except for price and some minor mods. I am now eagerly awaiting the [...]
To my mind, author John Neel is right in his belief that “Today’s photographers are looking for fresh ways to reintroduce creativity and expression into their work. The book explores “unconventional imaging methods” that can put the fizz back into digital technology that has possibly demanded too much in the way of comprehension of the [...]
In spite of industry leaders Canon not following the trend, Panasonic and Olympus are certainly making hay with their Micro Four Thirds models as we watch Nikon’s exciting entrée with interest. There is a demand for a faux DSLR that doesn’t break your back nor your budget and still allows access to a fine range [...]
Three months before its official release the photographic press caught its first sight of this new model. This was paralleled by close looks at two related models, near-identical in specs, but differing radically in appearance: welcome also to the Lite E-PL3 and Mini E-PM1. Olympus considers the E-P3 to be the flagship model of its [...]
I’ve owned an Epson 1290 A3 printer for some years now and have loved it like a brother! The 1290 weighs 8.4 kgs with overall dimensions of 609x414x766mm (WHD). Colour: basic beige. The R3000 is quite a different beast: heavy as lead at 15kg and measuring 616x228x369mm, it’s styled in black. Not my favourite colour [...]
You’ll find this model on Sony’s Web site by looking in the DSLR department. But a DSLR it ain’t! The entry level Sony Alpha A35 has no flipping mirror! Instead, it has a fixed, semi-reflective mirror placed in the light path that transmits 66.66 per cent of the light to the CMOS sensor in the [...]
Causing more stir than it would seem to deserve, the Fujifilm Finepix X100 may not by itself cause waves in the retail market, but many of its features will surely be taken up by other makers. They just make an awful lot of sense! Snatching the X100 from Fujifilm I was, at first, all fingers [...]
Soon after Sony introduced its first NEX models I have to say I got a bit of a shock to learn that one of the models had hit the dust. Apparently, the cheaper model, Sony NEX-3, had not found favour with buyers and, less than a year old, the camera was removed from the catalogue. [...]
