Nikon
D90 -
August 27, 2008 |
|
Nikon has announced the D90: this camera has a
12 megapixel APS-C sensor, 4.5FPS x 7 RAW (it
is not a lot, but it is an amateur camera),
3" LCD, and a big innovation: movie mode.
The D90 is able to record movies with audio at
1280x720px resolution! I think that it is a
bit step forward, and that in future all
cameras with be able to take both video and
photo.

Canon

Canon has announced the 40D successor: the new
Canon 50D has a lot more resolution - 15
megapixels - and ISO sensitivities up to
12800, for the first time in a Canon camera.
The price will be $1400; details and
discussion here: Canon
50D.
Other than that, Canon has announced a
18-200 IS - but it looks pretty expensive
($700) and it has not USM motor... Details and
discussion: Canon

Five Lenses For Nature Photography
-
August 22, 2008 |
|
I use only five lenses for my photos: with
this lineup, I can photograph almost every
nature subject, from landscapes to macro and
wildlife. This is not the perfect lineup for
everyone - the right lenses depend by your
necessities and you personal preferences - but
this is what works well for me, and it gives
an idea of a good "all around"
lineup... The article, updated and improved,
is online! Five

The
camera, update -
August 14, 2008 |
|
The camera is the "earth" of
the system. To choose the right camera, you
have to consider various things: the first is
surely the system itself, that is even more
important than a single camera. With time, it
is likely that you will upgrade the camera
with a more advanced model, while it is not
easy to change system if you discover that the
one you have choosen doesn't satisfies your
necessities...

Micro 4/3 and Nikon D90 -

Olympus has announced the innovative
"Micro Four Thirds" system, that has
the same 13x18mm sensor of the current 4/3
system, but it has no reflex mirror and no viewfinder;
the AF is performed with the main image sensor;
it promises much lighter and smaller lenses
and it works both as still and video camera! More
info: Olympus announces Micro 4/3 -
details and discussion
Other than that, the specifications of the
upcoming Nikon D90 has been revealed: Nikon

news is for sure the video mode, for the first
time in a SLR!

I have added a short paragraph about the 1000D

have also addes a paragraph about the best
value for money - I have often been asked
"What is a good all around lineup for
serious nature photography?", and at the

July 15, 2008 |

Hasselblad has announced its new 50 megapixel
medium format camera just one week ago, and
now Phase One announced a MF back with even
higher resolution: 60 megapixels!
The good news is that to achieve this
unparalleled resolution Phase One has not just
reduced the pixel size - they use a physically
larger sensor, that measures 40x54mm.

Nikon D3: the new high ISO king - June

Until one year ago, the noise has been the
Achille's heel of Nikon cameras. The new Nikon
D3, announced in September 2007, has been a
revolutionary improvement for Nikon: its 35mm
fullframe sensor may be the very best on the
SLR market, in terms of ISO performance. I
have had the possibility to test the Nikon D3...

variety of flora and fauna (Florida has almost
half of all bird species of the Unites
States!). From May 03 to May 23, I have
visited many areas of Florida with my friend

worldwide know Everglades National Park, then
