Sony Alpha A350 Review at Camera Labs

Camera Labs have reviewed the Sony Alpha A350 a 14.2 megapixel (CCD) DSLR with a 2.7 inch tilting LCD and live view.

They write: "The Sony Alpha A350 is a feature-packed DSLR with a compelling price tag. With high resolution, built-in stabilisation, Live View and a flip-out screen, it ticks the boxes of most new DSLR buyers. Sony’s fuss-free Live View is also arguably the best implementation yet for general consumers. It’s quick, quiet and offers uncompromised auto-focusing performance. Sure the coverage and accuracy isn’t the same as systems which use the main sensor, but this will only bother the more technical photographers out there…. Despite a few issues which will annoy technical photographers, the Alpha A350 is an excellent DSLR with great features and arguably one of the best Live View implementations to date. Given all it offers for the asking price we can easily award it our Highly Recommended rating.”

Canon EOS 1Ds MKIII vs Nikon D300 vs Nikon D3

Luminous-Landscape compares the Canon 1Ds MKIII VS Nikon D300 VS Nikon D3 and write: “Sad to say, D300 is not in the same low noise league as either the D3 or the 1Ds MKIII. Noise is more apparent, and though the exposure was 1/50th second vs the D3’s 1/60th second (essentially identical), the image was overall quite a bit darker, indicating that the ISO was likely not what the camera indicated it was; maybe ISO 1000 in reality, and the apparent dynamic range somewhat less as well. The D3 Nikon is now back in the IQ game. Canon has enjoyed a deserved reputation for high image quality, especially at high ISO. But now with the D3 Nikon has upped the ante, producing a camera that appears to offer lower noise than Canon (at least against the flagship 1Ds MKIII), and higher available speeds as well.”

Canon EOS 1Ds Mark III Review by LetsGoDigitial

LetsGoDigital has reviewed the Canon EOS-1Ds Mark III a 21.1 megapixel full-frame digital SLR with 5 fps shooting, 45-point AF system and 3.0-inch LCD display with Live View.

They write; “The Canon EOS-1Ds Mark III offers you every possibility to capture the ultimate picture. The resolution is outstanding and you will be amazed as to what detail is captured in the picture. Also thanks to the massive dynamic range. High contrasts are captured without a problem, moreover at low ISO sensitivities. If you want to shoot at environmental light, the camera won’t disappoint you. Noise is not a problem anymore, although there is still some improvement possible in the highest ISO level. As far as quality is concerned, I think we are reaching the top…. the Canon EOS-1Ds Mark III is currently one of the best high resolution D-SLR cameras that you can get. I’d say; go for it, capture some nice shots and enjoy everything the Canon EOS-1Ds Mark III produces. You won’t regret it. Absolutely top of the top!”

Canon EOS Rebel XSi Review

Canon EOS Rebel XSiCNET has reviewed the Canon EOS Rebel XSi (EOS 450D) which features a 12.2 megapixel CMOS image sensor, live view, 3.0 inch LCD, optical image stabilization, and light sensitivity from ISO 100 – 1600.

They write: "the Canon EOS Rebel XSi comes as a welcome change, and a model worthy of upgrading from your old Rebel XT. It may have a typical, uninspired body design and modest feature set, but where it really counts–performance and image quality–the XSi manages to stand out from the crowd. On the other hand, it lacks common perks Sony, Pentax, and Olympus include in their cameras, like in-body mechanical stabilization and a wireless flash controller in the body, a feature that I occasionally find quite useful…. The inclusion of an image-stabilizing kit lens doesn’t quite compensate, since additional optically stabilized lenses tend to cost more in the long run. The XSi’s sensitivity range also tops out at ISO 1600, when others routinely reach as high as ISO 3200…. Though it’ll run you a few bucks more than competitors such as the Sony Alpha DSLR-A200 or the Nikon D60, the Canon EOS Rebel XSi will deliver slightly better performance and noticeably better photo quality in return, making it a worthwhile trade-off.”

Canon EOS 1Ds Mark III Review

Canon EOS 1Ds Mark3PopPhoto reviews the Canon EOS-1Ds Mark III a 21.1 megapixel full-frame digital SLR with 5 fps shooting, 45-point AF system and 3.0-inch LCD display with Live View.

They write; “Color accuracy on the 1Ds Mark III also lands in the top tier, with an Excellent rating based on an average Delta E of 6.98 (compared with 7.3 on the 1D Mark III and 7.28 on the Nikon D3, also Excellent ratings.) The color accuracy remained similarly high all the way up through ISO 1600. If high-speed action or low-light shooting is your specialty (and you’re already a Canon shooter), the EOS-1D Mark III is a better choice, as it boasts a blazing burst rate of up to 10 frames per second (compared with the 1Ds Mark III’s 6 fps) and higher ISOs, up to 6400. Still, for image quality and fine detail (at ISO 100 to 1600) that rivals or exceeds that of many medium-format systems, the EOS-1Ds Mark III is the only DSLR in its class.″

Olympus E3 Review

Olympus E3Lets Go Digital have reviewed the Olympus E3, a digital SLR camera featuring 10.1 megapixel Live MOS image sensor (with live preview), five frames per second shooting, 2.5 inch LCD (able to be tilted and swiveled), 11 point auto focus sensor and shutter speed range up to 1/8000.

They write: “The image quality the camera is offering is excellent, although not belonging to the top. At high ISO noise is visible and the dynamic range decreases fast. It requires correct exposure but the E-3 tends to overexpose somewhat. Colour reproduction is fine and so is the sharpness. All in all the Olympus E-3 impressed greatly. It is a very well thought-out camera with emphasis on the user. That doesn’t go for many other camera brands. I won’t be surprised to see many E-1 users making the step to the Olympus E-3 after having waited all this time. Just as potential buyers from competitive brands will probably start looking at the Olympus and get convinced. I am also curious as to how the Olympus E-3 will be received by the professional photographer. The Olympus E-3 is a real photo-beast, meant for the real stuff, very impressive!”.
