D3S review by Michael Weber
"The great plus of the D3S is its high-ISO capability (above ISO 2,500) and only if this field of ISO 2,500 and higher is your standard working condition you might find legitimation of purchasing such a body." |
Rock Light
by Dave Black
"The learning continues this month as I pack up my gear and hit the road again in my quest to photograph Sports Acton with SB-900 Speedlights. With the success of Speedlighting kayaking on the Arkansas River I decided to stay with the adventure sport theme and reach for new heights." |
Coolpix L110 review at Imaging-Resource
"My biggest gripe is the incredible slowness of the Nikon L110. One frame every three seconds is excruciating, and the Nikon L110 can take longer depending on the card you use. I couldn't help growling as I waited for the camera to finish saving files and the black screen to pop back to life. Image quality is reasonable, and the zoom lens does have a good reach, but the cycle time will really disappoint most users." |

Nikon at Photokina - the TOP
"Expected are the "P7000," a premium small-sensor digicam that will compete with the Canon G11, and the "D7000," said to be the replacement for the D90." |
Carl Zeiss Distagon T* 3.5/18 ZF review by Oleg Novikov (NikonLinks Russian and Chinese editor)
"...is a great optic and its performance is perfectly in line with what one expects from Carl Zeiss. The only gripe that I have is that it is a relatively slow lens but, even so, still has very strong vignetting wide–open (but then again, many ultra wide angle lenses have this quality)." |
Joe McNally's new book: The Life Guide to Digital Photography
"LIFE is strange, right? And wonderful. It is, “Life Its Own Self,” as Dan Jenkins once famously wrote. I shot my first job for the venerable picture magazine that was once everybody’s TV in 1984. Became a staff photographer in 1994. Last one in a series of 90 staffers. Now, 26 years after my first frame, I just finished another project that, I’m proud to say, goes to print sporting that famous red and white logo." |
Color Management in Adobe Lightroom by EarthboundLight
"As an application geared toward photographers, it's no wonder that Adobe Lightroom supports color management. Most of how Lightroom handles this is automatic without you needing to do anything. But that's not true for everything." |
Sony Alpha NEX-5 vs Olympus E-P2 vs Nikon D90 High ISO Noise - CameraLabs
"What's really impressive though is how the NEX stacks up against the Nikon D90, which has lead high ISO performance in its class since launch. In our sequence below there's not a massive difference between them, but we'd say the NEX enjoys a small lead over this formidable rival. To match the D90 would have been impressive enough, but to exceed its performance – even by a minor amount – is an impressive feat from any camera, especially one that's a fraction of the size." |
Sigma releases 70-200mm F2.8 OS for Nikon - DPReview

Coolpix S8000 review at TrustedReviews
"While it may lack all of the contemporary bells and whistles, the Nikon Coolpix S8000 is a solidly made and well designed camera that offers a wide range of easy-to-use high-end features and produces reliably good results in a wide range of situations. It is a superb all-rounder and excellent value for money." |

The New Lens Dilemma by Moose Peterson
"The other main questions I’ve been receiving is, “Why do you want the 24-120 and not the 85f1.4?” I want them both but business wise, I only need the 24-120, here’s my thinking why." |

Nikon D90, Canon EOS 550D & Pentax K7 Comparison Test Digital SLR Review - ePhotozine
"But back to overall image quality and performance and the winner has to be the Nikon D90, very, very closely followed by the Canon 550D and lagging some way behind the pair, the Pentax K7." |

Adobe Lightroom's Equivalent of "Save For Web" by EarthboundLight
"Comparatively speaking, Photoshop has been around for a long time. Few can say they've mastered it, but even beginning users quickly get used to saving JPEG's via "Save for Web." Even when Adobe renamed the option to "Save for Web and Devices," this didn't confuse many for very long. But if you've started using Adobe Lightroom, you've probably noticed that neither of these commands exists on the menus in this program. But Lightroom is actually more than capable with regard to saving JPEG images for web or email. You just have to know where they hid this feature." |
