I love it when a camera surprises me, and so far the Nikon D7100’s image quality has done just that. I’ve been a skeptic of Nikon’s DX-format (APS-C) 24-megapixel sensor since it was announced. This is actually the first time I’ve had a chance to test it though, and I’m really impressed. I still think

The Pentax K-01 mirrorless camera got a very mixed response when it was announced, a little over a year ago. It was big (pretty much the same size as the Pentax K-30 DSLR) and the funky design, by celebrity designer Marc Newson, was polarizing – either you loved it or you hated it. However, the

The Sony Alpha NEX-7 is Sony’s top-of-the-line compact system camera. It was our 2011 Camera of the Year because it was the first mirrorless camera to offer true pro-level performance. It was a very difficult camera to get ahold of, though. I finally got my hands on one and I’ve been using it for a

I got to use the Sony Alpha NEX-6 for a few days in the fall, at a Sony press event. A full Sony NEX-6 review, based on that experience, has already been published. Unfortunately, I only had the camera for about three days and couldn’t get it in our studio for proper controlled test photos.

The Samsung Galaxy Camera is one of the more interesting cameras to be introduced in 2012. It’s basically a point-and-shoot superzoom with nearly full mobile capabilities. The only thing it can’t do is make a phone call. It’s got a full Android mobile OS so you can install your favorite Android apps like Instagram, Facebook,

In October Sony invited me to attend a camera event in Monterey, California where I got to spend a few days with some of their hottest new cameras. One of those was the 16-megapixel NEX-6, Sony’s latest interchangeable lens mirrorless camera. The NEX-6 was introduced in September at the biennial Photokina tradeshow in Germany. It’s

I got to use the Sony Alpha A99 camera for three days during a Sony cameras press event a few weeks ago in California. I really, really liked it and was very sad when I had to return it. I’ve used a few full-frame cameras this year but the A99 stands out in my mind

Just before Thanksgiving I got Jeff McGrath, a.k.a. “Youtah,” to bring his Nikon D800 over to HQ so we could shoot some studio tests. In case you’re one of the five people who don’t know, the D800 is a 36-megapixel full-frame DSLR – a medium format digital camera challenger, if you will. It has the

The Olympus E-PL5 is the latest mid-range interchangeable lens Pen camera in Olympus’s Micro Four Thirds mirrorless camera line. What makes the E-PL5 different from previous Olympus Pen cameras is it uses the same 16-megapixel sensor as the OM-D E-M5, arguably the best mirrorless camera available right now. That sensor really broke ground for the

Wow. The Pentax K-30 image quality really caught me by surprise. I’ve been using the K-30 DSLR for a few weeks now and I am quite enjoying it. The size is great for packing on the mountain bike and the excellent image quality is outstanding. As a camera manufacturing underdog, Pentax has to position their
