Successor to the wildly popular Canon EOS 350D is finally here. Although existing 350D users might not feel very compelled to upgrade, I suppose it is necessary to counter the rivals’ release such as the Nikon D80 and Sony Alpha A100. Perhaps the most innovative feature of the Canon EOS 400D is the Self [...]

Sigma has announced today a new telephoto lens that will definitely woo many SLR users. The new Sigma 50-150mm f2.8 APO DC is a fast f2.8 telephoto zoom lens that weighs just 27.2oz (770g). That is almost half of the weight of current f2.8 telephoto zoom offerings (such as Sigma’s very own 70-200mm f2.8 DG, [...]

This new Nikkor lens comes as a kit lens for the Nikon D80. Looks like an improvement to the D70’s 18-70mm kit lens, in terms of zoom range and equivalent spacing between each focal length.

The curtains are finally drawn for the new Nikon D80 DSLR! Other than the exterior button changes and rearrangement that we’ve went through some time ago here, these are the rest of the features: 10.2-megapixel DX format CCD sensor (which means like D50 and D70, no metering with primitive lenses). 0.18sec start-up time. No big deal, just [...]

Non-pro photographers looking to go into DSLR will be happy to hear that Pentax has announced their new K100D and K110D DSLR cameras. These two entry-level DSLR are identical, except that K100D features the very useful Shake Reduction technology.

It’s about time Sony enters the digital SLR (DSLR) realm. Following Sony’s recent buy-out of Konica-Minolta, the electronics giant has given the branding name of ‘Alpha’ (signified by the ‘alpha’ sign pictured on the right) to its DSLR line of cameras.
