NIKON D7000

The Nikon D7000 is a 16.2 megapixel digital single-lens reflex camera (DSLR) model announced by Nikon on September 15, 2010. It is a new class of camera placed between the semi-professional D300S and the 'prosumer' D90. It completes Nikon's new consumer range of the D3100, D5000, and now Nikon D7000.

The D7000 offers numerous professional-style features over the D90, such as magnesium alloy body construction, weather and moisture sealing, a 2,016-segment color exposure meter, built-in timed interval exposure features, 39 rather than 11 focus points, dual SD memory card slots, virtual horizon (in live view and viewfinder) and compatibility with older autofocus and manual-focus AI and AI-S Nikon F-mountlenses (including three-segment viewfinder manual focus indication). At introduction the only Nikon DSLR with higher sensor resolution than the D7000 was the 24-megapixel Nikon D3X.

The camera's image sensor is a single-plate complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor-based integrated circuit. It has approximately 8.5 million total pixels. It has an RGB primaryBayer filter. A non-removable anti-aliasing filter (optical low-pass filter) is located in front of the image sensor.

The shutter is an electronically-controlled focal-plane shutter. Its maximum speed is 1/8,000 of one second. Soft-touch shutter release occurs via an electromagnetic signal.

OLYMPUS E-3

The Olympus E-3 is Olympus Corporation's previous flagship camera, positioned as a professional DSLR camera. It is the successor to the Olympus E-1, which was launched in November 2003. The E-3, originally codenamed Olympus E-P1, was announced on 17 October 2007.^[1][2] The E-3, like the other cameras in the Olympus E-series, conforms to the Four Thirds System. It is currently being succeeded by the Olympus E-5 professional DSLR flagship camera.

[edit]Features

The E-3 has several novel features, including a live preview full articulating screen, autofocus in live view mode, the ability to capture a scene with wide dynamic range using an image processing method called shadow adjustment technology^[3] and the ability to control up to three wireless flash groups without external transmitters. The camera is also fully weatherproof even with the popup flash in the "up" position.

The camera, with the new SWD (ultrasonic motor) lenses, is expected to appeal to professional users that want a rugged, portable and lightweight camera body with quality lenses and class leading autofocus.

Additional features include:

• Fast autofocus (Olympus claims that this was the world's fastest autofocus at the time the camera was released (when used with the Zuiko Digital ED 12–60mm 1:2.8–4 SWD lens @ 60mm, as of October 2007).
• 100% viewfinder with ×1.15 magnification with a 50 mm lens (as 25 mm is the "standard" lens on the 4/3 format, this is equivalent to ×0.57 in 35 mm format)
• External white balance sensor
• 5 frames per second (frame/s) capture speed
• 11 point biaxial cross AF sensor that works at −2 EV at ISO 100
• In-body image stabilization achieved by moving the sensor (thus, it works with any lens)
• Environmentally sealed magnesium alloy camera body
• Dust reduction system (Supersonic Wave Filter)
• Shutter tested to 150,000 cycles
• Internal Viewfinder shutter
• 'X' sync and External remote ports

The camera is compatible with existing BLM-1 batteries used in the E-1, E-300, E-330, E-500 and E-510.

The camera was reviewed by Digital Photography Review in February 2008 by Simon Joinson.^[4]

The E-3 is equipped with a better sensor than other DSLRs marketed by Olympus at the time of its release, allowing the user to operate at higher ISO settings without producing as much noise.

Along with other Olympus 4/3rds bodies, the E-3 has a very 'maintenance free' approach due to it having on-demand pixel mapping, the SSWF 'dust shaker', vignetting and distortion correction either in-camera or during editing with Olympus software. Olympus have also implemented on-demand firmware updates for all their bodies, lens and flash units.

CANON EOS 500D

The Canon EOS 500D is a 15.1 megapixel digital single-lens reflex camera, announced by Canon on 25 March, 2009. It was released in May 2009.^[1][2] It is known as the EOS Kiss X3 in Japan, and as the EOS Rebel T1i in North America. It continues the Rebel line of mid-range DSLR cameras, is placed by Canon as the next model up from the EOS 450D, and has been supplemented (and may be superseded) by the EOS 550D (T2i).

It is the third digital single-lens reflex camera to feature a movie mode and the second to feature full 1080p video recording, albeit at the rate of 20 frames/sec. The camera shares a few features with the high-end Canon EOS 5D Mark II, including movie mode,Live preview, and DiG!C 4. Like the EOS 450D and EOS 1000D, it uses SDHC media storage, and is the third EOS model to use that medium instead of CompactFlash. Like the EOS 5D Mark II, video clips are recorded as MOV (QuickTime) files withH.264/MPEG-4 compressed video and linear PCM audio.^[3]

CANON EOS D30

The Canon EOS D30 is a discontinued 3.1-megapixel professional digital single lens reflex camera (DSLR) body, initially announced by Canon on May 17, 2000. It is part of the Canon EOS line of cameras and uses the EF lens mount. The EOS D30 was Canon's first "home grown" digital SLR^[1]. Before that point Canon had a contract with Kodak to rebrand the Kodak 2-megapixel DCS 520 as Canon EOS D2000 and the 6-megapixel DCS 520 as Canon EOS D6000 digital SLRs, which combined Kodak digital backs and Canon camera bodies^[2].

The D30 was aimed at the prosumer market, and was intended to occupy the gap between the high-end consumer-market Canon PowerShot Pro70, and Canon's first professional digital SLR, the Canon EOS-1D^{[citation needed]}, which was released in November 2001. Despite the D30's prosumer origin, reviews frequently compared the D30 to the Nikon D1^[2][3], which was aimed at the professional market.

The D30 was succeeded by the 6.3-megapixel D60 in 2002.

[edit]Features

CANON EOS 60D

The Canon EOS 60D is a digital single-lens reflex camera from Canon. It is part of the Canon EOS line of cameras and succeeds the EOS 50D. It was publicly announced on August 26, 2010.

Main new features in the two-digit Canon line include increased resolution and ISO range, an articulating screen (the first Canon DSLR to have one), full-HD video capabilities and in-camera post-processing functions for the images. Estimated Retail Price: $1,099.00^[2]

[edit]Changes from 50D

Compared to the EOS 50D the following changes:

• Resolution increase to 17.9 megapixels (50D has 15.1)
• Maximum Sensitivity increased to ISO 6400 ISO (50D has max 3200 ISO)
• Video recording, with same controls as the 550D
• Manual control of audio recording (Same as newer firmware on 5D MkII)
• Articulating screen with a slightly higher resolution in 3:2 ratio (50D has 4:3)
• Lower maximum burst frame rate of 5.3 fps (50D maximum is 6.3 fps)
• SD/SDHC/SDXC card slot (50D uses CompactFlash)
• Smaller and lighter polycarbonate resin with glass fibre on aluminium chassis (50D has Magnesium alloy body)
• Wireless Speedlite control
• Lack of AF micro-adjustment feature (included in 50D)
• Redesign of controls – multi-controller has been relocated to center of quick control dial; top buttons of 60D control only one setting; locking mode dial
• Electronic level that can be viewed in the viewfinder, rear LCD monitor, and top LCD panel
• LP-E6 battery, as used in the 5D MkII and 7D
• Lack of PC socket for Flash Synchronization

Digital Photography Review described the changes as representing the move from 'semi-pro'/'prosumer' to 'enthusiast' ^[3] due to the reduction in some features; however the pentaprism viewfinder and iconic rear control wheel remain, as does the top informational LCD. The slightly smaller body retains the more comfortable grip of the two-digit Canon line.

Nikon D90

The Nikon D90 is a 12.3 megapixel digital single-lens reflex camera model announced by Nikon on August 27, 2008. It is aprosumer model that replaces the Nikon D80 (which itself succeeded the Nikon D70 and Nikon D70s), fitting between the company's entry-level and professional DSLR models. Nikon gives the D90's Estimated Selling Price in the U.S. as $899.95 US for the body only^[2] and as $1299.99 with the Nikkor AF-S DX 18-105mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR, which by itself sells for $399.95. Actual prices are generally lower.^[3][4]

In May 2009, the D90 won the TIPA European Photo & Imaging Award, in the "Best D-SLR Advanced" category.^[5] As of November 2010, the D90 remains in production, fitting between the Nikon D5000 and Nikon D7000 in the company's lineup of DSLR cameras.
