Just sold the D7000. Hmmmm D600 or D7100?
New Nikon D7100 Announced
Nikon has announced its new D7100 as its new mid-level, APS-C flagship camera. Although outwardly similar to the D7000, the new camera is said to have substantially revamped innards. Most importantly, the all-new 24-megapixel CMOS sensor has no anti-aliasing filter, joining the Pentax K-5IIs. ...
That Green dot works fine on my Nikon, but having IS on a prime. Sweet.
The Canon EF 35mm f/2 IS USM Lens
How the world conspired to make me buy a new lens: A review of Canon's new image-stabilized 35mm ƒ/2 lens By James Leynse My advice: never get a new camera. I have been happy with the Canon 5D MKII and a collection of shift lenses, zooms, and the Voigtländer 40mm pancake lens. The camera ha...
I believe any Nikon SLR can use Ai lenses. I use them all the time on my F.
[Yes, AI lenses are back-compatible, but they won't auto index. Here's a page explaining the ins and outs of AI and AIS. --Mike]
Nikon Old, Nikon New
So this is a pretty decent eBay product shot, isn't it? Camera's a bit dirty. Close enough for government work, as we used to say in D.C. You can read the serial number. I have a bunch of schtuff to list (schtuff—that's a technical term) on eBay, and I wanted to shoot it with the D800. But I ...
Another thought. This new Fuji looks very much like Panasonic's first foray into DSLR land the infamous DMC-L1.
Fuji Announces 'Sweet Spot' X-E1
Fuji has been on a real roll lately, so anything it does is bound to be interesting. So, Goldie, the X10 is just a bit too...point'n'shooty? The X100 is a bit too much of a "Repleica," too fixed-prime-lens-y? The X-Pro1 (even with B&H's current $300 off deal) too fat-wallety? Well, Fuji's been...
I'm thinking they nailed it.

I hate the size but the Nikon D7000 does it all for me.
I Am NOT Saying the Fuji X-Pro1 Sucks...
By Ctein Those of you who are regular readers of my columns know that I've been kinda sorta of shopping around for a new camera. My Olympus Pen E-P1 still works just fine and produces files of quite satisfactory quality. But after four years, camera technology has progressed enough that there ar...
Can we sit somewhere in between? I, too, am turned off by the perfection of digital cameras (funny I was such a big proponent of it in the 90's). I will just roam the world with my Leica M3 or Nikon F and call it a day.
The Basic Requirement of the Box
(By "box," I mean camera. The appellation doesn't work so well any more. Used to be, a camera was a "light-tight box." It was essentially an empty area between a lens and a piece of film, the primary duty of which was to keep light out. Now, of course, cameras are much more than boxes. But I sti...
