Post production isn't something that was new and unique for digital photography. Ansel Adams would spend hours in a darkroom, tweaking his photos by dodging and burning. If it was good enough for...

Like you, I am a FlickrPro account holder. And like you, I am really uncomfortable with the new interface. But here's what will happen. You and I will get used to the new interface, and come to...

M4/3 has become everything that 4/3 promised it would be, so to answer your question I would have selected M4/3 over 4/3. However, 4/3 still has the best lenses, but I suppose that that could...

The reason so many Olympus DSLR users migrated to M4/3 is because they had no other choice. Olympus stopped making DSLR cameras and lenses around four years ago, so the only possible upgrade path...

The 16:9 ration is for video shooters. My Sony A55 LCD screen is 16:9 also, and the camera's still photo aspect ration is 3:2.

I wouldn't say the EPL5 is a much better camera. It is just a different camera. They are designed for different shooters.

Each of them is an outstanding choice in it's class.

If I needed a new...

After decades of shooting film with Konica, Minolta, and Canon SLRs my first DSLR was an Olympus E510. I eventually upgraded to an Olympus E30 and added a Sony SLT A55. Today I shoot with the A55,...

I would never want a FF DSLR. They simply are too large, too heavy, and too expensive for my needs. I am an amateur photographer who rarely makes prints. I just don't need the marginal advantages...

That video was a work of fiction, not a documentary clip. Those were actors reading lines that were scripted for them. What that actor said may be true or may be false, but it doesn't prove...

Their popularity might ebb and flow, but this type of camera will always be the first choice for a large segment of the market. The question you ask is really the wrong one. There is no one type of...

I really don't think image quality plays a big part in this movement to smartphones as the camera of choice for casual snapshooters.

As you say.... the smartphone image quality is good...

If you like using Nikon gear, then consider the Nikon 1 system. You might be surprised at how nice the results can be. It is based on a 1" sensor, but it will beat the pants off any high end...

Some people love shooting videos but most people buy a camera for it's still picture quality. Having said that... if you give customers a choice between two identical cameras, one having HD video...

That's an awful lot of camera for $400, especially when you consider there are two very nice lenses thrown in. A good compact P&S camera (like a Canon S110 or Panasonic LX7) would have cost you...

But this is nothing new. Before this rating system was developed, around 80% of all DSLRs reviewed were given the highest possible rating of "Highly Recommended." (Actually... around 100% of those...

If Oly released a M4/3 12-35mm f/2 and a 35-100mm f/2, it would create a loss for both Olympus and Panasonic.

There simply aren't enough customers for $1,000 MILC lenses for two manufacturers to...

The low end Olympus P&S cameras should have been axed years ago.

Even if their sales numbers weren't declining, they weren't offering anything better (or more often, not as good as) Canon and...

Why on earth would Amazon buy this or any other website, unless they thought it would help them make money? Amazon has gradually, and very carefully, been integrating the two sites so that each...

Dpreview moved to Seattle a few years ago, after being acquired by Amazon.com. Those London Bridge photos are on all the old reviews. The new reviews will feature the Space Needle....
