Imaging-Resource
have updated their Canon EOS-D30 preview to a final review (of a production
D30). "While not coming anywhere near the speed or incredible ruggedness
of the EOS 1V film camera or its brethren, the D30 nonetheless shows solid
engineering, and at nearly 3 frames per second is fast enough for most
applications. When you toss in its excellent image quality, generous ISO
speed capability, superb low-light shooting, excellent flash integration,
and compatibility with the full range of Canon EF lenses, it'd be a bargain
at twice the price. " | Neil Turner, Contributing Editor has written a lengthy second look at the Canon EOS-D30. Neil had the D30 for three days, in which time he used it for pretty much all of his professional shooting. "Quite simply I have substituted the D30 for one of my DCS520s for the past few days, and it has been my main camera at all times. Obviously, I have no control over where the paper sends me so the D30 hasn't had it's assignments chosen to suit it at all. I have amassed three pages of handwritten notes and there are a million thoughts going through my brain, so here goes."

Galbraith has published his appraisal of Canon's EOS-D30 from a photojournalists
point of view, Rob introduces the article, "D30 image quality is
top-notch and 550EX flash photography is a breeze. But the camera may
not be the best choice for peak action sports. This article looks at some
of the Canon EOS D30's main strengths and weaknesses, and includes 14
full-resolution photos." | |
Jeff
over at DCResource has just posted his own Canon EOS-D30 user review.
Here's what Jeff had to say about the D30 "I don't feel that I can
answer the above question, since this is the first Pro SLR digital camera
I've used. Is the D30 a great camera? Yes, absolutely -- it continually
amazed me every time I used it. If you've got a collection of Canon lenses
and want to go digital in a big way, the D30 is for you. Even if you don't,
and can afford the D30, it's definitely something to consider. Most of
our readers will just daydream about the D30, but if it's in your price
range, you should definitely check it out!" |
As a stills camera the Fujifilm X-T3 is a pleasant update to one of our favorite APS-C cameras, significantly improving the autofocus. If you're interested in stills and video, though, it's knockout.
The Nikon Z7 is slated as a mirrorless equivalent to the D850, but it can't subject track with the same reliability as its DSLR counterpart. AF performance is otherwise good, except in low light where hunting can lead to missed shots.
Nikon's Coolpix P1000 has moved the zoom needle from 'absurd' to 'ludicrous,' with an equivalent focal length of 24-3000mm. So far, it's a fun camera to shoot with – if a bit over the top.
The Canon EOS R is the first full frame mirrorless camera to use the new RF mount. We're well underway putting it through our range of standard tests – take a look at how it compares to the competition and our thoughts on using it so far.
The GFX 50R is a 50MP rangefinder-style mirrorless camera. It borrows heavily from the existing 50S model but in a smaller body and at a lower price. How does it differ?
The instant camera market is heating up, and with four formats and 15+ cameras to choose from, we felt it was high time to examine them all and pick our favorite.
