Compared to the Nikon D1x (contd.)
Studio scene comparison
This is our standard studio scene comparison shot taken from exactly
the same tripod within about a minute of each other (tripod was moved
closer to the subject to compensate for the difference in multiplier between
the D60 and D1x). Lighting: 2 x 800W studio lights with dichroic daylight
filters bounced off a white ceiling reflector. Crops magnified 200%.

Both cameras do an excellent job of pulling the detail
out of the image, there are several areas of fine detail where the D1x's
additional horizontal resolution is able to better define horizontal elements.
However, the overall conclusion must be that the D60 with it's superior
vertical resolution is better able to resolve the full six megapixels
of resolution. Colour balance is more interesting, the D1x producing a
brighter and more vivid image, the D60's image looking more neutral (of
course you could get a more vivid D60 image by creating a parameter set
with the 'saturation +1' setting).

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.
