Nikon D5000 is the answer to Canon’s new EOS 500D, and they have been running a tight race the last couple of years. Personally I have been using the Canon cameras since day one, but that is mainly because all of my lenses fit the Canon body. The D5000 sure looks like a really nice camera and the review from the Photographyblog rates it as ‘highly recommended‘.

Olympus E-450 – review

Olympus E-450

Photographyblog.com have looked into the tiny new 10 megapixel DSLR from Olympus, the E-450. The main benefit with the camera is it’s size but it can’t compete with the Canon EOS 500D when you compare image quality and resolution.

Excerpt from the conclusion:

The Olympus E-450 is a very compact, lightweight yet fairly robust feeling little DSLR that comes with a lot of features for an entry-level camera. Not only does it offer manual exposure and focusing modes for the advanced user; it also has features like highlight-, shadow- and midtone-based spot metering, user-configurable mirror lock-up (Anti-Shock), wireless TTL flash control, Shadow Adjustment Technology and contrast-detect auto-focus in Live View.

Like its predecessor the Canon Digital IXUS 95 IS can best be summed up as an undemanding snapper for the unpretentious photographer. Again the sturdiness of its build quality is very impressive, as is speed of operation, design, and overall ease of use.
