The High-Powered Nikon D4 Is Announced For $6000

Let’s just throw down some specs, then get to pricing, release date, and then the press release.

The Nikon D4 is the successor to the D3 (which debuted 5 years ago), whereas the D3S was sort of an improvement or spin-off. It has a 16.2 megapixel sensor, higher ISO (204,800 at Hi-4), and a brand new full-frame FX-format sensor. There’s 720/24p to 1080/30p video recording, as well as an impossibly high price tag of $5,999.95 when it launches in late February. But all the dough is worth the goods: there’s 91k-pixel RGB 3D Color Matrix Meter III built into the D4, which allows you to accurately examine color values and details of your photos, on top of the fact that the Nikon D4 practically has a night-vision mode. A 921k-dot 3.2-inch LCD, which offers a 170-degree viewing angle and ambient light sensor is also included to examine photos. And of course, let’s not forget the 51-point autofocusing system with a compatibility to nearly all Nikon lenses.

Full press release after the break.

Panasonic Lumix GX1 Micro Four Thirds Leaked

This is the Panasonic Lumix GX1 with an X-series lens screwed onto it. Besides the fact that it’s a new camera and that there is not much (to anything at all) known about it at the very moment, it must have a touchscreen on the back, which would be used in plenty of ways, unless you use an external EVF. And on top of that, there’s a rumored release date of November 8th. So yes, there’s a lot of cloudy facts surrounding this one. Via: Mu-43

Nikon Unveils A Bunch Of New Coolpix Cameras — But Two Are Really Cool

So, Nikon went ahead an refreshed their Coolpix line, like they do every year. In this case, the Coolpix AW100 is a rugged point-and-shoot camera, which can shoot geo-tagged 16-megapixel shots and full 1080p video at depths of 33 feet underwater, temperatures as low as 14-degrees Fahrenheit, or after a drop from up to five feet (nice!). The AW100 will cost $379.95 and be available in the colors of black, blue, and orange. So that’s nice going there Nikon.

The second P&S camera worth mentioning here is the Nikon Coolpix P7100, with the same 10.1-megapixel sensor found in its predecessor, the old P7000, but instead adds an articulating LCD screen, which is incredibly useful or just plain annoying, depending on your uses of LCDs on cameras in the field. It will cost $499.95. Lastly, to round things off are the S8200, S6200, S1200pj, and S100 — the S1200pj is the most interesting of the latter because of its ability to project an image to an iPad, iPhone, or iPod Touch, complete with 20 lumens of light — for $429.95. Check out the Nikon source link if you are so inclined. The new pack of Coolpix cameras come out in September.

Pentax’s Q Debuts As The World’s Tiniest Interchangeable Lens Camera

It may be cute and cuddly, priced at $800 and have a world-record of the smallest interchangeable lens camera, but the 12.4 megapixel 1/2.3-inch backlit CMOS image sensor with 1080p HD video recording at 30 FPS makes the Pentax Q a hard buy against other small Micro Four Thirds cameras on the market. Anyways, it’s your call on what camera you buy, so the press release with full details on the tiny Pentax Q is available, after the break.

PENTAX K-r Review: Better Than The K-x, For Sure

This is the Pentax K-r. It’s the more expensive and improved version of the Pentax K-x, which in its own right, was one of the best cameras of 2010. Since mostly the changes between the K-r and K-x have to do with the autofocusing system, power source, and some cosmetic changes, this review will be shorter than my usual DSLR reviews, as the device in question is more of an update rather than a completely new DSLR. But does that take away from the K-r at all? Not a bit. Check out the review past the break to see why.

Canon Goes The Colored Path With New T3 DSLR Colors

image
This is an awkward moment. Canon, notorious for being a fan of the color black in its DSLRs (and only black, at that) has begun selling the well-respected entry-level Canon EOS Rebel T3 in red, gray, brown, and the usual black that it has always come in. Costing $549 for the lens kit which includes an EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 zoom II lens, 12.2 megapixel sensor, 720p HD video recording, 9-point autofocus system, ISO 100 to 6,400, and a 63-zone dual-metering system the Rebel T3 is available for purchase at the source link. However, I don’t think a change of colors warrant its worth of beating the Pentax K-r, a rival DSLR which comes in at the very least a few more colors. Or at least that’s my opinion.

Panasonic LUMIX GF3 Made Official With 12.1MP, 1080i Recording, And Then Some

Got a Panasonic LUMIX GF1? Too bad. Just go the GF2? Too slow. The GF3 was just announced, and it’ll make you more pissed off about your expensive camera purchases for serious photography then ever before. It hass 12.1 megapixel resolution, which uses Panasonic’s latest imaging processor technology, shoots 1080i AVCHD video, has a 3-inch touchscreen, ISO range of 160 to 6400, and the usual array of Intelligent Auto enhancements, as well as a little note — the GF2 isn’t going anywhere. Both will be sold at the same time. Also, it is 15 percent lighter than the GF2, and 17 percent smaller, and contains no hot shoe for attached external flashes and the like.

Now for pricing: the LUMIX GF3 will be released in July for $699 with a 14mm lens, then in late-August with a cheaper $599 kit that comes with a 14-42mm lens.Also, the GF3 comes in either black, white, red or brown shades. Just FYi. PR after the cut.

Panasonic LUMIX DMC-LX5 Review

It’s a 10.1-megapixel point-and-shoot luxury camera by Panasonic. It looks rather awesome, is compact and powerful, can shoot up to AVCHD Lite at 720p HD, and can shoot in a variety of aspect ratios. It also costs $499.95, which is quite a bit more than the comfortable range for a point-and-shoot camera, luxury styling with Leica DC VARIO-SUMMICRON lens and all. Check past after the break to see if it’s worth it, and better yet, if it’s any good.
