However, it would seem that the company is actually extending its range of activities, since it has just announced the development of the Media Port UP and UP300x, two devices that can best be described as a co... |

"What's the best RAW application?" This question alone is the starting point for aggressive topics on photography forums where supporters of certain software throw smut at each other over the issue.

Together with the P80 bridge model, Nikon has also announced today two models aimed at replacing the ultra-compact S51 and S51c digital cameras.

Nikon yesterday announced a somewhat expected upgrade of their entry level D40x. The new D60 uses the same 10.2-megapixel, 1.5x crop factor sensor found in the D40x, which is actually a good thing since more megapixels doesn't mean better image quality.Moreover, you get the same 3-D Color Matrix Metering II met... |

Third party cheap mega zoom lenses are ideal for photographers with limited amounts of cash who prefer having a single solution for their shots. However, some (and by some one should think about the Nikon D40 and D40x) entry-level DSLRs do not have an AF motor for driving the lens. This means that if the lens does no... |

If you want a premium point and shoot go with Canon, but if you want a DSLR go with Nikon. Wait a second, don't start cursing just now, because it's only a study. And a strange one too, I might add.

Optically speaking, third party lenses can be as good as the Nikkors or Canon EFs, but they sometimes lack features like optical stabilizations and ultra-fast motors.
