Buying a camera isn’t a soccer match

By Johan W. Elzenga On 25/04/2012

The web seems to be full of comparison tests of the latest Nikon versus the latest Canon camera, almost like it’s a soccer game and we need to know who wins this year’s championship.

TIPA Awards 2012

By Johan W. Elzenga On 16/04/2012

TIPA, the leading world-wide organisation of photo magazines, has announced the TIPA Awards 2012. Canon was the big winner this year, with no less than 6 TIPA Awards awards. Some people may think it’s strange that the Canon EOS 1D X could get a TIPA Award while it’s not yet available on [...]

Pentax K-01

By Johan W. Elzenga On 02/02/2012

Pentax continues to surprise, this time with the announcement of the K-01 (pronounced ‘Kay-zero-one’). The K-01 is a compact system camera* with 16 Mpixel sensor, so that is not the big surprise. The surprise is that Pentax did not design a new and smaller lens mount, and did not decrease the lens-to-sensor distance compared to [...]

Canon EOS 5D Mark III sighted?

By Johan W. Elzenga On 23/01/2012

An interesting series of photos have been published on the web, showing a Japanese man testing the new Canon 200-400mm 1.4x Extender lens and the new Canon 4.0/600mm lens. The photos also show two different cameras. One of the cameras is clearly an EOS 1D series body, probably the new EOS 1D X, [...]
