Camera Labs and DSLR Tips latest news and reviews        Go to the original article...

The Lumix DMC-TZ20 / ZS10 is the latest model in Panasonic's enormously popular travel zoom series. It may physically resemble last year's TZ10 / ZS7, but now features a broader 16x optical zoom, a touch-screen display, Full HD 1080i video, 3D photo capture, and enhanced GPS capabilities. Under the hood is a new CMOS sensor which avoids vertical streaking in movies, while also supporting fast continuous shooting. In our full review we'll examine the performance of the new sensor and lens, and take a close look at the GPS, 3D, Handheld Night Shot and HD movie capabilities. Find out if Panasonic remains the King of the compact super-zooms in our Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ20 / ZS10 review!

Camera Labs and DSLR Tips latest news and reviews        Go to the original article...

The Nikkor AF-S 35mm f/1.4G is a high quality wide angle prime lens designed for use on DX or FX format bodies. Joining the recent 24mm, 50mm and 85mm models, it completes a set of four updated Nikkor primes featuring f1.4 focal ratios. The 35mm focal length is one of the most useful on both DX and FX format bodies: on the former it delivers standard coverage, while on the latter it offers mild wide-angle without the distortion of shorter focal lengths. In our Nikkor 35mm f1.4G review diary we'll take a close look at Nikon's most expensive 35mm prime, and see if it lives up to expectations.

Canon IXUS 1000 HS / PowerShot SD4500 IS ELPH – full review!

Camera Labs and DSLR Tips latest news and reviews        Go to the original article...

Canon's IXUS 1000 HS (or PowerShot SD4500 IS as it's known in North America) claimed the title of the World's slimmest super-zoom camera when launched. It packs a 10x optical zoom, 3in widescreen display and 10 Megapixel CMOS sensor into a body measuring just 22mm thick. The CMOS sensor allows Full HD 1080p video recording and fairly quick continuous shooting, while the sensible resolution and clever burst composite mode attempt to keep noise levels under control. See how it measures-up in our Canon IXUS 1000 HS / SD4500 IS review!

Nikon currently offers three 35mm prime lenses: the ageing AF 35mm f2.0D, the low-cost DX 35mm f1.8G and the latest high-end AF-S 35mm f1.4G. But how does their quality compare on both cropped and full-frame bodies? Camera Labs' forum moderator Thomas has conducted in-depth tests of all three for upcoming reviews, but right now we wanted to give you a sneak-preview of their sharpness side-by side. Prepare to be surprised by the affordable DX 35mm on a full-frame body and look out for unexpected differences in light transmission. We reveal all in our Nikkor 35mm prime lens comparison!
