Sigma DP1 Quattro review – a unique camera!

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

Sigma's DP1 Quattro is a fixed lens camera aimed at enthusiasts who demand the best image quality from a fairly compact body. It's a unique camera in many respects, with an unusually-shaped body, a fixed wide angle lens and a sensor which captures colour unlike any outside of Sigma's range. It also eschews modern features we take for granted on other new cameras such as Wifi or even a movie mode. The DP1 Quattro is all about still photo quality, but how good is it in practice? Find out if this is the ideal 'compact' camera for landscape and architectural photographers in my Sigma DP1 Quattro review!

Nikon 20mm f1.8 review – a new ultra wide prime for Nikon DSLRs

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

Nikon's AF-S 20mm f1.8G is a new prime lens for the company's range of DSLRs. It's compatible with FX-format full-frame bodies on which it'll deliver ultra wide coverage, along with cropped-frame DX-format bodies, where the field id reduced to 30mm equivalent. The Nikon system is of course well-served for ultra-wide coverage with the superb 14-24mm f2.8 zoom, so the big question is how the new 20mm prime compares, slotting in the middle of the range and offering a brighter aperture, not to mention being smaller, lighter and cheaper. Find out in our Nikon 20mm f1.8G review!

Sony W830 review – the best camera under $100?

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

Sony's Cyber-shot W830 is a point-and-shoot compact with an 8x optical zoom, 20 Megapixel resolution and 720p video packed into a slim and light body. It offers a step-up from the cheapest compacts on the market while maintaining a double-digit price tag. For this kind of money you won't get Wifi or 1080p video, but the basics are there along with a useful zoom range, panorama mode and in-camera charging. Find out if it's the best budget compact in our Sony W830 review!

Nikon L830 review – a great value super-zoom!

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

Nikon's COOLPIX L830 is a DSLR-styled super-zoom camera with a surprisingly powerful feature-set for the money. You get 16 Megapixels, 1080p video, a tilting 3in screen and a 34x optical range equivalent to 22.5-765mm. At this price there's no Wifi, nor much manual control either, but there's no arguing with the core specification for the price and that's why it's understandably become one of the best-selling cameras around. To find out if it deserves the sales we compared it against Canon's newer PowerShot SX400 IS. Find out which takes the budget super-zoom crown in our Nikon L830 review!

Nikon D750 review – my favourite DSLR to date!

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

Nikon's D750 is a 24 Megapixel full-frame DSLR with a new 51-point AF system, 6.5fps shooting, 1080 / 60p video and becomes the first FX-format DSLR from Nikon to sport built-in Wifi and an articulated screen! Equally impressive is how much the D750 inherits from the D810, including 9 frame AEB and the 91k dot RGB sensor, making it classier than the D610. And the real sweetener? It costs $1000 less than the D810. I shot with both side-by-side to help you make the right choice, so find out which full-frame DSLR will be best for you in my Nikon D750 review!

Canon SX400 IS review – budget 30x superzoom!

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

Canon's PowerShot SX400 IS is an affordable compact super-zoom camera with a 30x optical range, 16 Megapixel resolution and a 3in screen. It's a new model that sits below the PowerShot SX520 HS in Canon's current lineup, offering an alternative form factor to other 30x models like the SX700 HS. It also goes up against Nikon's best-selling COOLPIX L830, so the obvious question is how they compare. Find out in our Canon SX400 IS review!

Sony H400 review – affordable 63x superzoom!

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

Sony's Cyber-shot H400 is a bridge super-zoom camera with a huge 63.3x optical range. This ranks it only a fraction below the industry leader, Canon's SX60 HS, but at a much lower price point. As such you won't find an articulated screen, support for RAW, a big viewfinder nor video at 1080p, but the core specification remains good for the money: 20 Megapixels, a small but usable viewfinder, 3in screen, 720p movies and of course that massive zoom range. In our Sony H400 review, we compared it against Canon's SX520 HS and Nikon's P530 to see which will be the best budget super-zoom for you!
