Panasonic decides to throw in the towel on the cool retro design scheme, this time around fronting a DSLR that may actually sell. Check out the new Panasonic DMC-L10.  It looks to be a lot like a fixed lens camera, only you can change the lens for more versatility, and of course better image quality-I would venture to guess.  …

Canon ready to dump 8 new cameras on the market.  Go here for nice product photos and a short description.  I’ll post spec sheets in a couple of days.  I find two to be of interest, the 40D and G9, unfortunately, I probably won’t be reviewing either one.  Somehow, the G9 and A-series downgrades are resisting the wide angle …

Good news from the repair shop on the Sigma 18-50mm F/2.8 I just bought.  It appears they have fixed it, and now it’s usable!  I had to pay shipping, go figure.  So I have to re-do my entire review I had nearly ready.  Oh well, it was only a weeks worth of work.  I also have the Sony 11-18mm …

I posted some sample ISO crops, then downsized them to match other cameras that are less than the 12.2mp of this one.  The results are a little surprising.  Resolution is very good…
