(Click the ISO 12,800 sample image above to enlarge to 1:1). Original samples from http://www.imaging-resource.com Will Sony’s decision to put 24MP in the NEX 7 and A77 backfire? It certainly seems so. The mid-range 16MP NEX 5N has by far the better image quality at high ISOs despite being half the price. It’s the Fuji F31fd of DSLRs!

[vimeo]http://www.vimeo.com/24747873[/vimeo] Buy it now – Sony HX9v This is what happens when you don’t overhaul your imaging chips for 3 years, Canon. The new Sony HX9v compact out-resolves the 600D’s video mode for resolution, and has 1080/60p. It is also a lot closer to a DSLR in terms of dynamic range than I expected it would be. It fits in my pocket and has a stabilised 24-380mm lens. It has…

Right now a lot of DSLR reviews mislead on high ISO noise. For example most recent Nikon D5100 reviews have a range of cropped colour chart samples shot under bright studio lights at different ISOs. Surprise, ISO 3200 looks great. In real life it doesn’t!

[vimeo]17349932[/vimeo] Anamorphic lenses won’t just couple up with anybody and need the right partner. They’re very fussy. I am of course talking about prime lenses.
[vimeo]17265074[/vimeo] On the surface, the 60D appears to be the better camera. Picking up the 60D and GH2 for the first time, the Canon feels more serious, the GH2 more light-weight…
DPReview.com’s most recent review is very revealing. They’ve benchmarked the Canon 60D, Panasonic GH2 and Nikon D7000 for RAW sensor noise. Who takes the lead in the sensor race? Surprisingly, Canon is beaten to second place and Nikon now has the best APS-C sensor in terms of high ISO noise. But not by much.
