Canon has introduced two new entry-level digital SLR cameras, updating their two previous models (from 2008 and 2010 respectively) with fresh ones from 2011: the new Canon Rebel T3i and Rebel T3. The two new digital SLR models today bring modern features to the table; with the Rebel T3i featuring a notable new feature - wireless flash control (a first in a Canon entry-level SLR model)

Looks like things are gonna get pretty interesting this holiday 2010. Why? Cause Nikon’s just come up with their answer to the recently introduced Canon EOS 60D and Olympus E-5 digital SLR cameras (and also the much-awaited successor to their own D90) - meet the new Nikon D7000.
The Nikon D7000 is a fairly sizeable upgrade compared to the old D90, featuring better build quality, a higher resolution display, improved viewfinder, metering and autofocus system, faster burst speed, improved movie mode […]
Olympus has just announced their new flagship digital SLR today, the Olympus E-5. The new E-5 introduces a few changes and improvements here and there (some of which you’ve probably already seen in Olympus’ recent consumer digital SLRs); none of which are particularly earth-shaking. But nevertheless, here’s what’s up with the Olympus E-5:

12.3 effective megapixels (Live MOS sensor, 1.5X crop)
Four Thirds lens mount (2X crop factor)

Pentax announced a brand new digital SLR, a new SLR lens and two new Optio compact cameras today. They’re all pretty interesting if you asked me - the Pentax K-r digital SLR has a feature set similar to mid-range class SLRs while sporting a more affordable ‘entry-level’ price. The Optio RZ10 is Pentax’s first attempt at the compact super-zoom camera market (As far as my memory can recall) while the entry-level Optio RS1000 introduces interchangeable faceplates (just like what you […]
Canon broke the news of their new EOS 60D digital SLR today. The new EOS 60D brings an unexpected change to Canon’s digital SLR line up as it’s now positioned somewhere between the entry-level xxxD/Rebel series and the 7D. It sports a couple of upgrades versus the 50D, but also a few downgrades as well (most notably build quality and accessibility of some settings). This makes the 7D somewhat of a spiritual successor to the 50D… and the 60D a […]
Sony introduced two pairs of new digital SLR cameras today dedicated to the entry-level SLR market. The first pair, part of Sony’s new SLT series, feature their new Translucent Mirror Technology which uses a translucent mirror to pass light to both the autofocus sensor and CMOS simultaneously. Since the mirror doesn’t need to move (Sony has substituted the optical viewfinder with an electronic one), it allows the SLT camera bodies to be smaller and the cameras can continuously shoot/focus more […]
