Touted as the world's smallest and lightest interchangeable lense digital camera, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-G1 is the perfect camera for consumers looking for the creative option of interchangeable lenses but the versitility of a small, light camera. Using a new system called "The Four Thirds," Panasonic has found a way to eleminate the mirror system that weighs down other digital single lense reflex (DSLR) cameras. Consumers will not be trading in quality for ease of use, though. This lightweight (and colorful) little camera offers 12 megapixels, easy-to-use interchangeable lenses, and a quick autofocus that allows any photographer to capture… Read More

The Nikon D3X is the newest of Nikon's "extreme professional" line. It is a power-packed camera that is good for any professional looking to have the best equipment money can buy. The sensor in it is very similar to that of Sony's Alpha DSLR-A900 and is actually smaller (Sony has 5.9 microns while Nikon's is 5.49 microns). A problem that you might find is that the D3X isn't a speed demon, but can still burst through 5 frames per second at full resolution.… Read More

Photographers who loved the Nikon D3 or D300 are going to be equally pleased with the Nikon D700. It's Nikon's effort to present a compact digital professional model for digital photography. It's designed to outpace other brands of photographic equipment. It has a smaller body and weighs less than previous models. The D700 is approx 34mm (1.3 in) shorter, 13mm (0.5 in) narrower and 10mm (0.4 in) shallower. Weight (with no battery) comparisons: D3 - 1240g, D700 - 995g.

By far the biggest problem with consumer-level digital cameras is the delay. Unlike most film cameras, some consumer digital cameras have a significant delay when you depress the shutter. When you take a picture with fixed-focus 35mm film cameras, the picture is taken immediately. This isn't always the case with digital cameras. It may take several seconds before the camera can capture the image because the camera must perform the following actions:

• Autofocus on the subject.
• Open the shutter when autofocus is finished to expose the sensor to light.
• Accumulate enough charge on the sensor.
• Close the shutter.
