    We cut through the hype and see what the X100 is really capable of. Looking at the FinePix X100 is like peeking into a page of the history of cameras. After all, it was modeled after old rangefinder cameras, such as the Canon QL17 and Minolta Hi-Matic 7, which were popular in the 1970s. The retro styling brings about a sense of nostalgia for older shutterbugs, while the trendier crowd may find such a design to be unique and cool. Given that retro seems to be the trend for camera designs nowadays, it's no wonder that the X100 made waves… Full Story »

    Some aspects of the D5100's performance still lag behind its class. We check out Nikon's latest budget dSLR and see what it has to offer over its predecessor. We're used to Canon and Nikon leapfrogging each other in terms of product announcement timing and technology updates, but this year they're finally going head-to-head in the budget dSLR market. Nikon's D5100, a replacement for the 2-year-old D5000, directly takes on the Canon EOS 600D as an evenly matched competitor.

The major change is to the camera's imaging sensor; the SX210 IS had a 14-megapixel CCD while SX230 HS has a 12-megapixel backside-illuminated CMOS. Without getting into the technical differences, what you need to know is that the new sensor produces better low-light photos and… Full Story »
