Serious amateur photographers, your prayers have been answered. Canon's EOS 10D is not just Canon's most affordable digital SLR; it may also be the best digital SLR deal period. The PMA show gave us a whirlwind tour of what will be hot in digital photo this season. We came, we saw, and now we've chosen our picks for the most noteworthy cameras and gadgets of PMA 2003. We've been waiting with bated breath for Pentax's hot new SLR, and we finally got our paws on it at PMA 2003. Get our first impressions from the show floor. |
Known for marching to its own drummer when it comes to new camera releases, Fujifilm's latest introduces Super CCD SR. We spent some quality time with Sony's latest enthusiast camera, and found this $700 model combines a compact design with the inner workings of more expensive cams. Once upon a time, Canon's Digital Elph was distinctive--an innovative ultacompact camera in a field of big models. Not anymore. The pocket camera rules this year's PMA show. |
Find out about the models that are going away and about the new ultracompacts, as well as one stylish camera that can't be missed. There's a new-and-improved camera for almost every type of shooting in these releases from Sony. The venerable digital camera maker isn't messing around this year; it has updates across its entire line. The latest from Pentax capitalize on unique features, such as a stereoscopic 3D mode and a world clock. |
Have you been waiting for cameras that make use of Fujifilm's Super CCD technology? They're here. Are you a big zoom fan? Then you'll be pleased by releases from Olympus that sport a 10X zoom. These makers may not be introducing a slew of new cameras and accessories, but their offerings shouldn't be missed. |
