We’ve made our product database available on the mobile version of the site. The addition of the products section (searchable by product name, browsable by brand and product type), is another step towards making the entire site available on-the-go. Our database currently includes cameras, lenses and printers and is probably the most comprehensive on the web. As before, there are small links at the bottom of every page to swap between the mobile and desktop versions.
News: Digital Photography Review (dpreview.com)
We’ve just posted studio test samples from the Nikon V1 – the Japanese manufacturer’s enthusiast-targeted small sensor mirrorless camera which is built around what the company is calling a ‘CX’ format 10MP CMOS sensor. In the process of working on the forthcoming in-depth review of the V1, we have shot our standard studio test scene. To allow easy comparison with its peers, we have now added these shots – both out of camera JPEGs and processed RAW files (with Adobe ACR 6.6 Beta) – to our comparison tool, found in our existing reviews. The V1 can now be selected from the pull-down list within any review or in our standalone comparison tool.
We’ve just added Leica M9 studio shots to our comparison tool. As part of our forthcoming review of the Sigma SD1, we’ll be comparing it to a range of large-sensor, high-resolution cameras, which meant including the Leica M9. The shots, actually taken with an M9-P, should not be seen as a signal of a full review of the camera but do help put its image quality in context against its peers.
