  • Just Posted: Nikon D4 Studio Test Samples

    nikon_d4.png

    We’ve just published images of our standard test scene taken with Nikon’s latest professional DSLR, the 16MP D4. These have been shot using a production-standard D4 and, as usual, include both Raw and JPEG images with all original files available for download. Added them to our comparison tool means they can be called-upon from other reviews or the standalone comparison tool. For this test we used the recently-announced Nikon AF-S Nikkor 85mm f/1.8 and we’ll be publishing ‘real world’ galleries both the D4 and 85mm over the coming days.

  • Canon 600EX-RT Speedlite and ST-E3-RT Transmitter: Yep, It’s Radios

    Photo © Syl Arena

    I’m on the road with spotty ‘net (and also a Nikon guy, so there’s that). But Syl Arena has been playing around with the just-announced Canon flash and radio transmitter. Here’s the five-word version of Syl’s review:

    “Canonistas, hold your heads high.”

    Well, then. Looks like Canon has uncorked a very sophisticated and robust flash system for discerning photographers who like their photos well-lit, if not quite in focus. (Kidding! Mostly!)

    Check out Syl’s evolving coverage of the new system.

    __________

    [UPDATE: Official price for the Canon 600EX-RT speedlite was set at: 1 Paul Buff 640WS Einstein + 8″ hi-output reflector + 2-grid set + 64″ soft silver PLM + 64″ diffusion fabric.]
