And you thought the 5D Mark II had too many pixels.  Well a do-it-yourselfer has taken an old HP Scanner and used the spare parts to make a 130-megapixel digital camera.  How’s that for a weekend project?

B&H Photo has posted a hands-on review of the Nikon D5000.

In practice, image files held up quite well through ISO 1600 before noise and breakdowns of tonal gradations started becoming noticeable.

Buy-N-Shoot has posted a review of the Sony Cybershot T77.

Image quality overall is good but unlikely to satisfy keen photographers who demand sharper, more consistently exposed photographs.

This image showing the LCD screen of what is clearly a Nikon D300s was purportedly taken from the official Nikon USA site (it’s down now).  The LCD screen cap shows the Nikon D300s model name, as well as an indication that it has an SD slot via the info in the lower left corner.  These validity of this rumor just increased to all-but-official and we should be seeing a replacement for the Nikon D300 anytime now.

Update: As of 1/4/10, the Samsung NX10 has been officially announced.  For more details, click here.

A bit a rumor-mongering and “reports” suggest a July 7th announcement date for the Samsung GX-30 and an NX Series camera.

This post at Pentax Forums alludes the July 7 announce date, while following up with a couple of pictures I took at PMA 2009 of the new NX series prototype.  These images actually appeared on the promo screen, which was essentially a slide show of a NX series mockup that showed “features” of the coming camera system.  [click to continue…]

DP Review has posted a review of the Canon EOS 500D (aka Rebel T1i).

All the major manufacturers cram more and more new features into their ‘budget’ offerings but the EOS 500D is arguably the currently best specced camera in the segment, which lifts it some distance above pure ‘entry level’ territory.
