ePhotozine has a review of the Sigma SD14: "It is not the fastest camera out there but for many forms of photography speed is not essential. What the SD14 does have, apart from the advances in handling over its predecessors, is superb image quality and colour fidelity when used in its intended RAW format. Having taken away all of the over-sophisticated beginner modes has freed the camera up to take images in a simple and uncluttered way but you need to spend some time in post processing to get the best images."
We see this competition as one way Electrolux can involve the creativity of young people and get them to focus on a global climate problem that will affect us all,” says Hans Stråberg, Electrolux President and CEO.
Over the years thousands of students have participated in Electrolux’s Design Lab global competition that has culminated in a series of international workshops and press events at the finals, which previously have taken place in Budapest, New York, Stockholm and Barcelona. The location for this year’s Design Lab event is Paris.
This year marks the 50th anniversary of the Asahi Pentax (common name: AP type) since its release in 1957. Taking this opportunity, we built up a design study model based on Digital SLR K10D. Asahi Pentax AP features Pentaprism for the first time that led to the origin of PENTAX brand. PENTAX materialized correct image of viewfinder image which was previous challenge for PENTAX. The built-in flash was removed from this design study model, and recreated characteristic delta roof for Asahi Pentax AP.
"As the Samsung is in fact a rebadged Pentax model with some cosmetic changes, all older Pentax lenses with KA, KAF or KAF2 mount will fit the GX 10, which could be an important consideration in deciding which camera to go for. If however you are new to DSLR photography you will find an excellent mid-range DSLR in the Samsung. Looking at its extensive list of features it can certainly hold its own among other DSLRs today. The GX10 is built like a tank with solid well-placed buttons and dials and handy weatherproofing. It provides fast performance with excellent results and comfortable handling. It comes with handy extras like dust removal and built-in optical image stabilisation plus a couple of other advanced features not found on certain other reflex cameras. So if you like what we told you about the Samsung GX10, try one out in the shops and see if it suits you.
"My first test shot produces a pleasingly sharp photo. The sharpness is also retained as you move towards the edge of the shot. Colours are well balanced without being as deep and vivid as you can manage with some digital cameras. ... The Panasonic DMC LZ7 is a solid camera for the price. Compared to cheaper models with shorter zoom lenses I think this camera offers better value for money. Although picture quality is not perfect it is a cut above that offered by many entry level models."
The Casio Exilim EX-V7 offers a tremendous amount of features in a small compact package while continuing the tradition of a durable, lightweight model that can be tucked away just about anywhere, while still capturing great photos and offering outstanding performance. It has loads of user-friendly exposure modes, and with an MSRP of around $399, we feel it offers a good value. The camera itself is a pleasure to use; it's fast, is feature-packed, easy to use, has very reliable exposure, and an excellent movie mode. The decision is yours."
