Our friends and collaborators over at DxOMark have recently been looking into how lenses score on specific cameras, and the latest model they’ve examined is the Nikon D600. In a three-part article published at the end of last week, they investigate how 70 lenses from Carl Zeiss, Nikon, Samyang, Sigma, Tamron and Tokina measure up on the D600’s 24MP full frame sensor.  The article also compares how given lenses score on the D600 compared to the 36MP D800 and 24MP D3X.

Just Posted: Our Nikon Coolpix A review

Just posted: Our review of the Nikon Coolpix A. With a 28mm-equivalent wideangle lens, and the same 16MP DX format sensor as used by the D7000 SLR, the Coolpix A is designed as a serious compact camera capable of professional-quality results. But it’s up against stiff competition, in the shape of the similarly-specified but cheaper Ricoh GR that was announced a month later. In our 16-page comparative review, we take a detailed at how the Coolpix A measures up to the challenge  to the challenge posed by its close rival. Our review of the Ricoh GR should follow in the next couple of weeks.

Apr 4, 2013 at 23:00:01 GMT PREVIEW MOIRE NIKON PREVIEW Share: Tweet Pin It Print view Email

In the course of preparing our in-depth review of the 24MP Nikon D7100, we’re exploring the image quality ramifications of Nikon’s decision to forgo an optical low pass filter (OLPF). As part of this process, we shot the D7100 alongside the Nikon D5200, which also uses a 24MP APS-C sensor, but includes an OLPF. We have just added both studio and real world comparisons between the two DSLRs to our hands-on preview, along with our standard resolution page.
