New gear

When Nikon announced that their D800 DSLR would have a 36.3-megapixel full-frame sensor, it sparked some pretty intense online debates. Now, they've gone and squeezed a 24.2-megapixel DX format (APS-C) sensor into an entry-level body, which is sure to have internet comment sections overflowing.

When Nikon recently announced its D800 multimedia-machine DSLR, the internet was already abuzz with folks wondering how Canon would fire back. That follow up comes today in the form of the full-frame Canon 5D Mark III.

The Olympus OM series cameras have been around for roughly 4 decades, but, much like almost everything else, they have gone digital.The boxy body plays well into the current trend of retro-styled cameras with fancy new-fangled features. Inside is a 16.1-megapixel Live MOS sensor that shifts in five directions in order to provide image stabilization. That's a first. It's paired with the TruePic VI image processing engine. That gives it what Olympus is calling an expanded dynamic range and a maximum ISO of 25,600.
