Nikon D3 and D300 announced - Sony to release new DSLRs soon!
PhotographyNow that the Nikon D3 and D300 are out we know what to expect from new Sony Alpha DSLRs - one full frame body (pro model) and one cropped (armature model) . While the sensor are going to be very close to those in Nikon cameras, there will be some key differences in AF system, shutter speed/durability, memory support (Sony will support both Flash and Memory Stick instead of housing two flash slots). At the same time the image quality as output by the sensor will be very similar with only minor corrections done by Sony image processing units in the body. This announcement signals a very quickly approaching date of release of Sony DSLRs as they can't afford to lag far behind Canon and Nikon, especially since we are getting closer to the fall and winter sales.
Nikon D300 Key Features
- 12.3 megapixel DX format CMOS sensor
- Self-cleaning sensor unit (low-pass filter vibration)
- ISO 200 - 3200 (6400 with boost)
- 14-bit A/D conversion
- Nikon EXPEED image processor (Capture NX processing and NR algorithms, lower power)
- Super fast operation (power-up 13 ms, shutter lag 45 ms, black-out 100 ms)
- Shutter life 150,000 exposures
- New Multi-CAM3500DX Auto Focus sensor (51-point, 15 cross-type, more vertical coverage)

Photography tip: Home studio for product shots
PhotographyEvery single day I come across terrible pictures of various items on Craigslist, eBay and blogs. Many people do not realize that by taking good pictures of whatever they want to show, they can increase their chances of selling it, getting a higher price or simply impressing others with the items they are so proud of. Yet, we still see those awful pictures of tea sets on a couch or an iPod on a messy table next to an old pizza slice.
