What’s New
It’s been a big couple of months in the D-SLR world with the launches of the Canon EOS-1D Mark IV and Nikon D3S plus the Sony A850, but Leica also pleased us all with the introduction of the M9; the world’s first digital RF camera with a 35mm-sized sensor. Yummy!

All I Want For Christmas
It’s that time of year again so here’s a few ideas to help you with gifting buying or what to put on the wish list.
2009-2010 Camera Magazine Imaging Awards
Our judges have been closeted away, picking the cream of 2009’s bumper crop of new imaging products so now it’s time to open the envelope…
Hasselblad On The Moon
Twelve men went to the Moon during the Apollo space program and so did 12 very special Hasselblad cameras. The famous camera maker recently celebrated its long relationship with NASA and space photography.
Ricoh CX2
The Ricoh CX1 was good, but the CX2 is even better thanks to its longer zoom, faster fps rate and improved AF operation.
Nikon D3000
Nikon’s new entry-level D-SLR replaces the D60 and incorporates a novel built-in camera guide with easy-to-use graphic menus.
Pentax K-7
Pentax has packed everything but the kitchen sink into its flagship D-SLR with an emphasis on doing things in-camera rather than being tied to the computer. Sounds good to us.
Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF1
Not surprisingly, Panasonic has introduced a rival to the Olympus E-P1, but the GF1 embodies some different philosophies and some additional features.
Leica M9
Form an orderly queue now. Leica has jumped all the technological hurdles and put a 35mm-sized sensor into a traditional M-series rangefinder camera. And it works brilliantly!
Ricoh GR Digital III
Ricoh is on a bit of a roll at present and its latest GR-series digital compact offers plenty to attract the enthusiast shooter… like an f1.9 speed lens, for example.
