Canon’s new megacam, the $4,000 EOS-1D Mark III was one of the biggest stars of the recent Photo Marketing Association show in Las Vegas. "It doesn’t capture more pixels than other cameras, just better ones", say Canon representatives. Its 10 Mpix CMOS sensor has bigger microlenses over each picture element, so more light is recorded.
The camera can shoot at 10 FPS with a sensitivity level of ISO 6400 without spoiling the images with digital noise. This sensitivity allows to take high quality pictures in the dark, or use of a very long lens without a tripod.
The EOS-1D Mark III is also the first dual-processor camera. Two Digic III chips handle all the information and processes.
This camera is an excellent choice for professional photographers.
Canon Powershot TX1 is a new point and shoot still camera with remarkable video capabilities. It has a cool design and provides great image quality and brute force approach to video. Though the camera is about $100 too expensive, and comes with a sucky 32MB SD card, there are too many points in its favour, so average users will not pay attention to minor inconveniences.
The PowerShot A570 IS is a solid compact camera with very reasonable price. It has manual exposure controls, optical image stabilization, flash output control, and speedy performance. Image quality is great, especially at lower ISOs: colors are accurate, there is plenty of shadow detail, and the whole image turns out very sharp.
