Engadget: How would you change Panasonic's Lumix DMC-GH1?

Olympus' E-P1 may be cuter, but it was Panny's own Lumix DMC-GH1 carrying the Micro Four Thirds banner for quite some time. After an excruciatingly painful wait for it to slide from concept to production, it was largely met with praise from the industry. Of course, smaller rivals have since emerged, leaving early adopters with an expensive piece of larger-than-necessary kit. Still, we're anxious to hear if you MFT believers that jumped at the chance to own a GH1 are still satisfied with your decision. Is the image quality where it should be? Are the controls implemented well? Do you have to keep stealing it back from your lady friend? Rip it or praise it, but whatever you do, do it in comments below.

Engadget: How would you change Nikon's D300S?

Posted by on under delightful array, sharp shooting, video mode, fri, mths, d700, image quality, megapixels, nik, goodness, tweak, slots, nikon, hearts, nbsp, cf, trees, heart, game |

Nikon's D300S isn't exactly tailor made for D300 owners, but for those waiting patiently to jump into the semi-pro DSLR game, it offers up a pretty delightful array of specs. Boasting SD and CF slots, a 720p movie mode and 12.3 megapixels of sharp shooting goodness, this here cam received overwhelmingly positive reviews late last year. Strategically positioned between the full-frame D700 and the lesser-specced D90, we're sure the D300S found its way into quite a few hearts (and under quite a few trees) between then and now. If you've been firing off snaps with one of these for a few months now, we're curious to know how you'd tweak things if the power were yours. Does the "S" really add enough to the D300 package to warrant the boost in price? How's the image quality? Is the video mode a-okay for your purposes? Spill your heart out in comments below -- we're here to hold your hand if necessary.

Techcrunch: Rugged Camera Roundup: The Movie

Posted by on under rugged camera, waterproof cameras, envirment, pulling my leg, impressi, quick trip, image quality, roundup, usability |

Before each of this week's rugged and waterproof cameras gets examined on terms of usability, image quality, and so on, I had to check whether their makers were pulling my leg about their rugged qualities. A quick trip to the park furnished a suitable environment to test this out, and here's the video. My first impression is that it's going to be hard to recommend one of these over the other, given their wildly different price points and designs. But review I must. The important part is they all survived some minor abuse, and that really recommends all of them. Stay tuned for the individual reviews coming throughout this week.
