Just Posted: Our review of the Sony Alpha 390. Sony’s latest DSLR is a minor upgrade to the A380, but Sony has made some important ergonomic changes that should make the new model easier to get to grips with (literally). At the core of the A390 is the same 14Mp CCD sensor as the A380 and A350, from which the A390 also inherits its innovative Fast AF Live View mode. Is a new handgrip enough to make the A390 stand out from the crowd? Check out our review and sample gallery to find out…

Just Posted: our review of Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 3

Just posted: our review of Adobe Lightroom 3. It’s been more than three years since Adobe introduced the first version of Lightroom – its raw processing and workflow tool aimed specifically at photographers. In June 2010 the company released the third version which represented the biggest update the software has yet seen, including the incorporation of an entirely new raw processing engine. We’ve been using the latest version extensively and have prepared a eight-page review assessing its usefulness as a tool for photographers. We’ve also looked at its relationship with the rest of the Photoshop family and, most importantly, how its output compares to that of its rivals.

Just Posted: Panasonic DMC-LX5 sample gallery

Just posted: full sized images from the Panasonic DMC-LX5. We had the chance to shoot with the newly-announced LX5 and have prepared a 24 shot gallery of images. We intentionally shot at a variety of apertures, ISOs, focal lengths and aspect ratios to give a flavor of what the camera can do. The images were taken with a pre-production camera, so may not be representative of final, production image quality.

Just posted: Panasonic Lumix G2 review

Just Posted: Our review of the Panasonic Lumix DMC-G2 mirrorless system camera. The successor to the G1 (the first Micro Four Thirds camera) adds movies, a touch screen and a smattering of feature enhancements, but retains the familiar ‘SLR-lite’ styling and the G1′s venerable 12MP CMOS sensor. We liked the G1 a lot when we reviewed it back in January 2009 (and the new model answers several of our most pressing concerns), but 18 months is a long time in this market. So can the G2 still compete against the latest generation of entry-level DSLRs and the increasingly active mirrorless system camera sector? Check out our review and sample gallery to find out…

Just posted: our Samsung TL500/EX1 review

Just Posted: Our review of the Samsung TL500 (EX1 in Europe). The future of the enthusiast compact camera is under threat from the small mirrorless cameras that are starting to encroach on their territory. However, the Samsung TL500′s smaller sensor (compared to the mirrorless models) means the company has been able to include a lens that not only offers a useful 24-72mm equivalent range but also a phenomenally bright F1.8-2.4 maximum aperture range. This lens flexibility is combined with a tilt/swivel OLED screen in a package smaller than any mirrorless camera with zoom lens. So does the camera live up to the promise of its specifications?

Just Posted: Our group test of the latest ‘super zoom’ cameras. Despite entry-level DSLRs getting cheaper and cheaper the super zoom models are as popular as ever. This latest generation comes with up to 30x zoom lenses, HD video recording and, in some cases, high speed stills and video capture. We’ve taken 9 super zoom cameras from the leading manufacturers and put them through the usual dpreview test procedures. Read our group test to find out which one is the best superzoom to take to the soccer pitch or on safari this summer.
