Nikon has introduced an interchangeable-lens, digital SLR camera that incorporates features of its D70 model while introducing refinements for greater ease and better pictures. The D70s employs the DX format sensor and F-lens mount design shared by all Nikon SLR cameras for compatibility with all AF Nikkor lenses, as well as the expanding line of DX Nikkor lenses.

Shutter release time lag is minimized for quick response, and the D70s is capable of shooting three frames per second for a continuous burst of 144 pictures when using the...

Building on its EOS Digital Rebel series, Canon has developed a faster, smaller 8-megapixel Rebel XT SLR. Although the size of the APS-C CMOS sensor on the XT SLR is fractionally smaller than that of the EOS 20D camera, individual pixel dimensions are identical, and both provide the same effective angle of view, equivalent to 1.6x the normal EF lens focal length.

The new XT digital camera can shoot up to 14 consecutive 8-mega-pixel JPEGs, five RAW files, or four...

Tamron USA has ceased sales of Bronica ETR-Si, SQ-Ai, SQ-B and GS-1 cameras and accessories in the United States market.

Building on its RZ67 film back, Mamiya has introduced the new RZ67 Pro IID. The Pro IID offers advanced microprocessor technology for traditional film capture, while enabling direct communication of many camera functions to digital capture backs through its Mamiya Serial Communication system.

A wide selection of interchangeable lenses, prisms and focusing screens provides convenience. Interchangeable backs for roll or Polaroid film, or for digital capture backs, increase the...

Mamiya has introduced an integrated medium-format digital SLR camera, the Mamiya ZD. The built-in 22-megapixel, 36-by-48mm Dalsa CCD imaging sensor is nearly three times as large as a full-size 35mm D-SLR sensor. The 14-bit analog-to-digital converter records information as 12-bit-per-color channel for color accuracy. Data transfer from the sensor is processed with...
