Nikon's 28mm F1.4E ED appears to roundly complete the company's updated lineup of fast, professional prime lenses. We've already seen some initial images from a Nikon ambassador, but we've worked through a gallery of our own, with a lens of our own over t...
We take our hat off to Pentax for constantly pushing D-SLR boundaries with new, stylish designs and quirky features. It's not just the K-S1's LED lights that grab your attention – its spec sheet shows a fully-loaded D-SLR at the entry-level sector, which...

Another design gamble that comes ever so close In short, the K-S1 is an interesting departure from traditional DSLR design, but at the end of the day it's just a slightly reworked entry level DSLR. The camera definitely looks like it's a polished effo...
Anti-aliasing filter simulator for when you have to decide between detail and moiré patterning, Very fast AF from the nine centre points, Excellent 100% pentaprism viewfinder
Body design won't appeal to everyone, Centre control a bit fiddly to use, Flucard needed for Wi-Fi transfer rather than having it built into camera

In, camera processing, Odd but effective control layout, Dynamic range expansion and lens corrections
Uncomfortable to hold, crude kit lens with noisy AF, Novelty design detracts from its real potential
Overall, this camera is a decent purchase for people who are looking for their first DSLR. Some will be put off by the design choices on offer here from Pentax, while others will welcome them – if you buy from a camera shop you can handle the camera first...
