DSLR Photography Forum

Wired has a roundup of prosumer DSLRs - the Nikon D300, Sigma K20, Canon 40D and the Olympus E3.

hmm, "prosumer": Are "pro" shooters really that scared of cleaning their sensors then? I think that's why I often see them equally stressed about getting their 50% polyester trousers dirty; life's sure tough at the top.
Cynical? Moi?

Sigma K20, interesting.....

"Not a professional photographer? That doesn't mean you can't snap like one."

I'm not quite sure what to add to the opening line of the comparison. I have to admit that I'm not fond of reviews that rank my tool of choice fourth out of four, especially when it displays some fundamental difficulties with math. But considering that the reviewer also doesn't like the Pentax K20D's weak pop-up flash, I'm not going to take the ergonomic complaints too seriously.

I own a lot of hand tools including 3 hand saws. "Which one is best", depends on what I am cutting with it.
The one I use most, still has limitations. (Opening tins is one of them. )
I suppose cameras are the same. Will one do everything? I doubt it.
The skills the user aquires through life, makes for better understanding of the tool.
A good craftsman never blames his tools.

The reviews are subjective. I don't own an HDMI thingy so what good is the port? Does that make the photographs better? If so I will buy an HDMI add on.
