* How We Review
All cameras and lenses tested at Photo Review are subjected to Imatest evaluation, which uses a test target/software evaluation system developed by Norman Koren in Boulder, Colorado (USA). The system provides objective measurements for:
- Image sharpness and the camera's ability to record fine detail
- Chromatic aberration
- Colour recording quality, tonal response and colour noise
- Camera tonal response and dynamic range.
See more information on Imatest at: http://imatest.com/.
All RRPs are in Australian dollars unless specified otherwise.
In addition to image quality testing, our camera reviews include an examination of innovative features, build quality, ease of use, and ability to shoot in low-light conditions. Photo Review quotes imager area dimensions in millimetres for all cameras reviewed, allowing buyers to calculate the actual size of photosites, which is the best indicator of potential picture quality.
We invite ALL camera manufacturers to submit cameras for review.
Camera Review Ratings
Ratings are based on how the camera performs in comparison to other cameras in the same category at the time the review was done. Readers should check the date of review and take that into consideration before making any purchase decision. The Overall rating also considers the camera's price at the time of review.
See Reviews section section for a comprehensive list of digital camera reviews, including ratings, test shots and Imatest charts.
