Nikon’s new 3D 51 points Dynamic AF

Nikon has finally caught up with Canon on autofocus with the Nikon D3/D300, at least in theory.
By having a large number of focus points the camera has more signal to process if the object gets bigger (moves towards the camera) or gets smaller (moves away from the camera). It is also possible to track […]

However, you can only take advantage of the new system by using JPEGs produced internally by the camera (As of today the EOS 40D, the EOS 1D Mark III and the EOS 1Ds Mark III are using Canon’s new noise reduction system).
Many […]
