Nikon 1 J3 review: A new midrange offering doesn’t shine

Released just a month after being announced at CES 2013 alongside a new lower-end sibling (the Nikon 1 S1), the new Nikon 1 J3 now takes its place as the midrange model in Nikon’s lineup of interchangeable lens compact cameras, with a list price of $599.95 (with a 10-30mm kit lens). The J3 is an update to the Nikon 1 J2, which came out only five months prior to the announcement of the J3 and S1 and had been the camera maker’s lower-end offering.

Pentax Q10 review – Is smaller better?

Announced in September 2012, the Pentax Q10 is the second in the Pentax Q series and lays claim to being the smallest hybrid camera currently available, offering interchangeable lenses in a package barely larger than an advanced compact camera. However, is smaller really better, and how have Pentax progressed since the Pentax Q?

Nikon 1 V2 review: Evolution, stasis or regression?

Launched in October 2012, the Nikon 1 V2 is a not unexpected update to the Nikon 1 V1, which debuted in September 2011. The Nikon 1 Series cameras are hybrid cameras with interchangeable lenses. In the case of the V1 and V2, they fall at the upper end of the segment, offering more features and a higher performance level than their more consumer oriented brethren, the Nikon 1 J1 and J2.

Olympus PEN E-PM2 review: Entry-level hybrid gets top-of-the-line sensor

Introduced in mid September, the Olympus PEN E-PM2 is the second generation of Olympus’ entry-level Micro Four Thirds hybrid camera. It sports a newly updated design with a useful, fixed grip and a touch-screen interface among other updates, but the big news is that it has inherited the sensor of the much-admired Olympus OM-D E-M5, the current top-of-the-line Micro Four Thirds camera.

Sony NEX-F3

The NEX-F3 is one of three Sony mirrorless camera models released in 2012, and it’s the company’s eighth since the launch of the NEX line in 2010. The NEX-F3 borrows heavily from higher-end models, but also taps much of the technology found in its predecessor. So is there any big evolution in sensor quality for the NEX-F3? Or were most of the changes to the camera cosmetic? DxOMark has some answers.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF5

The compactness, flexibility for interchange lenses, and touchscreen focus and interface makes Panasonic’s Lumix DMC-GF5 an attractive companion for amateur photographers who want the usability of a point-and-shoot, but the versatility of a DSLR. But with a number of similar hybrid cameras entering the market, is the GF5 right for you?

My first comment and it's to correct grammar

"at risk from hungry competitors' eager to pickoff perspective Panasonic customers"  should be 'prospective customers'

Should be, "My first comment, and it's to correct grammar". However, some spell checkers will still mark it as a fragment.
