How to Choose the Right Professional Digital Camera

SLR CamerasThe Pentax faithful rejoiced with the announcement of the K20D digital SLR. This feature filled camera sends focus with 14.6 megapixels, a nearly 3" LCD display, and new noise-reduction technology for improved image quality. Add to that shake and dust
?reduction, enhanced dynamic range, a new Live View function to view the image on the monitor when you're shooting, six image modes, and a weather-resistant body--a lot of value for the $1,299.95 price tag (body only). Should you need a more compact system, check out Pentax's new K200D with 18?55mm at $799.95. The K200D o ers many of the same new technologies found in the K20D, but with a 10.2-megapixel CCD (charge coupled device) sensor as opposed to a CMOS sensor. While the K20D uses a rechargeable li-ion battery, the K200D runs on AA batteries. Both models feature 11-point autofocus and 16 segment metering systems. Bring in the new smc Pentax DA lenses due to ship in May and you'll have a lot of camera in your hands for a very good price.The new Nikon D60 compact, digital SLR camera is very fast--a stunning 0.18-second startup-- and includes the new AF-S DX NIKKOR 18?55mm f/3.5?5.6G VR image stabilization lens. Nikon's smallest digital SLR, the D60 has lots to o er with big features, such as a 10.2-megapixel CCD sensor with Active D-lighting to optimize quality under extreme lighting conditions. Like many new products in this category, the in-camera features now include special e ects and modest retouching abilities. The D60 sports dust-detecting technology that actually shakes the particles from the sensor and uses Nikon's Air ow Control System to reduce dust with each shot. A 2.5" LCD monitor makes images easy to see and menus easy to use. The D60 accepts SD, SDHC, and Eye-Fi wireless memory cards. In terms of performance, this is all-Nikon with continuous shooting up to 3 fps, eight shooting modes, EXPEED image processing, and 3D Color Matrix Metering II with three-area autofocus (similar to high-end Nikon systems). The package is priced at around $750 with a body-only option in the mid-$600 range.
