Latest articles: GH2 vs α55, Pentax K-5, Nokton 25/0.95

Just a quick note on some new articles that are worth taking a look at.

Soundimageplus have been testing the Panasonic GH2 and the Sony α55 extensively during the past weeks, and have now published a comparison between the two. Their verdict: “Both cameras (A55 and GH2) are bristling with quality and innovation, in small, light and relatively inexpensive packages. I’m not talking about gimmicks introduced to grab a few headlines, but genuine, useful, well thought out and implemented photographic innovation that assists us as photographers to both take better pictures and extend the scope of what its possible for us to do.” What? There is no clear winner? How can that be! 😉

There’s been another review written of the Voigtländer Nokton 25/0.95, the king of “available darkness” for Micro Four Thirds. Yes, we all love this lens. But what do Lens Tip have to say about it? Read their take on the Über-Nokton here.

The PhoBlographer has started an ongoing field review of the new Pentax K-5, which turned out to be quite a surprise. Coming in the same weather-proof, compact and functionally designed body as its predecessor the K-7, it ups the ante by sporting a new Sony CMOS sensor that delivers outstanding image quality, surpassing even the rivals from Canon and Nikon. What we would have though impossible just a couple months ago has become true — Pentax has brought a product that can not only compete with the major players in DSLR world, but that even surpasses them in several respects. If you’re curious to know what the guy from The PhoBlographer think, follow their multi-part field review here.
