NOTE - AUGUST 2010: Here's a great update of this collage from Billy Wilson, with a helpful grid,
new Micro Four Thirds cameras, and medium-format SLRs too. It's far more up-to-date than this
one.

My June 2008 DSLR camera collage is by far my most popular image on Flickr. This is an updated
version of that composite of publicity photos from various DSLR camera manufacturers, current as of the
beginning of January 2009. Images are 2006-2009 Nikon, Canon, Sony, Olympus, Panasonic, Leica,
Pentax, Samsung, Fuji, and Sigma. Thanks also to DP Review and DC Resource for making the images
easy to find.

Prices here range from around $450 (with lens) to $20,000+ (no lens). The smallest cameras in this
bunch are the Leica M8.2, Panasonic G1, and Olympus E-420. The heaviest are the pro monsters, the
Nikon D3/D3x, Canon 1D/1Ds Mark III, Sony A900 (with grip), and the upcoming Leica S2 medium format
DSLR.
What's new since the last collage are DSLRs that take movies (Nikon D90, Canon 5D Mark II), new form
factors at the low end (Panasonic G1 with interchangeable lenses but no mirror box) and high end (huge
sensor and lenses on the Leica S2), and renewed emphasis on low-light performance. Sony's and Nikon's
entry into the mega-megapixel race with the A900 and D3x are also interesting.
Relative camera sizes are not exact. The positions of the various models vaguely reflect my impressions
of a combination of price, features, and market segment. That's quite subjective, so you could easily
argue with my placement of some of them -- and sometimes I just had to bump things around to make
them fit. Take the image as a general guideline. Look down the columns to see how different cameras
from a single manufacturer compare from low-end to high-end; look across the rows to see roughly
comparable cameras (in features, price, or both) from different makers that compete with one another.
Have fun in the comments. I'll probably update this again in another six months.

i've got 3 of these of which my favorite ever has been the 20d. learning the 5d MK II now. :)

Derek K. Miller

(46 bulan yang lalu)

I have... none of them! My DSLR is a Nikon D50 (same res as the D40, still quite functional, if a
little slow on the burst mode and grainy at high ISO), and my film SLR is a Nikon F4 (still
absolutely awesome, and makes a great bludgeoning weapon in a pinch). Both no longer
made, of course.
See Billy Wilson's August 2010 update for the latest:

I'm not sure Nikon and Canon have enough cameras.

If money were no object I'd try out the Leica. However, my current idea is to someday switch
from Nikon to Pentax, due to the quality/price ratio. Plus then my father can't borrow my lenses
anymore.
Derek K. Miller

(46 bulan yang lalu)

My favourite reaction was the comment Axl Van Goks made on my last collage: "I like the black
one with the buttons and stuff."
Gillian, although it's low-end for you, just to be contrarian you should get the "stormtrooper
white" Pentax K2000D. I'm sure it'll get scuffed up and discoloured way too easily, though, like
a white MacBook. But you know, white cameras take better pictures!

This is great! I did a comparison for Canon Lenses:

Of course the Panasonic Lumix DMC-G1 is not a DSLR, but an EVIL (electronic viewfinder,
interchangeable lens). The G1 has no R (reflex).
Ref.: www.dpreview.com/previews/PanasonicG1/
I would agree that the black one with the buttons and stuff is the best one.

The Leica M8.2 is a rangefinder, not an SLR ;)

Anyway, I like the one with the biggest, most masculine lens.

Derek K. Miller

(46 bulan yang lalu)

The Leica M8 is indeed not an SLR (I noted that in my previous collage, but didn't here).
However, it's likely to be considered by people who would otherwise buy an SLR, something
that's not generally true of other rangefinder/point-and-shoot designs. It's also priced like a
high-end DSLR too! The Panasonic G1 is an interchangeable-lens design without a mirror (so
it's an EVIL or SLSR -- single lens sans reflex), so it's an outlier too.
The Leica S2 also might fit into the medium-format SLR category with cameras from
Hasselblad, Phase One, and others, rather than the 35 mm-style cameras elsewhere here. But
I decided to keep both Leicas and the G1 here because they're of interest to the same
audience as the rest of these machines. Plus, the Leica R9 no longer has a digital option
available, and the R10 hasn't been formally announced yet. If it is in six months, watch for it on
the next version.

Rarely has a "top left of the chart" item felt so damn good. Another D80 here, and I feel just
fine having five more products higher in the range.

Hey, my D400 is still there. It's not got too old to feature yet.
If technology were to stop advancing and this was the last refinement of the DSLR camera, it'd
be ok. Sure, we all want new toys, but the state of the DSLR market can be defined in two
words "just fine." What we have today is essentially good enough for a while.
Yes, I like new stuff and improvements, but it's safe to say DSLRs are past where 35mm was
when it died. Oh, and yes, 35mm is dead. Didn't you get the memo?
AurlienS (46 bulan yang lalu)
Interesting, why did you chose to put the D40x in 2008 and "only" the D40 in 2009?
Great collage anyway.

Derek K. Miller

(46 bulan yang lalu)

In the last collage, both the D40 and D40x were still on sale (along with the D60), and to save
space I only put in one of them because they look the same. (Same with Canon's 1D and 1Ds,
by the way, but I decided to include both this time.)
If you go to Nikon's product page today, the D40x is gone, with the D60 entirely taking its
place. So I put in the still-sold D40 but took out the D40x. And actually, if you look closely, it's
the same D40x image -- I just Photoshopped out the x! :)

Nice work. It would be interesting to see the Megapixel and price info.

Are all those Canons really still in active production?

Even considering that the 5D is on the outs, that's waaay too many choices. They really should
just cut it down to four:
-- the Rebel
-- the 50D
-- the 5DII
-- The 1-series
Derek K. Miller

(46 bulan yang lalu)

Someone shopping online or walking into a camera store will see a range of models, and they
might wonder if the Rebel XTi is different from the Rebel XSi -- and it is. The 40D and 50D are
different. The 1D and 1Ds are different. The D3 and D3x are different. Yeah, it's a judgment
call, but there you go.
I based my list on what appears on Canon's EOS camera page. I did much the same for other
manufacturers, though I did cheat a bit and omit the Nikon D200, even though Nikon still lists it
on their SLR page. I don't know anyone who would buy a new D200 now that the D90 and
D300 are available.
Hey, wait a minute! I could have sworn the original 5D was still there yesterday, and now it
isn't! Jeez, things change too fast. And yeah, the Nikon D80 is on the way out too, some of the
Panasonic, Fuji, Samsung, and Sigma cameras are really getting old... I'm not striving for
perfection here.

The Mamiya ZD is missing.

Derek K. Miller

(46 bulan yang lalu)

I knew that Leica S2 would get in trouble. I'm not adding the medium-format digicams from
Hasselblad, Mamiya, Phase One, etc. First, that's a whole new can of worms. Second, I don't
know enough about them to make sure I don't miss any.
You're welcome to make your own collage if you like, though!
hauxon

(46 bulan yang lalu)

Haha, but the Mamiya ZD camera is an intergrated DSLR, not a camera+digital back (but also
available as back). It's the only medium-format intergrated DSLR until the Leica S2 becomes
available.
Derek K. Miller

(46 bulan yang lalu)

Well, there you go, I had no idea. Maybe I'll add it to the next iteration of the diagram... or
maybe I'll remove the S2!
It does look like the ZD uses a detachable back, however. Am I wrong?
hauxon

(46 bulan yang lalu)

The ZD back is a different product. Both share the same 22MP 48x36mm sensor. ;-)

This image had the expected effect on my blog and Flickr traffic, but really, that's not the main
reason I made it...

...and now my old collage is approaching 40,000 views from all the new traffic too.
Roman Schmitz

(46 bulan yang lalu)

Nice collage, gives a nice overview. I don't really agree on where you placed the Sonys
though. The alpha 700 isn't better than a D90 imo, and the alpha 900 is no way close to a D3
or a 1D, I think even a D700 is a lot better. Anyway thanks for posting
Derek K. Miller

(46 bulan yang lalu)

I couldn't squish the Sonys together much more at the top. As I said, positioning is not precise.
The A700 is at least in D80 territory -- or was, when they were both new. The A900 is a tough
beast to position, yeah, probably more in 5D Mark II/D700 territory, but I bumped it down the
chart because it out-resolves the D700 and D3, even though those are better cameras overall.
The 5D Mark II would have been there too if the 1D weren't.

You should make your notes links to the camera page on flickr for each model.

Derek K. Miller

(46 bulan yang lalu)

Neat idea. My previous image had links to reviews of each camera, so I may do one or the
other, or both, when I get some time here.

kdaci (45 bulan yang lalu)

I think it's nor right to compare a Canon 40d with Nikon D90!!

Derek K. Miller

(45 bulan yang lalu)

Why not? The pricing is similar and they're in a comparable market segment (mid-level
enthusiast crop-frame DSLR) . But please remember, POSITIONS ARE NOT EXACT in the
collage. How would you change things so that they all still fit in the picture?
kdaci (45 bulan yang lalu)
I agree with the sensor size, but I would've put the 40D between D200 and D300. Another
thing that you can't compare the 40d with D90 is that it doesn't have recording at all like the
D90(HD). And at last, if you hold a D90 and 40D you'll see difference in size and material. I
think the 40D is more professionally made, even though it's older than the D90.
kdaci (45 bulan yang lalu)
Ow, i forgot, the review thing that you are doing is great. It's really attracting

Derek K. Miller

Thanks!

Lnandoo (45 bulan yang lalu)

the alpha 700 isn't better than d90? Are you saying this because the a700 can't record video??
HAHAHA.
I would say that the canon xs is better than sony a200 and a200 is better than nikon d40 and it
seems that you put all of them in the same range. anyways this is a very very good job my
friend.
Thank you and sorry for my english :)
Lnandoo (45 bulan yang lalu)
I agree, canon 40d is just better than nikon d90. If you want a video recorder then buy a video
recorder system.
at the moment video recorder cameras cannot replace a photo camera and a photo camera
cannot replace a videocamera, just as a cell phone camera cannot replace a point n shot
camera :)
im sorry for my english again.
Roman Schmitz

(45 bulan yang lalu)

No, I think the D90's "video" option is pointless. Personally I even prefer my D80 to an alpha
700 but that is not the question.
The Alpha 700 is horrid to use, the ergonomics are terrible (doesn't even have an upper screen
!!! ) buttons are unpractical and badly disposed. The performance at high ISO is disappointing,
it has no live view, it's not exactly cheap and last but not least the shutter sounds sick!
In comparison the D90 has excellent ergonomics, very good ISO performance, live view, it has
a reasonable price tag and sounds just right.
I'm a Sony fan but for now I really don't like their cameras. Although they have some really cool
features and some very good lenses, I think they've still a loooong way to go to become a
serious contender.

D700/5D/5D2 = niceeee.

Do you have them yet? Seems like a great camera, and the people I know who have one
certainly like it -- let us know once you get them in your hands how you feel about them then
too!

ok thats the wallpaper sorted what i really need is a 2009 camera calendar can't seem to find it
anywhere. I love cameras. bring on the camera p0rn

oscar_spanner (45 bulan yang lalu)

Nice work on the collage penmachine, but I often wonder about those (few) of you out there
saying this is better than that etc, on what evidence? None I guess just personal prefference or
mag and lad top trumps talk! I would be prepared to offer my soul to anyone that could tell
which is which or even much difference if presented with an A4 print of each...I don't own a
Sony (yet) but have had at one time or another had all the consumer Canon/Nikon/Oly's listed
here _ others D200, D70s 300D 350D (for reviewing purposes) - All great in there own right but
not one stood out image quality'wise as better than the next. A friend has a A200 & A700 and
the images she produces are amazing but she is a fantastic photographer and it wouldn't
matter what she was using, so concentrate on taking photos rather than slagging brand/models

Hear hear, Oscar. That's why they call this sort of stuff "camera porn." As many have said, it's
"not about the camera." And "98% of all lenses are better than 99% of all photographers" too.

SaganGathering (45 bulan yang lalu)

Regarding the Lumix G1: Realize that getting rid of the SLR mechanism is a *good* thing. SLR
mechs are something of an anachronism meant for film shooters.
I'll be happy to get rid of that SLR delay and SLR vibration.
There's no need for one ( SLR mech) in a digital camera, as long as the LCD is high quality.
And the G1 supposedly has the higest res LCD out now.
Some of us have been waiting for a cam like this for YEARS. Lumix just needs to refine this
proof-of-concept camera a little further.
dronaggarwal (45 bulan yang lalu)
....now which one to buy?

_peppo_ [terhapus] (45 bulan yang lalu)

so if you buy a pentax k20 instead of a nikon d300 you have the same quality and save a lot of
money..

Ken Zirkel

(45 bulan yang lalu)

A k20 is comparable to a d300, but not "the same".

snack happy

(45 bulan yang lalu)

Roman Schmiitz - try an image-stabilised A700 or A900 with a Zeiss 135/1.8 Sonnar and then
tell me again you don't like the Sony cameras. No top screen? Who gives a ****?
