Nikon Coolpix P510, L810, L310

Nikon has announced a trio of superzoom cameras, one falling into the P (performance) series and two in the L (life) series.

Sony Alpha A65 review

The Sony Alpha A65 is the latest SLT (Single Lens Translucent) model to hit the shelves, following in the footsteps of the higher-spec, pricier A77.
