There are literally hundreds of photography websites out there that provide reviews of digital camera gear, latest camera launches, buyers guides, etc etc. But over the years, whenever I want to see what’s new with camera gear, I’ve found myself going back to but a handful. These are sites that focus primarily on photography gear, NOT on photographers, celebrity-type news and how-to guides (although you can find this, especially in the forums.) If you want a list of sites that include say, how to shoot wide-angle landscapes or want to see whose forging ahead in the world of photography, subscribe to my photography blog and I’ll write another post shortly.

For now, here is a list of what I believe are the top-5 photography sites on the web that can really help you research the latest in camera gear. They each approach the industry a little differently.  On the other hand,

• dpreview.com - DP Review is probably, besides Amazon, the best known site for camera news & reviews. There’s a lot going on here, which can be both good and bad.
• fredmiranda.com – Fred Miranda tends to focus more on the serious photographer. That being said, it has some great lens and camera reviews, and, something that is pretty hard to find anywhere, a solid listing of camera tripod reviews
• steves-digicams.com – I haven’t been hear in a little while, and it looks like the site just went through a re-design. Regardless, I’ve enjoyed browsing the site in the past and it’s worth a look
• kenrockwell.com – Ken Rockwell’s site is both informative and entertaining. His piece on camera resolution …”Resolution, expressed in megapixels, is no longer relevant. Forget it when comparing cameras.” is worth the visit alone.
• amazon.com – Amazon is obviously very “corporate” but because of it’s vast reach and huge list of products, you can typically find at least a couple reviews on the digital camera you’re looking at.

Are there photography sites out there you like to visit? If so, let me know.
