The Phottix BG-5DIII battery grip is a budget-friendly alternative to Canon's BG-E11 battery grip for the EOS 5D Mark III, allowing you to double the battery life and enhance handling when shooting vertical format images. Can it do the same job for less cash, or should you save up for the Canon-branded accessory? Find out in our review.

The pixel-peeping moment has arrived for the Ricoh GR with the APS-C sensor, the 2013 model. Dxomark published their lab test results on the camera. They have their introduction followed by image quality discussion, followed by the comparison to other cameras and their spartan conclusions. For more opinions on the Ricoh GR (APS-C), check its currently spartan list of completed reviews. As of the time of writing, the Ricoh GR (APS-C) remains in pre-order state for $800 at Amazon and Adorama and B&H Photo.

The Nikon Coolpix P330 came out without a lot of fanfare, a modest compact with RAW camera, not even the line-up leader among Nikon Coolpix 1/1.x" cameras (P7700, P7100, etc). But it is now getting its fifteen minutes of fame after Dxomark published their test results. Dxomark analyzes their findings and discusses its numbers relatively to cameras with larger sensors, including Nikon's own "Angry Inch" system and the Fuji X-F1. The Coolpix P330 currently ranks #162 at the Dxomark Sensor Rankings, ahead of some older M43rds cameras from both Panasonic and Olympus, ahead of some of Nikon's 1-System cameras, ahead of Nikon's Coolpix P7700 (current line-up leader of their 1/1.x" cameras), the Fuji X10 and more.
