If you’ve read the review of Nividia’s GeForce GTX 295 card on cnet.com, you might be able to guess our assessment of this overclocked, Asus-packaged version of AMD’s ATI Radeon HD4870X2. Simply, for $550–$50 more than the Nvidia card–the amped up Radeon card gives you less performance and uses more power along the way. The only solace we can offer for AMD is that this card has a minor (borderline irrelevant) software support advantage, and a mildly easier setup process. Whether you value those features or not, the primary reason for purchasing an expensive 3D card is speed. And in the high-end price range, the Radeon EDHD4870X2 …

Sony makes a point of not calling this a “professional” camera, instead referring to it as the “flagship” model of its dSLR line. However, it’s priced like a pro model, and its full-frame competitors–the Nikon D700 and the Canon EOS 5D Mark II–are widely, though not exclusively, used by professionals. Finally, with such a high-resolution sensor you need a really sharp, preferably fast lens such as the Zeiss 24-70mm f2.8 we tested it with; lenses such as that are expensive and generally out of reach for all but professionals.
Furthermore, Sony provides some of the most innovative and pro-friendly accessories we’ve seen, such as its sideways rotating HVL-F42AM flash and VG-C90AM battery grip, which almost exactly …
