Fujifilm FinePix J50 Review by Trusted Reviews

Review (Summary): "Just a couple of years ago the J50 would have been a flagship model, but as modern compact cameras go, it actually has a pretty average specification. Longer zoom lenses are quickly becoming the norm, so the f/3.2 - f/4.8, 37 - 185mm equivalent 5x zoom lens on the J50 is nothing out of the ordinary. The 1/2.5-inch 8.2-megapixel CCD doesn't stand out from the crowd, and even the larger-than-average 2.7-inch 230k dot LCD monitor is far from special. ...

Ricoh G600 Waterproof Camera Review by PhotoReview

Review (Summary): "Ricoh's G600 is the latest in a line of compact, point-and-shoot digicams that have been designed for the Japanese public works sector. Featuring a shock-proof, waterproof and dust-resisting body it is the most versatile models to date. With a 10-megapixel imager and 5x optical zoom lens equivalent to 28-140mm in 35mm format, it should appeal to adventurous photographers. ...

Fujifilm FinePix S8100fd Review by ePhotoZine

Review (Summary): "The design of the Fujifilm FinePix S8100fd takes some getting used to. Ergonomically, it's brilliant as the grip fits your hand comfortably with the zoom at your index finger and function buttons in easy reach of your thumb on the back. The Fujinon f/2.8-4.5 18x optical zoom lens has a 38.1mm filter thread on it which is nearly impossible to get accessories for. Unless you go to Fuji, that is. ...

Ricoh Caplio R8 Review by ePhotoZine

Review (Summary): "The new retro styling of the Ricoh R8 has a feeling of traditional mixed with contemporary. A bit like finding a Starbucks in a church. ...The basic rectangular shape has a zoom lens on the front that's not only huge in performance, but also in physical appearance. I know that 7x optical isn't the largest zoom in the world, I reviewed the Olympus SP-570 a few days ago and that has a 20x optical, but for the size of the body, a zoom this big is pretty good. ...

Casio Exilim EX-Z80 Review by Steves-Digicams

Review (Summary): "The smallest of the "Z" (zoom) cameras that Casio has introduced so far this year is the Exilim EX-Z80. This ultra-compact 8-megapixel camera with its "easy mode" is so simple to use the only thing you need to do is turn on the camera, point and shoot, and the camera does the rest. " ...

Olympus Evolt E-420 Review by Trusted Reviews

Review (Summary): "Hailed as the world's smallest and lightest DSLR, the Olympus E-420 replaces the E-410 in the Olympus Four-Thirds system line-up. With 10 million effective pixels, from a total of 11.8 million, it seems like Olympus may have hit a bottleneck with the four-thirds sensor. ...

Pentax K200D Digital SLR Review by Photography Blog

Review (Summary): "At first glance the Pentax K200D simply looks like an incremental upgrade of the K100D Super, with relatively few additions on offer apart from the 10 megapixel resolution (up from 6 megapixels) and a couple of new buttons. Thankfully Pentax have also made a substantial number of improvements under the hood that help improve on what was already an excellent camera, borrowing both the sensor and other features from the K10D. ...

Ricoh Caplio GR Digital II Review by Trusted Reviews

Review (Summary): "The GR Digital II is a replacement for the original GR Digital which Ricoh launched in 2005. ...It has the same high quality non-zoom f/2.4 GR lens with a focal length of 5.9mm, equivalent to a fixed 28mm wide-angle. In fact sitting the two camera side-by-side it's hard to tell them apart at first glance. ...

Sony Cyber-shot DSLR-A200 Review by Digital Camera Info

Review (Summary): "Many of the A200?s features are identical to the A100: 10.2-megapixel resolution, an image stabilization system built into the camera body, and an automatic dust removal system. The A-200's dimensions are just a hair smaller than the A-100, but the price tag is significantly more petite. ...

Nikon D700 Digital SLR Review by DPReview

Hands-on Preview (Summary): "The introduction of Nikon's new D700 may been one of the worst kept secrets in an industry with more leaks than the Titanic, but it was still something of a surprise coming so hot on the heels of the D3 and D300. Essentially a D3 shrunk down and squeezed into a body roughly the same size as a D300, the D700 is Nikon's first 'compact' professional SLR, and seems designed to go head-to-head with whatever Canon has up its inscrutable sleeve to replace the EOS 5

Pentax K20D Digital SLR Review by DPReview

Review (Summary): "Having risked being left behind by the speed at which the 'affordable' DSLR market developed, Pentax showed how serious its intentions were with the K10D, a semi-pro-level DSLR with a features list to humble the competition at a very attractive price. Having added so many bells and whistles to the K10D, it's not much of a surprise to find that its successor, the K20D, is essentially a refinement of the same design. ..
