Olympus Mju Stylus 1030SW Review Online!

We've just uploaded our review of the new Olympus Mju Stylus 1030SW - a compact 10 megapixel digital camera that is shockproof to 2 metres, waterproof to 10 metres, crushproof to 100kg, dustproof, scratchproof and freezeproof. It also features a wide angle 3.6x optical zoom lens, 2.7" screen, 24 scene modes, and VGA movie mode at 30fps. It is available in black, silver and green from £215:

"If you want a rugged digital camera then this is it - it's probably the toughest digital camera currently available. If you have children who want to play with all your toys, but you don't want to worry about them breaking them, then this camera is perfect. In fact, if you just want an ultra compact digital camera then this would also be a very good choice... especially as it's priced on par with other ultra compact cameras."

Samsung NV40 Review at Photography BLOG

Photography BLOG have reviewed the new Samsung NV40 - a 10 megapixel digital camera with a 3x optical zoom lens, optical image stabilisation, 2.5" screen, face detection and ISO3200. The Samsung NV40 is available in silver or black from £144

"The NV40 represents a further refinement of Samsung's radical approach to the compact camera market, but it's not exactly a massive leap forward, being very similar to the previous NV20 model. The notable changes are a decrease in resolution to 10.5 megapixels, which must be the first time that's ever happened, true mechanical image stabilisation, Auto Contrast Balance function, Self portrait mode and a Photo Style Selector."

Sony Cybershot DSC-T2 Review

Think Camera have reviewed the new Sony Cybershot DSC-T2 - the ultra compact camera features an 8 megapixel sensor, 3x optical zoom lens, a 2.7" touch screen, optical image stabilisation, and 4GB (4000mb) of internal memory! It is available in black, white, pink, blue and lime green, for £182.

"While the Sony DSC-T2 could have quite easily been a sad case of style over substance, it proves itself to be a more than capable camera. It's easy to use, fast and responsive, has bags of excellent features and takes a damn fine photo most of the time. What's not to like!"

General Electric GE E840s Review

Trusted Reviews have reviewed the new GE E840s. The camera features an 8 megapixel sensor, a 4x optical zoom lens, and is available in a number of colours including red from £96.

"Considering its exceptionally low cost, the General Electric E840s is a much better camera than I had expected. It's not without a couple of flaws, but its design, build quality, handling, performance and results are far from disappointing, and a fair match for similarly priced cameras from Casio, Pentax and Fujifilm."

Nikon Coolpix P600 Review

Trusted Reviews have reviewed the new 10 megapixel Nikon Coolpix S600 - it's part of their "Style" range - it features a wide angle 4x optical zoom lens with optical image stabilisation, a 2.7" screen, and is available in Titanium Silver and Urban Black. The Nikon Coolpix S600 is available for £209

"The Nikon CoolPix S600 is a great-looking camera with a good practical list of features, especially its useful zoom range and outstanding monitor screen. It is well made, simple to use and takes superb pictures. However it very expensive, and its fiddly controls and less-than-stellar performance don't compare well to its main rivals."

Sony Cybershot DSC-S750 Review

Imaging Resource have reviewed the new Sony Cybershot DSC-S750 - a budget digital camera featuring a 7 megapixel sensor - a 3x optical zoom lens, face detection, 2.5" screen, ISO upto 1250, and take Lithium-Ion batteries. The S750 is available for £104:

"The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-S750 is a fairly basic point-and-shoot digital camera. It does offer a 7.2-megapixel CCD, a 3x optical zoom lens and enhanced Sony features like Face Detection and an array of preset scene modes. However, image quality is lacking, and problems with image noise and color accuracy should push consumers to look at other cameras in this class."

Nikon Coolpix P60 Review

DPExpert have reviewed the new 8 megapixel Nikon Coolpix P60 - it's part of their "Performance" range - it features a 5x optical zoom lens with optical image stabilisation, a 2.5" screen, and is available in Black for £169.

"This is an 8 megapixel camera with sensor shift image stabilisation and a 5x zoom lens (36–180mm film equivalent). The body is well made and looks like a camera, not a fashion accessory. The bulge on the right hand end holds two AA batteries and serves as a grip. There is an electronic viewfinder to supplement the LCD."

Fujifilm FinePix F100fd Review

Digital Camera Review have reviewed the new Fujifilm FinePix F100fd - the new "top of the range" F series camera features a 12 megapixel sensor, a wide angle 5x optical zoom lens, a 2.7" screen, Wide Dynamic Range, Dual Image Stabilisation (anti-shake sensor), Face Detection 3.0 Technology, ISO upto 12800(at 3mp), and it's also the first F series camera to feature manual aperture and shutter settings since the F31. The Fuji F100fd is available for £179:

"Good shutter performance, stabilization, that 28mm wide angle lens, still the best high ISO performance I've come across in current production point-and-shoots, and a simple, fairly intuitive layout and operation make this camera easy and friendly to use. Consider the wider dynamic range as icing on the cake."

"After testing the Canon EOS 450D I am really satisfied with the camera. It is a perfect camera for everybody. If you are just starting with (digital) photography or if you are a bit more experienced, and whether or not you switch from a compact camera, the Canon 450D enables you to take excellent pictures. Moreover, it comes at an extremely affordable price."

Canon EOS 40D Digital SLR Review

Gizmodo have reviewed the new Canon EOS 40D Digital SLR - it features a 10 megapixel CMOS Sensor and DIGIC III image processor, 6.5fps shooting, 9 point AF, EOS sensor cleaning, Live view mode, it takes compact flash cards and has a 3" screen. The 40D is available for £629

"Canon's 40D DSLR is their lower end prosumer DSLR, a step above the Rebel series cams. It has, most notably a 10.1 megapixel rating and 3-inch LCD screen, Canon's latest DIGIC III processor and live view. I used the 30D and more recently the 40D for all Gizmodo's major liveblogging, so you've been seeing what the cam can do for some time now."

Canon Powershot A580 Review

Imaging Resource have reviewed the new Canon Powershot A580 - it features an 8 megapixel sensor, a 4x optical zoom lens, a 2.5" screen, face detection focus, and takes AA batteries. The Canon A580 is available for £99:

"No entry-level bargain camera is going to score highly on our comprehensive tests, but the Canon PowerShot A580 proved to be pretty scrappy. Thanks to its DIGIC III processor, its performance was nothing to sneeze at. And the same imaging engine gave it some very helpful tools like motion detection and face detection that Canon has harnessed in unique and interesting ways."

Fujifilm FinePix F100fd Review

Trusted Reviews have reviewed the new Fujifilm FinePix F100fd - the new "top of the range" F series camera features a 12 megapixel sensor, a wide angle 5x optical zoom lens, a 2.7" screen, Wide Dynamic Range, Dual Image Stabilisation (anti-shake sensor), Face Detection 3.0 Technology, ISO upto 12800(at 3mp), and it's also the first F series camera to feature manual aperture and shutter settings since the F31. The Fuji F100fd is available for £186:

"This camera probably won't many win plaudits for style, it looks quite bland, with little wow factor, but it produces the goods. It's well made, easy to operate and has a feature set that appeals to the photographic savvy. However it would be nice to have some more manual control such as aperture and shutter, and a histogram would also be nice."

Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5 Review

DCResource have reviewed the new Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5 - the camera features a wide angle 28mm 10x optical zoom lens with optical image stabilisation, 9 megapixel sensor, and 3.0" screen. The camera will be available in March in silver, black, and blue. The TZ5 also features Digital Red-eye Correction, and is available for £229

"Overall, I was very pleased with the DMC-TZ5's photo quality. They were generally well-exposed, with nice vivid color. There were a few exceptions though, including blown highlights in one or two photos (example), and poor auto white balance performance in two others. In terms of sharpness, the TZ5's photos are on the softer side, though not enough for me to mark it down as a negative."

Canon EOS 450D Rebel XSi DSLR Review

Steves Digicams have reviewed the new Canon EOS 450D / Digital Rebel XSi - a 12.2 megapixel update to the 400D - it features 3.5fps shooting, live view shooting, 9 point AF, 3" screen, SD memory card support, and Canon's dust reduction system. The 450D Body only is priced at £538, the EOS 450D with 18-55mm IS kit is £539.

"The Canon EOS Rebel XSi is whole lot of camera for an entry-level model. It's stellar performance and superb image quality offer a lot to the first-time dSLR user. The 12-megapixel sensor means you can print gorgeous 11 x 17 enlargements on a color printer, like Canon's PIXMA Pro9500. We were happy the XSi now uses the popular SD and SDHC memory cards, and thankful for the addition of the EOS Integrated Cleaning System."

Sigma DP1 Review at Shutterbug

Shutterbug have reviewed the new Sigma DP1. The Sigma DP1, first shown at Photokina, features the same full size 14 Megapixel Foveon sensor (2652 × 1768 × 3 layers) as featured in the Sigma SD14 Digital SLR, the camera has a 16.6mm lens, equivalent to 28mm, a 2.5" screen and a pop-up flash. The camera is available for £613 from Amazon:

"I worked with the DP1 over the course of a few weeks and found image quality to be excellent in both the Fine JPEG and Raw modes. As of this writing there is no Raw converter in Lightroom or Adobe Camera Raw for CS3, so you have to process the Raw images using the Sigma software. I am told by Sigma that they are working with Adobe to get this straightened out. My advice is to convert using the software and do the rest of the work in your image editor of choice."

Sony Alpha A300 Digital SLR Review

Cameralabs have reviewed the new 10 megapixel Sony Alpha A300 Digital SLR - the camera features a live view 2.7" swivel screen, in body image stabilisation, anti-dust sensor coating, ISO3200, 3fps shooting, and dynamic range optimisation. The camera is be available from £339 with lens:

"Other positive features include the friendly Function menu system, on-screen percentage battery meter, the ability to use not only the same battery as the A200, but also its optional grip, and crucially like all Alpha DSLRs, built-in sensor-shift stabilisation which works with any lens you attach."

Nikon D300 Digital SLR Review

Photoxels have reviewed the new Nikon D300 Digital SLR - it features a 12.3 megapixel sensor, 6 fps (8 fps with optional battery) shooting, dust reduction, live view modes, 3" screen, weather resistant seals, and ISO upto 3200. The D300 is available from Amazon for £999

"You get superb handling, exceptional performance, a large, bright and clear optical viewfinder, a body sealed against dust and mositure, and excellent image quality with low noise and preserved detail up to ISO 800. Noise that is present at higher ISOs is Luminance noise and gives pictures a film-like grain appearance."

Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5 Review

Digital Camera Review have reviewed the new Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5 - the camera features a wide angle 28mm 10x optical zoom lens with optical image stabilisation, 9 megapixel sensor, and 3.0" screen. The camera will be available in March in silver, black, and blue. The TZ5 also features Digital Red-eye Correction, and is available for £249

"At the end of the day, I came away with mixed feelings about the TZ5. It's a competent package that continues to do something relatively unique, and it will still get the job done with style and speed in most cases. Choosing to break little from the heritage of the TZ line, though, I can't help but feel that it's not as outstanding as it easily could have been."

Canon Digital IXUS 90 IS SD790 Review

Photography BLOG have reviewed the new Canon Digital IXUS 90 IS / Powershot SD790 IS - the ultra compact camera features a 10 megapixel sensor, a 3x optical zoom lens with optical image stabilisation, a 3" screen, and the battery life is rated at 330 shots. The IXUS 90 IS is available for £205:

"Its squarish, tank-like design is something of a throwback to the solid feel, boxy original models in the series at the turn of the millennium, which, although priced a little higher than competitors, felt worth the extra outlay; happily that same impression is the one delivered by the modern day Canon Digital IXUS 90 IS."

Fujifilm FinePix F100fd Review

NeoCamera have reviewed the new Fujifilm FinePix F100fd - the new "top of the range" F series camera features a 12 megapixel sensor, a wide angle 5x optical zoom lens, a 2.7" screen, Wide Dynamic Range, Dual Image Stabilisation (anti-shake sensor), Face Detection 3.0 Technology, ISO upto 12800(at 3mp), and it's also the first F series camera to feature manual aperture and shutter settings since the F31. The Fuji F100fd is available for £186:

"The 2.7” LCD screen is simply superb. Outdoor visibility is excellent, even in direct sunlight. The anti-reflective coating really does its job well. Images on the screen are sharp and fluid. The display also has a clear mode which is activated using the F-button menu. In this mode, the F100's LCD refreshes at a higher rate and maintains a very fluid preview while providing a brighter image."

Sigma DP1 Foveon Digital Camera Review

Prime-Junta have reviewed the new Sigma DP1. The Sigma DP1, first shown at Photokina, features the same full size 14 Megapixel Foveon sensor (2652 × 1768 × 3 layers) as featured in the Sigma SD14 Digital SLR, the camera has a 16.6mm lens, equivalent to 28mm, a 2.5" screen and a pop-up flash. The camera is available for £616 from Amazon:

"The Sigma DP1 represents a direction in digital camera design that I desperately want to succeed. It doesn't attempt to be something for everyone; rather, it is designed for a more narrow mission, and is designed to perform that as well as possible. It combines extremely compact size with a superb 28 mm equivalent, f/4.0 lens, and an APS-C sized, 4.7 million pixel location Foveon X3 sensor."
