Canon EOS 350D Digital Rebel XT Review

The Digital Picture review the Canon EOS 350D Digital Rebel XT DSLR:

"Canon expects the Digital SLR market to double in less than two years - largely because of the Canon EOS 350D Digital Rebel XT (Reuters). That is a high expectation for a new model. The 300D was a huge hit, and after using the Canon EOS 350D Digital Rebel XT, I expect it to be an even bigger hit. Canon has put much of their high end technology into a feature-filled, entry level priced DSLR. From fully automatic P&S (Point & Shoot) to fully manual control along with many modes between (including black & white), the Canon EOS 350D Digital Rebel XT offers something to both newbies and pros."

Fujifilm Finepix F810 Review - PhotographyBLOG

The The Fujifilm FinePix F810 has a full range of creative photographic options that will allow you take more control as your experience increases - its refreshing to see this on a compact digicam.

Nevertheless, they’ll be available for about the same price, retailing for $499. The 5-megapixel Z5 has a modified SLR-shape with a large right-hand grip on one side and a large 12x optical zoom lens on the other side.

Lexmark P315 Printer Review at DPNow

Digital Photography Now - Features - Printer reviews - Lexmark P315 Review: "The Lexmark P315 Portable Photo Printer, to quote its official name, is a competitively priced, compact ink-jet photo printer that prints 6x4 inch borderless photos. Obvious competitors include the HP Photosmart 325 and 375, Epson PictureMate and Canon Selphy DS700. None are significantly cheaper buy or run and on paper the Lexmark has the most features for the money. But is the Lexmark P315 a winner?"

SpotPhoto: Pentax *ist DS review

SpotPhoto review the new 6 megapixel DSLR Pentax *ist DS:

SpotPhoto: Pentax *ist DS review: "A bit surprisingly there's the least amount to say about shooting and pictures. It's actually a compliment to the camera because you know a good camera if it doesn't hinder your shooting and does not give reason to think about picture quality too much." (found at PhotographyBLOG)

Konica Minolta DiMAGE Z5 Review

Imaging-Resource review the new 5 megapixel Konica Minolta Dimage Z5, it's main features are below:

Imaging-Resource: "5.0-megapixel CCD delivers uninterpolated images as large as 2,560 x 1,920 pixels. Powerful 12x optical zoom lens covers a 35-420mm equivalent focus range. Integrated anti-shake system greatly extends usefulness of long zoom lens in lower light. Large 2.0' LCD monitor makes it easier to share just-captured photos, or confirm fine details."

HP Photosmart 8150 Review

Cameratown.com: "Think of the HP Photosmart 8150 as a PHOTO Kiosk that sits on your desk. It features a large 2.5-inch color LCD, an easy-to-use dial on the front for selecting page layouts quickly and easily, and six color inks that provide true photo quality color and resolution. An optional HP Gray Photo Cartridge is available for those who want true black & white prints."

Panasonic DMC-FX7 review

Pocket-Lint review the 5 megapixel Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX7 - an ultra compact, stylish digital camera with a 3x optical zoom lens, and a large 2.5" screen.

Pocket-Lint: "If you haven’t already guessed I like the FX7. It has a combination of high-technology features such as the large 2.5-inch screen and optical image stabilisation that make it a cut above and that’s before we get to the stylish all-metal and oh so shiny bodywork."

Epson P-2000 Multimedia Storage Viewer Review - PhotographyBLOG: "The Epson P-2000 Multimedia Storage Viewer is a storage device that allows you to download digital photos and movies onto its 40Gb hard-drive and then view them on its 3.8 inch colour LCD screen. The Epson P-2000 has built-in card slots for Compact Flash and SD memory cards and it also supports XD, Memory Stick, Smart Media and MMC cards via an optional adapter. The Epson P2000 will be of particular interest to digital SLR camera users as it can show a preview of some RAW file formats as well as JPEGs. You can connect the P-2000 directly to a PC or TV and it will even print directly onto compatible Epson printers. In addition the Epson P2000 can play digital music in the form of MP3 and AAC files.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ5 Review

digitalcamerainfo.com: "Making its debut at the 2005 Photo Marketing Association trade show in Orlando, the Panasonic FZ5 joined an expanding list of SLR-shaped digital cameras with long zoom lenses. The FZ5 distinguishes itself with one of the strongest fixed zooms out there: a Leica DC Vario-Elmarit 12x optical zoom lens with a popular image stabilization system, originally introduced on the earlier FZ3. With 5 megapixels on a 1/2.5-inch CCD, the FZ5 greatly improves on its 3-megapixel predecessor in terms of image quality and flexibility, though it takes only a baby step forward in visibility and LCD screen size, moderately expanding the tiny 1.5 inch screen to 1.8 inches. Designed slightly larger then the typical point-and-shoot camera, though significantly more condensed then most SLR-shaped models, the compact FZ5 will be available in April"

Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT / EOS 350D User Review

Steves Digicams - Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT / EOS 350D - User Review: "The Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT SLR takes everything found in the original Digital Rebel and improves the resolution to 8-megapixels, speeds up all of the camera operations, adds more creative control and put it all into a smaller and lighter body. This easy to use digital SLR is compatible with all Canon EF lenses including the EF-S lenses and still retains the sub-$1,000 price point for entry-level digital SLR consumers."

Casio Exilim Pro EX-P505 Review

Steves Digicams User Review: "The EXILIM PRO EX-P505 is a palm-sized yet high-performance digital camera with amazing still image and video capability. The EX-P505 features a 5X optical zoom, a 5.0 megapixel CCD imager, Casio’s “EXILIM engine”, and a large 2-inch TFT color rotating screen that makes angle shots a snap. It offers the same manual operation found on the EX-P600 and EX-P700, as well as high-quality video shooting capability at 30 frames per second, in VGA thanks to the incorporation of MPEG-4 technology."

SanDisk Photo Album review at DPNow

Digital Photography Now - Features - Accessories - SanDisk Photo Album review: "SanDisk is best known for being one of the big-league players in the memory card manufacturing stakes, but SanDisk also has a growing line of accessory products, like its sleek new Photo Album, which cleverly makes the experience of viewing photos on TV more appealing than than it has been. So why use something like SanDisk's Photo Album in the first place? One of the many advantages of digital photography is that you can forget about that old slide projector and bulky screen and display your photos on your TV."

Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT (350D) Hands on Review

Photo.net have a hands on review of the new 8 megapixel DSLR Canon Digital Rebel XT / 350D:

"It's small. I know the specifications give you the size, but there's nothing like picking up the camera and holding it. In fact for me it's on the verge of being too small. Now I'm a 6ft male, so my hands are, I guess, fairly large. If I was a 5ft female, maybe the size would be perfect. The image below shows the Digital Rebel XT compared to several other cameras"

Canon Digital Rebel XT 350D User Review

Digital Cameras - Canon Digital Rebel XT Digital Camera Review: "If smaller didn't make the Rebel XT better for some, faster should do the trick for most. This new little powerhouse now has the same DiGiC II processor that powers the EOS 1Ds Mark II. Its influence shows in the quicker shutter response, improved buffer clearing speed, and greater frame-per-second throughput. Maxing out at three frames per second, the little Rebel can capture a conservative 13 frames before the buffer is filled. Canon themselves claim 14 frames of buffer depth, but w consistently got 13 frames in our studio with the worst-case color-noise target we use for timing analysis. With varying subjects and a Lexar 80x 2GB card, I've gone on as far as 40 frames. It's far better than the old Digital Rebel's four frames of capacity, to be sure."

Olympus Camedia C-7070 Wide Zoom Review

Megapixel.net review the new 7 megapixel, 3.5x wide optical zoom lens Olympus C-7070 digital camera:

"Jumping from a 5 megapixel to a 7 megapixel, the Olympus Camedia C-7070 Wide Zoom is the next incarnation of the C-5060, a camera that was very well-received at the beginning of 2004. The body design of the C-7070 is identical to the C-5060 and the observations we made in January of 2004 while reviewing that camera are as pertinent for this new version. The C-7070 is a big compact, housed in a high-strength body and featuring a hinged 1.8 inch LCD monitor."

Canon PowerShot A520 Review

Imaging-Resource review the new 4 megapixel, 4x optical zoom Canon Powershot A520:

"The Canon PowerShot A520 is the latest in a long line of well-built digital cameras from Canon. Canon U.S.A. has long been a strong contender in the film and digital camera markets, well-known for its high-quality optics, technical innovations, and aggressive product development. The 4.0-megapixel Canon A520 updates this extensive line with a longer-ratio zoom lens, more compact form factor, and a few other unique features, increasing the camera's already great flexibility."

Fuji FinePix F450 Review

PhotographyBLOG review the 5 megapixel, 3.4x optical zoom Fuji FinePix F450:

"The Fujifilm FinePix F450 is the top of the range square-styled digital camera in the Fujifilm range. The Finepix F450 replaces the 3 megapixel Finepix F420 that I reviewed in August 2004. The F450 adds a number of extra features, the most obvious being a new larger 5.2 megapixel sensor. In addition, the F450 is even smaller and lighter than its predecessor, yet can still squeeze in a bigger 2 inch LCD screen."

Olympus Evolt E-300 review at CNET

CNET Reviews: "The uniquely styled 8-megapixel Evolt E-300 from Olympus enters the expanding field of entry-level, sub-$1,000 digital SLR (dSLR) cameras. As with the more pro-oriented Olympus E-1, the E-300 conforms to the Four-Thirds standard for interchangeable-lens dSLRs, which in theory guarantees interoperability between cameras and lenses from any manufacturer that adopts it in the future. With the E-300 kit, Olympus starts you out with a 14mm-to-45mm, f/3.5-to-f/5.6 zoom lens (28mm-to-90mm in 35mm-equivalent terms), and the camera offers a satisfactory feature set, crisp performance, and good build quality for the price."

Epson L-500V review at Pocket-Lint

Epson L-500V review: "The Epson L-500V has been created, says Epson, to appeal to those snappers not enamoured of digital cameras with small LCDs. And the result is a stylish compact camera that has the ‘world’s highest resolution’ colour screen at 256 pixels per inch."

The C-7070 shares many of the features of its predecessor, including a wide-angle 4X zoom lens, two memory card slots, dual focusing system, full manual controls, and a unique LCD display."

Making Images - Not Taking Images

Making Images - Not Taking Images: "Taking an image and making an image are two completely different animals. What I often see in landscape photography are photographers taking beautiful pictures, and performing minimal work on the image in postproduction before printing the image. For these photographers, they believe that their work relies on mastering the tools at hand – the camera and lens – and using them to best advantage in the field – not working on the image in postproduction."

Konica Minolta DiMAGE Z5 Review

TrustedReviews: "The Z5 is the latest addition to the series, and comes in at the top of the range. With a five megapixel sensor, a 2in LCD monitor, a huge 12x optical zoom lens and Konica Minolta’s innovative image stabilisation system it has a specification that is a match for almost any camera that’s currently available at this price. It’s fair to say that the Z5’s unusual design may not appeal to everyone, but you should at least give it a chance, because under that odd-looking exterior is a very capable camera."

Casio Exilim EX-Z57 First Impressions Review

digitalcamerainfo.com: "The Exilim EX-Z57 is yet another Casio addition to the increasingly skinny point-and-shoot market, aimed at consumers searching for both style and convenience. This 5-megapixel digital camera definitely tops the charts for portability and style. Its thin, flat profile makes it easy to pitch in a shirt or pants pocket. The camera is incredibly light, but the aluminum frame gives the body some substance and credibility."

Fujifilm Finepix S5500 Review - PhotographyBLOG

Fujifilm Finepix S5500 Review - PhotographyBLOG: "The Fujifilm FinePix S5500 Zoom is the successor to the 3 megapixel Fujifilm FinePix S5000 Zoom that I reviewed back in June 2004. The Fujifilm S5500 looks very much like a traditional SLR camera in terms of styling, but it is actually more like a compact digital camera in size and weight. Despite its diminutive dimensions, the Fuji FinePix S5500 Zoom sports a massive 10x optical zoom which is equivalent to 37-370mm on a 35mm camera."

Concord Eye-Q 5062AF 5-megapixel DigiCam Review

Geek.com have a mini-review of the 5 megapixel Concord Eye-Q 5062AF - a digital camera with a 1.8" screen and no optical zoom:

"I recommend that buyers looking for a good quality digital camera at a decent price try to find a lower resolution model of a higher quality brand like Pentax, Canon, or Sony. Concord packs a lot of features in its cameras for a low price, but I am not willing to sacrifice quality for price since most moments only happen once in a lifetime."

Canon PIXMA MP760 All-In-One Printer Review

Cameratown review the PIXMA MP760 all in one (scanner/printer) printer with built in 2.5" screen, and memory card reader:

"Canon's New PIXMA MP760 Photo All-In-One, introduced at PMA 2005, is Canon's first All-In-One that could be called an "At Home Photo Lab." The large 2.5" color LCD screen and integrated 8-in-1 memory card reader allow printing directly from memory cards - without a PC. In addition, the MP760 features a built-in full color photo scanner, which will scan documents, magazines or photos as large as 8.5" x 11.7", as well as 35mm negatives and slides - thanks to the integrated backlighting. At a suggested street price of $299, the MP760 gives you more per-square-foot than any other multi-function in its class."

Sony Cybershot DSC-P200 Review

Imaging-Resource review the 7 megapixel Sony Cybershot DSC-P200 digital camera, with a 3x optical zoom lens, and 2" screen:

"The Sony DSC-P200's shape and compact size rank it among the smaller Cyber-shots on the market, perfect for travel and leisurely outings. The camera definitely passes the "shirt pocket" test, and would even fit into a rather small handbag. The P200's compact shape isn't all the camera has to offer though. A 7.2-megapixel CCD and an all-glass, 3x zoom lens deliver sharp, clear pictures, suitable for printing as large as 11x17 inches, even with some cropping. There's also an email image size option that creates files with smaller pixel dimensions for sending over the Internet. Plus, the handful of preset Scene modes handle a wide range of common exposure situations, from beach scenes to night shots."
