Olympus EVOLT E-400 Digital SLR Review
Think Camera have reviewed the world’s smallest and lightest 10 megapixel Digital SLR, the E-400, it’s based on the 4/3rds Standard. The camera features a 2.5″ screen with 215,000 pixels, up to 3fps with a five image RAW buffer in burst mode shooting, anti-dust sensor, XD and CF memory card slots, 95% frame coverage, 0.92x magnification, ISO100 – 1600, measures 129.5mm (W) x 91mm (H) x 53mm (D) and weighs 380g (body only). The camera is currently only available in Europe and Asia. The E-400 with kit lens is available from £350.
“If you have small hands and want the full control of a DSLR for the size of a bridge camera you’re going to love the E400. It has a super compact design for a DSLR and provides reasonable performance for single shots. Images are mostly good if you avoid using auto white-balance.”

Sony Cybershot DSC-H9 Review
Cameralabshave reviewed the new Sony Cybershot DSC-H9. The H9 features a large 3″ screen that tilts upwards, a 15x optical zoom lens, ISO upto 3200, face detection focus, an 8 megapixel sensor and optical image stabilisation (called “Super Steady Shot”). The Sony DSC-H9 is available for £336 from Amazon:
“The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H9 certainly has a great deal going for it, but equally a number of aspects which really let it down. On the upside the 15x lens offers a great range bettered only by the Olympus SP-550UZ and the stabilisation really works. The H9 is additionally one of the quickest focusers in its class, so at last we have a non-DSLR which can genuinely take a stab at action or wildlife shots.”

Samsung GX-10 Digital SLR Review
Think Camera have reviewed the new 10 megapixel Samsung GX-10 Digital SLR, based on the Pentax K10D, it features a 2.5″ screen, anti-shake sensor, and weather-sealed body. The GX10 is available for £669 with kit lens, which is around the same price as the K10D!
“In all, Samsung’s GX10 is a good camera. It’s well designed, feature-rich and operates well. If you tweak the default settings it produces very good pictures and is backed up by useful shooting functions – the image stabiliser in particular is worth having. The camera feels good to use and will let you get on with making great pictures. There isn’t much to dislike.”

Sony Cybershot DSC-H9 Review
Megapixel.net have reviewed the new Sony Cybershot DSC-H9. The H9 features a large 3″ screen that tilts upwards, a 15x optical zoom lens, ISO upto 3200, face detection focus, an 8 megapixel sensor and optical image stabilisation (called “Super Steady Shot”). The Sony DSC-H9 is available for £336 from Amazon:
“The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H9 is another in the growing number of bridge cameras currently on the market.

Fujifilm FinePix S5 Pro DSLR Review
LetsGoDigital have reviewed the new Fujifilm FinePix S5 Pro – an update to the S3 Pro, it offers increased dynamic range, a new RP (Real Photo) Processor Pro for “film-like” results, ISO100 – ISO3200, durable metal alloy body frame, face-detection, and three new film simulation modes. The S5 Pro is available for £999 without lens:
“Despite these small critiques, I am very satisfied with the Fujifilm FinePix S5 Pro. It is a fine digital SLR camera to work with, with especially excellent image quality. Finally, the unique Fujifilm technology is combined with the appropriate body. It’s a DSLR camera which can accommodate, and won’t disappoint, most photographers.”

Nikon Coolpix S50 Review
Digital Camera Review have reviewed the new Nikon Coolpix S50c – it features a 7 megapixel sensor, a 3x optical zoom lens, a 3″ screen, slim body: 21mm, face-priority focus, lens shift Vibration Reduction (VR) image stabilization, built in wifi support (S50c only, another version, the S50 has the same features but lacks wifi), d-lighting, ISO upto 1600, and a stylish two-tone design. The Nikon Coolpix S50 is available for £214, while the S50c (with wifi) is available for £232:
“The Nikon Coolpix S50 produces very good image and color fidelity in a stylish compact digital camera, and the big 3 inch monitor makes smaller monitors seem obsolete by comparison. While lacking manual controls, the S50 offers new photographers a user-friendly device whose overall performance can only enhance the confidence of novice shooters.”
Sony Cybershot DSC-W80 Review
DCResource have reviewed the new Sony Cybershot DSC-W80. The camera features a 7 megapixel sensor, 3x optical zoom lens, a 2.5″ screen, Super Steady Shot (Optical image stabilisation), ISO upto 3200, and an optical viewfinder, and is available in silver, white, pink and black, and is available for £160 from Amazon.
“I’ve been a fan of Sony’s Cyber-shot W-series cameras for the last few years, so I had high hopes for the DSC-W80. While it has some nice improvements over earlier models, the DSC-W80′s sub-par image quality, lack of manual controls, and clunky interface were a disappointment. Same goes for the camera’s limited face detection and HD video output features, as well as its useless ISO 3200 mode.”
