Ricoh GX200 Review at Trusted Reviews
Trusted Reviews have reviewed the new 12 megapixel Ricoh GX200 – it features a wide angle 24mm 3x optical zoom lens, vibration correction, 1cm macro, ISO1600, and a 2.7″ screen. The GX200 with electronic viewfinder included, is available for £399, the GX200 Standard will be available for £349.
“Ricoh has tried to make a camera for the enthusiast photographer, a camera that the pro or enthusiast could slip into his pocket for a day and make sure he can still get a great shot. Design-wise, the company has pulled it off. The tough little camera is a beauty to hold and a joy to use, and I couldn’t wait to see the pictures. It’s the imaging aspect that’s a disappointment though, and really lets the camera and Ricoh’s ambitions down. The 12MP sensor and processing combination is frankly poor.”

Sony Cybershot DSC-W300 Review
DPExpert have reviewed the new 13.6 megapixel Sony Cybershot DSC-W300 – the W300 has a Scratch-resistant titanium coating, Smile Shutter, improved Face Detection and D-Range Optimiser, a 3x optical zoom lens, ISO 6400, a 2.7-inch (230k dot) screen, and Super Steady Shot, the camera is available for £199:
“At 100 per cent enlargement there is some evidence of noise reduction blurring of fine detail, but it is so well done that it is comparable with the best after-camera noise reduction software. OK, let’s go out on a limb here – this is the best compact that we have tested. The Sony W series has always been good, but this one is amazing.”

Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ50 Review
Digital Camera Review have reviewed the new Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ50 – an update to the TZ5 – the TZ50 adds WIFI, T-Mobile HotSpot, and Picasa support on top of the cameras usual features of a wide angle 28mm 10x optical zoom lens with optical image stabilisation, 9 megapixel sensor, and 3.0″ screen. The camera will be available soon.
“When everything is said and done, although the TZ50 allows you to wirelessly upload your images to your Picasa web gallery the process isn’t nearly as easy as it might sound. Since the TZ5 can be purchased for a full $100 less than the TZ50, I suspect most average consumers will be happier uploading images the “old fashioned way” directly from their desktop or laptop computers rather than stumbling through the clunky Wi-Fi interface on the TZ50.”
Pentax K20D Digital SLR Review
DPReview have published their review of the new Pentax K20D Digital SLR – the camera, which shares a lot of DNA with the Samsung GX20, features a 14.6 megapixel CMOS sensor, with live-view, Expanded Dynamic Range, Dust Reduction, Shake Reduction, a dust-proof, weather-resistant body, 11 point AF, and ISO upto 6400. The Pentax K20D is available for £669 body only:
“The Pentax K20D could be seen as a K10D Mk2, a camera that attempts to move on while putting right the minor flaws in its predecessor. And in that respect, it’s a huge success. The K20D builds on the strengths of its forebear and corrects for the issue that plagued us most.”

Digital Camera Makers Create Confusion
Digital Home Thoughts have published an article entitled: “How Digital Camera Makers Create Consumer Confusion” – the article explains that camera manufacturers offer too many variations of the same camera, or so little difference between different camera models, that consumers are confused as to which model is actually best for them.
“Here’s a radical idea: how about fewer product choices, released less often (say, only when there’s really been an improvement in the technology)? What about releasing new cameras that are actually significantly better than previous generations? It’s so crazy, it just might work.”
Fujifilm FinePix F100fd Review
Imaging Resource 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, and ISO upto 12800(at 3mp). The Fuji F100fd is available for £160:
“The Fujifilm FinePix F100fd is capable in a variety of situations, typically getting good color and exposure even under harsh lighting conditions. Its performance is limited indoors, however, with poor low light results and limited flash range. Still, as an outdoor camera, the FinePix F100fd records some amazing resolution for such a small camera.”

It is available in Ice Blue, Sable Black, Chrome Green, Champagne Pink and Diablo Red from £108
“The Fujifilm FinePix Z20fd is designed to appeal to a particular demographic, and will probably find itself living in a small fashionable handbag next to a pink Motorola Razr mobile phone. For under £90 it delivers eye-catching style, durable build quality and simplicity of operation, along with reasonable performance and some fun features.”
