Sony DSC-S730
Friday, 28 December 2007 10:20 GMT
Sony has announced the imminent availability of its Cyber-Shot DSC-S730, a 7.2 MP entry-level digicam with 3x optical zoom and 2.4" LCD. The emphasis here is firmly on value and ease of use though, in the best Sony tradition, style and quality of construction also play a major part. This particular model looks to be a europe-only release although it is entirely possible it will be launched in other markets under a different model designation. The DSC-S730 will be available from January 2008 for the altogether reasonable sum of €139/£99.Read More
Just posted! Olympus SP-560 UZ review
Friday, 21 December 2007 16:00 GMT
Just Posted! Our review of the Olympus SP-560UZ, update to the SP-550UZ (the world's first 18x zoom digital compact camera). The SP-560 UZ ups the pixel count and adds a few new features, but is a fairly minor upgrade to what was a promising, but ultimately rather disappointing 'ultra zoom'. As we polish off the last of the mince pies and prepare to pack up for the festive season, was the SP-560UZ enough of an improvement to bring out our festive cheer or not? Find out after the link.Read More

Just Posted! Our review of the Canon Powershot SX100 IS, the first model in Canon's brand new line of 'budget' superzoom digital cameras.

Just posted! Panasonic DMC-L10 review
Friday, 14 December 2007 13:25 GMT
Just Posted! Our review of the Lumix DMC-L10, Panasonic's second Four Thirds digital SLR. The L10 joins the increasingly crowded 10 megapixel mid-range DSLR pack with a few unique features, including a fully articulated swing/tilt screen, full-time live view AF (contrast detect) and a high quality 28-100mm equiv. optically stabilized Leica kit lens. Designed as the ultimate 'step up' camera for compact users looking to move to the next level the L10 brings Panasonic's friendly user interface and familiar features (such as face detection and scene modes) to the SLR space. So is it worth the $1299? Check out our in-depth review after the link.Read More
Just posted! Fujifilm F50fd review
Wednesday, 5 December 2007 17:20 GMT
Just Posted! Our review of the Fujifilm FinePix F50fd, successor to the F31fd and flagship of Fujifilm's Compact range. The F50fd has some massive shoes to fill. Its predecessor, the F31fd, was widely regarded as the best performing compact camera at high ISO sensitivities. The F50fd is a complete redesign, sports some new features such as image stabilization and Face Detection 2.0, and has doubled the pixel count to an impressive 12MP. Will it be able to match or even surpass its predecessor’s image quality? See how it performed in the review after the link.Read More
