Buy-n-Shoot.com has posted a review of the Olympus Mju 1020.
Overall, operating the Mju 1020 is delightfully straightforward (particularly if you have smaller hands) meaning that taking, reviewing, sorting, editing and deleting photos is a breeze, as too is selecting and using the various modes available.
Below are some of the best photography links from other sites that I came across this week. Enjoy!

Previously, we had heard that July 1 was the date, but it appears that Digital Depot has published something that they probably should not have if they really do have inside info.
The following video sheds some light on the detail that goes into making those lenses that we all love to put on the end of our DSLRs.
This photo surfaced on the Chinese blog Evolife. Purportedly, the text also confirms the popup flash on the Nikon D700, which you can see in the image. And, as you can see from the photo, it appears that a new version of the Nikon 24-120mm lens will accompany the new D700.

Imaging Resource has published a review of the 12 megapixel Fujifilm Finepix F100fd.
Despite its slightly sluggish cycle times, the Fujifilm FinePix F100fd is a good overall performer. Color and exposure were both good, and helpful automatic tools like Face Detection, Dynamic Range, and the preset Scene modes proved useful and responsive to a variety of situations.

PhotographyBLOG has posted a review of the Canon Powershot A590 IS.
