Digital Camera News, Reviews and Tips
Cnet has published a review of the Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS3.
As long as you don’t want much in the way of manual features, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS3 is a very nice camera that can handle a variety of shooting situations.

Photozone.de has posted a review of the Panasonic Lumix G1.
Basically, the Panasonic DMC-G1 is suitable for all kinds of photography but it is limited by the lens options of the system. However, due to the small and lightweight body it is especially attractive for light-weight travel photography so the compromises may still be worth it.

DP Interface has posted a review of the Canon PowerShot SX10 IS.
Don’t underestimate the PowerShot SX10 – it’s a great and very capable camera. If you like the SX1 a lot but don’t need its full HD 1080p movie mode and 4 FPS burst mode, then you can get the very similar Canon PowerShot SX10 for a lot less money.

Rumors of the successor to the Canon 1D Mark III persist. The latest word, picked up by Canon Rumors, consists of a number of possible new spec lists, ranging between a 16 and 18 megapixel sensor. While there’s no inherent credibility attached to these spec lists, CR says that they have it on good word that the 1D Mark IV will arrive February 2010. [Read more…]
Here’s new shot of the Pentax mystery-camera – perhaps, the rumored Pentax K30D. It clearly has a pop-up flash and appears to be of the same ilk of the K20D or better.

Photo Today has posted a review of the Sony Cyber-shot G3.
The Sony DSC-G3 is a very sharp camera in both its styling and the images it produces. Anyone who selects this camera will be pleased with the numerous features and options it has on board like scrapbooking and music for slide shows.
Here’s a short video from Nikon Austrailia that shows off the new Nikon D5000. More news and reviews on Photography Bay’s Nikon D5000 Reviews and Resources.
Digital Rev has a new, suggestive article entitled The Nikon D400 & D750 Revealed or Just Viral Marketing? While the title would lead you to believe that there’s been some kind of leak or specific promotion on the D400 and/or D750 (neither of which have been confirmed by Nikon), the post appears to simply be Digital Rev’s take on recent rumors, along with some fancy mockups and spec/wish list.
I’ve had several emails to this article, suggesting that it’s a leak of some sort. Upon second glance, it seems to just be a racy title with no evidence of either of these cameras being revealed by Nikon, or evidence of viral marketing on behalf of Nikon. In essence, it appears to simply be speculation.
We’re still waiting for something solid on the Nikon D400, Nikon D750 or Nikon D800. Stay tuned.
This is a reminder for those of you who didn’t sign up when I mentioned it earlier.
