Digital Camera News, Reviews and Tips
Cameras.co.uk has published a review of the Canon Powershot A1000 IS.
If you are not worried whether or not your camera will slip into a pocket then the Canon Powershot A1000 IS provides good value for money. It takes a decent shot in most situations and offers a few extra features over and above more basic digital cameras.

A new rumor is surfacing regarding a follow up to the Pentax K20D. A Chinese forum, DCHome.net, reveals some specs for what could be the next Pentax DSLR. The initial rumored specs for the Pentax K30D are as follows:
Also in the rumor mill is a Pentax K300D with a new CMOS sensor developed in conjunction with Samsung.
Earlier this week, Luminous Landscape pitted the Canon G10 against the Nikon P6000. Now, PhotographyBLOG has done the same thing – with the same results.
The Nikon Coolpix P6000 is a good camera, but the Canon PowerShot G10 is better – it’s as simple as that.

Cameras.co.uk has published a review of the Olympus FE-20.
Despite the small optics picture quality is surprisingly good in most snapshot situations, especially when the subject is not too far away from the camera.
There are a handful of forum posters that actually have access to inside information. These elect few don’t tout their credentials. No, they quietly state facts, which are proven by the later release of new camera models.
Yesterday, one of those forum posters spoke to the coming Nikon full frame pro body:
A high pixel count pro body in 135 format, about 45 days to go for more details. :-)
That’s it. That’s all he needed to say. Jeff-c is generally on the money with leaks, predictions or whatever you want to call it.
Additionally, he’s not the only one calling for a big December announcement from Nikon – see here and here.
Better pinch those pennies, because Santa Claus is coming to town and he’s bringing a Nikon D3x or D4 along with him.
DP Review has published a full review of the Canon 50D.
Below ISO 1600 image output is clean with well balanced contrast and colors and as you would expect from a DSLR with a 15 megapixel sensor the 50D delivers a fair amount of detail.

PhotographyBLOG has published a review of the Nikon P6000.
The Nikon Coolpix P6000 is a good camera in its own right, but doesn’t quite cut the mustard when compared to its main rivals, the Canon PowerShot G10 and Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX3.
Ken Rockwell has posted a review of the Canon G10.
The G10 is the best compact digital camera I’ve ever used. The gotcha words are “digital” and “compact.” Maddeningly, like all other compact (non-interchangable lens) cameras, the G10 still takes too darn long to adjust or change anything.

Even though Sony has continuously failed to deliver the review copy of the A900 that was promised to Photography Bay (and yes, I’m slightly bitter), I will remain unbiased* and pass along that PopPhoto had no trouble getting theirs and has published a review of the Sony A900.
For an experienced photographer not married to another brand’s system, the A900 deserves a look. If you have even a modest stockpile of Konica Minolta lenses, then it demands your attention.
