Digital Camera News, Reviews and Tips
Digital Camera Info has posted a review of the 10.1 megapixel Nikon D60.
Imaging performance shines when it comes to noise, and the responsiveness while shooting is exceptional for a camera in this class. However, the D60 also lagged in several equally important areas, including white balance and dynamic range.

DP Review has posted a full review of the Sony A350.
It’s certainly a competitively-priced, well-specified camera and one that feels better-constructed than many of its rivals. It’s also one that smoothes down the learning curve and will totally satisfy users who aren’t familiar with what the best modern DSLRs are capable of.

Trusted Reviews has posted a review of the Canon A590 IS.
Considering its low price, the PowerShot A590 IS offers an amazingly complete list of features, with high-performance optical image stabilisation, a useful range of manual controls and exceptionally good performance, especially in low light conditions.

Below are some of the best photography links from other sites that I came across this week. Enjoy!

Nasty footage of Canon cameras destroyed due to shipping error – Crunchgear – See what happens when warehousing and shipping errors cause half a million dollars worth of damage to Canon gear. Be careful. This is not for the faint of heart.

Wanna Go Polaroid? Pick the Right One! – Epic Edits – Brian Auer talks instant film cameras and how to choose based on the availability of affordable film.
Sunset on Mars – Boing Boing – An image of a sunset on Mars. Seriously. It was taken by the Mars Rover. I can’t really tell you why, but I find this exceptionally cool.
Wired.com Photo Contest: Summer – Wired – A new themed contest from Wired. “The 10 highest-ranked photos will appear in a gallery on the Wired.com home page.”

This should make every photographer that has had gear stolen at some point feel a little warm and fuzzy on the inside.
DC Resource has published a review of the new 10.1 megapixel Nikon D60.
I think more experienced photographers will frown on its overprocessed photos, mediocre set of manual controls, and autofocus lens support. I think there are better entry-level D-SLRs out there, but the D60 is still worth looking at.

Trusted Reviews has posted a review of the 60fps Casio EX-F1.
It has several unique abilities which some users will find extremely useful, however it also has some problems. Its still image quality, while good, is no match for the best of the current high spec super-zooms, and its alarmingly high price will also discourage potential buyers.

Steve’s Digicams has posted a review of the Canon PowerShot SD890 IS. The new SD890 IS features a 10 megapixel sensor, a 2.5? LCD panel and a 5x optical zoom (a 35mm equivalent of 37-185mm). The SD890 IS also features a macro mode that allows close focusing at a distance of less than one inch.
The camera is still incredibly easy to operate, and the quality is what you would expect from a high-end consumer model. The 5x optical zoom and the 10-megapixel imaging sensor are the largest you will find so far on an ELPH.
The Online Photographer has published the fourth installment of its review of the Olympus E-3. This part deals the the Live View feature of the Olympus flagship DSLR.
The system works perfectly okay for static subjects, and for some things—notably macro photography of non-moving subjects, especially close to the ground—it can work a lot better than the regular optical viewfinder.

Digital Camera Info has posted a review of the new 12.2 megapixel Canon EOS Digital Rebel XSi. The new Digital Rebel XSi kit comes with an stabilized 18-55mm lens. Canon’s entry-level DSLR now features a 3? rear LCD panel that’s capable of Live View framing and focusing.
The XSi is more of an evolution than a revolution; the new features it adds over previous Digital Rebels are useful (and generally well executed), but none of them add that much to the experience of using the camera.
