Digital Camera News, Reviews and Tips
Imaging Resource has published a review of the Canon 5D Mark II.
Unless you need high speed capture, and a 30fps HD movie is out of the question, the Canon 5D Mark II appears to offer the best of both of its competitors, with high resolution capture and what we expect to be very good high ISO performance.

Roland Lim has published a review of the Canon 5D Mark II.
The image quality is simply amazing with very high resolution and very good high ISO performance. As far as image quality is concerned, I think most users would be more than pleased with the 5D Mark II. However, in areas such autofocus, Canon still lacks behind the competition.

For our bilingual readers out there (yes, I know you’re out there), Quesabesde has published a hands-on review (and comparison to the E-3) of the Olympus E-30.
¿Puede suponer la E-30 el entierro de la E-3? Para el 90% de los usuarios, sin duda. Y es que sólo quienes necesiten trabajar con la cámara en condiciones extremas -polvo y agua mediando- no caerán en la tentación de ahorrarse unos euros y decantarse por la nueva E-30.

Photo Review has posted a review of the Canon 5D Mark II.
Image noise was barely visible in test shots taken at ISO settings up to 3200, regardless of whether they were short or long exposures. Beyond that point, the visibility of noise increased steadily, although colour accuracy and sharpness were retained right up to ISO 25,600.

Digital Rev has published a hands-on review with sample images of the Nikon D3x.
For Nikon users, they have finally got a pro DSLR body that could offer them high resolution beyond the measly 12.1 megapixels ceiling that had to live with before without having to consider going medium format.

PhotographyBLOG has posted a review of the Sony A300.
The Sony A300 is certainly a fun camera to use, owing to its zippy Live View performance, tilting screen and advanced feature set. While plastic, it is well made, looking and feeling like it was built to last.
