Digital Camera News, Reviews and Tips
Trusted Reviews has posted a review of the 14.2 megapixel Sony A350.
Image quality and performance are up to standard, as is build quality and design. This is a very appealing camera for the advanced amateur, and an outstanding bargain at the current price.

A handful of purported Nikon D10 images have began to surface on the web. Don’t get too excited though. Every time a new product is rumored, several Photoshopped images follow suit. If you followed any of the news and rumors leading up Apple’s recent introduction of the iPhone 3G, you get my drift here.
These two images, which were posted in the DP Review forums, don’t exactly exude credibility (especially the second image below); however, these are most certainly the first of many until a mid-grade full frame DSLR is announced by Nikon. For more rumors and news, be sure to check out Photography Bay’s Nikon D10 page.
Cameras.co.uk has posted a review of the Sony DSC-T300.
Picture quality does not quite match up to the very best, but if your main consideration is design, as long as the camera can still take a decent snap, then the DSC T300 is well worth considering.
The Online Photographer has posted Part 4 (on low light AF) of its report on the Pentax K20D.
It wasn’t “so fast I didn’t notice.” But I’d describe it as “fast.” More important, it was positive. By that I mean that when I pressed the button halfway, the mechanism almost always made one direct move to focus, and stayed there.

Neocamera has posted a review of the Olympus E-3.
It is certainly as good as several Excellent DSLRs, only we have to say that some DSLRs are less excellent than others and this one is one of them. While the E-3 is a great upgrade for someone with high-quality Olympus lenses, the E-3 lags behind other recent DSLRs in terms of ergonomics and image quality at high-ISO.

Cnet has posted a review of the Nikon Coolpix P80. The new P80 boasts a 10.1 megapixel image sensor, Nikon’s EXPEED processing and vibration reduction on a whopping 18x optical zoom lens. The P80’s 18x Zoom-NIKKOR lens covers focal lengths from 27-486mm (35mm format equivalent).
One of the better 18x megazooms, nevertheless you should consider the Nikon Coolpix P80’s sluggish performance before you commit to it.
Cameras.co.uk has posted a review of the Panasonic LZ10.
When it comes to picture quality my feeling is that the Panasonic DMC LZ10 does not quite hit the mark. It is not that bad, but there are one or two problems that make other cameras a better choice.
PhotographyBLOG has posted a review of the Olympus SP-570 UZ.
The main selling point of the camera is the huge zoom, and this is one area where the SP-570UZ doesn’t disappoint. So long as you steer clear of f/8, the lens delivers excellent sharpness across its entire range.
