Digital Camera News, Reviews and Tips
Digital Camera Info has posted a first impressions review of the new Pentax K2000.
The focusing on the lens felt quick, the body was well crafted, and there are many helpful features designed with new users in mind. The K2000 strikes us as a strong introductory camera for someone considering the jump from point-and-shoot to SLR.

Digital Camera Info has posted their first impressions of the new Canon 50D.

PopPhoto has reviewed the Nikon D90.
As a still camera, the D90 continues Nikon’s strong record in the midrange. While its videomaking is more than a little clunky, it’s the first (and, for now, the least expensive) DSLR with this capability. It’s a very worthy follow-up to the D80, and stacks up well against similarly priced cameras.

Digital Camera Info has posted a review of the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX3.
The LX3 is a very expensive point-and-shoot camera. It has a list price of $500, and while we absolutely love the body and feel of the camera, it has too many downsides for the price. Its test scores were average or below average in most cases, and even its high scores in Color and Manual Noises weren’t far from its much cheaper cousin, the Lumix TZ3.
PhotoReview has posted a review of the Nikon D90.
In both available-light shots and flash shots in low light levels, the test camera turned in an outstanding performance, recording images with little visible noise and no sign of blotchiness. Imatest confirmed our subjective assessments and showed only a slight decline in resolution as ISO sensitivity was increased.

PhotoReview has posted a review of the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX3.
Successor to the popular DMC-LX2 model, the Panasonic DMC-LX3 represents a significant upgrade to its predecessor.
Digital Camera Info has posted a review of the Pentax Optio W60.
The Pentax takes the worry out of these situations, and for many users that’s going to be worth a few extra dollars compared to a less rugged camera with otherwise similar features. Image quality is adequate if not outstanding, but good enough for the point-and-shoot task at hand.
Imaging Resource has posted a review of the Panasonic Lumix FX500. The FX500 is a 10.1 megapixel point & shoot camera with a 5x wide angle lens. It also features Panasonic’s O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilization).
A fun camera with a few overkill features, the Panasonic FX500 captures very good color and detail marred only by a tendency to over-optimize flat color, and a tendency for noise even at the lowest ISO setting.
PhotographyBLOG has posted a review of the Fujifilm Finepix F100fd.
The Fujifilm FinePix F100fd is the latest addition to the popular F-series range of compact digital cameras, replacing the previous F50fd. With a 12 megapixel, 8th Generation Super CCD sensor, 5x wide angle optical zoom lens (28-140mm), and a 2.7 inch LCD screen, the F100fd offers some significant improvements, and it also features new expanded dynamic range capture functionality, Face Detection 3.0 and ISO settings of up to ISO 12800. Mark Goldstein discovers if the Fujifilm F100fd offers enough to stand out from the crowd.
DC Resource has posted its review of the new Nikon D90.
Photo quality was excellent. The D90 took well-exposed photos with pleasing, accurate colors. Images have the smooth look that is a D-SLR trademark, though plenty of detail is still captured. The D90 really impressed me at high ISOs.
