Digital Camera News, Reviews and Tips
Trusted Reviews has posted a review of the 10 megapixel Fujifilm FinePix Z20fd.
The Fujifilm FinePix Z20fd is designed to appeal to a particular demographic, and will probably find itself living in a small fashionable handbag next to a pink Motorola Razr mobile phone. For under £90 it delivers eye-catching style, durable build quality and simplicity of operation, along with reasonable performance and some fun features.
Imaging Resource has published a review of the 12 megapixel Fujifilm Finepix F100fd.
Despite its slightly sluggish cycle times, the Fujifilm FinePix F100fd is a good overall performer. Color and exposure were both good, and helpful automatic tools like Face Detection, Dynamic Range, and the preset Scene modes proved useful and responsive to a variety of situations.
Photoxels has posted a review of the Nikon D60.
In the D60, Nikon has succeeded in bringing together all the elements a first-time DSLR user needs for capturing excellent images with point-and-shoot ease-of-use in a compact, light and comfortable body.

PhotographyBLOG has posted a review of the Canon Powershot A590 IS.
Also, for a model aimed at beginners, features are surprisingly comprehensive, its response times – save for that rather sluggish zoom – pretty good, and it’s nice to see true optical image stabilisation included as standard on a camera that costs what it does.

DP Review has posted a review of the Olympus E-420.
Despite its small dimensions the camera is surprisingly well specified; even more so when considering its price point. You won’t find live view and the E-420’s level of customization on other manufacturers’ entry level offerings (at least not if they’re in the same price bracket). In fact, the E-420’s spec sheet looks more like something we’d expect from a mid-range SLR.

Steve’s Digicams has posted a review of the Olympus SP-570 UZ.
Bottom Line – the Olympus SP-570 UZ is a very capable 10.1-megapixel Ultra-zoom camera that offers a variety of very nice features, including an awesome 20x Wide optical zoom lens. The image quality was excellent both indoors and out.
Trusted Reviews has posted a review of the Pentax Optio V20.
The Optio V20 is an attractively designed and well made ultra-compact camera, and the 5x zoom, large wide-view monitor screen and simple control interface make it versatile and pleasant to use, although it lacks a number of useful features, including effective image stabilisation.
Let’s Go Digital has posted a hands-on, cursory review of the new Canon EOS 1000D (a.k.a. Digital Rebel XS).
The main differences with the 400D are Live View, DIGIC III, a 7-point AF instead of a 9-point AF, auto ISO setting, unlimited JPEG buffer but a lesser amount of RAW pictures, LP-E5 battery instead of the NB-2LH and on top of that a decreased weight of 502 grams which makes the Canon EOS 1000D Canon’s lightest digital SLR camera ever.

Imaging Resource has posted a review of the Sony Cybershot DSC-H50.
While not the longest of the long zooms, the Sony H50 does provide above average autofocus performance, critical in this application, with a competent Carl Zeiss lens.
Photodoto has posted a review of the Nikon Coolpix S550.
Overall I would certainly recommend this camera to a friend, it’s a good all round camera with plenty of features for those who want to experiment or the option to just point and shoot for those who like to keep it simple.
