Digital Camera News, Reviews and Tips
Trusted Reviews has posted a review of the Pentax Optio S12.
Like its predecessors the Optio S12 is a very well made and easy to use camera, with a nice simple design that continues to look good even five years after its initial launch. Although it lacks image stabilisation, it makes up for it with numerous other fun and useful features.
Photoclub Alpha has posted a “creative” review of the 14.2 megapixel Sony A350.
Sony uses that slogan – ‘like.no.other’. Dead right. You can not call the Alpha 350 ‘recommended’ or ‘best buy’ or anything else like that. It is unique at the price, it offers performance features entirely out of line with the expected aims of a new DSLR at £399, and it can do half a dozen things which no competitor can match.

PC Mag has posted a review of the 20x zoom Olympus SP-570 UZ.
Image quality, while not stellar, will likely please most shooters and is easily bolstered by flexibility and a wealth of innovative features. In fact, the SP-570UZ is one of the best all-purpose cameras we’ve seen.
New York, NY (June 12, 2008)—Lili Estefan, the beloved co-host of “El Gordo y La Flaca” (“The Fat Man and The Thin Woman”), is lending her slim frame to promote the launch of Casio’s EXILIM EX-S10 digital camera into the U.S. Hispanic market. The daily gossip program, “El Gordo y la Flaca” stars Ms. Estefan and Raúl de Molina and is Univision’s top-rated celebrity gossip show, marking its tenth anniversary this year. The Hispanic ad agency REVOLUCION saw a natural link between the two: the EX-S10 is the world’s smallest and thinnest 10.1 megapixel camera* and Lili Estefan is the Hispanic world’s favorite “Flaca”.
“I am so excited to be part of Casio’s first effort to reach out to the Latin community,” Estefan says. “I love to share my vacation photos on ‘El Gordo y La Flaca’, and this gives me an even better way to do it!” [Read more…]
Rumors are really starting to heat up on a variety of cameras. A DP Review forum member alleges that he has “reliable” info on an announcement from Nikon regarding the Nikon D3x on July 1, 2008.

DP Expert has posted a review of the Sony Cybershot DSC-W150.
We are impressed. The black model that we had for testing is handsome. It has a high quality feel and appearance. The inclusion of an optical viewfinder is a plus, even if it is small and restricted in the coverage of image area.
Imaging Resource has posted a review of the 10.1 megapixel Nikon D60.
Like the D40x before it, the Nikon D60 is a real gem. Consumers should want one, intermediate photographers should want one, and pros would do well to carry one too. The Nikon D60 is one of the finest “family” cameras on the market, easily upholding the standards of its predecessors, which is a tall order.
I couldn’t agree more with Imaging Resource’s assessment (see PB’s Nikon D60 Review). For even more news and reviews on the D60, check out Photography Bay’s Nikon D60 Reviews and Resources page.
Cameras.co.uk has posted a review of the Sony W110.
The Sony DSC W110 does more or less exactly what it sets out to do. This is a no fuss digital camera that is able to cope with most photo opportunities.
PhotoToday has posted a review of the Panasonic Lumix LZ10.
The LZ10 certainly differs from other models in the Panasonic catalog as well as what other manufacturers are offering this year. It’s particularly well suited for those photographers who want a small camera that will let them take control of exposure and allow them to be more creative.
PhotographyBLOG 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).
The 1cm macro mode can’t make up for this camera’s other deficiencies, and whilst image quality isn’t that bad, it isn’t great either, and certainly not as good as our current super-zoom of choice, the Fujifilm Finepix S8000fd.
