DC Resource has posted a review of the Canon EOS Rebel XSi. The new Digital Rebel XSi kit comes with an stabilized 18-55mm lens. Canon’s entry-level DSLR now features a 3? rear LCD panel that’s capable of Live View framing and focusing.
Camera performance is top-notch. The Rebel XSi is ready to go as soon as you hit the power switch, though you may want to wait the two seconds for its dust reduction cycle to finish.

Camera Labs has posted a review of the Olympus E-520.
Indeed while the competition now offers some key features you should carefully weigh-up, we can still confidently award the E-520 the Highly Recommended rating of its predecessor. If you’re shopping for a new DSLR at this price-point, it should be on your shortlist.

In keeping with the 18-month life cycle of its consumer DSLRs, Canon announced the 12.2 megapixel EOS Rebel XSi on January 24, 2008 just prior to PMA. Canon also kept the tradition of upgrading the Rebel series by a couple of megapixels, which it has done with every generation since the original EOS Digital Rebel debuted in 2003 at 6.3MP. For your reference, the Rebel XT weighed in at 8MP and the Rebel XTi touted 10.1MP.
The Canon Rebel XSi packs in a number of upgrades from the previous DSLRs in this line. In fact, the XSi packs in so many advanced features that it’s almost hard to call it an entry-level camera anymore. [Read more…]
Trusted Reviews has published a review of the Olympus E-420.
There’s very little to criticise in the overall specification and performance of the E-420. I like it’s size – it’s ideal for travelling and is reminiscent of my old OM4 in some aspects of its handling.

Digital Camera Info has posted a review of the Sony A200.
The camera is responsive, feels good in your hand and lets you take very nice pictures. What’s more, it comes with a lens with a wider zoom range than more expensive models, plus in-camera image stabilization that means you can benefit from anti-shake technology without investing in pricey stabilized lenses.
