Digital Camera News, Reviews and Tips
Photoxels has posted a review of the Nikon D300.
You get superb handling, exceptional performance, a large, bright and clear optical viewfinder, a body sealed against dust and mositure, and excellent image quality with low noise and preserved detail up to ISO 800. Noise that is present at higher ISOs is Luminance noise and gives pictures a film-like grain appearance.

PopPhoto has posted a review of the new 14.2 megapixel Sony A350.
Based on our DxO Analyzer 3.1 Blur tests of A350 images shot using a 100-300mm zoom set to 200mm, this sensor-shift system delivered between 2.5 and 3 stops of improvement, similar to the A100 and slightly less than the A700.

Cnet has posted a review of the Pentax K200D.
Pentax’s K200D entry-level SLR gives a lot of bang for the buck and has better performance than last year’s model. Despite low noise and pleasingly detailed images, technically inaccurate colors keep it from capturing the gold medal for image quality.

PhotographyBLOG has published a review of the new 14.6 megapixel Pentax K20D.
Pentax have made some notable improvements with the K20D in terms of it’s responsiveness and ease-of-use, in particular offering much quicker file write times that really speed up using the camera. If you have a collection of Pentax lenses, you’ll love the new AF Adjustment custom function, which allows you to precisely calibrate each one to the K20D, and the Dust Alert feature shows you exactly where the dust is on the sensor. Studio photographers can now seriously consider the K20D because of the welcome addition of an X-sync socket, and the camera still offers dust and water-resistance and effective anti-shake and dust-removal systems.

Olympus UK apparently slipped up and posted the model number of the forthcoming successor to the Olympus E-510 on an info page regarding image quality. The offending text has been removed; however, this is the passage that was purportedly published by Olympus:
So that you don’t need to carry a heavy tripod or invest extra money into every single stabilised lens, Olympus integrated a built-in image stabiliser into the camera body of the E-3, E-510 and E-520. It stabilises up to 5 EV steps (up to 4 EV steps with the E-510 and E-520), making it the most effective solution on the market.
You can see the can see the redacted version of the page here. Note that the “and E-520” is gone, which makes the listing of “E-3, E-510” read awkward since there is a comma in a list of only two items. The cached version of the page shows this current version as well. (via dslruser.co.uk)
Since the E-420 was just recently released, the follow-on of the E-520 certainly comes as no surprise. We’ll keep our ears to the ground and pass along the latest news and rumors on the Olympus E-520 when it arrives.
Trusted Reviews has posted a review of the 10 megapixel, Pentax K200D.
The handling of the K200D is very simple yet it maintains a reassuring, more professional build quality. Images are sure to please even the most critical photographer, with few serious problems bar slight underexposure on rare occaisions.

Let’s Go Digital has posted a review of the 14.2 megapixel, live view Sony A350 DSLR.
My first impression of the Sony A350 is an excellent one. It is a pleasant camera, quite well-organized and beautifully designed. On top of that it is a solid camera and with the abundance of accessories in the back of my mind, it is also a camera that could be the start of a long relationship with Sony.
