PopPhoto have reviewed the new Canon EOS-1D Mark III DSLR camera.
“Our test images showed normal contrast with excellent color in both RAW and JPEG at the neutral setting, which zeroes out Sharpness, Contrast, Saturation, and Color Tone, with very good shadow and highlight details even at higher ISOs. At ISO 100, the Mark III was able to hold detail over an 11 EV dynamic range, and more than nine EVs at ISO 1600—quite impressive. Test images showed excellent color fidelity with very little color shift or casting in auto white balance.”

CNET have taken a look at the distinctive Samsung NV7 digital camera.
“What about ISO sensitivity settings? Well, on one hand, the NV7 maxes out at ISO 1000, which is pretty low from a spec comparison standpoint. However, the NV7’s photos have so much noise—unless scaled down, anything above ISO 200 looks more Impressionist than Realist—the availability of any higher settings becomes a moot issue. In addition, the NV7 has some of the poorest white balance I’ve seen in a while”

DigiCamReview have just reviewed the new Panasonic DMC-FZ8 ultra-zoom compact digital camera.
“The camera has very good image quality - the camera has good detail and very good colour (accurate, and well saturated) and there was no noticable corner softness in the images. Images have good saturation and contrast, with fairly low noise at the lower ISO settings. The higher ISO settings of ISO400 and above are probably best avoided as detail is lacking from images. Indoors photos were good with little or no red-eye, although noise was noticeable in some shots. Purple fringing was noticed in very few shots, and wasn’t a problem in the majority of shots”

Megapixel.net have reviewed the GE G1 digital camera, which features 3x optical zoom, 2.5-inch LCD screen and 7 megapixels.
“While the G1 will satisfy the needs of many point and shoot users, it does face some stiff competition from companies whose name is more readily associated with photography than GE. The G1 is a debut camera, and its descendants may well develop into more impressive and feature-rich cameras over time. But at this time, however, the list prices currently indicated by some retailers may make it a tough sell amongst well-informed camera buyers.”

DigitalCameraInfo have reviewed the Nikon Coolpix P5000 camera, which offers 10 megapixels, 3.5x zoom lens (36-126mm), Vibration Reduction to combat camera shake, ISO 3200 capability and a 2.5 inch LCD screen.
“DSLR owners don’t care for picture effects and face recognition as much as they do for a good burst mode and a solid auto focus system – the P5000 has neither of these. The burst mode stutters and the auto focus adds lag time to an already slow camera. The P5000’s constant humming noise coupled with slow processing when viewing pictures makes it seem that the camera is working really hard.”

Imaging Resource have reviewed the Canon PowerShot SD750 digital camera (also known as the IXUS 75) which has a metallic finish, 3x zoom lens and 3 inch LCD screen.
“The Canon SD750 was fun to shoot with and pretty to look at, but I was less thrilled with the images as I studied them on my monitor. They appeared generally soft, and somewhat off color using Auto white balance with a bit too much contrast and saturation. Of course, some folks like contrasty, saturated images. As it goes, the Canon SD750 isn’t their best, sharpest model, but it’s pretty good for basic snapshots.”

CNET have just reviewed the 15x zoom Sony Cyber Shot DSC-H9 digital camera.
“Under the right circumstances, the photos look very good. Those include shooting at sensitivity settings of ISO 200 or lower, in bright sunlight. Thanks to the fast continuous shooting, solid stabilization and reliable center-point focus, the H9 delivered the best results I’ve had so far shooting dogs in the park. The EVF updates quickly enough to make it possible. The automatic white balance does a solid job, if a bit cool, and colors look bright and saturated.”

DCResource have reviewed the Fujifilm S700 digital camera, which features 7 megapixels, a 10x optical zoom, 2.5 inch LCD plus electronic viewfinder, ISO 1600 and Picture Stabilization mode.
“The FinePix S700 is the entry-level ultra zoom camera in Fuji’s lineup, and it has a lot to offer for its $230 street price. It has a solid design, good photo quality, full manual controls, and a nice movie mode. It’s not without its flaws though: the camera lacks image stabilization, has problems with purple fringing, corner softness, and redeye, and has a lens that’s slow at the wide-angle end. Still, if you’re looking for a budget ultra zoom camera, the FinePix S700 is well worth a look.”
