DesignTechnica have published their review of the Canon PowerShot S2 IS, a 5 megapixel digital camera with a 12x optical zoom equivalent to 36–432mm on a 35mm camera.
“Another day, another mega zoom digicam with a 12x optical zoom and built-in optical image stabilization. This one is far from plain vanilla, however, since the PowerShot S2 IS is the replacement for the popular, year-old S1 IS. Since this is the consumer electronics business, for the same initial asking price ($499) you get higher resolution (5 megapixels instead of 3MP), a more powerful zoom (12x versus 10x), a larger LCD screen, and more importantly, the improved DIGIC II processor that speeds up all the operations (so the camera is very responsive with a minimum amount of shutter lag). And it takes very accurate images, something Canon is well known for. “

PCMagazine have published their review of the new Sony DSC-H1 digital camera. The DSC-H1 has a 12x optical zoom lens (equivalent to 36-432 millimeters), 5 megapixel CCD and 2.5 inch LCD screen.
“Boxy but well-balanced and sporting a large 2.5-inch nonarticulating LCD screen, the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H1 delivers a wide array of features, shooting modes, and performance for just under $500. The camera sports a long 12X optical zoom lens, which is quickly becoming the new standard for superzoom cameras. The one glaring problem was the camera’s shutter lag—a big hindrance if you’re trying to capture that fleeting moment.”

CNET have just posted their review of the new 5 megapixel Konica Minolta Z5 digital camera.
“With a 12X zoom, image stabilization, macro focus down to 0.4 inch, and a medium-res 10-frame-per-second ultra-high-speed burst mode, the 5-megapixel Z5 stacks up well against the competition, specwise. However, mediocre image quality and a large, coarse, and rather dim electronic viewfinder limit this diminutive digital’s appeal as an SLR substitute.”

DigiCamReview have published a joint review of the Fujifilm FinePix A350 Zoom and A350 Zoom digital cameras.
“This is a joint review of the new Fujifilm Finepix A345 and A350. The Fujifilm Finepix A345 and A350 both feature a 3x optical zoom lens, the only difference is that that A345 is a 4 megapixel digital camera, whereas the A350 is a 5 megapixel camera. The A345 is available from around £100 (£123 at amazon with free postage), and the A350 is available from around £125 (£139 at amazon with free postage) - they replace the A330, and the A340, Fuji’s previous budget / value models. The 3x optical zoom lens is equivalent to 35-105mm on a 35mm camera. They both feature a 1.7” TFT screen. The camera is enclosed in a silver plastic body. It records unlimited 320 x 240 / 15fps videos with sound.”

DIWA member LetsGoDigital have reviewed the Sony DSC-S90 digicam, which has a 3x optical zoom lens, 32 MB of internal memory and 550 shots battery life.
“The Sony Cybershot S90 is a compactly designed digital camera with a huge size LCD monitor on the back panel of the camera. The 2.5 inch sized monitor is a perfect replacement for the ‘old fashioned’ optical viewfinder. The Sony S90 aims at the crowd and therefore carries an affordable and attractive price tag. But that doesn’t mean we are dealing with a stripped down digital camera, on the contrary. The Sony Cybershot DSC-S90 is equipped with various setting possibilities, such as seven pre-set scene shooting modes, and together with the 4 Megapixels of resolution, a Carl Zeiss lens, 3x optical zoom and a movie function (VGA with 30 fps) the camera contains sufficient features to be able to compete with its competitors.”

Imaging Resource have taken a look at the new Sony DSC-S60 digital camera.
“The Sony S60 is capable offering, and very similar (except for maximum resolution and a couple of exposure options) to the recently released W7 model; and even more similar to the S90. It is reasonably constructed, with a slightly reduced feel of quality from the S90, but it doesn’t affect the functionality at all. It does though, appear to have somewhat higher image noise at ISO 400, at least the sample I tested did. I also felt that its handling of household incandescent light sources wasn’t quite as good as that of the S90. (The other primary feature difference relative to the S90 is that the more expensive model comes with a pair of Sony NiMH rechargeable batteries and charger, where the S60 is packed with a set of alkaline cells.)”

Imaging Resource have posted their review of the 5 megapixel Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T33.
“The Sony DSC-T33 is one of Sony’s latest subcompact Cyber-shot models, quite similar to the original T1, and the new ultra-thin T7. A little lighter and slightly bigger, than the T7, the Sony T33 is still a full-featured digital camera, with a 5 megapixel CCD, a 3x optical zoom lens, a huge 2.5-inch LCD screen, and a full complement of options such as variable ISO settings, color saturation, contrast, and sharpness adjustments. Automatic exposure control offers point-and-shoot ease, with a handful of scene modes for more difficult shooting situations. Packaged with a camera dock for quick USB connection to a computer, the Sony T33 offers exceptional portability and a great selection of features.”

Pocket-Lint have published their review of the Sony DSC-W7, a 7 megapixel digital camera with a 2.5 inch LCD screen, battery life of 380 shots between power charges and 32 megabytes of internal memory.
“Images however, unlike our experience with the T7 (see review) were sharp and impressive. Colours were bright and crisp and images clear and virtually noise-free. The camera’s capturing lag is minimal and this combined with the camera’s fast start-up time meant that you still had plenty of time to capture an image before it was too late.”

“The HP Photosmart R717 is a serious attempt by a long-time computer manufacturer to make all aspects of digital photography enjoyable. This 6 MP compact camera goes beyond traditional digital photography and basic image editing and integrates itself with a host of online web services, in-camera help functionality, and external printers to bring the full spectrum of digital photography to life. Thoughtful design went into this camera and it shows. Novices will be thrilled with the built-in help functionality, automatic red eye removal, and a host of other features.”

DIWA member Steves Digicams have published their review of the Kodak Easyshare V550, a 5 megapixel camera with 3x optical zoom lens and 2.5inch LCD screen.
“The EASYSHARE V550 breaks new ground in blending video and still photography. For the first time, videos can be automatically turned into stop-action still pictures perfect for printing and sharing. Record longer, TV-quality videos with sound — up to 80 continuous minutes — while using less memory storage. Avoid on-screen shaking with built-in digital image stabilization technology, and zoom-in on video subjects while recording using the 3x optical SCHNEIDER-KREUZNACH lens. Then watch the videos with friends on the big, bright, 2.5-inch LCD screen, viewable from nearly any angle.”

DigitalCameraInfo have published their review of the 4-megapixel Olympus C-170 (also called the D-425 in the US).
“The Olympus D-425 performed fairly well, displaying consistent color reproduction throughout testing. The camera managed to garner an overall color rating of 8.42 with over-saturation occurring in areas which can be expected from most point-and-shoot cameras. The Foliage Green (#4) and Brown (#1) hues were both over-saturated which is a bit unexpected although an over-saturated green will merely make the enhanced red and orange tones pop from the image even more without seeming too unnatural. For a low priced point-and-shoot mode, the Olympus D-425 will produce colors that are far stronger than some cameras costing twice as much.”

CNET have published their review of the 5 megapixel, 10x zoom Kodak EasyShare Z740 digital camera.
“A 10X zoom lens, manual exposure controls, 5-megapixel resolution, a versatile burst-shooting mode, and an electronic viewfinder that works as well in blazing sunlight as in murky interiors—there are certainly aspects of the Kodak EasyShare Z740 that might cause photo enthusiasts to sit up and take notice. Unfortunately, the downside includes rampant purple fringing, a bit of noise (marring otherwise decent image quality), a lack of manual focus, and a low-resolution EVF, which suffers from ghosting and blackouts between shots.”

PENTAX ANNOUNCES Optio60 DIGITAL CAMERA WITH HIGH RESOLUTION AND LOW LEARNING CURVE
Golden, Colorado (July 21, 2005)…High resolution digital photography is simpler than ever with the new PENTAX Optio60 digital camera. An excellent choice for digital newcomers, the PENTAX Optio60 offers 6.0 megapixel resolution and a 3X zoom lens in a compact, lightweight, and stylish design.
An easy-to-understand “Simple mode” deserves the credit for lowering the learning curve of the PENTAX Optio60. Set in this mode, users are free to concentrate on photography subjects while the Optio60 automatically selects optimal focus and exposure settings for scenes at hand.

DigitalCameraInfo have taken a look at the new 5 megapixel Kodak Easyshare C360 digital camera.
“The C360 is a suitable alternative for the point-and-shoot crowd, particularly when bundled with the Series 3 Printer Dock. The EasyShare C360 is equipped with a 1/2.5 inch 5 megapixel CCD and 3x optical all glass lens that creates sharp images with impressive clarity. The camera offers snapshooters 16 custom image presets, in-menu help options, easily legible bold font face, and 32MB of internal memory. Although the camera has limited manual controls, the interface is designed for the less photographically-engaged user, providing an opportunity to take and print images in just two buttons. Other than the camera’s substandard color reproduction, the $379.95 package is a strong value. Without the printer, there are many other alternatives within the $250 - $300 price bracket that will provide more shooting flexibility and control but can only hope to parallel the camera in simplicity.”
