Imaging Resource have published their review of the 7 megapixel Olympus C-70 Zoom (called the Olympus C-7000 Zoom in the USA).
“With full-autofocus shutter lag times of 0.53-0.54 second and prefocus lag of only 0.157 second, the C-7000’ is a good bit more responsive to the shutter button than are most cameras I test. Cycle times are good if not amazing, at roughly two seconds per frame, for up to four shots. Continuous-mode speed is excellent, at 0.38 second/frame or 2.6 frames/second in continuous-high mode, but the only for bursts of two shots at a time.”

Luminous Landscape have posted their review of the Epson RD-1 digital rangefinder camera.
“Epson’s decision to produce this unique camera was a bold one and they deserve much praise for bringing it to production. In most important respects, the R-D1 functions as the digital rangefinder that many of us have been waiting years for. Its primary flaws are that it needs a much larger RAW buffer and a histogram review mode. It also may have problems with vignetting using very short lenses but I’ll need to wait until I’m able to test it with various super wide-angle lenses to draw any conclusions. Finally, many people have complained about rangefinder focus problems with the R-D1 using certain lenses and the cause of these problems is undetermined. I did not have focus problems with the example of the R-D1 I tested using the lenses I’ve tested so far.”

DPReview have just reviewed the 4 megapixel Canon Digital IXUS 40 (also known as the PowerShot SD300 Digital ELPH).
“In an ideal world buying an ultra compact camera would not involve any compromise at all. But this ain’t a perfect world, and if you want a camera you really can carry with you anytime, anywhere then you have to accept there will be some trade-off in terms of absolute image quality. The SD300 is, fortunately, more than just a slim, cool, stylish camera with enough silly names (ELPH, IXY, IXUS) for an entire episode of Monty Python. It’s a fast, easy to use, well-specified camera that can genuinely claim to be pocket-sized, and it produces images that - whist by no means perfect - are sharp, clean and colorful, and it does so with the minimum fuss.”

CNET have reviewed the Kodak Easyshare CX7300 (US$129.95 MSRP), which is designed for the entry-level digital photographer. Its 3.2-megapixel resolution and 3X digital zoom provide prints up to 11 x 14 inches.
“The Kodak EasyShare CX7300 is a minimalist digital camera at a minimalist price. Available for little more than the tariff on a Webcam a few years ago, it’s a simple 3.2-megapixel snapshooter that can ease the greenest neophyte into digital photography. If you want just the basics, you probably won’t miss all the features this camera doesn’t offer, nor will you care that its image quality is mediocre.”

CNET have published their review of the 7 megapixel Sony Cybershot DSC-V3.
“Part of the first generation of 7-megapixel digital cameras, Sony’s DSC-V3 boasts a 4X Carl Zeiss zoom lens, a big 2.5-inch LCD, plenty of advanced features, and fairly sprightly performance. Though its image quality isn’t absolutely top tier, it’s still a potentially appealing choice for enthusiast photographers looking for a compact package.”

Imaging Resource have posted their review of the new 8 megapixel Nikon Coolpix 8800.
“In working with it, we found the Coolpix 8800 to be a very appealing camera to use. Apart from a few minor niggles, its controls and ergonomics were really just right, its long-ratio zoom lens was impressive, and its VR (Vibration Reduction) technology seemed unusually effective at reducing the effects of camera shake. Image quality was generally excellent, with loads of resolution, in-camera sharpening that struck a good balance between perceived sharpness and minimal artifacts, good (if somewhat bright) color, and a lens that kept chromatic aberration largely in check yet maintained good sharpness in the corners of the frame.”

TrustedReviews have reviewed Canon’s new entry-level digital camera, the PowerShot A400.
“Anyone with a grounding in traditional photography may find the lack of control over the picture taking process limiting, but for almost anyone else the A400 manages to combine the virtues of point-and-shoot with the image quality of cameras many times the price, all in a small, sleek body. The lack of a genuine wide-angle end to the zoom range and weak performance in low light takes the shine off an otherwise excellent showing. Were it not for the existence of the slightly more expensive but better specified PowerShot A-75, the A400 would have landed itself a recommended award.”

DigitalCameraInfo.com have just reviewed the 5 megapixel Kodak Easyshare LS753, which was first announced back in January.
“Kodak’s EasyShare LS753 has been designed for the point-and-shoot consumer seeking lots of automatic control settings but with the possibility for manual control. It has a nicely sized 1/2.5-inch 5MP CCD, and a 1.8-inch LCD screen. The menus are set up neatly, with full word headings and clear subsections, and even if some of the controls are undersized, all of them are easily accessed. The LS753 gets poor marks for its impractical viewfinder, with only 80 percent frame coverage, and the fact that, at $349.95, the 2.8x optical zoom lens seems a little paltry. This camera is great for the financially carefree user who wants an aesthetically pleasing point-and-shoot camera that is easily navigated.”

DCResource have just reviewed the 3 megapixel Canon PowerShot SD200 Digital ELPH (also known as the IXUS 30).
“Overall the PowerShot SD200 is a very ultra-compact point-and-shoot camera. Photo quality is very good, though the occasional dark or blurry corner and purple fringing are a step down from the old S410/S500. Still, this camera will do a great job for its target audience: namely, web photos and smaller-sized prints. The SD200 features a stylish, ultra-thin metal body that will go anywhere. It’s well-built for the most part, save for the incredibly cheap plastic door over the memory card / battery compartment on the bottom of the camera.”

Cameratown have just reviewed the blast from the past in digital form that is the recently-announced Rolleiflex MiniDigi digital camera.
“It would be easy to drag this camera through the mud if image quality and features were the real reason to own this camera. However, the truth is, this camera is for Rolleiflex enthusiasts who will get great pleasure at showing up at an event with this camera around their neck, cranking the handle, and looking down into the LCD viewfinder to snap a picture. Yes, the camera lacks a flash, zoom lens, good image quality, and many more features we have come to expect in cameras selling for $100.00 - but none of the those cameras will give you the nostalgic feeling that holding this Rolleiflex MiniDigi camera will give you. I think it is similar to driving around in a antique “kit” car. It is less about performance than it is nostalgia. The anticipated street price is $299. It’s your money. You decide.”

Steves Digicams have published their review of the 7 megapixel Sony Cybershot DSC-V3.
“The DSC-V3 is Sony’s 2004 upgrade to the 5-megapixel Cyber-shot DSC-V1 we reviewed in 2003. In addition to the improvement in resolution courtesy of Sony’s 1/1.8” 7.2 Megapixel Super HAD CCD, the V3 includes a higher capacity battery, a larger 2.5-inch LCD monitor, and the ability to record on both Memory Stick and CompactFlash Type I media. Many of the V1’s advanced features were in no need of improvement; the V3 has retained its rich set of exposure modes, and unique Hologram AF illuminator, Night framing and Night shot features”
