DPReview have reviewed the new Olympus E-410 DSLR camera.
“Default image quality is good, if not as crisp as the competition. However, if you play with the settings for a while, or more specifically turn Noise Filter off and set Sharpness to -2 (to compensate for the default high sharpening used to overcome the softening effect of the Noise Filter) you’ll see that the camera is capturing just as much detail (if not more) than other ten megapixel digital SLRs, and that the lens is more than up to the job too.”

DIWA member e-Fotografija have reviewed the new Canon EOS-1D Mark III DSLR camera.
“Any way you look at it, the Canon EOS 1D MkIII is a photojournalist’s dream camera. Loads of features, intuitive settings, antidust system, liveview, and excellent image quality at high sensitivity are what make it so amazing. And it is this last thing that makes the Mk III so special.”

CameraLabs have reviewed the Olympus E-510 DSLR camera, which features a built-in image stabiliser in the camera body. The E510 also has a new image processing engine that offers excellent noise performance and 3fps with a seven image RAW buffer in burst mode.
“The Olympus E-510 is arguably the most feature-packed DSLR in its class, ticking almost every box on the wish-lists of new DSLR buyers. You get 10 Megapixels in a relatively light and compact form factor, the option of one or two decent kit lenses, and the triple whammy of built-in anti-shake, anti-dust and Live View capabilities, not to mention easy access to a wide variety of settings.”

PopPhoto have reviewed the new Sigma SD14 DSLR camera and taken an in-depth look at the Foveon X3 sensor.
“But in RAW, also at ISO 100, the SD14 performs more like a good 10MP DSLR, capturing about 10 percent higher resolution and Excellent color, earning it an Excellent image quality rating. Still, NEF RAW files from the $920 (street) 10.2MP Nikon D80 show higher detail. So this is not what you’d expect from a camera billed as having 14.1 megapixels.”

Olympus look like they might finally be taking the wraps off their new professional DSLR camera, dubbed the P-1, which was first shown as a prototype at the Photokina and then the PMA trade show. Olympus Europe are currently running a teaser page with the current E-410 and E-510 shown alongside a mysterious camera shrouded in cloth, with “Coming Soon” promising an imminent launch. It’s anyone’s guess how soon that actually is, but at least the P-1 has finally made it onto Olympus’ product pages (found via Engadget).
“Yes it refers to the E1 replacement. Clues to the design direction were shown at PMA which was widely reported. Clues to certain feature directions are in the E410/510 - also trailed at PMA. We are not able to say more at the moment other than the official line of a 2007 launch. We also have several new lenses to be launched later this year to increase our position as the largest “designed for digital” range - the message is E System is growing and remains the only built from scratch system. As a side note please look out for Chris Bonington taking an E410 up an unclimbed Himalayan peak this summer - a reflection of his Everest trip in the 1970’s with the OM1 which was a real breakthrough camera then, and activity like this one highlights what we are looking forward to. Please also note that Olympus are sponsoring a the Lee Miller centenary exhibition at the V&A museum in London starting in mid September. Things all building to a big launch of a big product….” commented Mark Thackara of Olympus UK.

The Online Photographer have just reviewed the 6.1 megapixel Pentax K100D DSLR camera.
“So the upshot of my brief experience with the camera, and my appraisal of its situation in the current market, is that it tags along behind the Canikon category leaders offering—quite fairly—less for less, but, when called upon to compete head-to-head, it slaps its only direct competitor, the D50, smartly upside the head with its bargain anti-shake.”

DCResource have reviewed the new Nikon D40x DSLR, which features a 10.2 megapixel sensor, producing 3,872 x 2,592-pixel images, 3D Colour Matrix Metering II system and 2.5 inch LCD screen, all in the most compact Nikon DSLR ever.
“If I could describe the D40x’s photo quality in one word, it would be “vivid”. Nikon has turned up the color saturation to “Kodak” levels, which I think is a little over-the-top. If you agree then you’ll want to play around with the various color settings on the camera. So what else? Exposure was spot-on in all of my real world photos. Being a digital SLR, photos are a bit on the soft side, and this too can be addressed by modifying a setting in the menu, should you feel the need. The camera is capturing plenty of detail, though, with nearly no noise, and no “smearing” from noise reduction. Purple fringing did pop up with both of the lenses I tested (the 18-55 and 55-200), but it was fairly minor.”

ePhotoZine have reviewed the new Sigma SD14 DSLR camera.
“To get the best from this camera does require shooting in the RAW X3F format and self-processing with this software. The results from the built in JPEG options are very good but with very little control over the output, the menu adjustments restricted to Contrast, Sharpness, Saturation and Colour Space.”

Megapixel.net have reviewed the new Olympus E-410 DSLR camera.
“With its excellent image quality, be it at the lowest JPEG compression or with the RAW format, its complete set of shooting modes, its advanced Live View mode, or even its effective dust reduction system, the Olympus Evolt E-410 has one of the best price to value ratios of cameras currently on the market. Moreover, the advantage and value that the 2-lens kit offers should place this camera high on the list of any person wanting to move to a digital SLR camera.”

DIWA member LetsGoDigital have reviewed the FujiFilm S5 Pro digital SLR camera.
“I’m less enthusiastic about the S5Pro’s menu structure, because of the two buttons to survey the menu, and the menu itself. I need to search too much. I know that it just takes getting used to, but still, in my opinion it can be a lot better. I’m also not very enthusiastic about the face detection. It’s fun, but it doesn’t work as well as I’d hoped, and to be honest, I don’t see what its use is.”

“That it only took four months for the D40 to leap from six to ten megapixels begs the simple question: why Nikon didn’t just release the D40X in the first instance? Was the ten megapixel sensor not ready in time? Did they have stock of the ‘old’ six megapixel sensor laying around? We will probably never know.”

DCViews have reviewed the 10 megapixel Samsung GX-10 DSLR camera.
“Image colours are spot on with nicely subdued natural colours. If you prefer more punchy results, the Vivid Image Tone option in the menu boosts saturation and contrast considerably. For consumer-like holiday prints the latter would be ideal although a (semi)pro photographer may prefer the natural setting, which will allow him to adjust image tones and contrast to what the image will be used for later. Characteristic for most DSLRs, the Samsung’s JPEG images have a nice smooth appearance about them with plenty of detail.”

CameraLabs have reviewed the new Olympus E-410 DSLR camera.
“It may be small, light and styled like an SLR of the 80s, but Olympus has packed the E-410 with the latest technology. The Live View facility may be clunky at times and not as smooth as a consumer compact, but we found it invaluable on several occasions, whether delivering 100% coverage, overlaid guidelines or a depth-of-field preview.”

ThinkCamera have reviewed the 10 megapixel Samsung GX-10 DSLR camera.
“Noise levels are pretty good, with ISO 100 and 200 very clean. At ISO 400, some luminance noise creeps in, but it’s still acceptable. ISO 800 starts showing the worst of the noise, with noticeable luminance noise and some hints of extra noise in the blue channel - by ISO 1600 the blue noise has become more pronounced in dark areas and starts putting a slight blue cast on parts of the picture.”
