PrinterSpot have just reviewed the A3 Canon PIXMA Pro9000 printer.
“If it’s large format photo prints you’re after, then you must look at the Canon Pixma Pro9000—the results are stunning. Capable of producing a 13 x 19 inch print (on a variety of media) in about 3.5 minutes, the Pro9000 is a heck of a printer, if you have room on your desk (and your wallet) for it. It’s probably not a great choice for those of you doing a lot of text or mixed documents, as the quality isn’t as good, nor are the first speeds as fast, as some cheaper printers.”

ePhotoZine have reviewed the Sigma 18-200mm F3.5-6.3 DC OS, the second Sigma lens to feature an Optical Stabiliser to compensate for camera shake.
“The problem with superzooms is compromise. Getting the best results from what is a stretching of optical laws to the extremes. At a zoom ratio of 11.1:1, this 18-200mm optic is a result of some well-balanced compromises though. As is usual in this type of lens, the wide end is better than the longer end in general, but does suffer some distortion. Barrel distortion is just evident at the wide end of the zoom, turning to negligible pincushion by the time the telephoto end is reached.”

Luminous Landscape have reviewed the new Canon S5 IS ultra-zoom compact camera, which features a 12x optical zoom lens equivalent to 36-432mm, optical image stabilizer and 8 megapixel sensor.
“The sensor is a 1/2.5” which translates to 5.76 x 4.29 mm. The ISO (gain) settings range from 80 to an ambitious 1600. As the following images indicate, (taken at 1/125s, f/5.6 and 14.5 mm) you should not expect to obtain reasonable-sized prints or do a lot of cropping with anything above ISO 200 – and maybe even that’s a little optimistic. I leave the camera set at ISO 80 so I don’t have to think about it. This is where the 3-stop image stabilization saves the day.”

Steves Digicams have reviewed the Samsung L77 digital camera, which offers a 7x internal optical zoom lens equivalent to 38-266mm, a 7 megapixel sensor and 2.5 inch LCD screen.
“Image quality was ok. While most of our samples are sharp, and show good exposure and color balance, I did see above average amounts of barrel distortion and chromatic aberrations. The internal 7x optical zoom lens offers much more versatility over the typical 3x zoom on most consumer compacts. Covering an equivalent zoom range of 38 - 266mm, it favors the telephoto end, however the 38mm wide angle extreme will afford decent interior and landscape photos.”

ThinkCamera have reviewed the new Olympus E-410 DSLR camera.
“And then there’s Live View. The preview system offers a live feed from the Olympus E-410’s sensor, overlaid with an optional histogram, depth of field preview, grid screen, cross hairs… the works. It slows down operation, as the mirror needs to flip down occasionally to control autofocus, and this introduces an ‘interesting’ klack-klack sound to the proceedings. Nevertheless, it’s a useful addition to the DSLR arsenal and one that’s hard to live without once you are used to it.”

Imaging Resource have reviewed the new Olympus E-410 DSLR camera.
“So it’s a mixed bag. Easy to use, great design, perfect size, nice features, good lens; but sometimes getting a good shot is harder than it should be. I hesitate to recommend the E-410 to the rank amateur, because I think too many of their images will be disappointing, especially indoors or in shadow. I do think it’s a good choice for those who need the smallest camera possible, and don’t mind tinkering with camera settings, and tweaking pictures after.”

DPReview have reviewed the Leica M8 digital rangefinder camera, which has a 10 megapixel sensor, focal factor of 1.33x and an ISO range of 160-2500.
“Thankfully Leica made the great decision not to have an anti-alias filter on the M8, this means that the sensor can capture every last ounce of detail from those ultra sharp lenses, and as long as you’re shooting RAW you’ll be able to see that very clearly in the images.”

DigitalCameraInfo have reviewed the GE G1 digital camera, which features a 3x optical zoom, 2.5-inch LCD screen and 7 megapixels.
“The GE G1 sells for a budget-friendly $199, but it isn’t worth it. Pictures in bright light were often overexposed, and it was nearly impossible to see anything on the LCD screen because of the horrible glare. Images in low light were either speckled with noise or infused with unnatural lighting from the flash. The GE G1 is one of the lowest priced digital cameras in the trendy ultra-slim market, but there are cameras that take better pictures for less.”
