CameraLabs have just reviewed the new Panasonic DMC-FZ8 ultra-zoom compact digital camera.
“Panasonic claims to have improved both with its latest Venus III processor, but there’s still some serious issues when you look closely at images. Viewed at 100%, the FZ8 exhibits smearing of fine detail even at its lowest sensitivities – and with the with noise reduction turned down. It’s certainly not the camera for someone who likes to examine images on-screen at 100%, but to be fair, this is becoming par for the course for non-DSLRs and we’ve actually seen worse examples.”

ePhotoZine have just reviewed the Fujifilm FinePix F20, a 6 megapixel digital camera with a 3x zoom lens, ISO 2000 and 2.5-inch LCD screen.
“In ISO ranges 100-400 the quality of the image is good, and there is plenty of detail. By ISO800 some noise is starting to appear and the image is becoming slighty fuzzy, and at ISO1600 the noise is clearly visible and all parts of the picture are grainy, but no more than you would expect for such a high ISO setting.”

DCResource have just reviewed the 15x zoom Sony Cyber Shot DSC-H9 digital camera.
“In most respects, it’s actually worse than the DSC-H5 that came before it, which was generally regarded as one of the best ultra zoom cameras on the market. While some changes were for the better (more zoom power and improved camera performance), the H9 disappoints in several areas, most notably image quality, build quality, and usability.”

PrinterInfo have reviewed the Epson Stylus Photo R2400 A3+ photo printer.
“The R2400 certainly shined in our photo print quality tests. It scored much higher than any printer yet tested for color accuracy and color gamut. While the density of the blackest blacks was not as high as we’d like to see for a printer with such exceptional black-and-white printing capabilities, the R2400 produced very nice quality black-and-white prints, with a wide tonal range and good contrast.”

PCMag have just reviewed the Nikon Coolpix S50c camera, which offers offer 7.2 megapixels, a 3x zoom lens (38-114mm), Vibration Reduction, Face-priority AF, In-Camera Red-Eye Fix and D-Lighting, plus a 3 inch wide-angle LCD monitor and Wi-Fi connectivity.
“Nikon continues taking the lead in wireless digital cameras, but these cameras are still a bit tricky to use. A number of things keep the Nikon Coolpix S50c from receiving top honors. First, I found significant shutter lag, mainly due to the delayed flash effect in its auto setting, and there are other annoying performance issues. Second, the Coolpix’s fancy wireless features still proved to be way too confusing to use, at least at first.”
