Imaging Resource have reviewed the new Olympus mju 740, which features a 5x optical zoom and 7 megapixels.
“Like its stable mate Stylus 750, the Olympus Stylus 740 has stunningly good looks, but I was disappointed in its performance. Color just seemed unnatural and I came home with far too many blurry images for a camera that has image stabilization. I really wondered if the review unit was just malfunctioning. But it wasn’t a mechanical issue.”

DPReview have reviewed the the Fujifilm FinePix S6500fd (also known as the S6000fd), a 6 megapixel digital camera with a 10.7x zoom lens equivalent to 28-300mm.
“Ultimately the S6000fd’s biggest problem is that - almost without exception - its competitors offer optical image stabilization, something that transforms the usability of the long end of the zoom. I found that too many of my shots - in daylight - came out with camera shake because I didn’t want to shoot at ISO 800.”

“Hand somebody an S6500fd and 9 times out of 10 they will think it’s a DSLR. You could probably ask them to change the lens and watch while they try to figure out how to release it (you can’t - like all bridges cameras it’s a fixed lens). I never got them in the same room together but it’s about the same size as the new Nikon D40 with a compact zoom fitted. This is a long way of saying “for a bridge - it’s huge.”

ePhotoZine have reviewed the Pentax K10D, which offers 10.2 megapixels, shake-reduction, dust removal system, 22-bit colour, three new shooting modes, 2.5 inch LCD screen and 11 point auto-focusing.
“ISO setting go from 100-1600 and the camera has a noise reduction setting that will operate at all speeds. Although it does make some slight difference at high ISOs, the job can be far better done in dedicated software packages. Files taken at speeds up to ISO800 are quite usable anyway, and the ability to select sensitivity speeds in increments of half or third stops gives great leeway.”

ThinkCamera have just reviewed the new 10 megapixel Nikon D80 DSLR camera.
“The first thing I noticed about the Nikon D80 was the size. It fits nicely into my hands and all the buttons and wheels are easily accessible. It has a lovely balanced feel to it and although it’s heavier than my other cameras it’s not so heavy that it gives you neck ache. I bought mine body only as I’d bought a lens second hand but it’s the same lens as comes in the kit and that’s the Nikkor 18 to 70mm lens.”

“The Coolpix S10 is pushing it a little, packing a 10x zoom into such a small space, but the results are surprisingly good. Macro mode, for starters, got closer than most any camera we’ve reviewed. Though it’s soft in the corners like most digital cameras, we’re talking tack sharp over most of the center.”
