CNET have reviewed the 5 megapixel Olympus FE-110 digital camera.
“Although its most basic specs make the Olympus FE-110 seem like a junior version of the current top FE-series model, the 6-megapixel FE-120, more than a million pixels separate the two cameras. More importantly, the Olympus FE-110 mounts an entirely different lens, has a chunkier body shape with a different control layout, and offers more than a dozen fewer scene modes. Where the FE-120 offsets its ho-hum features with good image quality and a bargain street price, for about $30 less, the FE-110 delivers only mediocre images and strips the features to the bare minimum. It’s more akin to the superbudget FE-100.”

“The EasyShare-One is one of the most unique digicams we have seen thus far from Kodak (11.2005.) This is not your typical point-n-shoot model, more like a “PDA/Digital Camera”. The camera side of the model offers users a 4-megapixel imager, 3x optical zoom lens, swiveling 3.0-inch touchscreen LCD as well as various user friendly exposure modes (Auto, Portrait, Sports, Landscape, Close-up, Night portrait, Night landscape, Snow, Beach, Text, Fireworks, Flower, Museum/Polite, Self-portrait, Party, Children, and Backlight.) While the “PDA” side includes email and Wi-Fi for connecting to wireless networks and printers.”

Popular Photography have published their review of the 12.8 megapixel Canon EOS 5D digital SLR.
“Canon’s New EOS 5D DSLR ($3,300 street, body only) is a study in the yin and yang of camera design. On the one hand, its 12.8MP full-frame CMOS sensor eliminates the 35mm lens factor found on all lower-priced DSLRs and gives it a potential image-quality edge. On the other hand, it costs more than twice as much as the 8.2MP EOS 20D ($1,300 street) from which it was cloned, and it’s missing a few of the 20D’s features. So you might ask, if the EOS 5D takes a picture in the woods and nobody hears it, does it make a sound purchase? Put simply, yes. Which is why we made it our 2005 Camera of the Year.”

Imaging Resource have reviewed the new Canon IXUS 55 compact digital camera (also known as the SD450), which has 5.0 megapixels, 2.5 inch LCD screen and 3x optical zoom lens.
“With the PowerShot SD550 and SD450 Digital ELPH, Canon has once again stood its stylish ELPH digital cameras on end, packing even more features into the stylish compacts. The 7.12-megapixel SD550 and 5.0-megapixel SD450 have the same shell and specs as their SD500 and SD400 predecessors (which continue to be available), but offer more options. Canon has retained their acclaimed optical viewfinder but matched it with a large 2.5-inch LCD monitor, redesigning the user interface to take advantage of the new screen. Both continue to offer the extremely unusual (and frankly, rather cool) “My Color” modes that allow you to selectively replace any color in your photo with a different one, or to make the image black and white with the exception of a single color. Overall, the SD450 is one of the more appealing subcompact digital cameras we’ve seen to date.”

DIWA member Steves Digicams have published their review of the Fujifilm FinePix S9500 Zoom, a new 9 megapixel digital camera with a 28-300mm lens with twist-barrel zoom control (also known as the S9000).
“Replacing the S7000 at the top of Fuji’s consumer digicam product line, the FinePix S9000 ups the ante in terms of resolution (9 vs 6.3 megapixels) and zoom range (10.7x 28-300mm vs 6x 35-210mm), while retaining the SLR-like form factor, advanced features and VGA movie mode of its predecessor. While it can be used as a simple point-n-shoot in Auto and Scene modes, the S9000 will appeal most to experienced photographers who will benefit from its advanced exposure control and optics.”

DPReview have just reviewed the 7 megapixel Olympus SP-310 digital camera.
“The SP-310 is perhaps a camera that deserves more attention than it has so far received - it offers a comprehensive feature set at a remarkably low price in an easy to use and well put together package. Yes, the JPEG output suffers from the same over-sharpening artefacts as the recently-reviewed Stylus 800, but to a significantly lesser degree, and certainly not in a way that will adversely affect prints. And of course in mitigation SP-310 also offers the advantage of raw capture to those with the patience to wait 10 seconds between shots and to fine tune the conversion.”

TrustedReviews have a review of the new Olympus SP-350, an 8 megapixel camera that offers a 3x optical zoom lens equivalent to 38-114mm and a 2.5 inch LCD monitor.
“Like all Olympus models, the SP-350’s build quality is outstandingly good, and even though it has a plastic body it feels solid and robust. Although it is physically quite a small camera, it has a large sculpted handgrip and is comfortable and secure to hold. Pressing the small and slightly fiddly power button next to the optical viewfinder activates the camera in about 1.5 seconds, a very creditable performance. The main shooting control is the mode dial on the top panel, which offers a choice of full auto, program exposure, aperture or shutter priority and full manual, as well as 24 pre-set scene modes and four use-defined ‘My modes’.”
