Photo.net have reviewed the new 5 megapixel Canon PowerShot A610 digital camera.
“The Powershot A610 has 5 ISO settings, Auto, 50, 100, 200 and 400. The auto setting isn’t as useful as it might be in dim light because it seems very reluctant to use ISO 400 and so gives shutter speeds slower than might be easily handheld under some circumstances. Noise at ISO 50 is very low and even at ISO 100 is pretty good. There is a noticeable increase in noise at ISO 200 and even more at 400 (as expected). However even at ISO 400 I would say noise isn’t excessive. For example in a 4x6 print of an ISO 400 image, noise isn’t really a problem unless you look for it in areas of uniform tone. Pixel peepers - those looking at screen images at 100% magnification - may be bothered by it, but by digicam standards, it’s not bad.”

DIWA Press Release
With the LUMIX DMC-FZ30, Panasonic has developed a highly competitive alternative to digital system cameras. Not only does it match most D-SLRs with its 8 Megapixel image resolution, it also offers virtually the same automatic and manual controls in a compact and user-friendly body. Topping any D-SLR package, the FZ30 also features a fast 12x LEICA zoom with optical stabiliser, delivering outstanding image quality.
Amsterdam, 14. November 2005 – DIWA (Digital Imaging Websites Association), a world-wide organisation of collaborating websites within digital imaging, today announces a DIWA Gold Award to the Panasonic LUMIX DMC-FZ30 megazoom camera.
With its LUMIX range, Panasonic has matured into a highly respectable digital camera manufacturer in record time; an astonishing achievement proven by the DMC-FZ30. Supported by team-mate LEICA, the world-renowned lens manufacturer, the DMC-FZ30 offers a fast, high performance 12x DC Vario-Elmarit zoom lens, equivalent to 35-420 mm f/2.8-3.7 and 5 cm macro capability. With the aid of two high quality lens converters, the focal lengths may be extended to 24.5 mm wide angle and 714 mm telephoto. To suppress image blur at hand-held telephoto shooting, the lens features an efficient image stabiliser.

Pocket-Lint have published a review of the Nikon Coolpix P2 Wi-Fi digital camera.
“In terms of image quality, the one image quality downside is some intrusive noise in shadows, even at ISO 100 and with the noise reduction mode activated. Otherwise, the P2 provides a comprehensive package of metering (spot, centre-weighted and matrix) AF modes, burst shooting (up to 30fps) and an interval shooting mode. Slight underexposure seemed the norm but otherwise the image quality is exemplary, crisp, and colourful and with exposure compensation and D-Lighting as back-up, the images were superb.”

DIWA member Steves Digicams have published their review of the 12.8 megapixel Canon EOS 5D digital SLR.
“The bottom line is always image quality, and the 5D does not disappoint with its combination of 12.8-megapixel resolution, full-frame image sensor and low image noise. The 5D is capable of producing images rivalling the quality of the professional 1DS Mark II. Most pro’s will opt to shoot in RAW mode, using software tools to adjust for the desired degree of sharpness, saturation and contrast. But the 5D also produces high-quality finished JPEG images courtesy of its Picture Styles. While image noise is noticeable in midtone and shadow areas at sensitivities over ISO 800, ISO 1600 and 3200 produce very usable images.”

Photoxels 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).
“The image quality on the Fujifilm S9000 is very good to excellent, though not approaching the exceptional low noise capability of the F10. Nevertheless, this disappointment aside [editor: and it’s a big disappointment for many fans who were expecting nothing less], the Fujifilm S9000 trounces its competitors. None of its competitors offer ISO 800 or 1600, and the S9000’s ISO 1600 is comparable to their ISO 400. Very impressive, so don’t lose sight of this accomplishment.”

DPReview have published their review of the 12.8 megapixel Canon EOS 5D digital SLR.
“The EOS 5D is a fantastic photographic tool which is capable of producing really excellent results. The caveat is that it takes a little more care and understanding of your equipment (especially lenses). We found resolution to be absolutely excellent with crisp detailed results straight from the camera (JPEG) and even more detail available if you shoot RAW. Different ‘looks’ can be easily achieved via Picture Styles (almost like changing film) and the range of in-camera image parameters has been expanded. Noise levels are essentially identical to the EOS 20D as is dynamic range, this is neither a surprise or a disappointment, it simply means consistency and the maintaining of an expectation built by Canon in the performance of its CMOS sensor.”

DigitalCameraInfo have published a review of the 8 megapixel Nikon Coolpix P1 Wi-Fi digital camera.
“Nikon started with a basic set of features – 8 megapixels, 3.5x optical zoom lens, 2.5-inch LCD screen – and crammed them in a compact body with a built-in wireless port. The consumer wireless market is quite new and the P1 is one of the first three models in this new segment. The P1 has stiff competition and answers with more megapixels and a bit more manual functionality. However, the Nikon Coolpix P1 also skimps in some very important areas. The 2.5-inch LCD screen has only 110,000 pixels, making the view not as smooth as the view from other models. Also, the wireless port is built-in but the setup itself isn’t wireless. It requires users to connect the camera with the USB cable to save the computer and printer profiles on the P1. Pictures and movies on the P1 can only be transferred to PictureProject software and PictBridge printers with the optional wireless printer adapter. Pictures cannot be emailed directly from the camera or showcased on online albums, so the P1 doesn’t realize the full potential of WiFi.”
