Olympus Mju Digital 600The compact 6 megapixel Olympus Mju Digital 600 continues Olympus’ line of weatherproof digital cameras. The Mju 600 is resistant to water spray, although it won’t survive being dunked in a tank of water! Other standout features include automatic brightening of the LCD screen in low-light, a red-eye mode that fixes photos that are stored in the Mju Digital 600’s memory, and a mode which reduces blurry images caused by camera shake or a fast-moving subject. A 2.5 inch LCD screen and 23 scene modes round off the specification. Does the Olympus Mju Digital 600 deserve a place in your pocket? Find out in my review.

Luminous Landscape editor Michael Reichmann explains how he keeps his digital photos safe in his latest article.

“When traveling on a shoot, as soon as a card is full it is removed from the camera and placed into an Epson P2000 (or equivalent) where its files are copied to the Epson’s hard drive. Once the card has been copied it is removed and then placed in a metal card wallet. The card is placed inside facing backwards so that it can easily be identified as an exposed card. Since the Epson 2000 has a 40GB drive there is more than enough storage for even the busiest day’s shooting. It can also copy more than ten 2GB cards on a single charge, so using it in the field without AC power is not an issue.”

CNN are reporting that Canon have just announced a 9.3% drop in profits for the last quarter - yes, that’s right, a drop as opposed to the usual rise.

“Canon attributed the fall in profit—its first in seven quarters—to the absence of a big pension gain booked in the same period last year. “If it hadn’t been for this, we would have maintained our profit growth momentum. Our business hasn’t worsened,” Toshizo Tanaka, Canon Senior Managing Director, told a press conference.”

Kodak Easyshare V550Pocket-Lint have published their review of the Kodak Easyshare V550, a 5 megapixel camera with 3x optical zoom lens and 2.5inch LCD screen.

“Overall the Kodak V550 is a smart little model that is easy to use and takes good pictures. We especially liked the scene mode shortcuts on the top of the model. What’s the catch? Well the docking station doesn’t look that robust and we get the feeling that after a couple of months you may be having to buy another as the camera connects to a socket that is raised above the main base.”

Panasonic DMC-FZ30DesignTechnica have just reviewed the Panasonic DMC-FZ30. This is an 8 megapixel compact digital camera with a 12x Leica optical zoom lens equivalent to 35-420mm, optical image stabilizer, addition of a manual zoom ring and rotating LCD screen with 235,000 pixels.

“This is the newest generation of Panasonic’s highly-regarded line-up of mega zoom cameras. With 8-megapixel resolution, a 12x Leica optical zoom and built-in optical image stabilization, this digicam is a decent alternative for those looking for D-SLR features but don’t want the hassle of interchangeable lenses plus they’d like the ability to view a live image on a 2-inch LCD screen and take short videos. The DMC-FZ30 feels very much like D-SLR yet costs a lot less—especially when you budget the cost of lenses that would equal this focal range (a hefty 35-420mm in 35mm terms). Although a good camera, it has its problems but none of them are so bad as to chuck it into the recycle bin.”

“Announced in February and released in April, the Nikon Coolpix 7900 is still a candidate for the 2005 holiday shopping season. Its small black body makes it one of the more stylish Coolpix models and it packs an impressive 7.1 effective megapixels onto its 1/1.8” CCD. The Coolpix 7900 is the big sister of the Nikon Coolpix 5900 and has many of the same features, but the 7900 boasts a larger pixel count and a few other tweaks in the specifications. This model houses Nikon’s new technology set, which includes face-priority auto focus, in-camera red-eye fix, and D-Lighting compensation.”
