TrustedReviews take a look at the new Pentax OptioS5z, which has a large 2.5 inch LCD screen, 3x optical zoom lens and a 5 megapixel sensor.
“In terms of picture quality the S5z is a solid performer, although it does have a few minor problems. Exposure, focusing and colour reproduction are first-rate, and noise control is especially good. As with the S5n there is no visible noise at 80 or 100 ISO, and only a little at 200 ISO. Some noise is creeping into the shadows at 400 ISO, but images are still completely useable.”

PCMagazine have published their review of the new 12 megapixel Nikon D2X digital SLR.
“Digital-SLR enthusiasts and even pro shooters will be rendered speechless when they pick up Nikon’s top-of-the-line D-SLR, the 12.3-megapixel Nikon D2X ($4,999.95 list). After the oooohs and aaaahs (and recovery from the shock of its very high price), there will be a long pause as they analyze all the features available on the D2X’s body (the camera doesn’t come with either a kit lens or a built-in flash).”

DCResource have published their review of the Kodak Easyshare V550, a 5 megapixel camera with 3x optical zoom lens and 2.5inch LCD screen.
“Overall I was quite pleased with the EasyShare V550’s photo quality. Pictures were well-exposed, with saturated colors (maybe a little too saturated at times) and low noise and purple fringing levels. I thought photos were a little soft at default settings, and if you agree you can adjust the in-camera sharpening to “high”.”

DigitalCameraInfo have just reviewed the Casio Exilim EX-Z57, a compact 5 megapixel digital camera with a 2.7 inch LCD screen.
“The Casio Exilim EX-Z57 joins the crowded field of 5 megapixel sub-compact point-and-shoot cameras. With an oversized 2.7-inch LCD and sturdy metal construction, the EX-Z57 will appeal to a variety of users in search of a small camera for snapshots. Unfortunately, our testing shows that the camera’s image quality is generally poor, with marginal color accuracy, and substandard control of noise. Available online for around $300, the camera is priced competitively.”

PCMagazine have published their review of the Nikon D50, a new affordable 6.1 megapixel digital SLR.
“When it comes to the digital SLR market, Nikon has always focused on high-end, professional models like the D2X. While the company has not ignored consumer D-SLRs, its primary mission has always been serving pro shooters. That is why we were pleasantly surprised by the introduction of the D50 and what seems to be more of a commitment to the consumer. The D50 has a great price and includes helpful, user-friendly features. These, combined with excellent quality and performance, made it easy to single out this camera as our new Editors’ Choice for D-SLRs.”

PCMagazine have just posted their review of the Fuji FinePix S3 Pro digital SLR.
“Like the Fujifilm FinePix S2 Pro before it, the new Fujifilm FinePix S3 Pro is built on the Nikon N80 film SLR chassis—one of the most enjoyable cameras to hold. Because the N80 is a plastic-bodied camera, however, it’s not as rugged as other pro cameras, such as the Nikon D2X, which has a harder magnesium-alloy body. It’s just one of the ways in which the S3 Pro seems to exhibit an identity problem: Is it an expensive consumer digital SLR or a cheaper alternative to the high-priced pro D-SLRs? That’s a question that you may have to answer for yourself, depending on your needs.””

“The Kodak V550 is compact enough to fit in your pocket; those with large hands would want to try out its small control buttons first. An extra large 2.5 in. LCD monitor with 230,000 pixels high resolution and a wide 170° viewing angle makes viewing pictures easy. Standard is a docking station that recharges the camera’s battery and also serves as a convenient stand for viewing your pictures hands free: press the Slide Show button on the docking station and your captured pictures automatically plays.”

DCResource have published theirreview of the new HP Photosmart 385 compact photo printer.
“Printing from Adobe Photoshop, the 385 ran into difficulty printing grays in a color photograph, which it interpreted as blues (as you’ll see in the following example). The blues it produced were slightly too light and unnatural, and the purples were too blue. However, using HP’s own editing/printing software, the colors were more accurate. The color results were similar to the previous HP printer we tested, the HP 8150.”
