DPReview have published their review of the new 7 megapixel Samsung Digimax V700.
“The V700 is the first Samsung camera we’ve ever tested on dpreview, and to be honest we were fairly sceptical that a camera offering so much at a price well below similarly-specified cameras from the mainstream manufacturers could possibly deliver on its promise. So does it? In a word, partially. In many respects the V700 can hold its own when compared to significantly more expensive models such as the Canon S70 or Olympus C-7000Z. It has a very comprehensive set of photographic controls (which aren’t hidden away in menus), a good lens producing superb resolution and a well-rounded feature set that combines user-friendly ‘point and shoot’ ease with proper enthusiast control. It also produces bright, sharp results that make very appealing prints, though purists will find that even after tweaking the various parameters the images are a little too ‘over processed’ (and a little noisy) for their liking.”

Photo-i have reviewed the new A3+ printer from the HP, the Photosmart 8750, which was announced at PMA in February.
“As far as monochrome printing (B/W to you photographers) goes, HP still packs a good punch. The prints I produced didn’t display any colour cast whatsoever. I tried sending a file to the printer which was greyscale but in RGB and printed it as if it were a colour file. There was a very slight shift towards cyan but nothing when compared to the competition. Printing the same file but with the Greyscale box checked in the HP print dialogue panel produced a totally neutral grey print. I can’t fault this printer for monochrome printing.”

DIWA member Steves Digicams have reviewed the Canon Digital IXUS 50, a 5 megapixel digital camera with stainless steel finish that is Canon’s smallest ever 5.0 Megapixel optical zoom camera. The Canon IXUS 50 features a 3.0x zoom, a large 2.0” LCD screen and high quality VGA video clips at 30fps.
“The SD400’s lens is an excellent piece of glass. It has a flexible zoom range of 35-105mm in 35mm equivalence, providing a moderately wide field of view for interior and scenic shots, and telephoto coverage useful for portraits and to bring your distant subjects closer. The lens exhibits noticeable barrel distortion at wide angle, but no pin cushioning at telephoto. Chromatic aberrations are well controlled, with only the slightest amount of purple fringing detectable in high contrast areas. The lens produces sharp results from corner to corner, and is a good match for the SD400’s 5-megapixel imager.”

PC Magazine are first off the mark with their review of the very new Epson PictureMate Deluxe Viewer Edition printer.
“When we reviewed the original PictureMate, we said that we’d like it even better if it had a color LCD for previewing images, but that was the only important trick it missed. The PictureMate Deluxe Viewer Edition adds that missing color LCD, as well as faster printing and a few more tricks. And, indeed, we like it even better.”

“Marketed to the novice, the HP Photosmart R717 compact camera boasts some strong qualities, including helpful information on many of the menu screens and fairly speedy recycle times. Unfortunately, HP’s first foray into the 6-megapixel market just doesn’t generate top-notch picture quality.”

“In the realm of digital photography, it seems that behind all promising new technology lies a trade-off. Such is the case with Fuji’s Real Photo Technology, which is built into the new 6.3-megapixel FinePix F10 digital camera. Fuji claims that the algorithm included in the F10 lets you shoot in low-light situations, such as candlelight or night scenes, without a flash, yet avoid blurred photographs. Too good to be true, right? The answer is a qualified “yes.”“

“The Olympus Stylus 500 should definitely be on your shopping list of possible digital cameras if you’re looking for a tiny, easy-to-use 5 megapixel camera with a large LCD screen. The quality of the photos is excellent and the camera starts up very fast.

Digital Outback Photo have published an interesting article by Alain Briot on the subject of personal expression in photography:
“I am often asked if the color of a specific photograph is real or not. My answer is always the same. Yes, it is real. The reaction from the person asking the question is usually one of disbelief. They beg to differ. To them the color is not real. To me it is real. Who is right? The answer is we are both right because in the absence of the actual subject to compare the photograph to we are left with our personal memories of this subject and, as we all know, memories are by nature subjective.”
