Canon PIXMA iP5000 PrinterPhoto-i have posted a review of the new Canon PIXMA iP5000 printer, which features the industry’s first 1 picoliter droplets.

“Monochrome printing is well under control but not 100% neutral, there is a slight overall warmth to the image, rather like the Agfa Portraiture photographic paper. I do not find this objectionable, but the purist may prefer to print 100% neutral grey tones. I tried the Greyscale setting from the printer settings and this had little if any effect.”

Canon EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USMLuminous Landscape have cast their critical eye over the new Canon EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM lens, suitable for the Canon EOS 300D and 20D cameras.

“This lens is small. light and solidly built. Sometimes Canon’s non-L series lenses can feel a bit cheap, but not this one. Focus is as fast as ever due to the USM motor, and manually focusing, if you’re so inclined, is similarly smooth. The lens is in the current Canon idiom, and there is little to fault about it with regard to either fit or finish.

The lens features a Super UD glass element as well as three aspherical elements The filter size is 77mm, though care will need to be taken with filters at the widest focal length settings.”

Canon PowerShot SD200 Digital ELPHDCResource have just reviewed the 3 megapixel Canon PowerShot SD200 Digital ELPH (also known as the IXUS 30).

“Good image quality and user-friendly design has become synonymous with the ELPH name, and is the reason why the line is so popular with a wide range of consumers. Extending the brand name’s excellent reputation in the film world, members of the digital ELPH series have always impressed me with their quality and versatility. The SD200 is the 3-megapixel “little brother” to the 4-megapixel Canon SD300 that we reviewed before it. The slimmer design of these two models relative to that of earlier digital ELPHs is a definite plus, and their range of features gives them an edge over many other subcompact point-and-shoot digicams in the marketplace.”

Nikon Coolpix 8800Pocket-Lint have just posted their review of the new 8 megapixel Nikon Coolpix 8800.

“Overall the 8800 has a lot more plus points than minuses. The huge zoom and additional lenses makes it ideal for the serious photographer who still wants the easy of a more compact frame. The functions are generally easy to use although some diligence and instruction scrutiny will be needed to get all the finer nuisances down on pat. The sub £650 price tag will also go a long way towards to securing it as one of the most attractive camera this Christmas, even if it won’t quite fit in your stocking.”

Konica Minolta Dynax 7DThe Slovenian website e-fotografija have posted a review in English of the Konica Minolta 7D DSLR.

So far I can only tell good things about the AS system, at least until it is more thoroughly tested and more user’s opinions are created. It really is quite amazing. Konica Minolta has once again proved with this AS system that they are ambitious and can be counted on. This is one of the most obvious features that will bring new customers, especially those Minolta users who have been waiting for so long. A wider choice of cameras is good for everybody. And just a reminder for newcomers to the DSLR world: you are buying a system, not only a body as in a compact class digicams.

FujiFilm FinePix S5100DigitalCameraInfo have just reviewed the 4 megapixel FujiFilm FinePix S5100 digital compact camera.

“Loyal Fujifilm consumers would probably find this camera to be simple to use. However, I test and review cameras of all brands, and when compared to other digital cameras, the FinePix S5100 rates low for ease of use. Setup is difficult to learn and tedious to execute. I will admit that, once I had read the manual and knew where to put my fingers, the camera was much easier to use, but still not as easy as a point-and-shoot should be. Shooting in automatic mode was by far the easiest and most simplified means available on the camera. Changing manual settings such as the aperture or exposure became frustrating when I had to hold buttons down while scrolling with the four-way controller. Some buttons are smaller than they should be, and some buttons seem illogically placed.”

Pentax Optio750ZDCResource have posted their review of the 7 megapixel Pentax Optio750Z.

“While it’s not perfect, I do like the Pentax Optio 750Z quite a bit, and it earns my recommendation. It has a stylish, fairly-compact body with a handy flip-out LCD display. Build quality is very good for the most part, save for the cover over the battery/memory card compartment. Despite its size, the Optio packs a 5X zoom lens—great for telephoto lovers who don’t want to carry around a bulky ultra zoom camera. Photo quality is very good, though a bit noisier than the other 7MP cameras I’ve tested. Images were well-exposed, colorful, and very sharp, all with a minimum of purple fringing. You may encounter some blurry corners or vignetting in flash shots while using the 750Z.”

FujiFilm FinePix E550 ZoomCNET have just posted their review of the 6 megapixel Fuji FinePix E550.

“What are the most important qualities in a compact digital camera? If your answer is a high pixel count, a large LCD screen, and lightning-fast response, you’re a good candidate for the Fujifilm FinePix E550. With its 6-megapixel sensor; big, 2-inch display; and 4X optical zoom, the E550 comes well equipped for both novices and intermediate users. Photo buffs will enjoy the relatively low-noise ISO 800 images and the generous assortment of manual settings. And just about anyone will be impressed by its fast performance. Best of all, the E550 serves up this unusual mix of features and capabilities for a competitive price.”

Konica Minolta DiMAGE X50CNET have reviewed the Konica Minolta DiMAGE X50, a new compact and stylish 5.0 megapixel camera which features a large 2.0-inch LCD screen, enhanced speed and other design improvements.

“While the resulting movie clips aren’t anything to write home about, the X50 lets you edit the footage in-camera and can turn a single frame into a JPEG still image. You can also crop stills in-camera or resize them for e-mailing. A paste-a-picture-within-a-picture feature is fun, and slide shows can be spiffed up with dissolve effects. There’s even an underwater housing for the X50 that’s good down to 130 feet.”

“The camera is very compact, stylish and pocketable due to the internal lens. The screen updates smoothly and is clear. The camera is easy to use, the menu systems being easy to use. The 3x optical zoom is good. Camera handling, button layout and design are okay, the camera could do with some more buttons. The camera speed is good in use and has a quick zoom, shot to shot time is also quick, and the camera has an especially quick switch on time. Unfortunately there is no custom white balance, or manual ISO settings.”

FujiFilm FinePix E550 ZoomAnandTech have just posted their review of the 6 megapixel Fuji FinePix E550.

“In our review, we found the FinePix E550 to be a great performer. The camera proved itself to be fast and responsive in many of our tests. For example, start up, shot to shot, and shutter lag times were very speedy. The E550 is also capable of producing some well-exposed and detailed images. Furthermore, in RAW mode, we noticed a considerable increase in dynamic range (both in highlight and shadow detail). The camera produces clean low noise images (even in long exposures) consistently. Considering the low price tag on the E550, we were very impressed with its overall performance.”

Kodak DCS Pro SLR/nJon Canfield has posted a brief review on Fred Miranda’s website of the recently announced DSLR from Kodak, the 14 megapixel DCS Pro SLR/n.

“After the first day it is clear that the SLR/n is a much more interesting product than the 14n. We can hardly wait to use the SLR/c as we then can shoot with the same lenses on the 1Ds and the SLR/c. We consider the SLR/n a comeback of Kodak as a major player in the pro DSLR market.”

“A wide repertoire of still image and video file formats is catered for by the P-2000, including JPEG, MPEG1, 2 and 4, MJPEG and also MP3 digital music files. Support for ordinary TIFF files is a surprising omission, only TIFF file thumbnails produced by Epson’s new F-3200 scanner can be viewed. Microsoft AVI and Quicktime MOV formats are supported but it doesn’t look like Real Player format files are. Movie playback is very good, though there is some occasional jerkiness.”

Pentax Optio S5iFotodiip have just reviewed the 5 megapixel Pentax Optio S5i.

“In my humble opinion advantage of 5 MP-s over 4 is not sufficient enough to tolerate slow write times. I don’t need 4 frames per second shooting speeds but I do want decent frame to frame speed. When I have to lower resolution and/or quality setting then is there really a point in putting more into the camera in the first place? Maybe I’m barking up the wrong tree and I should get a different camera because it’s not possible to get this size/speed combination at this point of time at all…”
