DPReview have published their review of the 7 megapixel Sony Cybershot DSC-V3.
“Image quality wise it’s perhaps a fraction behind the Canon PowerShot G6, only because the G6 has a better lens and a more sophisticated sharpening algorithm. The DSC-V3 can leave some relatively strong halo sharpening artifacts on certain types of images, dropping the sharpening down a level can help but you may then lose some detail.”

DPReview have today posted their review of the new 7 megapixel Canon PowerShot G6.
“Image quality was as expected very good, noise levels were low and thankfully Canon either don’t use noise reduction or it’s so subtle as not to adversely affect the image (here at dpreview we aren’t big fans of strong in-camera noise reduction). Another interesting point is the conservative approach Canon has taken in labeling its ISO sensitivity, in our tests the G6 proved to have a sensitivity range which was more like ISO 100 - 640 than the labeled ISO 50 - 400, that makes its low noise performance even better.”

DPReview have just posted their review of the 7 megapixel Casio EXILIM Pro EX-P700.
“Image quality was very good, although to our eye it fell just short of being good enough to influence the overall camera rating to a ‘Highly Recommended’ (but it really wasn’t that far off). Casio need to cool off on image processing too, their noise reduction was just there all the time and you can see it (not good). In use it’s a fairly nice camera to shoot with, I never really found myself waiting for it or wanting it to do more, and the final outcome was nearly always what I wanted.”

DPReview have published their review of the 7 megapixel Olympus C-70 Zoom (called the Olympus C-7000 Zoom in the USA).
“The C-7000 is so unlike C-xxxx cameras of old it’s almost worth Olympus using a new notation to distinguish it. It’s considerably smaller and lighter, much thinner and yet no lighter on features. Despite its compact proportions it’s probably the most comfortable of the compact seven megapixel digital cameras thanks to its stubby rubber front grip.”

DPReview has today reviewed the 7 megapixel Pentax Optio750Z.
“It’s odd but there’s something strangely appealing about the 750Z’s retro styling, the faux leather front and chrome piping, it’s almost comforting. Don’t be fooled though this is one seriously modern camera with a huge range of functionality, both prosumer and technology based. Indeed there isn’t a huge amount the 750Z can’t do, it’s fully loaded, and that can sometimes make it a bit confusing.”

Globetechnology have published a review of the new Panasonic DMC-FZ20 digital camera, which has a 12x optical zoom lens from Leica.
“In the end, the Lumix FZ-20 is still a fantastic camera. The picture quality is stunning for a five megapixel model, and the optical image stabilization quickly becomes indispensable. The move towards more manual control will certainly impress the more pro-oriented shutterbugs, and even though it’s no replacement for a digital SLR model, it’s certainly a great backup model. Now if only they could get the price down…”

DCResource have just reviewed the new slimline 5 megapixel Casio EXILIM Card EX-Z55 digital camera.
“Overall, the Casio Exilim EX-Z55 is a good “go-anywhere” point-and-shoot camera that holds up well against the likes of the Canon PowerShot SD300, Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX7, and the Sony DSC-T1. While I haven’t tested it yet, the Pentax Optio S5i shares the lens and many of the internals of the Z55. The camera does its best work outdoors, where it takes very nice photos, save for some blurriness around the edges of the frame. Indoors you’ll be frustrated with an LCD that only “gains up” in a few of the scene modes (most of which aren’t appropriate for indoor flash shots), poor low light focusing, redeye, and a fairly weak flash. But for a compact camera for vacation photos the Z55 fits the bill.”

CNET have posted their review of the Sigma SD10 digital SLR.
“Sigma’s SD10 is the follow-up to the company’s flawed but interesting SD9 digital SLR, which made exceptionally sharp photos in good light. The SD10 incorporates an upgraded Foveon X3 sensor, a three-layered imager with 3.4 million pixels and 10.3 million photodetectors. The new sensor partially overcomes the SD9’s biggest weakness, which was its lack of high ISO sensitivities for low-light photography. But Sigma failed to correct most of the SD9’s design and performance flaws, and the SD10 remains substantially less versatile and well rounded than competing dSLRs.”

Intelligent Mobile Solutions Limited Press Release 01/12/04
IMS LAUNCHES DSLRCLEAN - A REVOLUTIONARY NO-LIQUID WAY TO CLEAN DIGITAL SLR SENSORS.
Intelligent Mobile Solutions Limited (IMS) has launched a groundbreaking new product DSLRClean (TM) - a specially created cleaning stick for removing dust from digital SLR camera sensors.
The DSLRClean sticks use a unique micro-pore swab to create a mini vacuum effect, gently lifting dust from both CCD and CMOS type sensors.
The DSLRClean sticks are an effective and safe solution for sensor cleaning at less than half the cost of other available products.
“Dust has always been an issue with any photographic system, whether on lenses or slide negatives or in the camera chamber,” said IMS managing director Andrew Stagg.
“But the need for an effective, low cost solution has sharply increased with the advent of the digital SLR.
“With over a million digital SLRs in circulation in the UK alone, sensor dust is a major issue for photographic professionals and amateurs alike.”
