Have you ever wanted to ask a photography manufacturer a specific question, or suggest something to them? Now’s your chance, as the UK website Photo-i has launched a new feature called Eye to Eye:
“In keeping with the “interactive review” theme, I am launching a regular new feature to photo-i ? i2i. Eye to Eye will give you a chance to air your views, make suggestions and ask questions to the various manufacturers. I will be visiting companies and putting the questions to them directly, hopefully this will avoid your own phone call after phone call with the usual “press button 1 for sales, button 2 for technical support” etc. So as not to put anyone on the spot and also ensure you get the right answer, the list of questions will be emailed prior to any arranged visit.”
The first visit is to Canon on 25th November, so head over to Photo-i now to submit your questions.

Digital Photography Blog have published their review of the new 7 megapixel Canon PowerShot S70.
“Initial contact with this camera is impressive. Its stylish black exterior and traditional camera design will appeal to many. It feels nice and solid, even weighted, and robust enough to handle a few bumps during its lifetime.
Turning the S70 on and off is a simple matter of a sliding cover over the lens, which also serves to protect the glass. As with all Canon cameras I?ve used, the buttons and menus are very simple to use, with anyone being able to pick this camera up and operate it confidently after a matter of minutes.”

With only 6 weeks to go until Christmas, it’s time to start thinking about what you are going to buy for the photographer in your life, even if that’s you! I’ve looked back over all the products that I have reviewed during 2004 and picked my favourites, from digital cameras to printers and books. I’ve also suggested some other products that may be worth looking at (which I haven’t reviewed), and there are handy links to online shops so that you don’t even have to venture out and brave the hordes of shoppers!
So, somewhat in advance, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Steves Digicams have just reviewed the new Canon PIXMA iP8500, which is is Canon’s first ChromaPLUS eight-color ink A4 format photo printer.
”...if you are one of those people (like me) that just have to have the best then this printer is for you. The 8-color ink system yields awesome looking prints and the super-wide print head makes this the fastest letter-size inkjet photo printer on the market. Just remember that this printer uses 8 ink tanks and these ink tanks and the cost of special photo paper can certainly add up in the long run. If you only print photos every now and then it’s probably a lot more cost effective to have your prints made at WalMart. However - if you’re like me, to heck with it!”

Steves Digicams have just reviewed the six colour, 4800 x 1200 dpi Canon PIXMA iP6000D printer, which uses FINE (Full-photolithography Inkjet Nozzle Engineering) technology with 2-picolitre Micro-Nozzles and has card slots for all popular brands of memory card.
“The big attraction of the iP6000D is its computer-free printing capabilities. Direct printing from most popular flash memory cards is quick and easy with preview, adjustment and cropping on the big 2.5-inch color monitor. It’s also PictBridge compatible, most current 2004 digicams can be plugged into the front USB port for direct printing from the camera. And finally, there’s an IrDA (infrared) receiver port on the front that allows compatible cellphones to wirelessly transmit JPEG images for printing.”

Photoxels have posted the first review that I have seen of the new entry-level Olympus C-370 Zoom (this camera is known as the Olympus D-535 Zoom in the USA).

DCResource have published their review of the 7 megapixel Olympus C-70 Zoom (called the Olympus C-7000 Zoom in the USA).
“I very much enjoyed using the Olympus C-7000 Zoom, and it gets my recommendation. Photo quality was very good, though I’d definitely crank the sharpness and especially the saturation up a notch or two. The C-7000Z has a 5X zoom lens packed into a midsized body, though the lens starts at 38 mm, making it a bad choice for wide-angle lovers. Camera performance is excellent, with the exception of saving or viewing RAW and TIFF files. The C-7000 is nicely-designed for the most part, with the exception of the clumsy door over the memory card / battery compartment.”

LetsGoDigital have published their review of the new 7 megapixel Sony Cybershot DSC-V3.
“Not one digital camera is perfect, neither is the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-V3. However, in our opinion, Sony had developed an outstanding camera with an excellent photo quality. The innovative technique on board of the DSC-V3 stands on a high level and is not found in competing models. All in all we may conclude that the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-V3 is truly recommendable to those who have high expectations concerning photo quality, colour rendition and the versatile applications.”

DigiCamReview.co.uk have published a review of the 3 megapixel FujiFilm FinePix A607.
“The design is okay, the size is okay, the camera is quite compact, stylish and pocketable. The small 1.5” screen updates smoothly but is a very low resolution and overly saturated and yellowly. The camera is very easy to use, the menu systems being easy to use, if a bit basic in the amount of options and features available. The 3x optical zoom lens seems to be very good. Camera handling, and button layout are good. The camera speed is good in use and has a quick zoom, shot to shot time is average, and the camera has an average switch on time. My other complaints are that it takes XD cards (expensive), there is no custom white balance, and the camera seems to scratch easily.”

About.com has published a good guide to getting out and about during the winter months with your camera.
“The hours of daylight are shorter in winter, but this doesn’t really alter the possibilities for most types of photography. For working outdoors, the lower height of the sun in the sky means that you get more interesting lighting - assuming the sun is visible. Often in summer the light across the middle of the day is uninteresting as the sun is too close to overhead, while in winter you can work through the day. Winter tends to give more variable weather too, sometimes creating additional interest.”
