Four Thirds User have just reviewed the Sigma 105mm F2.8 EX DG Macro for Four Thirds lens.
“There is much to like about the Sigma 105mm Macro EX DG for Four Thirds. It feels solidly built and is positive in handling and results. It’s also a very versatile lens, useful for portraits and medium telephoto work, especially in low light, as well as macro work.”

PrinterInfo have reviewed the pigment based Canon PIXMA Pro 9500 A3+ professional printer.
“The Pro9500 scored very well, achieving a dmax of 2.36, the third highest dmax value we’ve seen so far. This value was achieved using Canon’s Photo Paper Plus, semi-gloss surface. The Pro9500 scored higher in this category than the Epson Stylus Photo R2400, which only achieved a dmax value of 2.26. The Pro9500’s dye-ink equivalent by Canon, the Pro9000, scored just below the Epson, at 2.25.”

CNET have reviewed the Nikon Coolpix S200 digital camera, which offers 7.1 megapixels, 3x zoom lens (38-114mm), electronic Vibration Reduction to help combat camera shake, ISO 1000 and a 2.5 inch LCD screen.
“The Nikon Coolpix S200 suffers from a bad case of style over substance. Its ultraslim, attractive metal body looks great sliding into your pocket. When you slide it out of your pocket and start shooting, though, its image-quality issues and slow low-light performance severely tarnish the pretty camera’s shine.”

DigitalCameraInfo have reviewed the Canon PowerShot SD750 digital camera (also known as the IXUS 75) which has a metallic finish, 3x zoom lens and 3 inch LCD screen.
“The Canon PowerShot SD750 distinguishes itself mainly with its LCD screen size. At 3 inches, there still aren’t too many digital cameras that can rival that. However, its other specs are all has-beens: 7 megapixels, 3x optical zoom, Automatic modes, and compact form. The SD750 costs a whopping $349, which seems steep compared to similar models.”

DCResource have reviewed the Nikon Coolpix L12, a 7.1 megapixel digital camera with a 3x optical zoom lens (35-105mm), Vibration Reduction to combat camera shake, Face-priority AF, D-Lighting and Red-Eye Fix, and a 2.5 inch LCD monitor.
“The Nikon Coolpix L12 is one of a very select group of entry-level cameras to offer image stabilization for under $200. Its closest competitor is probably the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LS75 which, up until recently, I didn’t even think they sold in the U.S. The Coolpix L12 is a decent camera if you’re doing mostly outdoor, bright light photography. If you’ll be doing a lot of low light shooting, or want to minimize noise, then I’d steer clear of the Coolpix L12.”

TrustedReviews have reviewed the new Kodak Z712, which is positioned as an alternative to a DSLR, offering a 12x zoom lens (36-432 mm) and 7.1 megapixels.
“A big selling point of the Z712 is of course its optical image stabilisation system, which uses motion sensors and a moving element within the lens to compensate for camera shake at low shutter speeds. I found that it produced shake-free images at maximum zoom reliably at 1/40th of a second, and about half the time at 1/30th, which is pretty good. It’s about three stops below the recommended safe hand-held shooting speed for a 400mm lens.”

Megapixel.net have reviewed the weatherproof Olympus mju 780 compact digital camera, which features a 7.1 megapixel sensor, metal body in silver or black, and 5x optical zoom with mechanical image stabiliser.
“The Olympus Stylus 780 is, to put it simply, a good camera. It delivers an excellent image quality and its 5X optical zoom allows more flexibility when framing shots than most of its competitors. The value of the zoom is moreover enhanced by the CCD stabilization system, albeit that the (audible) noise that the system produces is at first a bit surprising. This, combined with the capability of capturing good images at 400 ISO outdoors, and doing so with an ultra compact camera that is weather and dust proof, makes the Stylus 780 very attractive.”

DCResource have reviewed the Samsung L74 Wide digital camera, which features a 3.0 inch touch screen LCD, 7 megapixels, 3.6x optical zoom and 28mm wide-angle lens.
“The L74 Wide is another Samsung camera that’s really innovative, but fails to deliver competitive image quality. If Samsung engineers spent a little less time with gimmicks and more time on image quality, then they’d really have something. The L74 Wide isn’t a bad camera by any means, it’s just not a great one. If you’re sticking to small prints it’s worth a look, but for larger prints or 100% onscreen viewing you may want to consider anything else.”

DigitalCameraInfo have reviewed the Olympus FE-250 digicam, which offers 8 megapixels, 3x optical zoom (35-105mm), and a large 6.4cm LCD screen.
“Noticeably absent from the FE-250 are white balance presets. The camera instead relies on its mediocre Auto White Balance setting, so what you see is what you get, odd colors and all. The FE-250 will suffice for the consumer looking for a point-and-shoot that looks slick and is easy to use. However, users seeking manual control, color accuracy, handling confidence, or a more durable design should consider another camera. “

ePhotoZine have reviewed the Kodak Easyshare G600 printer dock.
“The added benefit of the lamination process helping protect from fingerprints and splashes is excellent. The printer is simple to use and small for carrying around, but is not very light. Paper costs from £29.99 for 100 sheets which is a fraction cheaper than other dye sublimation packs but not as cheap as waiting to go to a processing outlet.”

Steves Digicams have reviewed the Olympus E-510 DSLR camera, which features a built-in image stabiliser in the camera body. The E510 also has a new image processing engine that offers excellent noise performance and 3fps with a seven image RAW buffer in burst mode.
“The E-510’s 10-Megapixel imager offers plenty of resolution for producing large prints and high-quality cropped images. The E-510’s results were well-exposed, and color reproduction was realistic. The E-510’s image quality was very good at ISO 100 and 200 and at higher ISO’s, some noise becomes evident.”
