Steves Digicams have reviewed the 7.1 megapixel Canon PowerShot A550, which has a 2 inch LCD screen, and 4x zoom lens.
“The A550 is quite the performer, as long as you’re not using the flash. From power up to first image was captured measured just 1.5 seconds, and waking the camera from sleep mode to image capture took less than a second. Shutter lag, the delay between depressing the shutter button and capturing an image, was less than 1/10 of a second when pre-focused, and only 2/10 of a second including autofocus. “

Photo-i have started an interactive review of the Epson Stylus Photo 1400 A3+ six-colour photo printer.
“After my recent batch of review printers, it is nice to take delivery of a box that doesn’t require two people to lift it. This box can easily fit it in the boot of most cars, which is handy for next time you pop into your computer superstore. As with most printers, there isn’t a USB cable included - so make sure you pick one up at the same time. Nor have Epson included a starter pack of media. This is such a shortsighted, penny saving mistake. Surely once people see how much better a photo looks on Epson’s own brand media, they won’t settle for anything less.”

Imaging Resource have just reviewed the 12.4 megapixel Nikon D2xs DSLR camera.
“Though the news has been out on the original Nikon D2X since mid-September of 2004, I should mention a few items that stood out. By far the biggest deal with the D2Xs is its dual-resolution nature. It can be used as either a high resolution 12.21 megapixel SLR capable of around 20 JPEG shots at five frames per second, or change to a 6.87 megapixel speed demon that can deliver up to 34 JPEGs at eight frames per second. That’s a far more versatile camera than Nikon has ever offered.”

Steves Digicams have reviewed the entry-level Canon PowerShot A460 camera, which offers a 2 inch LCD screen and 4x zoom lens.
“Like the A430, the A460’s image quality results were excellent, especially for such an affordably priced camera. In fact it sometimes rivals that of more expensive cameras with similar resolution.”
