DIWA member and Slovenian website e-fotografija have reviewed the Pentax K10D, which offers 10.2 megapixels, shake-reduction, dust removal system, 22-bit colour, three new shooting modes, 2.5 inch LCD screen and 11 point auto-focusing.
“For me personally, the K10D is, technically speaking, a notch above other hobbyist cameras. Its direct competition, the Nikon D80 and the Canon EOS 30D, and to some extent the Sony Alpha, all have their unique advantages. However, if you’re currently buying a camera and you’re not interested in entry level cameras (Canon 400D, Olympus E-400, Nikon D40, Pentax K100D), then the Pentax K10D should be on your shortlist. Weather sealing, good ergonomics, direct access to all main functions via buttons, image stabilisation in the body, (limited) sensor cleaning and almost infinite customisation options are an immense advantage over its competition.”

We’ve just entered the year 2007 and Sony has unveiled it’s latest cutting edge product…a CompactFlash card. That’s not actually strictly true, as today’s announcement is only about Sony’s intention to enter the Compact Flash market - there aren’t any real products to show yet. Hoping to cash in on Sony A100 owners, the first Sony CompactFlash memory cards will apparently be available later this Spring with up to 4GB of storage capacity and 66x and 133x transfer speeds.

Imaging Resource have published a review of the new 10 megapixel Canon PowerShot SD900 (also known as the Canon Digital IXUS 900 Ti).
“Like previous ELPHs, it’s comfortable not only to carry but to shoot with, easily managed with just your right hand. The Canon SD900’s new Mode dial design has a sculpted face that makes it easy to switch modes with just your thumb. And the Touch control dial can be set so it detects light pressure on any of its control points. The Display button has been moved up, just under the Mode dial, which has the benefit of leaving the Menu button all by itself under the Touch control dial, where you won’t confuse it with anything else.”

Steves Digicams have reviewed the wide-angle, 5x zoom Olympus FE-200 digital camera, a 6 megapixel model with a 28-140mm lens.
“While the Olympus FE-200 has the ability to capture nice photos, includes several user-friendly exposure modes, and offers a 5x optical zoom with a nice wide field of view, shooting performance is comparable to the speed of a snail at full sprint, which really turned us off.”

ePhotoZine have reviewed the new Canon G7, which features a 10 megapixel, 1/1.8 inch sensor, DIGIC III image processor, Face Detection, 35-210mm lens and optical image stabilization system.
“The ISO80 picture is very clean, with smooth tones and excellent sharpness. There’s some, very faint, signs of noise in the ISO100 picture, but nothing of real concern. It starts to appear more in the shadow areas of ISO200 pictures but is only quite noticeable in ISO400 mode. ISO800 is still sharp while being quite noisy, but when it gets to ISO1600, the noise level increasing significantly and the colours shifts as well.”
