PhotographyBLOG reviewed the Samsung HZ15W digital camera on 29 June 2009 . They said: "Though it is beginner friendly, Samsung's WB550 fortunately doesn't look cheap and cheerful and neither should it for £299. While, OK, it may not be the most svelte compact around, compensation comes in the form of its broader-than-average focal range which provides competition for Panasonic's similarly specified TZ series of big zoom, small form factor compacts. For my money I prefer the TZ's styling, if admittedly the Samsung is just ..." (06:45 GMT)

LetsGoDigital reviewed the Samsung HZ10W digital camera on 29 June 2009 . They said: "The Samsung WB500 is an interesting camera, and if you settle for an average image quality, excellent operation, fine color reproduction and a large optical zoom range, you will certainly have fun with this mega zoom camera. Yet, we simply expected more from Samsung, certainly because over the last few years, Samsung has been telling us how serious the company is, and that they are on an unscrupulous mission to ..."

PhotographyBay reviewed the Canon EOS 500D digital camera on 29 June 2009 . They said: "Overall, I highly recommend the Canon Rebel T1i to anyone looking for a feature-rich and very capable DSLR on an entry-level budget. There are plenty of great DSLRs on the market - some offer more features and some may be cheaper. However, this is the best Rebel yet. Image quality rivals cameras much more expensive than it and, if you buy something cheaper, you’re going to miss ..." (04:42 GMT)

Camera Labs reviewed the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX1 digital camera on 28 June 2009 . They said: "Sony’s Cyber-shot DSC-HX1 is a camera of two sides: on the one you have the traditional super-zoom aspects which, like several rivals, deliver a massive stabilised range with full manual control and a flexible screen, while on the other you have the CMOS sensor unleashing Sony’s innovation, going beyond the HD video and fast continuous shooting of the Canon SX1 IS, to offer some truly unique capabilities. It all comes together ..." (00:28 GMT)

Trusted Reviews reviewed the Casio Exilim EX-S12 digital camera on 27 June 2009 . They said: "The Casio Exilim EX-S12 is about as small and light as an ultra-compact can get without being too fiddly to use, but nonetheless packs in an impressive list of features and an easy-to-use interface. Overall performance is a little slow, but the excellent autofocus and good low-light capability, combined with some fun options make this an ideal camera for social and holiday snaps ..." (03:08 GMT)

PhotographyBLOG reviewed the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T90 digital camera on 26 June 2009 . They said: "The T90 feels fairly run of the mill as far as Sony's Cyber-shot range goes, its designers seemingly reluctant to depart from the template laid down by previous successful incarnations. Add the fact it's not actually that much of a bargain at £289 and you can get a larger touch screen on the identically priced T500 (though a couple of million pixels less), and do we have a compelling reason ..." (14:57 GMT)

DigitalCameraInfo reviewed the Casio Exilim EX-FC100 digital camera on 26 June 2009 . They said: "The Casio Exilim EX-FC100 is an utter speed demon of a camera, to the extent we're tempted to put chrome rims and a spoiler on it. The ability to capture still photographs at 30 frames per second, and slow-motion video at up to 1000 fps, in a far more affordable package than the previous Casio high speed models, is a powerful drawing card. However, there are major drawbacks to some of ..." (14:55 GMT)

Camera Labs reviewed the Olympus E-620 digital camera on 26 June 2009 . They said: "Olympus has done a great job with the E-620, delivering a feature-packed DSLR that’s great fun to use, yet has enough sophistication to keep demanding enthusiasts happy. The company has struck a great balance in the design, producing a camera that’s sufficiently small to never feel a burden, without compromising comfort, build or ergonomics. If you were attracted to the size of the E-420, but wanted the stabilisation of the ..." (03:10 GMT)

Enganged reviewed the Canon PowerShot D10 digital camera on 26 June 2009 . They said: "All told, Canon's PowerShot D10 is a stellar adventure camera. It's more than just a waterproof camera that's only marginally larger than a standard P&S, it's a rugged, lightweight shooter that should suit most everyone but the professionals in attendance. For you all, there's always the $3,000 5D Mark II housing. Priced at around $300 on the streets, we'd say that you'd be hard pressed to find a better bargain ..." (02:59 GMT)

Imaging Resource reviewed the Canon PowerShot SD990 IS digital camera on 26 June 2009 . They said: "Despite our quibbles about image quality from its 14.7-megapixel sensor, the Canon PowerShot SD990 IS is a good quality digital camera overall. Corners are soft at full wide angle, with chromatic aberration, but that's to be expected in cameras of this size. Image quality is better at middle and telephoto focal lengths. Barrel distortion is moderate at wide angle, though almost non-existent at telephoto. Color from the Canon PowerShot SD990 ..." (02:55 GMT)

DCResource reviewed the Olympus E-620 digital camera on 25 June 2009 . They said: "Overall, the E-620 is a camera that I enjoyed using. I found that I did have to tweak some settings to get the most out of it -- such as switching to AF sensor focusing in live view, and bumping up the exposure compensation by 1/3 stop -- but once that was done, I was pretty happy with how it performed. Some of the design-related concerns I raised cannot be ..." (03:02 GMT)

PhotographyBLOG reviewed the Pentax K-7 digital camera on 24 June 2009 . They said: "The Pentax K-7 is the best-ever Pentax DSLR camera and a real challenger to the relative giants of Canon and Nikon. Pentax have seemingly decided to include every "must-have" feature in one camera, with the K-7's specifications reading like a keen photographer's wish list. Thankfully most of those features are very well-realised, with only a few duds to spoil the party. Bearing an uncanny resemblance to the older K20D, the new ..." (10:53 GMT)

Imaging Resource reviewed the Canon PowerShot E1 digital camera on 24 June 2009 . They said: "As is typically the case with Canon's PowerShot line, the E1 performs quite well, with good color and exposure across a broad range of exposure conditions. Color is just about spot-on accurate, with only minor deviations in saturation and hue accuracy. Luminance noise is a little high at the middle ISOs and up, though detail remains quite strong at the lower ISO settings. The Canon E1 is fairly quick, with ..." (10:48 GMT)

GOLDEN, CO (June 24, 2009)…The manufacturer that builds digital cameras to go boldly where none have gone before has announced the PENTAX Optio W80. More adventure-proof than ever, this latest PENTAX digital camera is waterproof, dustproof, coldproof, and now shockproof enough to withstand impact from a fall of more than three feet (one meter). PENTAX first introduced dunkable digital cameras in 2003 to the delight of outdoor enthusiasts, travelers and families everywhere. Today, the PENTAX Optio W80's waterproof design withstands depths of up to 16 feet (5 meters) to protect from rain and spills (02:23 GMT)

Biofos reviewed the Olympus E-P1 digital camera on 23 June 2009 . They said: "The E-P1 as delivered in this incarnation is a statement of intent and not necessarily 'the finished product'. This is the starting point for Olympus' version and vision of Micro FourThirds. There is more to come and I'm sure that Olympus is listening to its customer base. I'm positive there will be an all black version and we know there is an EVF version scheduled. And who knows after that? ..." (08:32 GMT)

PhotographyBLOG reviewed the Nikon D5000 digital camera on 22 June 2009 . They said: "The Nikon D5000 is a successful crossbreed of the D90 and the D60. The new DSLR combines the imaging assembly, AF module, Live View and HD video recording capabilities of the former with the beginner-friendly infopanel-based operation of the latter, in a form factor that lies somewhere in the middle between the two. It also adds its own to the mix, in the form of an articulated rear LCD, though this ..." (00:24 GMT)

Steves Digicams reviewed the Kodak EasyShare Z915 digital camera on 22 June 2009 . They said: "This compact camera is easy to point and shoot with just your right hand, but for changing settings and navigating menus, you will want to use two. Unlike most digicams that use the 4-way controller to quickly change flash settings, drive mode, etc.; the Z915 has dedicated buttons on top of the camera which are easier to get to and allow the 4-way controller to serve other functions. When the ..." (00:20 GMT)

DigitalCameraReview reviewed the Canon EOS 500D digital camera on 19 June 2009 . They said: "The Canon Rebel T1i is both a great camera for the photographer looking to move up from compacts and advanced amateurs who want total control and excellent image quality. Most Canon Rebel generations only slightly evolve in terms of features – and mostly in subtle areas like resolution and more automatic control. The T1i has evolved much farther, making it the first Rebel with HD video. With a lot of ..." (00:51 GMT)

PhotographyBLOG reviewed the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX580 digital camera on 19 June 2009 . They said: "Though first impressions of the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX550 are of a camera as unassuming as its plain, silver grey faceplate (it's also available in a more sophisticated black), the more you play with it the more that exterior changes in your mind's eye from boring to exuding a quiet confidence. Yes, at its heart the FX550 is still 'merely' a point and shoot camera, yet Panasonic has packed some neat ..." (00:18 GMT)

Imaging Resource reviewed the Canon PowerShot SD880 IS digital camera on 18 June 2009 . They said: "In sum, the Canon SD880 IS is a lot of fun and looks good, too. The new, large controls on the back panel make it a pleasure to use and the new design easy to handle. The LCD was surprisingly usable in direct sunlight thanks to a new coating that reduces glare and increases contrast. And the wide angle zoom that now extends a full 4x into telephoto range will be ..." (01:21 GMT)

DigitalCameraInfo reviewed the Fujifilm FinePix F200EXR digital camera on 18 June 2009 . They said: "The Fujifilm FinePix F200EXR is a camera that offers a tantalizing hint at a possible future technology. The new EXR sensor has the potential to be very useful, as many current cameras keep adding megapixels to the detriment of image quality. The ability to increase noise performance or dynamic range,even at the expense of a lower resolution setting, is a fantastic one, but it's a shame it doesn't do more ..." (01:19 GMT)

ImagingResource reviewed the Olympus E-P1 digital camera on 17 June 2009 . They said: "I see a lot of cameras, and many of them are excellent and inspire my creativity. But the Olympus E-P1 captured my imagination when it was first announced in wood-block form. Olympus has made a tradition out of creating cameras that defy the trends, even with their E-series of modern digital SLRs, a camera system with a digital-specific lens design. But those cameras ended up looking the same as the ..." (03:26 GMT)

CENTER VALLEY, Pa. , June 16, 2009 – A new era of digital imaging begins today with the launch of the Olympus E-P1. The world's smallest 12.3-megapixel interchangeable lens system camera blends the high-quality still images of a digital single lens reflex (DSLR) with High Definition (HD) video, stereo Linear PCM audio recording and In-Camera Creativity within an ultra-portable body. The easy-to-use E-P1 expands your creative horizons and its diverse multimedia features offer something for everyone. Built for today's visual generation who lead active lives online and offline, the E-P1 will make you rethink what you can do with a camera. (01:33 GMT)

PhotographyBLOG reviewed the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T900 digital camera on 17 June 2009 . They said: "Near identical to its T500 and T90 predecessors, in terms of screen size and resolution respectively, there is little about the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T900 that feels fresh – at least for anyone with prior knowledge of the range. At the end of the day though it is 'just' another point and shoot compact, and one with as much emphasis on fashion as functionality. Although the touch screen is nice and large ..." (00:20 GMT)

DCResource reviewed the Nikon D5000 digital camera on 17 June 2009 . They said: "The Nikon D5000 is a new digital SLR that fits between the company's D60 and D90 models. The best way to describe the D5000 is like so: it takes the D90's guts and throws them into a D60-like body, adding a flip-down, swiveling LCD display. You get to keep most of the D90's top features: its sensor, AF and metering systems, live view, and HD movie recording capabilities ..." (00:13 GMT)

PhotographyBLOG reviewed the Kodak EasyShare Z980 digital camera on 15 June 2009 . They said: "The Kodak EasyShare Z980 super-zoom camera offers a lot on paper, but some serious flaws make it hard to recommend to either beginners or more experienced users alike. Image quality is at the heart of any camera, but unfortunately it's also at the top of the Z980's list of problems. Noise is evident even at the slowest ISO speed of 64, and it will become apparent even in prints at ISO ..." (07:39 GMT)

LetsGoDigital reviewed the Sony DSLR-A380 digital camera on 14 June 2009 . They said: "To be fair; the Sony DSLR-A380 is a digital SLR camera you'd expect to find in the current DSLR market. The aim was clearly to create a genuine Sony Look&Feel and a user-friendly graphical user interface. And in doing so, Sony has proven successful. The only thing is that it came at the cost of a few details; of which the main disadvantage is the battery capacity. From a technical ..." (00:22 GMT)

DigitalCameraReview reviewed the Canon PowerShot D10 digital camera on 14 June 2009 . They said: "There really isn't much to complain about with the D10. It's cheaper than the closest competitor from Olympus, it goes a little deeper than many of the other underwater cameras in its class, and it has the toughest wrist strap ever to grace a compact digital. I've been using Canons for more than 10 years and I've only been disappointed once. That's because Canon seems to know what consumers want ..." (00:20 GMT)

DPInterface reviewed the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX1 digital camera on 13 June 2009 . They said: "Sony has made the Cyber-shot HX1 an apparently hip-looking camera to own – a digital SLR like design, huge 20X zoom lens with a tilting LCD, 10 FPS burst mode at full resolution, “full HD” movie mode (yeah right) as well as the much discussed ‘Sweep Panorama’ feature. Sounds like the perfect super zoom camera, huh? The Cyber-shot HX1 indeed lives up to part of its hype – the camera handles ..." (00:29 GMT)

LetsGoDigital reviewed the Olympus E-620 digital camera on 13 June 2009 . They said: "There are cameras offering just a little extra. Something that makes you shoot in a different way, perhaps more consciously. And the Olympus E-620 is such a camera. Granted, the camera is not perfect in all its facets, but it does provide a stunningly wide array of options and clever functionalities. The overall impression of the camera is strong and convincing. Not only does the camera continuously seem to offer ..." (00:26 GMT)

DOVER , NJ , June 11, 2009 — Casio America, Inc. and its parent company, Casio Computer Co., Ltd., today announced the release of another groundbreaking digital camera, the EXILIM Hi-Zoom EX-H10. With a thin, compact body and an ultra-wide angle 24mm, 10x optical zoom lens, this new model can take up to 1,000 shots*1 on a single battery charge — making it the perfect travel companion. (01:36 GMT)

DPReview reviewed the Nikon D5000 digital camera on 12 June 2009 . They said: "Ultimately, whether the D5000 is the right camera for is likely to hinge on what you think of the flip-out/swivel LCD. In every other respect, the D5000 is exactly the solid product you'd expect of a camera put together from so many well-proven parts. It's a camera packed full of features, including a good set of RAW and JPEG processing tools and effects, and video has been implemented in such ..." (00:37 GMT)

PhotographyBLOG reviewed the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H20 digital camera on 12 June 2009 . They said: "The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H20 is much more than an incremental upgrade to last year's H10. With this camera, Sony has demonstrated that it is a company which listens to user feedback, as most of the issues we criticised the H10 for have been addressed. The engineers have redesigned the handgrip and the controls, added important features like custom white balance and HD video recording with zoom, and improved those aspects ..." (00:33 GMT)

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., June 10, 2009 — Eye-Fi Inc. today unveiled the Eye-Fi Pro, a new wireless SDHC memory card for digital cameras that allows professionals and photo enthusiasts to automatically upload images straight from their camera to their computer and the Web.

PhotographyBLOG reviewed the Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH1 digital camera on 10 June 2009 . They said: "The Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH1 is the best attempt yet at implementing video recording on a DSLR-like camera. The combination of high price, compulsory kit lens and so-so image quality in low-light conditions won't make it suitable for everyone though. If you're looking for high-definition video in a DSLR format, then the Panasonic GH1 is easily your best choice. The ability to continuously auto-focus during recording simply isn't offered by the likes ..." (00:32 GMT)

Steves Digicams reviewed the Casio Exilim EX-S12 digital camera on 09 June 2009 . They said: "This incredibly thin camera is heavy (for its size) and has a very sturdy feel to it. It can be a little hard to hold and operate one handed for someone with large hands, however, using the "pinch" technique allows for easy shooting, playback and navigation of the cameras menu system. To make the camera even easier to use, you can now change the selections in the quick menu (right ..." (04:34 GMT)

Imaging Resource reviewed the Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH1 digital camera on 09 June 2009 . They said: "Panasonic's approach to the interchangeable-lens digital camera, the G-series, includes no mirrors or pentaprisms to weigh the system down, making the goal of simple live view easier to realize. All that was missing from the Panasonic G1 was video capability, a problem solved in the GH1. However, adding that capability was not an easy job. Indeed, it required a new lens motor design to get an external, removable lens to focus ..." (04:31 GMT)

DigitalTrends reviewed the Sony DSLR-A330 digital camera on 09 June 2009 . They said: "We have no reservations suggesting first-time DSLR buyers pick up the Sony alpha DSLR-A330. It feels right and takes fine, accurate photos with little noise until you hit the outer limits (1600+). We did find the 3x zoom a bit limiting, and you should opt for a more potent lens to complement the kit glass. The Live View can’t be beat, but the burst mode is less than the competition, ..."

Steves Digicams reviewed the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W230 digital camera on 08 June 2009 . They said: "Image quality is only average for a 12-megapixel consumer model, and not quite what I would have expected from a Sony camera. While the camera does capture excellent exposure and pleasing colors, there is a good amount of softness to the photos, and I saw above average amount of noise and CA (aka purple fringing) throughout our outdoor photos. While most of this has to be seen when viewing an ..." (04:29 GMT)

Steves Digicams reviewed the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T90 digital camera on 08 June 2009 . They said: "Like most of Sony's models, the T90 is a very robust camera. From the time you flip the front cover down until you are able to take your first photo is between ranged between 1.7 - 2 seconds, mainly dependent on my reaction time. Shutter lag is less than 1/10 of a second when the camera is pre-focused, and only 1/10 of a second including autofocus. In single exposure mode, ..." (04:27 GMT)

Imaging Resource reviewed the Canon PowerShot D10 digital camera on 08 June 2009 . They said: "From a user's perspective, the Canon PowerShot D10 is a unique, solid underwater digital camera with above-average depth capability, and resistance to freezing weather and impact. The interface is well-designed and familiar to existing Canon users. It's also a kick to use in the water, and fun in any outdoor activity. Speed is good, about as fast as the average digital camera, and its video mode also works well above ..." (01:17 GMT)

PhotographyBLOG reviewed the Olympus E-620 digital camera on 08 June 2009 . They said: "The Olympus E-620 offers the most effective combination of features, ease-of-use and price of any Olympus DSLR camera to date, and it's also a real contender for the Best Mid-Range DSLR crown. The E620 is a compelling all-round package that will appeal to beginners and more experienced users alike, with a compact and lightweight yet fairly robust design that comes with a lot of features for an entry-level camera. Borrowing ..." (01:13 GMT)

DigitalCameraReview reviewed the Canon PowerShot SD970 IS digital camera on 08 June 2009 . They said: "Canon announced the SD970 IS and nine other compact digitals this past February, and if our review model is any indicator of the quality and performance of the others, Canon's got a batch of winners on their hands. The SD970 IS would seem to appeal to folks primarily interested in capturing images without too much effort on their part, as the lack of manual exposure controls leaves user inputs rather ..."

DPReview reviewed the Canon EOS 500D digital camera on 08 June 2009 . They said: "The EOS 500D is the latest incarnation of a highly successful line of cameras and although the 'entry level' market segment is these days much more crowded than it used to be, we would be very surprised if the new model would not sell like hotcakes. All the major manufacturers cram more and more new features into their 'budget' offerings but the EOS 500D is arguably the currently best specced camera ..." (01:04 GMT)

LetsGoDigital reviewed the Nikon D5000 digital camera on 07 June 2009 . They said: "In general, we are very pleased with the Nikon D5000. This kind of DSLR camera, aiming at a wide target group, shows that quality and an appealing suggested retail price can go hand in hand. The potential D90 buyer will possibly get confused trying to make a choice, however, if you compare specifications and if you know what your requirements are, you will make your choice of the right model ..."

They said: "The Canon IXUS 110 IS would be, to be fair, one to mark down as 'just another' point and shoot digital compact if it weren't for gimmicky features like its active rear display (flipping images on playback and advancing frames with a cursory flick of your wrist) plus the rather more useful inclusion of HDMI out port (if no actual lead in the box) and 1280x720 widescreen movies.

Photography Review reviewed the Olympus Stylus 1050 SW digital camera on 04 June 2009 . They said: "The Olympus Stylus 1050 SW is a handsome, practical camera that will serve hard-charging outdoor enthusiasts well. I happily took it with me on most of my trips to the ski resort this winter and have lots of great photos to show for it. It has a few faults, namely the too easy to open sliding lens cover, poor battery life in the cold and less than stellar image quality. ..." (00:39 GMT)

DCResource reviewed the Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH1 digital camera on 03 June 2009 . They said: "The Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH1 is a compact, interchangeable lens camera that does double-duty: it takes photos and high definition video. Unlike most "hybrid" devices, the GH1 pulls both off quite well, though it's not without its issues. The GH1 takes good quality photos, offers a second-to-none live view experience, and has a host of automatic and manual controls. On the video side, you can record at resolutions as high as ..."

ePhotozine reviewed the Pentax K-7 digital camera on 03 June 2009 . They said: "I'm so impressed with the K-7 that I think this is one of the most exciting cameras released this year. I think this could rival the Olympus E-620 which I'm tipping as one of the best DSLRs ever made. Of course, as always, I'm not entirely satisfied and I think there's room for improvement in the video area thanks to the release of the new Panasonic DMC-GH1 showing everyone how it's ..."

CameraLabs reviewed the Nikon D5000 digital camera on 02 June 2009 . They said: "There’s a lot to like about the Nikon D5000. It takes the great image quality of the D90, not to mention its HD movie mode and AF system, repackages it into a D60-styled body with beginner-friendly controls, and completes it with a fully-articulated screen on the back. It’s a compelling combination of features and pitched just right for beginners who’ll want guidance and a camera that grows with them. It’s not ..." (00:36 GMT)

DigitalCameraReview reviewed the Canon PowerShot SD1200 IS digital camera on 01 June 2009 . They said: "At a price of $230, this camera is definitely worth considering for all of the features it comes with. It is a reasonably priced point-and-shoot that gives the photographer plenty of options. With a 12x combined zoom, Smart Auto mode, 10.0 megapixels and a sleek, small body, this camera packs much of the versatility of a larger camera into a phone-sized unit.
