Imaging Resource reviewed the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FS15 digital camera on 30 July 2009 . They said: "Trim and compact, the Panasonic FS15 offers intelligent automatic shooting and a good-quality, 5x Leica lens to balance its 12-megapixel sensor. Overall image quality is good, with low distortion from the lens at wide angle, and only moderate chromatic aberration at both zoom settings. The Panasonic FS15's color is less saturated than what many consumers may prefer, but color performance is actually a little more true to life. Exposure is ..." (03:19 GMT)

DPReview reviewed the Sony DSLR-A900 digital camera on 30 July 2009 . They said: "The D3000 make look slightly more like the D5000 but its handling is very D60. In common with every Nikon DSLR we can think of, it falls well into your hand and immediately puts the key controls (shutter button, exposure compensation and control dial), directly under your fingers and thumb for quick, comfortable operation ..." (03:15 GMT)

DPReview reviewed the Nikon D300s digital camera on 30 July 2009 . They said: "We were full of praise how the D300 felt when you picked it up and started using it, and not surprisingly the D300S is to all intents and purposes exactly the same. The camera fits solidly in your hand, although the reduced acreage of the grip on the back makes it feel just slightly less secure than the D300. Key shooting controls are all logically placed and easy to use, ..." (03:14 GMT)

Successor to the multiple award winning DMC-FZ28, Panasonic is pleased to introduce the Lumix DMC-FZ35 digital still camera, featuring an AVCHD Lite high-definition movie recording capability combined with powerful 27mm wide angle 18x optical zoom high quality LEICA DC VARIO-ELMARIT lens . Joining Panasonic's highly regarded FZ series of cameras that pack a high-powered zoom and a host of creative options including manual operation into a compact body, the FZ38 also boasts an upgraded O.I.S.(Optical Image Stabiliser) the newly named POWER O.I.S. and ultra high-speed AF together with other enhanced features that boost user fun and convenience.

PhotographyBLOG reviewed the Sony DSLR-A380 digital camera on 29 July 2009 . They said: "OK, so while a resolution of 14.2 million effective pixels for a consumer level DSLR aiming for a mass-market family audience looks a bit like overkill, that level of spec in part justifies the Sony A380's £720 price tag. And set against the asking prices for the Canon EOS 500D and Nikon D5000 mentioned at the outset it compares pretty favourably. Where Sony's argument falls down perhaps is that it doesn't ..."

DPReview reviewed the Olympus E-P1 digital camera on 29 July 2009 . They said: "The E-P1 is one of those rare products in this mass-produced age that can provoke an emotional response in even the most jaded shooter, which is a tribute to the Olympus design team as much as a reflection of any pent-up desire for a new category to bridge the yawning gap between compact cameras and entry-level DSLRs. It's easy to come up with a list of reasons not to buy one; ..." (01:15 GMT)

Trusted Reviews reviewed the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ35 digital camera on 28 July 2009 . They said: "My verdict on the FZ38 is pretty much the same as for its predecessor. If you've already got an FZ28 it's probably not enough of an improvement to justify an upgrade. However for anyone else looking for a new super-zoom camera they really don't come much better than this. Build quality, handling, features, performance, image quality and versatility are superior to any of its immediate rivals, and the excellent video ..." (06:07 GMT)

NeoCamera reviewed the Pentax K-7 digital camera on 28 July 2009 . They said: "The Pentax K-7 is a DSLR with an incredible feature-set, no other camera does everything this one does. Its wealth of features, many of them unique or uncommon, helps users take better pictures. The combination of automatic horizon correction, 100% viewfinder and built-in stabilization gives relief to the photographer, letting him compose and frame with greater ease. Image quality is very good with generally low noise and high details. Color accuracy ..." (02:41 GMT)

Valhalla, NY, July 22, 2009 – FUJIFILM U.S.A., Inc. today unveiled the FinePix S200EXR digital camera, its most advanced SLR-styled camera to date. Combining the pin-sharp 14.3x Fujinon optical zoom lens (30.5mm-436mm equivalent) so popular in its predecessor, the award-winning FinePix S100FS, with Fujifilm's latest 12-MegaPixel Super CCD EXR sensor, the FinePix S200EXR is aimed at top-end camera enthusiasts looking for excellent picture quality without the hassle, bulk and expense of a D-SLR system. Compact, lightweight ‘bridge' cameras offering long zoom and high image quality have proved a big hit with those looking for an alternative to bulky interchangeable lens systems. Users of the FinePix S200EXR will find their results equal or superior to D-SLRs, principally due to the revolutionary design of Fujifilm's EXR CCD sensor technology. (06:41 GMT)

ePhotozine reviewed the Olympus E-450 digital camera on 24 July 2009 . They said: "Olympus keep releasing cameras that are competing really well with Canon and Nikon. The menus are easy to use and they sport features that comparable cameras from the other manufacturers don't have. In this case it's the Art Filters and exposure compensation giving that extra bit of freedom to expand your creativity. I like some of the features that Olympus have put on the E-450 and I think it could do ..." (00:42 GMT)

DCResource reviewed the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W290 digital camera on 24 July 2009 . They said: "So far I've described a lot of nice features, but none of that matters if the camera doesn't take good quality photos. Unfortunately, photo quality is the W290's weak spot. On the positive side, exposure and color were good in most situations, save for some highlight clipping (common on compact cameras) and difficulty with my studio lamps (due to the lack of manual white balance). The not-so-good news is that ..." (00:39 GMT)

Luminous Landscape reviewed the Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH1 digital camera on 23 July 2009 . They said: "It's difficult and more than likely foolhardy to write a bottom line comment on a product that has only been available for a short while, and even then is still not in full distribution. My few weeks with the GH1 though, shooting stills as well as video, has given me an appreciation for what Panasonic has accomplished. At some $1,500 with its provided lens the GH1 offers tremendous value both as ..." (00:30 GMT)

Imaging Resource reviewed the Canon PowerShot SD960 IS digital camera on 23 July 2009 . They said: "With a wide-angle screen and a significantly simplified set of controls, the Canon 960 IS takes slim pocketability to new levels. It's not that the Canon 960 is so slim front to back, but the widescreen LCD makes the camera so much shorter than most of the competition. The Canon PowerShot SD960 is a good performer in a lot of categories. Image quality is pretty good at wide-angle and telephoto, ..." (00:28 GMT)

CENTER VALLEY, Pa., July 22, 2009 – Today Olympus is proud to announce the tantalizingly stylish STYLUS-7010 that is thin in body but bursting with features. An extremely slim body houses an amazing wide-angle 7x optical zoom, making this camera one of the most powerful Stylus cameras ever. Sitting in the upper levels at your favorite concert? Your friends will never know the truth when they see the images you shot with the STYLUS-7010! (06:23 GMT)

CENTER VALLEY, Pa., July 22, 2009 – Whether you're enjoying a wedding or a fun weekend afternoon, the new Olympus FE series (FE-5020, FE-4000 and FE-46) digital compact cameras will consistently capture extraordinary, in-focus pictures of your family and friends. Inside their new premium crystal shell finish, the three stylish FE series cameras pack 12 megapixels, creative in-camera Magic Filters like Pop Art and Pin Hole that make your images stand out, and new AF Tracking that keeps kids, pets, tossed wedding bouquets and other fast-moving objects in focus. The FE-5020 and FE-4000 also have wide-angle zoom lenses inside their new super-slim bodies, so you'll be able to capture even more friends in one memorable image. (06:17 GMT)

PhotographyBLOG reviewed the Casio Exilim EX-H10 digital camera on 22 July 2009 . They said: "The Casio EX-H10 is a good travel zoom camera, offering a compelling package of compact dimensions, versatile wide-angle lens, large LCD screen and HD movies, but ultimately it comes up short in several key areas when compared to the Panasonic DMC-TZ7 / TZ6. The EX-H10 may officially be the slimmest camera in its class, but there's not really that much difference to its main competitors in terms of size or weight ..." (00:41 GMT)

TheOnlinePhotographer reviewed the Olympus E-P1 digital camera on 22 July 2009 . They said: "I applaud Olympus's PEN E-P1. The camera world is badly in need of new ideas even if they’re not entirely new. Taking advantage of the PEN’s 50th anniversary was an inspiration that has injected welcome excitement into the camera marketplace, rather like the 2006 introduction of the Leica M8. Relatively few people can, or are willing to, spring for Leica’s pricey digital rangefinder. But the E-P1 is within reach of ..." (00:24 GMT)

DPInterface reviewed the Olympus Stylus 550WP digital camera on 21 July 2009 . They said: "When I first saw the Olympus Stylus 550WP, I thought it had a lot of potential – it’s a simple waterproof camera with a price tag that anyone can afford. Well, at least I THOUGHT it had a lot of potential; but the Stylus 550WP turned out to be a big letdown. The Stylus 550WP is a slim and compact camera that’s waterproof to 3 meters. There’s a 2.5 inch LCD ..." (05:01 GMT)

PhotographyBay reviewed the Nikon D5000 digital camera on 21 July 2009 . They said: "Overall, I highly recommend the Nikon D5000 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. Image quality in the D5000 rivals cameras much more expensive than it and, if you buy something cheaper, you’re going to miss out on some cutting edge stuff ..." (04:54 GMT)

PhotographyBLOG reviewed the Pentax Optio P70 digital camera on 20 July 2009 . They said: "The Pentax Optio P70 is a promising but ultimately flawed point-and-shoot camera. It has one big problem, namely the agonisingly slow image processing and general operational speed. You will quickly become tired of seeing either a blank LCD screen or the flashing message "Data being processed", and even more tired of missing out on photo opportunities as the camera takes an eternity to process each individual shot. The problem gets ..." (00:26 GMT)

DigitalCameraReview reviewed the Olympus SP-590UZ digital camera on 20 July 2009 . They said: "The Olympus SP-590 UZ should appeal to a broad spectrum of folks for whom an ultrazoom is the instrument of choice - there's all the auto and scene shooting options any dedicated Point and Shoot user could dream of, as well as the face detection and smile detection features that make great marketing copy. But the "death before auto" crowd will find lots to like with this camera as well, ..." (00:23 GMT)

CameraLabs reviewed the Nikon D3x digital camera on 20 July 2009 . They said: "Like the D3 before it, the Nikon D3x is a very serious piece of kit. Both cameras exude physical confidence with tank-like build quality and superb ergonomics. The viewfinder delivers a huge view with 100% coverage and a wealth of information, while the VGA screen ensures images look their best whether in playback or Live View. The dual Compact Flash slots allow invaluable backup configurations that make you wonder why ..." (00:19 GMT)

DPInterface reviewed the Nikon D5000 digital camera on 19 July 2009 . They said: "As I mentioned, the Nikon D5000 is the in-between model, seated above the D60 and below the D90 in Nikon’s digital SLR lineup. The D5000 features 12 megapixels of resolution on its 1.5X crop DX sensor (apparently the same thing you’ll find on the more expensive D90), a 2.7 inch swivelling LCD with live view, 4 FPS burst mode and the full expandability and controls you’d expect from a digital ..." (00:34 GMT)

While Nikon takes great measures to assure high quality in its imaging products, it has come to our attention that an electronic component related to power control in some Nikon D5000 digital SLR cameras does not meet factory specifications and may, in certain circumstances, prevent the camera from turning on, thus preventing operation of the camera.

LapTopMag reviewed the Olympus E-P1 digital camera on 17 July 2009 . They said: "For many shoppers, DSLRs’ bulky shapes are a deal-breaker, and that’s why we like the Olympus PEN E-P1. If you want the image quality of a DSLR along with a more compact design (and can afford to pay a premium), this camera is a compelling choice. The E-P1 is also a smart buy for serious photographers looking for something smaller than a DSLR but more advanced than a point-and-shoot. Although ..." (00:49 GMT)

DigitalCameraInfo reviewed the Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH1 digital camera on 16 July 2009 . They said: "If you're not looking for video recording capabilities, there's no good reason to choose the Panasonic Lumix GH1 over the far less expensive G1 introduced last year. The two cameras are nearly identical in feature set, and while the GH1 has a new image sensor, that doesn't mean it's a better image sensor. In fact, for still photos, we ran into more difficulties with color accuracy and low light performance ..." (02:53 GMT)

They said: "The Kodak EasyShare Z915 offers a lot more than its price would lead you to expect, with good design and easy handling, outstanding performance and a useful range of manual exposure options, but it is let down by over-compressed image files and mediocre low-light performance ..."

DigitalCameraReview reviewed the Pentax Optio E70 digital camera on 16 July 2009 . They said: "Bottom line, the Pentax Optio E70 is just too slow. Image quality is sufficient for the needs of a beginner, but no photographer at any skill level wants to wait for their camera to finish processing an image. Again and again. Slowness aside, the Optio E70 offers very little in terms of performance, especially considering the $140 MSRP. Pentax's competitors offer many options at or below that price point with greater ..."

Imaging Resource reviewed the Fujifilm FinePix Z33WP digital camera on 15 July 2009 . They said: "The Fujifilm Z33WP and Olympus 550WP are in almost a dead heat for the title of least-expensive underwater-rated digital camera, but each has its own particular set of strengths and weaknesses. As you'd expect, there are some significant tradeoffs in optical and image quality that come from combining the words "least-expensive" and "waterproof" in a single product description, but frankly, there are times when having any pictures of a special ..."

Imaging Resource reviewed the Olympus Stylus TOUGH-6000 digital camera on 15 July 2009 . They said: "The Olympus Stylus Tough 6000 competes well in many areas against other rugged/waterproof camera models. We think our sample had a tilted sensor chip, as its images were very soft in one corner, the softness extending far into the frame. Were it not for that particular defect, its image quality was competitive in the category. It's also stylish, combines ruggedness with a waterproof rating of 10 feet, and it offers ..." (01:01 GMT)

Imaging Resource reviewed the Olympus Stylus 550WP digital camera on 15 July 2009 . They said: "Available online for under $150, the Olympus 550WP is one of the least expensive waterproof cameras on the market. It lacks the ruggedness of its big brothers, the Stylus Tough 6000 and 8000, but if all you need is a waterproof rating to 10 feet, it's about the cheapest way to go. Optical and image quality are better than many waterproof models, but clearly fall short of the best - ..." (00:53 GMT)

Seoul, Korea - July 14, 2009 – Samsung Digital Imaging Company today extended its PL-Series of easy-to-use, compact digital cameras with the introduction of the new PL70(SL720) and PL55(SL502). Offering 12.2 mega-pixels, 5x optical zooms and eye-catching style, the new PL70(SL720) and PL55(SL502) are the perfect cameras for consumers looking to capture all those important memories with easy and simple use.

PhotographyBLOG reviewed the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX48 digital camera on 15 July 2009 . They said: "If you want a compact camera that will allow you to merely point and shoot and, under most conditions, achieve results that won't need adjustment afterwards, then the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX40 fits the bill as a neat and not unstylish solution to slip into your top pocket when heading out for the day. The DMC-FX40's ultra wide-angle 25mm lens comes in handy for landscape shots, and the 125mm equivalent telephoto reach ..." (00:25 GMT)

Photography Review reviewed the Canon EOS 5D Mark II digital camera on 15 July 2009 . They said: "The Canon EOS 5D Mark II makes me think one thing - low light, low light, low light. Yes, the 1080p HD video is cool, but that’s not enough to get me to buy it. I’m a photographer not a filmmaker. I’d buy the 5D Mark II to shoot sunset and post-sunset action photos. I’d buy it so I never have to use a flash. I’d buy it so I ..." (00:17 GMT)

DPInterface reviewed the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T90 digital camera on 14 July 2009 . They said: "Still believing that ‘thin is still in’, the Cyber-shot T90 is an ultra-compact which is no more than two thirds of an inch thick. Launched together with the T900 (which I reviewed a while back), the Cyber-shot T90 is essentially a slightly smaller, slimmer version of its pricier sibling. Over here, you’ll still get 12 megapixels of resolution, the same 4X optical zoom lens, a smaller touchscreen (3.0 vs 3.5 ..." (00:27 GMT)

AlphaMountWorld reviewed the Sony DSLR-A330 digital camera on 14 July 2009 . They said: "Also worth noting; I found the integrated aperture/shutter speed graphic display almost charming, and even a good visual cue reminder for beginners on how the two relate to one another. From my recollection, this is the first DSLR design to incorporate a graphic user interface attempting a visual explaination of shutter speed and aperture. Not to mention a graphic user interface that can be engaged to explain nearly every setting ..." (00:18 GMT)

DigitalCameraReview reviewed the Nikon Coolpix S620 digital camera on 13 July 2009 . They said: "During the last years of his life Magnum pro Henri Cartier-Bresson replaced his venerable Leica rangefinder with an ultracompact Contax T. Like the Contax T, the ultracompact Coolpix S620 does a remarkably good job with some of the things its predecessors were famous for – plus it's tough enough to go just about anywhere. The Nikon Coolpix S620 is a very good digital camera, but in the final analysis, the S620 ..." (00:31 GMT)

PhotographyBLOG reviewed the Olympus E-P1 digital camera on 13 July 2009 . They said: "Despite these short-comings, the Olympus EP-1 is still a very appealing and refreshingly different camera that does indeed combine the best features of compact and DSLR cameras. It's not a pocketable camera by any means, contrary to how Olympus are marketing it, but it is small and unobtrusive enough to carry over a shoulder without attracting too much attention. The EP-1 represents a significant upgrade for compact owners who don't ..." (00:20 GMT)

Trusted Reviews reviewed the Pentax X70 digital camera on 11 July 2009 . They said: "The Pentax X70 is a good quality camera from one of the big names in the business, and is capable of producing good pictures over a huge zoom range thanks to an excellent image stabilisation system. It handles well, and is smaller and lighter than most of its competitors, however it has a serious problem with noise even at moderate ISO settings, and the limited battery duration is also a ..."

CameraLabs reviewed the Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH1 digital camera on 11 July 2009 . They said: "As we said at the top, Panasonic’s Lumix DMC-GH1 is the most complete and well-rounded hybrid camera we’ve tested. Both the stills and movie capabilities are very well thought-out and implemented, with few compromises to mention. Considering this is only the second Micro Four Thirds camera on the market (and so closely based on the first), it’s an extremely impressive start for the youthful standard. The GH1 simply appeals on multiple ..." (00:45 GMT)

DigitalCameraReview reviewed the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX48 digital camera on 10 July 2009 . They said: "After being favorably impressed with the FX35 some 16 months ago, I was ready for another "gee whiz" moment from the FX48. Sure, there was David Rasnake's review of the FX37 here last March that faulted the camera for largely maintaining the status quo, but the FX48 promised more resolution and the latest processor technology from Panasonic. The "gee whiz" moment never materialized and my sister is in no danger ..." (00:30 GMT)

Lake Success, N.Y., July 7, 2009 – Canon U.S.A., Inc., a leader in digital imaging, today announced the addition of two new PIXMA Photo All-In-One (AIO) Printers along with one new SELPHY Compact Photo Printer. The two new PIXMA printers utilize Canon's FINE print head technology, which has been recognized by consumers for its ability to deliver quality and performance simultaneously, whether printing images or business documents since its inception 10 years ago. Furthermore, with the overall ease-of-use, innovative design and affordability of these new printers, consumers will have many different options to choose from when deciding on how best to fulfill their printing needs.

DigiCamReview reviewed the Olympus E-P1 digital camera on 09 July 2009 . They said: "When announced the Olympus PEN E-P1 caused quite a lot of interest - here is a camera promising Digital SLR quality from a stylish metal body that is similar in size to a serious compact camera, and can fit in your pocket! Now that the camera is available and has been tested, the camera not only delivers the results, but exceeds expectations. The E-P1's large sensor is the heart of ..." (00:33 GMT)

SLRGear reviewed the Olympus E-520 digital camera on 08 July 2009 . They said: "Overall, the Olympus E-520 delivered really excellent IS performance, easily on par with the best lens-based systems we've tested to date. It's very interesting that it provided more improvement with the shorter lens attached: At this point, we've only tested this one sensor-based IS system, so we can't draw any general conclusions from it. it's possible that sensor-based systems could run into limitations at very long focal lengths, but in ..."

Ninety-two grams lighter than its predecessor, the 14.2-megapixel A380 replaces the DSLR-A350 in Sony's line-up.

Imaging Resource reviewed the Canon PowerShot SX200 IS digital camera on 08 July 2009 . They said: "The Canon PowerShot SX200 is a versatile photo companion, packing a 12x zoom that gets to 336mm, an image processor that can track faces in motion, a wide selection of recording modes including Manual, HD video with an HDMI port, and more. Image quality, while suffering the usual small-camera blurry corners and chromatic aberration, showed surprisingly little distortion and accurate color. The big complaints are that the popup flash can't ..." (03:48 GMT)

T3 reviewed the Olympus E-P1 digital camera on 07 July 2009 . They said: "While many will baulk at the price of the thing (£699 with pancake lens), the camera has the right amount of technology to back up its worth and will no doubt tempt new users to the ‘grown-up camera’ brigade. The retro revolution starts here. Bottom line: A perfect camera for those who want to take a step away from compact cameras. The retro look will also bring your cool rating up ..." (01:34 GMT)

DPReview reviewed the Olympus E-620 digital camera on 06 July 2009 . They said: "The Four Thirds range has tended to lag a fraction behind the best contemporary APS-C sensor-size DSLRs in terms of absolute performance but make up some of the difference with excellent lenses, feature-packed specifications, and lower sticker prices. This isn't the case with the E-620 - however you look at it, it's up there with the best of them. It doesn't offer the video recording capabilities of some of its ..." (00:25 GMT)

DCResource reviewed the Canon EOS 500D digital camera on 06 July 2009 . They said: "While it's not perfect, the Canon EOS Rebel T1i (also known as the EOS-500D) is a well-designed, compact digital SLR that takes good quality photos and videos. Whether you're just starting out or upgrading from an older Canon D-SLR, it's well worth a look. However, do check out the competition closely, as there are many great cameras in the entry-level category ..." (00:16 GMT)

DigitalCameraReview reviewed the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FS25 digital camera on 06 July 2009 . They said: "Compared to the FS20, the FS25 boasts some significant enhancements including more zoom power, more resolution and better Intelligent Auto, but that may not be enough of a reason for somebody to upgrade to the FS25. Images are pretty hit or miss when using the FS25, often leaving us with unsatisfactory pictures when the conditions were blown out or the light changed. But let's call the FS25 what it is: a ..."

Imaging Resource reviewed the Nikon D5000 digital camera on 04 July 2009 . They said: "Our early look at still image quality from the Nikon D5000 reveals one awesome image maker, whose high-ISO settings blow our mind. Even ISO 6,400 looks usable at 8x10, and downright decent at 5x7. And that, far more than the latest gee-whiz feature, the kind of advancement we like to see in a digital camera: better image quality in low light. The Nikon D5000 is a very impressive digital SLR ..." (00:38 GMT)

Steves Digicams reviewed the Olympus E-P1 digital camera on 03 July 2009 . They said: "I feel Olympus has hit a home run with their new PEN series model. While there are a few things that I feel could be better (shooting performance, low-light AF performance, etc.), the list of positive aspects of this camera far out weight the negatives. With the ability to capture beautiful photos, a host of creative still and video options, pleasing HD video quality, and various accessory options, the E-P1 ..." (00:34 GMT)

DigitalCameraReview reviewed the Olympus Stylus TOUGH-6000 digital camera on 02 July 2009 . They said: "Having just checked out Canon's new rugged point-and-shoot, the PowerShot D10, in summing up the Olympus Stylus Tough-6000 some comparisons are inevitable, and in this case, those comparisons largely yield a study in contrasts. The Tough-6000 is smaller, (significantly) more attractive, and better built than the Canon. It's also slower, heavier, and – with touches like xD memory and a slightly strange interface – quirkier than the straightforward D10. Quite ..." (00:54 GMT)

Steves Digicams reviewed the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX48 digital camera on 02 July 2009 . They said: "Panasonic's Lumix DMC-FX48 is a decent little 12-megapixel model. The iAuto exposure mode will allow anyone to pick this camera up and start capturing usable photos. While the FX48 offers some very appealing features, great HD video mode, and a nice wide lens, its image quality and performance results are not quite up to par with other models in this price range. Therefore, with a MSRP of US$349, the Panasonic ..." (00:41 GMT)

PhotographyBLOG reviewed the Casio Exilim EX-S5 digital camera on 01 July 2009 . They said: "The Casio EX-Z1 offers a tempting mix of style, ease-of-use and value for money. The slim and light Z1 is easy on the eye, even in our rather garish pink review sample, and more importantly its very well-suited to its beginner target market. The user interface and handling are more or less spot on, and there's even a completely point and shoot Easy mode for the technophobes in your family. ..." (05:27 GMT)

Photocrati reviewed the Olympus E-620 digital camera on 01 July 2009 . They said: "All in all, I’ll admit that I found this to be an admirable system, with enough functionality to suit even the needs of the advanced amateur, while giving photo enthusiasts a camera they can use immediately sink their teeth into. If you’re a pro, you’ll find this a capable camera for travel photography. The E-620 is priced modestly, even with the kit lenses added, which already makes it alluring. And the ..." (05:16 GMT)
