RegHardware reviewed the Nikon D3000 digital camera on 30 October 2009 . They said: "Testing the D3000 was more fun than expected. It’s packed with features a novice will appreciate, while performing like a much more professional model. The feel of the camera is just what you want from a small DSLR: light and compact with intuitive handling and a solid build. That said, it’s a shame Nikon decided not to include a movie facility or Live View mode, as this might adversely influence ..."

DigitalCameraReview reviewed the Canon PowerShot G11 digital camera on 30 October 2009 . They said: "When Canon brought out the successor to the G10 and dropped resolution from 14.7 to 10 megapixels, some eyebrows may have been raised. The trend in compact digitals has been to keep bumping up resolution (while not necessarily keeping pace with physical sensor size), but Canon heard some grumbling about the G10's noise performance and, to their credit, responded.
The G11 is a wonderful combination of a lens with very good ..."

LetsGoDigital reviewed the Pentax K-7 digital camera on 29 October 2009 . They said: "Pentax does not have an equally big marketing budget as that of Canon or Nikon. That is why the brand remains somewhat inconspicuous, due to all the attention that is claimed by the other brands. However, Pentax certainly is a brand that deserves attention. Something Pentax proves once again with the K-7. It is a very interesting and nice-looking camera for serious photographers, and even for professional photographers ..."

DPInterface reviewed the Nikon Coolpix S1000pj digital camera on 29 October 2009 . They said: "The Nikon Coolpix S1000pj is one of the more unique digital cameras of year 2009. Besides having the 12 megapixel sensor, 5X optical zoom lens and 2.7 inch LCD, along with other bells and whistles like your average point-and-shoot camera, the S1000pj also features a built-in projector.
I was pretty surprised at how well Nikon implemented a mini-projector into the Coolpix S1000pj. Last year, it was the pleasant to use touchscreen ..."

Steves Digicams reviewed the Fujifilm FinePix F70EXR digital camera on 29 October 2009 . They said: "The Fuji FinePix F70EXR is an outstanding compact digicam, loaded with exciting new features and shooting modes. The newly designed 10-Megapixel Super CCD EXR imaging sensor captures excellent, high quality images, while the new image processor allows the camera to combine images on the fly to improve image quality. With several "Auto" shooting modes, including EXR Auto, anyone can pick up this camera and capture fantastic images. With a MSRP ..."

DigitalSecrets reviewed the Canon EOS-1D Mark IV digital camera on 28 October 2009 . They said: "When shooting with the 1DM4, we think that M1 scale JPEG images will save file space without compromising retained image quality. It will be interesting to test it. The M1 image is equivalent to a 12 MP image, and darned if that isn't the full-size image from Nikon's D3s. It won't be surprising to see Canon's down-converted 12 MP images showing a tad more picture power over the Nikon's 12 ..."

PhotographyBLOG reviewed the Pentax K-x digital camera on 28 October 2009 . They said: "The new Pentax K-x occupies the sweet spot between the entry-level K-m and prosumer K-7 cameras, combining the ease-of-use of the former with many of the advanced features of the latter. The 4.7 fps continuous shooting speed, speedy and accurate 11-point AF system, HD movies and an extensive ISO range of 100-12800 mean that Pentax should be onto a real winner with the new K-x.
The K-x offers a veritable wealth ..."

Steves Digicams reviewed the Pentax Optio W80 digital camera on 27 October 2009 . They said: "The Pentax Optio W80 is an incredibly versatile compact digicam, with the ability to go and operate in conditions that only a few other cameras can. Featuring a 12-Megapixel imaging sensor, 5x optical zoom lens, and 720p HD movie mode, this camera comes loaded with great features. Performance is very good, while image quality suffers a bit due to the amount of noise present in our photos. This is something ..."

ByThom reviewed the Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF1 digital camera on 26 October 2009 . They said: "The question most of you have for me at this point is: E-P1 or GF1. My answer is going to surprise you, I think: the Olympus E-P1.
The whole reason to acquire one of these cameras is image quality, I think. If you're just looking for a convenience camera, there are plenty of competent compacts. But if you're a DSLR user looking for DSLR-type results out of a smaller camera, ..."

CameraLabs reviewed the Nikon D3000 digital camera on 24 October 2009 . They said: "When Nikon launched the D5000 as its new ‘affordable’ DSLR, it left a big gap for a true budget model to replace the ageing D40, D40x and D60. Now that model’s arrived in the form of the D3000, and as expected, it inherits much from its predecessor, along with picking a few upgraded components from higher-end models.
As such, the D3000 employs the body and sensor of the earlier D60, adds ..."

PhotographyBLOG reviewed the Canon PowerShot G11 digital camera on 22 October 2009 . They said: "Priced exactly the same as its still current predecessor in the G10, the G11 offers the advantage of a flexible LCD screen plus higher ISO options. If neither is particularly important and a higher resolution will serve better, then the older G10 is the one to go for.
With the G11 taken on its own terms, although the lens in use can't be swapped, the broader than average 28-140mm equivalent focal ..."

The question really comes down to image quality. I find that to be on a par with the SD990 IS and SX10 IS, exhibiting the same ..."

Elmsford, NY – October 20, 2009 – Mamiya, synonymous with professional photography, has introduced a new 22MP, 36x48mm digital camera selling for $9,995. The Mamiya DM22, slated for November delivery, is the perfect choice for photographers when 35mm-sized DSLRs are not good enough. In fashion work, studio product photography, industrial/scientific or other demanding photographic specialties, medium format photography is in many people's eyes hands-down the winner over 35mm-based digital. The DM22 is the affordable way to achieve that superiority.

It has excellent build quality and is very quick and responsive.

They said: "Virtually identical to its year-old predecessor, the new Canon PowerShot SX120 doesn't represent a worthwhile upgrade for current SX110 owners, but it does remain an affordable and well-specified super-zoom that should appeal to both beginners and serious photographers alike.
The Canon PowerShot SX120 is slightly cheaper than the precious model and offers an extra megapixel, new Smart Auto mode, slightly faster processing thanks to DIGIC 4, and an improved face detection ..."

We have already published a number of reviews of several digital cameras of this type. If we compare the test results, it becomes clear that the Mju 9000 scores only moderately, and should be improved on several points in order to reach comparable test results like the PowerShot SX200 IS or Lumix DMC-TZ7 cameras ..."

They said: "The FinePix S200EXR builds on the successful design of the previous S100FS with the logical addition of Fujifilm's exciting EXR technology, although we miss the tiltable LCD screen and slightly wider-angle lens of its predecessor.
The S200EXR is one of the best bridge-style cameras that we've reviewed, with the manual zoom and focus rings almost replicating a true DSLR experience. If you want the handling of a DSLR but can't stomach ..."

MELVILLE, N.Y. (Oct. 14, 2009) – Today, Nikon Inc. announced the FX-format D3S D-SLR, providing professional photographers with a powerful tool that redefines the boundaries of digital SLR versatility, while maintaining the strength of superior image quality and high speed performance inherited from the groundbreaking D3. The D3S enables not only new opportunities in low-light photography, but also provides photographers with added shutter speed and aperture freedom with a base ISO sensitivity range from ISO 200 to a remarkable 12,800. Additionally, expanded ISO equivalent settings up to a staggering 102,400 are available, enabling photographers to create images previously thought impossible.

LetsGoDigital reviewed the Canon PowerShot SD960 IS digital camera on 15 October 2009 . They said: "If you are looking for a handy and, especially, a trendy design camera, you will soon spot the Canon IXUS 110 IS. The model stands out from the masses, which gives Canon a small lead over the competition. The quality is fine to excellent and will probably be appealing as a snapshot camera, preferably in good light circumstances. If you want to shoot in a more serious way, you'd better ..."

DigitalCameraReview reviewed the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX1 digital camera on 15 October 2009 . They said: "The Sony Cyber-shot HX1 proves to be a veritable Swiss Army Knife of a midsize camera. Need to grab some sports shots? It has the lens and the speed to do it. Headed to the zoo? Again, you're covered. Summer vacation at the Grand Canyon? The HX1 counters with perhaps the most useful panorama mode ever installed on a digicam. Plus, you can get video clips worthy of your 42-inch ..."

PhotographyBLOG reviewed the Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZR1 digital camera on 15 October 2009 . They said: "The Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZX1 bridges the gap between the popular FX and TZ series cameras, offering the small size of the former combined with a similar focal range to the latter. Super-quick auto-focusing and improved image stabilisation help to sweeten the deal, although the video mode and LCD screen aren't as good as the TZ7's.
We've never seen such a small camera with such a long zoom lens before. The combination ..."

The Olympus E-P1 now has some very, very strong competition in the form of ..."

MELVILLE, N.Y. (Oct. 14, 2009) – Nikon Inc., today introduced the new medium telephoto AF-S DX Micro NIKKOR 85mm f/3.5G ED VR lens designed specifically for extreme close-up photography, yet perfectly suited for portrait, nature, and general imaging as well. Focusing as close as 0.9 ft., this new 85mm Micro lens allows photographers to capture breathtaking close-up images with life-size reproduction ratios up to 1:1, helping to ensure that even the subtlest of subject detail is reproduced faithfully. The new 85mm Micro NIKKOR lens, in conjunction with Nikon DX-format digital SLR cameras, renders a picture angle equivalent of approximately 127.5mm ...

It’s a pity we cannot show you the images, since it is simply incredible what the improved sensor of the D3s is able to do. Both pictures and videos benefit from the large ISO range, enabling shooting in the most difficult circumstances. If you have the possibility to ..."

PhotographyBLOG reviewed the Canon EOS 7D digital camera on 14 October 2009 . They said: "When the Canon EOS 7D was announced at the beginning of September 2009, many people instantly dismissed it because of the lack of a full-frame sensor. On closer inspection, that seems to be their loss, as the 7D is a fantastic APS-C DSLR that only narrowly misses out on our highest 5 Star / Essential award.
Outwardly very similar to the 5D Mark II, the Canon 7D is not just a ..."

They said: "The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FT1 / TS1 is an excellent all-round compact that can also be used in the water to a depth of 3 metres. It has a 12.1 Megapixel sensor, a good all-purpose 28-128mm equivalent optical zoom with very effective image stabilisation. It also boasts excellent video capabilities, delivering 720p HD video in the choice of two formats with the ability to optical zoom during shooting, and output both ..."

Imaging Resource reviewed the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-WX1 digital camera on 14 October 2009 . They said: "The Sony WX1 has some magic up its sleeve. Its new sensor sees better in low light and it can grab a handful of shots in the dark and composite them into an image you can't capture with other cameras. Add Sweep Panorama to the picture and the Sony WX1 spells compact fun.
However, the Sony WX1 was a little too compact for me, the battery cover springing open and the ..."

Imaging Resource reviewed the Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF1 digital camera on 13 October 2009 . They said: "Both the Panasonic GF1 and the Olympus E-P1 have their virtues, and both take a pretty nice image from what we can tell. The Panasonic GF1's faster autofocus makes it a better choice for journalists, though those shooting JPEGs will have to be careful about the yellow and orange performance. Olympus's E-P1 has considerably slower autofocus, though we didn't notice it much until we set the camera in front of ..."

OBERKOCHEN/Germany, 12.10.2009. The breaking dawn is a special time for photo- graphers. When the early-morning sun reluctantly chases away the still-glistening dew on the trees, this delicate transition between night and day creates moments of calm and anticipation. But without a tripod at hand, these shots will only succeed with a lens that can handle intense light. Carl Zeiss today introduces the wide-angle lens Distagon T* 2/28 ZE with EF bayonet, suitable for all analog and digital EOS camera models. With an initial aperture opening of 1:2, it is among the most light-intense of its kind in its focal length.

While its asking price would buy a competing compact with more actual creative features, a much bigger lens and broader focal range - if wanted - that's not really what this camera is about. It's not so ..."

CameraLabs reviewed the Canon PowerShot D10 digital camera on 11 October 2009 .

With a 12.1 megapixel sensor, 3x digital zoom and 2.5in LCD it's specifications may not set your heart racing, but within these boundaries it does what it does very well and produces excellent quality photos.

DigitalCameraReview reviewed the Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF1 digital camera on 11 October 2009 . They said: "The GF1 is an interesting camera with the potential to attract a wide cross-section of users. On the one hand it can appeal to novice shooters with its host of automatic and scene shooting modes, face recognition technology and compact size. More experienced hands will find a broad expanse of manual controls and adjustments to suit the fussiest of users, along with that compact size. It's small, light and slots ..."

PhotographyBLOG reviewed the Canon PowerShot SD980 IS digital camera on 09 October 2009 . They said: "Given that this is a point and shoot pocket camera, not a tank-like super zoom nor bridge model, Canon may struggle to justify the price of the Digital IXUS 200 IS and indeed a quick internet search will reveal better deals; we found one major retailer offering it from Ł270 at the time of writing which, psychologically at least in coming under the Ł300 'barrier', is much more like it.

The GF1 isn't perfect, but it is one of my favourite cameras of 2009.
The DMC-G1 isn't as small as all those glossy marketing shots may have suggested, but it subsequently handles really well, even for someone with large hands. It delivers all ..."

They said: "When I reviewed the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX35 back in March 2008 I was impressed enough with that camera's overall performance to buy one for my sister. Subsequent Panasonic offerings that have crossed my path for review purposes didn't produce the same warm and fuzzy feelings as the FX35, but the FP8 has reversed that trend.

This tiny camera is a blast to use, and the carrying options are almost limitless. It can fit into the smallest of pockets, so you can take it with you almost anywhere. The only thing I would love to see Canon add to these models would be some sort of waterproofing or weather-resistance, which would make them true "go anywhere" cameras. ..."

They said: "The Fujifilm FinePix F70EXR was a little unexpected, so soon after the F200EXR, it's thinner, yet has an impressive 10x optical zoom lens! As a compact camera it's impressive that so much can be packed into a camera the same size as most other cameras only featuring a 3x optical zoom lens! Whilst the EXR sensor may not be as good as previous Fuji cameras for low noise, it does ..."

LetsGoDigital reviewed the Nikon D3000 digital camera on 06 October 2009 . They said: "In terms of settings, the Nikon D3000 provides plenty of application possibilities for the amateur or novice photographer. We can live with the lack of Live View, video and a tilting LCD monitor (D5000) since this does not have any effect on the image quality. If you have outgrown your compact camera and just want more image quality, and really want to delve into your creativity, the Nikon D3000 will ..."

It has the technical wonders required to earn one, starting with the new Exmor R sensor's increased light sensitivity, the responsive widescreen, touch-sensitive LCD, and some innovative shooting modes.

DCResource reviewed the Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF1 digital camera on 05 October 2009 . They said: "The DMC-GF1 is a compact interchangeable lens camera similar in size to the Olympus E-P1. That shouldn't be too surprising, as they're both rangefinder-style cameras based on the Micro Four Thirds standard.

Imaging-resource reviewed the Canon EOS 500D digital camera on 05 October 2009 . They said: "So it's pretty clear, if the Beta unit's quality holds up, that the Canon Rebel T1i's image quality is at least as good as the Canon 50D, delivering more detail than most of the 12-megapixel cameras on the market for less money. Noise suppression is a bigger factor, but you can also turn that noise reduction down or off completely, or shoot 14-bit RAW, something we'll explore in greater depth ..."

They said: "Canon’s earlier PowerShot SX10 IS was one of the best super-zooms around, so while the enhancements on the new model aren’t radical, they’ve made a great camera even better. Two out of three requests we made last year have been addressed here, with the addition of HD video recording and an HDMI port, and we’re not surprised to find the third, RAW recording, remains absent.
