Nikon Coolpix S3 – Review @ CNET Asia
Kevin Wu Li has recently posted his review on Nikon Coolpix S3, 6-megapixel camera with 2.5″ LCD screen and 3x optical zoom (35-105mm in 35mm equivalent).
“The Coolpix S3 isn’t the fastest digicam we’ve seen so far. The image-processing time averaged 3 seconds without flash and a staggering 5 seconds with flash. It’s not all gloom, though. Powering up the unit took approximately 1.5 seconds and another second more for time to first shot. Autofocusing was reasonable between 1.5 and 2 seconds.
Image quality from the Coolpix S3 was average. We noticed most of our images had a slight yellow cast and were a bit soft. “

Canon EOS 30D – Preview @ Photo.net
Bob Atkins had has written a review on the new Canon EOS 30D, a digital SLR camera with 8.2 Megapixel (CMOS), 5 fps frame rate, 9-point autofocus, spot metering and 2.5 inch LCD screen.
“I don’t think there is currently a better camera for the price. While 20D owners may not be dumping their cameras in droves and upgrading to the Canon 30D, I think a lot of first time buyers and those upgrading from the Digital Rebel series or earlier DSLRS like the 10D or D60 will find the 30D an excellent choice. The 20D owners can now probably afford that 17-85IS or 10-22 wideangle zoom they have been lusting after if they decide not to trade up to a 30D!”

Kodak Easyshare P880 VS Fuji Finepix S9000/S9500
DCViews has done a good job comparing Kodak EasyShare P880 to Fuji Finepix S9000/S9500
“The Kodak P880 and the Fuji S9000 are in the same category compact SLR-like and have a similar price tag. But here the similarity stops. The P880 is a very capable digital camera, but it is still very much a compact in build, speed and performance. However because of the many manual features it is a fine camera for the more demanding hobby photographer. The small size, light weight and 24 mm wide angle makes the P880 a pleasant travel companion. The S9000 has more aspirations to be a DSLR, but cannot live up to those standards. Speed and image quality (at high ISO) is much less and the absence of image stabilization, RAW and Adobe RGB make it no alternative for the semi-professional. The many features, large zoom range, good image quality at low ISO, however make it a very good choice for the amateur photographer, who doesn’t want to go out with a bag full of accessories and heavy lenses.”

Ricoh GR Digital – Review @ Digital LifeStyle
Mike Slocombe has posted his review on Ricoh GR, a point-and-shoot digital camera with 8.1 Megapixel CCD, a fixed F2.4 focal length for the newly-developed GR 28mm wideangle lens and 2.5″ LCD screen.
“The Ricoh GR Digital is a truly unique digital camera that stands out from the crowd by concentrating on the basics, offering a speedy performance, full creative control, a good battery life and a fast, crisp wide-angle lens that made it perfect for landscapes and cameos.
Because of its niche appeal, the Ricoh’s a tough camera to unreservedly recommend, but for keen street/landscape photographers looking for a rugged, flexible, high quality camera capable of the very highest results, we’d put the GR Digital right at the very top of the list.”

Pentax Optio S6 – Review @ Digicamreview
Digicamreview has recently posted a review on Pentax Optio S6, a 6.0 Megapixel point-and-shoot digital camera with 3x optical zoom lens and 2.5″ LCD Screen.
“Noise is acceptable upto ISO200. At ISO400 noise is clearly visible, and this setting should be avoided – beware of the auto mode choosing this in dark conditions. The Candlelight mode is best avoided as well, but could be used for acceptable 6×4 prints when you didn’t want to use the flash. The best results are achieved by sticking with the lowest ISO settings, such as ISO64 and ISO100.”

Canons EOS-1D Mark II N – Review @ Shutterbug
George Schaub has posted a review on Canons EOS-1D Mark II N, a professional Digital SLR camera featuring 8.2 Megapixel (CMOS) performance at 8.5 frames per second and 2.5″ LCD screen.
“You should consider the Mark II N if you are yearning to improve your action photography, as that’s what it is built for. Should you get it if you only occasionally shoot action and might use it more for the usual digital SLR fare? If you are a Canon user then I think not, as the new EOS 5D, recently reviewed by David Brooks, offers full frame and a higher megapixel count for somewhat less money. It’s not that the Mark II N delivers an inferior still frame image; image quality is dazzling as befits a pro digital SLR. But use it for the purpose for which it’s intended and you’ll be thrilled to have a tool made for the sports and action photographer.”
