Nikon D50 Review by CNET
David D. Busch from Cnet gave 7.6 out of 10 ratings to Nikon D50 and wrote:
“The good:Strong performance; excellent image quality; low visual noise; simple modes for neophytes; robust burst mode.
The bad:Simplified controls sometimes clumsy to use; small viewfinder; no depth-of-field preview; only one set of custom parameters; raw-file editing/control software costs extra.
The bottom line: Performance and features that rival those of more expensive digital SLR cameras make the 6-megapixel Nikon D50 one of the best entry-level options.”
Olympus Stylus 600
The new Olympus Stylus 600 with Olympus’ BrightCapture Technology enables photographers to frame a live view in low light conditions, which will appear more than four times brighter on the LCD than on a conventional camera. As well as removing the guesswork out of framing in the dark, three special shooting modes; Available Light Portrait, Indoors and Night Scene enhance night-time images, making the best possible use of available light to achieve incredible quality shots.
Available in a choice of three colors - Navy Blue, Ruby Red and Arctic Silver - this stylish and compact camera boasts a weatherproof metal body, a precision 3x zoom lens (1:3.1-5.1, equivalent to 35-105mm in 35mm format) and 3x digital zoom.
Olympus FE-120
Your first car may have been an old heap and your first place more a hovel than a home, but there is no reason for your first camera not to live up to expectation if you purchase an Olympus FE-120.
This first rate camera for beginners is packed full of the kind of features your more experienced digital camera using friends will be impressed by. Its 6.0 mega pixel resolution makes sure pictures have pinpoint clarity even while the camera gets close up with a 3x zoom lens. Its Super Macro technology allows even the tiniest detail to be captured up close, from just 2cms away. So if you are honing your photographic skills on the British countryside you will be able to capture close up every petal and leaf.
Olympus FE-100 and Olympus Fe-110
If you struggle getting through manuals or become baffled by technology then getting to grips with a new piece of kit can feel more like a chore than the delight you envisaged whilst choosing your ideal camera. Smart snappers will be relieved to know that with the new Olympus FE-100 and FE-110 cameras they’ll be capturing pictures perfectly in minutes!

Canon EOS 5D or Canon EOS 20D or Canon EOS 1D MkII N ?
With the latest three great DSLR cameras from Canon, lots of people are now questioning…
” should I buy Canon EOS 5D or Canon EOS 20D or Canon EOS 1D MkII N ?”
Bob Atkins compared the Canon EOS 5D, Canon EOS 20d and Canon EOS 1D MkII N and wrote:
“Tough choice. The price difference is $2000 which isn’t insignificant! Though the 5D is a breakthrough in pricing for a full frame camera, it’s still out of the reach of many photographers at $3300. For those doing studio work or landscape and editorial shooting, the 5D will be a great camera and I’m sure it will sell very well indeed. For anyone shooting a lot of action, the slightly more expensive ($3999) EOS 1D MkII N, with it’s 8.5fps frame rate and 48/22 JPEG/RAW buffer will still probably be the camera of choice. For penurious amateur wildlife shooters who never have a lens long enough to capture their subjects, the 20D probably remains the camera of choice due to its higher pixel density and significantly lower price. The 1Ds Mk II will still command the attention of those wealthy enough to buy it and who need the durability of a fully weather sealed camera with the ultimate in full frame image quality. However I’d guess that the 5D might well eat into 1Ds MkII sales as the $4700 price difference is more than a lot of people will be able to justify”
