 Imaging Resource has a review up on the Olympus Stylus 720 SW
"Cameras don’t get cooler than this. Olympus did it up right in the design department, building a camera that both looks and feels solid. The 720 SW is Olympus’s most attractive point and shoot to date. It’s shiny metal body with brushed stainless accents make it look and feel like it was machined from a solid block of steel. It’s light, yet steel-stiff.
The lens is not central on the front, nor does it protrude. It’s a folded optic design, meaning that the zoom mechanism is stacked inside with the sensor at the bottom looking up just like a periscope on a submarine. That means no fragile external moving parts that can break, an essential design element to a camera that stays rugged even in shooting mode. This opening is protected by a cropped circular bezel and a hefty metal door that swings out of and into place when the camera is powered on and off." |

 Digital Reviews has posted their review of the Olympus E-300 Evolt DSLR where they write - 'The two weeks with the Evolt was not enough for an in-depth review but enough to realize that Olympus has a winner in the E-300. If they had a lens that covered the 28-200mm range it would absolutely be the camera of choice for my aerial photography work. This is just a personal requirement though and most folks would be happy to change lenses on occasion. The 8MP resolution gives brilliant enlargements and the price of US$1000 seems to be just right for what’s offered: a camera that does not disappoint the discerning pro. |

 Think Camera have posted their review the Nikon L2 where they give it a rating of 5 stars (out of 5) and write - 'This camera suits non-technical users who want fast access to some fairly advanced functionality. It really is a camera that you can just pick up and start using immediately. The colour photos I took at 6 megapixels came out very well, and it coped admirably with overcast conditions. The colours were sharp and the borders between different areas of the photo produced the right amount of contrast.... The Nikon L2 is compact, stylish and easy to use. Beneath this camera's sleek exterior lies a good range of features which are genuinely effective, not gimmicky. Perhaps designed with the youth market in mind, it deserves to be considered by a wider audience.' |

Photography Review has a new user Nikon's 10.2 megapixel D200 review posted and here's an excerpt : "Very few people are going to give an accurate review of the new Nikon D200, but I'm going to try. I'm NOT going to review the D200 on its own. That's not realistic or representative of how shoppers will seek out this camera. At such a high price, most buyers will have experience with digital cameras and DSLRs and be matching the D200 against other models. This review examines the new Nikon in that regard. IF you are actually thinking of this as a FIRST DSLR, please STOP. This is most likely not a good 1st DSLR due to it's complexity and steep learning curve."
Strength Improved AF, excellent color and near perfect handling and build. Weakness Noise...and don't waste my time with excuses. At this price point they should have done much better. Expose exactly right and noise is not too bad, but a 550 dollar Nikon D50 does better. This camera can also produce banding artifacts at higher ISO's but so can the Canons. Add on battery grip feels cheap compared to the camera quality. |

 Digital Camera Resource Page have up a review of the Nikon Coolpix S6. In other reviews, people have said to go with its little brother the S5 as it is cheaper, but works just as well, others have said to not go for the S5, the S6 is where it is at with its larger LCD and WiFi, so now let’s see what DCRP says about the Coolpix S6.
The Coolpix S6 won’t win any awards for its photo quality. While photos were well-exposed, I found colors to be oversaturated at times and just plain wrong at others (see the greenish cast in some of the sample images). Vignetting (dark corners) and blurry edges were also a problem. Despite having a fancy two-stage redeye reduction, this annoyance still popped up in our flash test. I was also disappointed with the results of our night test shot, which was soft and noisy |

 Imaging Resource has posted their review of the Nikon Coolpix S5 where they write - 'Though it might not lead the pack based on image quality alone, the Nikon Coolpix S5 has a lot going for it in a camera this small. For starters, the Nikon S5's svelte metallic chassis is one of the thinnest I've used, making it the perfect camera to slip into your pocket and forget about until you're ready to take pictures. Along with being thin, the camera boasts a distinctive wave-like design that's less than a inch thick on the right side, providing a convenient handgrip. The left half of the camera has a slight ripple to house the impressive 3x optical Nikkor ED glass lens which does not protrude from the body even at full zoom. The majority of the rear of the Nikon S5 is taken up by the camera's nice 2.5-inch LCD which produces great playback and live preview thanks to the screen's 230,000 pixels.'
