Cameras.co.uk - 4/30/2007 - has reviewed the 7.1 megapixel Canon PowerShot A560 and they write, “There is a lot to like about the seven megapixel Canon Powershot A560. O.K. so it is too large for a pocket, but it makes up for that in terms of overall picture quality. It also possesses a slightly longer than standard zoom lens.”

TrustedReviews - 4/30/2007 - reviews the Fujifilm FinePix S5 Pro and writes, “The Fujifilm S5 Pro continues in its predecessors’ tradition of providing superior dynamic range and tonal quality for specialist portrait and wedding photographers, who will be delighted with its outstanding capabilities in these areas, as well as its superb handling, build quality and performance. It’s not really an ideal camera for the general consumer though, so if you’re looking for a similarly-priced general-purpose DSLR you’d be better off buying the Nikon D200 instead.”

PhotographyBlog - 4/30/2007 - reviews the 7.1 megapixel Olympus SP-550 UZ and writes, “With an asking price of £375 in the UK, which is similar to what some retailers are now asking for body-only DSLR deals, potential purchasers of the Olympus SP-550 UZ face a hard choice – particularly those who are upgrading from a simple point-and-shoot, and don’t already have the increased flexibility of a prosumer camera. Build quality is however good given its mainly plastic frame – the camera is solidly fashioned, attractively finished, and with batteries inserted feels capable of withstanding a few knocks in the heat of the action. The necessary unfurling of that zoom lens however does slow down responsiveness. That given, the most disappointing feature of the Olympus SP-550 UZ is the images themselves, which benefit from sharpening and their colours boosting in the image editor of your choice. Noise is also something of a problem when attempting low or natural light shots, suggesting that the best use for the camera is candid snaps in the park on a bright sunny day. If you do so you’ll find the majority of photos are far from terrible; close ups are OK (down to an impressive 1cm) and shots taken at extreme telephoto can be surprisingly crisp, but there’s certainly room for improvement.”

Digital Camera Review - 4/30/2007 - reviews the Nikon Coolpix P5000 and they write, “The Nikon Coolpix P5000 provides a 10 megapixel sensor, excellent image and color quality, and an ergonomically excellent camera in a compact, easily portable package. Not only does the camera come with the full auto and specialty modes found in virtually every P&S, but a complete set of manual controls as well. This combined with the optional wide and telephoto converters gives the P5000 a versatility that could attract a varied group of shooters: those new to digital imagery can use the auto functions and be assured of quality images, while photographers who want or need the ability to go semi-automatic or manual get their wish as well.”

PopPhoto - 4/29/2007 - has shows how to remove the IR cutoff filter an converts the 14.1 megapixel Sigma SD14 into an infrared camera. - “Sigma is not aggressively marketing the SD14 as one of the only hot-swappable visible, IR plus visible and IR-only spectrum interchangeable lens cameras on the market, but maybe they should. It’s a cool trick of this already unconventional, Foveon-sensor based camera.”

DigitalReviews - 4/28/2007 - has reviewed the 10.1 megapixel Casio Exilim Zoom EX-Z1050 and they write, “The Casio 1050 can be seen as a minor upgrade to the 1000. The EX-Z1050 sports a 2.6-inch LCD screen and features a much faster burst mode. This can be up to seven frames per second. Image quality again is fine at the lower zoom levels but suffers at the high end. The advantage of having 10 mega pixels is of course that you don’t have to zoom in all that much. Just crop the photograph to the bit that you really want.”

DigitalReviews - 4/28/2007 - has reviewed the 7.2 megapixel Casio Exilim EX-V7 and writes, “The Casio EX-V7 is a powerful digicam, structured around a unique zoom system. It’s clearly designed for people who love to have the latest in the point-and-shoot market. It’s a pity that the picture quality doesn’t quite match up with the expectations one should have from this top of the range Casio model. Having said that, most people in this market will be quite happy with the overall quality and feature-set of this camera. You know you’ll have a sturdy camera and access to a high powered zoom. And it is a great looking camera.”
