Digital Camera News, Reviews and Tips
Trusted Reviews has posted a review of the new Ricoh R8, which offers a 10 megapixel sensor and a 28-200mm equivalent zoom.
The Ricoh R8 is an expensive camera, but it does offer a unique specification and very distinctive style. Build quality is superb, and the design of the body and control interface makes it a real pleasure to use.

Imaging Resource recently posted a review of the Nikon L15.
Overall, the Nikon Coolpix L15 performed well in terms of exposure and color accuracy outdoors. However, detail definition and noise performance were disappointing when the camera needed to raise the ISO setting. Under brighter conditions, the Nikon L15 captured much better detail. You’ll get the best results when shooting in good lighting, but expect higher noise and noise suppression when shooting at lower light levels without the flash.
PCMag.com has posted a review of the new Sony DSC-H10.
The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H10’s unique features are overshadowed by poor flash image quality and iffy face detection. If you’re in the market for a budget superzoom, better, lower-priced options are out there.
