What Digital Camera? had published a review of the Canon 5D Mark II.

Canon users may now have the resolution of the 1Ds Mark III in a smaller and much cheaper body, but it’s clear that the similarities end there. Rather than being a straightforward derivative of its pro sibling, the 5D Mark II has its predecessor as its template, but with its 50D sibling as a strong influence.

For the latest news and reviews on the 5D Mark II, be sure to stay tuned to Photography Bay’s Canon 5D Mark II Reviews and Resources.

CrunchGear has posted a review of the Canon PowerShot G10.

On the whole, however, I would recommend this camera for the amateur who wants to take some serious outdoor or posed/still shots.

Imaging Resource has published its review of the Olympus E-520.

The E-520 faces stiff competition in the increasingly-ubiquitous sub-$700 digital SLR category, and although it possesses a number of enticing elements, it lacks key differentiators to elevate it significantly above its rivals.

You can read more about the new camera on Photography Bay’s Olympus E-520 page.

Sony A900 Review at Cnet

Cnet has posted a review of the Sony A900.

A good first try at a pro-level camera, the Sony Alpha DSLR-A900 has the high resolution but unfortunately lacks some of the performance and usability you expect from a model in its price range.

For more news and reviews, check out Photography Bay’s Sony A900 Reviews and Resources.

Both B&H Photo and Adorama are accepting orders for the Canon 5D Mark II.  B&H generally does this when stock is available or on its way.  Adorama says they are expecting the 5D Mark II in their warehouse “in a few days.”

FYI, these are trusted retailers that I personally shop with on a regular basis.
