Buy-n-Shoot has posted a review of the Nikon D90.

The D90 is a genuinely well-crafted DSLR from Nikon that covers all of the bases that a mid-range unit should, as well as providing a host of additional features and controls that are well and truly pushing the D90 towards semi-professional territory.

The Pentax K-7 is a 14.6 megapixel DSLR, which features HD video capturing capabilities and a unique HDR mode, which produces one composite image from a series of 3 bracketed exposures.

The K-7 is a crop-sensor camera, which means it produces an angle of view of 1.5x the focal length of lenses as compared to a 35mm or full frame camera.  For example, a 300mm lens has the appearance of a 450mm lens as a result of the “crop factor”.

Photo Review has posted a review of the Canon 500D (aka Rebel T1i).

Low-light performance was outstanding, with no visible noise in long exposures right up to ISO 1600 and very little noise at ISO 3200.

DCR has posted a review of the Olympus E-620.

Even in an industry where we’re used to derivative models and trickle-down technology, the E-620 impressed with just how closely its performance – from shooting speed to image quality – aligned with what we saw from the much more expensive parent model.

PhotographyBLOG has posted a review of the Canon PowerShot D10.

Ignore the rather obvious external design differences, and you’ll find that the D10 offers the usual blend of intuitive handling, sensible design and largely dependable image quality.

Steve’s Digicams has posted a review of the Panasonic Lumix ZS3.

Our indoor image samples show the same great exposure and color, as well as a crisp image from edge to edge. ISO 400 is the first time noise appears in the image. Even then, the level is acceptable and will not be noticed in prints of 8×10 or larger.
