• MSI StarCam 370i   [Preview, HardwareZone]
  In the guise of a one-eyed alien, the StarCam 370i is MSI's newest web camera entry. Designed for webcasting and online video chats, it even had surveillance functions and works in the dark with infrared light.

• Fujifilm FinePix F10   [Review, TrustedReviews]
  This is a camera for which I have been waiting with some interest for several months, ever since a marketing executive from Fujifilm told me that the company was working on a camera which eliminated image noise at all sensitivity settings right up to 1600 ISO – that’s like hearing about a car that goes at 200mph and gets 200mpg. Image noise is the bane of digital photography, so fame, fortune and glory awaits for the company that can conquer it first. The official press release that accompanied the review sample was a little less boastful, but still mentioned a “low noise” ISO 64-1600 sensitivity range, so I was keen to see what it could do.

• FujiFilm FinePix Z1   [Review, designtechnica]
  The FinePix Z1 joins a gaggle of thin 5-megapixel digital cameras with large LCD screens and built-in 3x optical zooms. Available from Sony, Nikon, Konica Minolta and others, this digicam design is geared for point-and-shooters who want a stylish, handy camera that takes good pictures. The Fujifilm FinePix Z1 is a solid competitor in this group with above average sensitivity, a cool sliding door that turns on the power, and a decent, 2.5-inch LCD screen.

• Sony HDR-HC1   [Review, PCPro]
  Awesome high-definition video quality, particularly in good lighting, and for an unbelievably reasonable price. The HDTV revolution could be here sooner than we thought. Just six months ago, Sony brought its first semi-professional, high-definition camcorder to the UK, the HDR-FX1E. Now Sony has upstaged both itself and every other camcorder company with the first HDV model aimed at consumers. But that's not the only unusual thing about the HDR-HC1. It's also just the second camcorder ever to eschew the traditional Charge-Coupled Device (CCD) in favour of Complementary Metal-Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) technology, the first being Sony's DCR-PC1000.

• Pentax Optio S5z   [Review, TrustedReviews]
  It is getting increasingly difficult to know what to write about Pentax’s ever-expanding line of five megapixel compacts. The range now consists of no less than nine models, all very similar in both specification and appearance. The new S5z joins the S5n, S5i, SV, SVi, S50, 50, and S55, as well as the Optio WP and Optio X, all of which sport 5MP sensors and either 3x or 5x optical zoom lenses, and range in price from around £112 to just over £200. Only detail differences in such things as LCD monitor size, battery type and a few special features differentiate most of these cameras. Pentax leads the market in ultra-compact digital cameras so one has to assume that it knows what it’s doing, but it certainly doesn’t make the reviewer’s job particularly easy.

• Canon PowerShot SD300 Digital ELPH Camera Review   [Review, TheTechZone]
  When it came time to replace my aging Canon S400 with a new subcompact, the logical choice to go with was Canon. Canon digital cameras has always been among the best in the industry and they continue to lead the market in unit sales. The Canon PowerShot SD300 Digital ELPH is the least expensive of the three digital cameras that shares the housing the SD300 uses. If you're willing to spend more or require more resolutions than the 4 Megapixel the SD300 provides, you can test out the SD400 (5 Megapixel) and SD500 (7.1 Megapixel). Aside from higher resolution, there's really not much differences between the three cameras. The SD in this case stands for Secure Digital, the media the SD300 uses for memory. It is the use of SD media that Canon was able to make this PowerShot so small.

• Casio EX-P505 Digital Camera   [Review, TrustedReviews]
  Looking at the pictures of the EX-P505 on the right, it’s hard to get an idea of the size of it. The SLR-like design is reminiscent of large semi-pro models such as the Fujifilm FinePix S20 Pro or Nikon Coolpix 8800. The word “Pro” in the name also gives the impression that this is a big chunky camera, so it comes as a bit of a shock to discover upon opening the box that it is absolutely tiny. Measuring just 98.5mm wide and 55.5mm high, it can hide behind a large cigarette packet with room to spare. If you took a Fuji S20 Pro, scaled it down by about 20mm in every direction and reduced the weight by 285g, you’d have something the size of the EX-P505.

• Canon EOS 20D Review   [Review, PCWorld]
  The Canon EOS 20D is sure to be popular with serious photographers. The $1500 price tag for just the body of this 8.2-megapixel digital single-lens reflex camera puts it out of the reach of most amateurs (but it's still pretty inexpensive for a digital SLR). The 20D works with dozens of Canon's EF-series lenses, so people with existing lens collections will be the most tempted. The camera also comes bundled with an 18mm-to-55mm lens for $1599. Like its predecessor, the 6.3-megapixel Canon EOS 10D, the EOS 20D has a tough, black alloy body that fits firmly in the grasp of your right hand. A small monochrome LCD display up top indicates the main shooting settings, while the 1.8-inch color LCD monitor can be used to review your shots and run through the menus.

• Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W7   [Review, PCWorld]
  The $449 Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W7 offers 7.2 megapixels, which is plenty for a point-and-shoot camera. It sports a 3X optical zoom and a big, 2.5-inch LCD and forgoes extensive scene modes in favor of some manual controls. The DSC-W7 has few scene modes--just seven; some point-and-shoot cameras come with upwards of 20. This will likely disappoint newbies who want a mode for every conceivable setting (backlit subject and panorama modes, for example, are absent); also, you can't store customized camera settings. But I achieved good results using the automatic mode in difficult conditions that are sometimes given a dedicated setting, such as shooting objects behind glass and backlit subjects. In lieu of numerous modes, the DSC-W7 offers more manually adjustable settings than many point-and-shoot cameras. Though it doesn't offer a fully manual mode (where you could set the shutter speed and aperture independently), it lets you adjust the shutter speed and gives you two options for the aperture setting. This semi-manual mode compares your exposure settings with what the camera judges to be optimal to give you a bit more guidance. Also, you also can evaluate your exposures with a histogram, a helpful feature for advanced photographers.

• Olympus EVolt E-300   [Review, PCWorld]
  The Olympus EVolt E-300 digital SLR ($900 with lens, $800 otherwise) comes with a slew of creative features. Once you master them--particularly the exposure controls--you can take some truly dazzling photos. Digital photographers looking to move beyond a simple point-and-shoot model likely won't be disappointed by the EVolt E-300's strengths, though it does have some distinct weaknesses.

• Canon 20D: Raising the Bar for Prosumer Digital SLRs   [Review, AnandTech]
  Canon is shaking up the digital camera community with the release of its newest affordable SLR. The 20D features an additional 1.9 megapixels over its predecessor, yielding a large 8.2 megapixel output. The camera design is a bit different as well with support for EF-S lenses that can provide a wider angle of view. The 20D has a new 9-point auto-focus system compared to the 7-point system seen on the 10D. The 20D promises to provide lower noise than the 10D at higher ISO settings as well as a large speed improvement.

• Fujifilm Finepix A310 Review   [Review, nextgenelectronics]
  We've not had the chance to get into Digital Cameras too often here at NextGen, but at the recent CES 2004 show in Las Vegas I had the pleasure of meeting several leading companies in this industry - one of which is Fuji Film. This company has an absolute wealth of product expertise in the realm of cameras and photography - and is considered an industry leader in "film photography," distantly outpacing their rival Kodak.

• Toshiba PDR-3300 Digital Camera Review   [Review, DevHardware]
  Never judge a book by it's cover. That old adage rings true in the case of this little (well, not that little) digital camera. Packing a decent 3.2 MegaPixel CCD, this so-called entry level camera has enough advanced features to impress even the more sophisticated non-professional photographer.

• Olympus µ[mju:]400   [Review, HardwareZone]
  Olympus has long been known for their waterproofing technologies and their popular line of µ[mju:] compact film cameras. It was just a matter of time before the two were married and give birth to what we know as the µ[mju:]300; thus signaling the arrival of the world’s first metal-bodied all-weather compact digital camera. The µ[mju:]400 is the later version of the µ[mju:]300 which now boasts 4.0 million pixels for image processing, as compared to its predecessor’s 3.2 million pixels.
