The newly announced Olympus SP-550 UZ seems to be all set to kick some digital camera butt. On paper, the specifications look really impressive: 7.1-megapixel. 18x optical zoom, 28-504mm (35mm equivalent). 28mm is GREAT on the wide end (for a digicam class camera) and 504mm is long enough for most applications. Dual-Image Stablization, high ISO (up to 6,400!) [...]

I believe all you photography enthusiasts out there agrees that Fujifilm’s SuperCCD sensors are one of the better DSLR sensors out there.

Successor to the wildly popular Canon EOS 350D is finally here.
