Fuji FinePix S5600 review at Pocket-lint

fuji finepix s5200  reviewA review of the Fuji FinePix S5600, also known as the S5200, digital camera is available at Pocket-lint.

This is the reviewer’s opinion:
“The 5600 provides just enough in terms of new kit and more advanced shooting options to make it a worthy upgrade of the 5500. The EVF is a nightmare, as was macro focusing, but the overall package, with its improved image noise suppressions and manual controls make it worthy of scrutiny if you’ve got £299.99 to spare on a digital camera.”

ricoh caplio r3  reviewA review of the Ricoh Caplio R3 digital camera has been posted at PhotographyBlog.

This is the reviewer’s opinion:
“A camera that can easily fit in your pocket, yet has a massive 7x wide-angle optical zoom lens. A camera that has a potentially winning combination of an anti-shake system and an extensive ISO range of 64-800. […]
The Ricoh Caplio R3 is one of the most usable, intuitive and well-designed digital cameras that I have ever reviewed, but at the same time, however, the images that it produces are some of the worst that I have seen. […]”

nikon coolpix p2  reviewA review of the Nikon Coolpix P2 digital camera is available at DigitalCameraReview.

The conclusion of the review:
“The Nikon P2 is an excellent camera with a long features list, large LCD, above average movie mode, and wonderful wireless. With the exception of some hiccups getting wireless in gear and a strange and non-intuitive interface, I can recommend the P2 for its simplicity and picture quality.”
