A review of the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ7 digital camera has been published at Steve’s Digicams.
The review result:
“I was very happy with the FZ7. It is a robust performer that captures beautiful 6-megapixel images, possesses a generous 12x zoom range, and let’s not forget it can be easily used by every person in your household or office. With 6-megapixels, you can create stunning prints up to 13×19-inches. We feel the FZ7 will make an excellent choice for any consumer in the market for an affordable “super-zoom” model. With an MSRP of under $400 dollars, it offers a great “bang for your buck” and is sure to be a very popular model this year.”

A review of the Olympus Stylus 700, also known as the Mju 700 is available at pocket-lint.
The review result:
“Being very critical, image softness and slight lens/optical performance problems reduce captured detail. However, prints up to around 10×8 inches won’t show most of these image problems and the camera’s many great shooting features easily outweigh those drawbacks, making the Mju 700 a great value slice of photo-technology well worth a look.”

A review of the Nikon D200 has been published at dpreview.
They write:
“[…] From a build/features point of view it’s clearly ahead of the Canon EOS 20D/30D and in my opinion a step above the EOS 5D, a baby D2X. […]
It also has an air of luxury, quality and thoughtful design which other cameras sometimes miss, manufacturers mustn’t forget that many professional photographers have to ‘live’ with their camera day in day out, thinking hard about how it should feel and operate can really make a big difference. Nikon know about good design and it shows, the D200 is a great camera to get along with.”

It provides above average image results over a reasonable range of shooting conditions, an excellent ergonomic fit, a great menu interface, and excellent software package. While there are concerns with macro and night shots, and the video capture, these should not be issues for users looking for a camera in this category. I strongly recommend this camera for beginner and intermediate users.”
