Canon EOS 550D & 18-135mm Kit

The Canon EOS 550D has been around for a little while now, but we got our hands on the 18-135mm IS Kit, thanks to the folks at ImagingWorld.com.au

We've given it a bit of a work out over the last week or so, and here's what we've come up with.

Casio G1

Ever since the G1 was announced my adventurous side stirred: here’s a Point & Shoot camera that will go the rugged distance with you. Over land or under water. And it will give you some very memorable images if you remember to give the lens a wipe every now and then to clear the dust. Or just rinse it.

Yes, the shock resistant G1 is yet another ‘funtographic’ device from the Casio stable and as we’ve observed in previous reviews, Casio puts a lot of fun features into their compact cameras. Last time we reviewed the super high speed member of the Exilim tribe and today we have a quick look at the G1.

Ricoh P10 modular lens

As you may remember, some months ago we reviewed the new modular Ricoh GXR semi professional camera with quite good results. 

We now have one of Ricoh’s latest released “add on” lenses, the P10, on our desk to assess its performance.

Casio Exilim EX-FH100

We’re losing count here at how many Casio Point & Shoot cameras we have reviewed over the years: at least half a dozen and, not surprisingly, every new camera that lands on our desk is a great improvement over the previous one with new features and better quality. So it is with the EX-FH100.
Its High-Speed features are the prime attraction here: up to a 1000 fps is possible (with a pretty severe resolution penalty). And if you can accuse Casio of one thing it is that they cater for folks who want to have real fun with their cameras! Not a bad thing either...
So what were my findings in the short time I played with this super Slo-Mo unit?

Camdapter

Taking a step away from digital gadgets, today I get to play with a hand strap solution for DSLR cameras.  The Camdapter has flown under my radar until my brother found them on the web.  With thanks to Jim at Camdapter, I get to try it out on behalf of DigitalReviews.

Pentax X70

With the reputation Pentax holds with its K-Series of DSLRs, I was more than intrigued to get my hands on the Pentax X70 and its ‘ultra zoom’ capabilities. This 12 megapixel, 24x optical zoom yet surprisingly lightweight beauty seemed to provide an ideal solution for someone in my position – a bridge between the compact digital camera and the DSLR.

Being someone that has always taken a liking to photography but have never had the time to break into the DSLR market, this review has been written for those like me – people that are ready to move up from a compact digital camera but may not have the skills or funds for a DSLR.

So how did this camera go?

Our original intention was to do two separate co-related reviews on the two Ricoh family cameras, but we have decided that readers will get more value from the two reviews if we intertwine the comparison as we go.

That said, in the CX2 we are comparing what we initially believe to be a very compact, no-frills, point and shoot camera with the GXR, an extremely high end modular semi professional camera that has similar capabilities to a high end SLR.

If you are a professional photographer, then this review is not really for you due to other than looking at the specification comparison the rest of the review would seem to be below your expertise.  It was always my intention to review these two cameras from the average person on the street’s perspective.  So rather than get bogged down in F stops, apertures etc, we will cover the cameras from an ability to get what you want by setting either camera to “Auto” as we believe that is how the majority of people would use most cameras.

So with both the cameras sent to us by www.Tasco.com.au. in hand let’s take them into the field for comparison.
