Jeff at DC Resource has posted two new camera reviews, one for the Fujifilm FinePix 6900 Zoom which he concludes:

"The Fuji FinePix 6900 Zoom is a high resolution, "pro-styled" camera with a lot of features, yet it's easy to use. If you want basic point-and-shoot action, you can just pop it in Auto mode and forget the rest. If you're leaning towards the professional end of things, you can use manual controls or even an external flash. The photo quality was excellent, with vivid color reproduction and high res files."

And his second review is of a pre-production Casio QV-2900UX of which he had this to say:

"From the specification sheet, the Casio QV-2900UX sounds like a sure-fire winner: 2.1 Megapixel, 8X optical zoom, full manual controls, Microdrive support, and BestShot mode for under . While I appreciate all those very nice features, there are two negatives that are deal breakers for me: the lack of an optical viewfinder, and the less than stellar photo quality."

Phil at DP Review has posted his Kodak DCS 760 review of the flagship SLR in the Kodak Professional lineup. His review includes a head to head comparison of the DCS 760 and Nikon D1X. Phil's conclusion:

"Kodak have learned their lesson (the hard way), this time well aware of the threat from the D1x and have come up with a camera (clearly based on the 660) which is more than capable of taking it on.

You really can't use the DCS 760 and not like it. It's a solid, reliable, fast, high resolution professional tool.

Downside... The body has been around for a few years and is on the large side, the sensor is starting to show its age, and you just can't ignore the blue channel noise (at least I can't). The DCS 760 is most definetly the best Kodak DCS yet but I still feel it's just not quite enough to beat Nikon's D1x."
