With PMA and the steady stream of new camera announcements from January to March over, things are about to become busy – summer is coming, school semesters are finishing, everyone’s getting busy, going on vacations, shopping (well, maybe less so because of the current economy…). But rest assured there will be reviews of your favorite, most sought after digital cameras here on DPInterface!

To those who wrote in to me or left comments on the site, you’ve been heard. I’ll try my best in getting out reviews of digital cameras which are popular among our readers; and of course, those requested by readers. Hey, it’s not too late to “ask for a camera review”, leave a comment here! Again, I’ll try my best – I can’t make guarantees because I’ve got a lot of cameras lined up here at the moment.

And in case you’ve missed them, here are some of the latest reviews DPInterface has published recently:

• Canon PowerShot A480 – An entry-level compact camera
• Nikon Coolpix S630 – 7X zoom, very good ergonomics and design
• Canon PowerShot SX1 IS – CMOS, 20X zoom, 4 FPS burst, full manual controls and RAW
• Olympus Stylus 9000 – 10X optical zoom, size of a typical compact camera
• Olympus Stylus Tough 6000 – Waterproof, shockproof, freezeproof

Check them out! Thank you all, for being readers of DPInterface and also for your patience.

Olympus announced their new E450 digital SLR today which is a very minor upgrade to last year’s E420. The improvements are three Art Filters, a new processor (TruePic III Plus) and a new LCD panel. Everything else remains the same as its predecessor, including its relatively compact (For an SLR) design.
