Panasonic's first WiFi-enabled camera
Panasonic Lumix TZ50
What do you call a Panasonic Lumix TZ5 with WiFi? Well, it's the new Lumix TZ50 of course! This camera is essentially the same as the TZ5 except it has WiFi... and naturally, it costs more too! The TZ50 will be available in May for $450, and no, the 'normal' TZ5 isn't going anywhere.

DPInterface turns three
Yesterday was DPInterface's 3rd anniversary and wow, look how times have changed. Our first ever review was on the Canon PowerShot S2 IS and back then, the norm was around 5 megapixels... and look what we have now, compact cameras coming close to hitting the 14 megapixel mark and digital SLRs with live view. I'm really glad to see DPInterface grow from year to year; especially the part our digital camera reviews are constantly improving thanks to feedback from all our readers out there.
Yup, I need to seriously get down on reviewing some cameras this week - things do seem a bit bare around here after several months of 'real life duties'... I've got things like the Sony Cyber-shot W120/W130 twins (pictured above), Canon's Digital Rebel XSi aka 450D and a lot more cameras waiting to be reviewed.
A really big thank you to all our readers and let's look forward to many, many more years of DPInterface.
