After a long and busy week, I was still able to slip in some time to write my review of the Canon PowerShot SX20 IS. The PowerShot SX20 is an evolutionary upgrade to last year’s SX10, featuring 12 megapixels, a flip-out and twist LCD screen, full manual controls and now, a 720p HD movie mode. You can also check out photos taken straight out of the camera in the Canon PowerShot SX20 IS photo gallery. What are you waiting for?

Wacom recently updated their Bamboo line of consumer tablets. These new tablets feature multi-touch operation and allows input from both fingers and pens. Aimed at consumers who have more ‘digital lifestyles’, I also think that photographers and artists will be especially overjoyed by the fact that Wacom’s new Bamboo tablets (which include the Bamboo Pen, Bamboo Touch, Bamboo Fun and Bamboo Craft) are affordably priced, feature upgraded pressure sensitivity and can be operated using fingers for ‘leisure moments’ when you’re taking a break from Adobe Illustrator. Expect to see Wacom’s new Bamboo’s on store shelves soon.

Updated! (September 21st)
Reviews of full-production/retail cameras are our main focus here at DPInterface, but I knew I had to make an exception when I was given the chance to preview Panasonic’s Lumix GF1 camera earlier this month. This is Panasonic’s third Micro Four Thirds digital camera and their first non-SLR form factor camera in the Lumix G line.
With plenty of reaction when hints of the compact GF1 first came out in August and overwhelming interest in the camera when it became official two weeks ago, here’s an in-depth preview of the Panasonic Lumix GF1! As usual, you can also check out full-sized photos taken straight out of the camera in the Panasonic Lumix GF1 photo gallery too.
*BRAD: Special thanks to Panasonic who made this preview possible. Normally it’s only “heavyweight” publications that get their hands-on new cameras first, but Panasonic was nice enough to give DPInterface an opportunity to write about this highly talked-about camera.
