ABC Local review of the Nikon P2 Wi-Fi digital camera:
"Wi-fi is the unique feature of this camera but first and foremost it's a solid 5.1 Megapixel digital shooter. The P2 is compact and feels solid in your hands. It has a 2.5" screen on the back. That's a great size and the screen is nice and clear too. The camera is very responsive to the menu buttons and the shutter button.We like the P2. It's a nice camera with the addition of Wi-Fi. The list price is $399 but you won't find it selling for anything higher than $299. In fact we found it for less than $250."

The Kodak Easyshare Z700 digital camera has been welcomed by many. Here's a snippet from the reviews in the December 2005 What Digital Camera Magazine:
"Very nearly delivers on its magnificent specification; very nearly, but not quite. The Z700 is not the speediest camera in the world to focus but does so with some assurance. In terms of image quality and performance it's not quite on par with its specs."
Pros: Great specification at a great price.
Cons: A bit lethargic, slightly blocky images.
Overall Score: 82%

Throwing your digital camera in the air at night, with the shutter set to a long exposure, is producing some nifty artwork.
The Times (London) reports on the new craze: "
Ryan Gallagher, a 28-year-old theatrical lighting specialist from Texas kick-started the trend last August. Unable to sleep one night, Gallagher took his low-grade digital camera and experimented by waving it at some city lights while set to a long exposure. So intrigued was he with the results that he decided to display them on Flickr."
"Part of the addiction comes from the fact that the results are always a surprise," Gallagher said. "Each picture is like opening a little black box into a world we cannot see."
Be warned, though, eventually you'll drop the camera, so don't use that new Canon 5D. An old VGA model is recommended.
