AF-S DX Nikkor 35mm F/1.8G

Dpreview has reviewed the new Nikon AF-S Nikkor 35mm 1:1.8G DX lens that Nikon announced back in February 2009. The lens is only compatible for DX-mount DSLR camera bodies and can not be used on the Full Frame cameras from Nikon.

Andy Westlake of Dpreview ends up giving the Nikon lens a “Highly Recommended” rating because it is able to produce excellent photos when you stop it down a little. It also has very good and fast auto focus.
The only downsides that the Nikon lens is a bit soft wide open, and it got some purple fringing and chromatic aberrations.
Seems like an excellent prime lens for Nikon photographers on a budget.

Fujifilm FinePix S2000HD

The website Lets Go Digital has reviewed a “hybrid” megazoom camera from Fujifilm, the Fujifilm FinePix S2000HD with 15x optical zoom and 10 megapixel sensor.

Some key features for the Fujifilm FinePix S2000HD:
-15x optical zoom (27.6-414mm, f/3.5-5.4)
-10 megapixel sensor
-2.7″ LCD screen
-Dual image stabilization
-High definition 16:9 format suitable for full wide-screen display

Lets Go Digital ends up giving the Fujifilm compact camera a “Recommended 74%” rating due to the fact that camera is able to take good pictures at low ISO values. However at higher ISO levels the Fujifilm lacks a bit compared to cameras from competing brands. Seems like a fine camera, but maybe there are more interesting ones out there from Canon, Nikon or Panasonic.
