When you take a look at the spec sheet of the newly revealed SP-570UZ digital camera from Olympus, you can't help but let your jaw drop. And then you drool a little. After that, you realize that it's not really a digital SLR, but it's got enough going for it that the Olympus SP-570UZ might be a perfect solution for consumers who want a little more from their picture-takers. For starters, you'll notice that this cam comes equipped with a lens that offers 20x optical zoom, totally destroying similar offerings from Canon and Sony that only do 12x optical. It's also got a 10 megapixel sensor, dual image stabilization, face detection, shadow adjustment, and perfect shot preview. Around the back, the Olympus SP-570UZ treats you to a large 2.7-inch LCD, as well as access to a series of manual controls.

Canon 40D Review

The test lab over at our review partner Digital Trends published a review of the Canon 40D Review SLR Camera. The Canon EOS 40D scored an Editor's Choice Award.

Quote from the review: "Late last year Canon released the EOS 40D, a 10-megapixel D-SLR targeted to serious photographers since it costs north of $1,000 USD for the body alone. Add a few lenses and accessories, the next thing you know youve hit $2K.
This camera is targeted for anyone looking at the older 10-megapixel Nikon D80 or the newer 12.2MP Sony alpha DSLR-A700, a camera I liked a great deal. In other words, its for those more than willing to go beyond Auto and make the most of a sophisticated imaging capture device (a.k.a camera)."

PARIS, February 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Full-year 2007 financial ...

We set ourselves three operational goals at the start of 2007. First, the recovery of our Maintenance business - which this year has recorded a growth in revenues for the first time in many years. Secondly, in our Products business, we confirmed our leading position in the High-Performance Computing (HPC) market, both through our successes in sales and our acquisition of Serviware. In addition, our partnership with IBM, with whom we have already been collaborating for more than 15 years, was enhanced in the area of open UNIX(R) servers. As a result, this is one of the longest collaborative alliances in our industry. And finally, in the Services business we have continued - for a number of quarters - to record growth rates well ahead of the market, in line with our strategy. The fundamental actions we have taken to improve the profitability of this part of the business have already resulted in an improvement of almost 2 percentage points in the gross margin."

Year-on-year comparisons have been made with the figures published for the 2006 financial year, except where specifically indicated, in which case they have been made at comparable structure(1).
