Fur or fins: Snapfish expands with Rabbit Photo

When CNET.com.au talked with HP about the Australian launch of its Snapfish online photo service in December, we were told of a partnership with Rabbit Photo where users could elect to pick up their prints at the Rabbit Photo outlet of their choice instead of waiting for their prints to be delivered by post.

Initially only available through a few stores, the Snapfish and Rabbit partnership has expanded so that you may now collect photos you upload at any of the 70 Rabbit Photo stores in Australia.

At launch it was anticipated that the in-store pick-up price would be AU$0.29 per photo, but HP yesterday confirmed that the per print price through Rabbit Photo would in fact be AU$0.39 -- 20 cents higher than if you opt for the mail delivery option. It is a steep premium for those who simply can't wait the 2-3 days for the prints to arrive by mail, but of course you will save the expense of postage.

Rabbit has also launched its own co-branded Web site for the online ordering service at www.rabbitmagic.com.au, but it is identical to Snapfish with a different logo. It offers the same storage, editing and photo sharing options.

The Olympus E-420 is a good beginner's dSLR with an extremely compact footprint that should go well with travellers. Just don't expect any fancy features for this budget model.
Nikon Coolpix P60

Stolid rather than sexy, competent rather than classy, the boxy Nikon Coolpix P60 is a belt-and-braces, real ale-supping point-and-shoot. The cool kids won't be impressed, but we're always glad to see a compact that gives such reliable images

The Kodak EasyShare Z8612 IS has trimmed off every gram of fat, but the 12x zoom lens overbalances the camera. It oozes understated élan and even has some clever features, but the performance isn't quite there.

Nikon D700

Boasting many of the internal bits from the professional-spec (and professionally priced) D3, the D700 is an (almost) affordable full-frame dSLR. It faces up to the Canon 5D with a 12.1-megapixel CMOS sensor, 51 auto-focussing points, 5fps or 8fps shooting depending on battery and mini-HDMI out.
Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W300

Although we like the features and image quality of the W300, it lacks a wide-angle lens which has become a must-have for a premium shooter. While other alternatives in the market may not offer as high a capture resolution as the Sony, they do make up with other features.
Nikon Coolpix P80

One of the better 18x megazooms, nevertheless you should consider the Nikon Coolpix P80's sluggish performance before you commit to it.
Canon Digital IXUS 90 IS

When a camera is this good-looking and takes respectable pictures, we'll forgive the lack of features.
Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX520

Besides the start-up time and stylus, it is hard to find fault with the FX520. Image quality has also improved and we really like the features that are incorporated with the touchscreen.
