Future cameras from Sony, Olympus, Pentax at CP+

The Camera and Photo Imaging Show (CP+) is on now in Japan. Our lucky colleagues at CNET Asia take us on a tour of some of this year's most anticipated cameras, and throw in a few surprises along the way.

Olympus Mju Tough 8010

The Tough 8010 is now the world's most rugged compact digital camera, waterproof to 10m, shockproof to 2m, snowproof and crushproof. It also now has a 5x optical zoom and a 14 megapixel sensor.

Reviews

Nikon Coolpix P100

There's a lot to like about the Nikon Coolpix P100, but you'll need to keep your photo quality expectations in check to really enjoy it.
Olympus SP-800UZ

Olympus continues to push its cameras into record-breaking territory with the 30x optical zoom SP-800UZ.
Olympus E-PL1

The E-PL1 is the entry-level Micro Four Thirds camera from Olympus' Pen series. It now has an integrated flash, which will please those who missed it on the E-P1 and E-P2.
Olympus Mju 7020

We're a bit ambivalent about the Olympus Mju 7020. It's got a wide-angle lens and a relatively long zoom at 7x, but misses out on good picture quality and class-leading features like HD movie recording.
Pentax X70

Slow performance and photo quality concerns stop the otherwise very good Pentax X70 from being a winning superzoom camera.
Olympus E-450

Olympus has announced yet another camera to contend for the title of the world's smallest dSLR. It's not much of an evolution from the E-420, but has a couple of extra features that have trickled down from its older siblings.
Olympus SP-590 UZ

Aside from a debatable, but useful, 26x zoom lens, there's little that's notable about the Olympus SP-590 UZ.
Olympus Mju Tough 6000

Though we tried to like the Tough 6000 thanks to its candybar styling, it's a fairly lacklustre camera in the performance stakes.
