leather pack, the ProPower Pack clips onto the photographer's belt
and delivers nearly ten times more shots than using typical AA Alkaline
batteries.

Just
posted is our latest review which is of the
Olympus C-2000Z, it fits into the same class of cameras
as the Nikon Coolpix 950 and the two are often compared. "When
the Olympus C-2000Z was announced it surprised some people, everyone
was expecting Olympus to release a 2 megapixel 3x zoom digicam
to match Nikon, but most expected it to follow along the lines
of the popular D600/D620L (C1400XL) digital SLR."
