PCWorld’s Top 10 Advanced Digital Cameras

Mark Goldstein | Digital Compact Cameras | May 17, 2004 | 2 Comments

PCWorld have just published a comparitive roundup of what they consider to be the top-10 advanced digital cameras. There are a few strange choices in the list…

“The 8-megapixel race is on: Canon, Nikon, and Olympus join Sony in offering high-end consumer models with 8-megapixel CCDs. So far the Olympus C-8080 is our pick of the group (we’ve yet to test the Canon PowerShot Pro1), with top-notch image-quality scores and easy-to-use controls. Nikon’s Coolpix 8700 produced photos as fine as the C-8080’s and has a longer zoom range, but it’s harder to use. In the “If you have to ask the price, you can’t afford it” category, Leica’s classic-looking Digilux 2 is designed for the purist photographer. Its unique feature: a built-in bounce flash.”

Some odd choices indeed, of course what else could be expected from a computer magazine. They are all about the consumer priced tech side and nothing about the actual photographic quality.

That's why I rarely link to their camera reviews - too techy and usually very short.
