CNET are first out of the blocks with a review of the new weatherproof Olympus Stylus 760. This is a 7.1 megapixel digital camera with 3x zoom (37-111mm), Dual Image Stabilization and a slim-line metal body.
“The Stylus 760’s performance was decent, but not remarkable. After a startup time of 2.1 seconds, the camera could take a shot every two seconds thereafter. With the onboard flash enabled, that time increased to three seconds per shot. Shutter lag was a brisk 0.5 second in bright light, though shooting targets in dim light more than tripled the lag to 1.7 seconds.”

DCResource have reviewed the Sony W55 camera, which offers 7.2 megapixels, Real Imaging Processor, ISO 1000 and a 3x optical zoom lens.
“While not a giant leap over its predecessor, the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W55 is still a capable, ultra-compact camera that I can recommend to just about everyone. It offers a stylish design, great performance, good photo quality, and a low price. If you shoot in mixed or unusual lighting, or take a lot of long exposures I wouldn’t recommend it, but for everyone else it’s worth a look.”

Steves Digicams have reviewed the 7.1 megapixel Canon PowerShot A550, which has a 2 inch LCD screen, and 4x zoom lens.
“The A550 is quite the performer, as long as you’re not using the flash. From power up to first image was captured measured just 1.5 seconds, and waking the camera from sleep mode to image capture took less than a second. Shutter lag, the delay between depressing the shutter button and capturing an image, was less than 1/10 of a second when pre-focused, and only 2/10 of a second including autofocus. “

“Like the A430, the A460’s image quality results were excellent, especially for such an affordably priced camera. In fact it sometimes rivals that of more expensive cameras with similar resolution.”

DigicamReview have reviewed the new Pentax Optio W20, a compact digital camera featuring waterproof performance with a slim, flat body design.
“The results from the Pentax Optio W20 are fairly typical - noise at the higher ISO settings - and less detail as the camera uses fairly heavy noise reduction. For noise free images it’s best to stick with the lower ISO settings, and only use the higher ISO settings (or blur reduction mode) when it’s absolutely necessary. The higher ISO settings may be useful it you want a quick photo, and aren’t too concerned about quality, and may be useful if you only intend to print at 6 x 4 inches.”
