TrustedReviews have published a review of the HP Photosmart M417, a 5 megapixel digicam with a 1.8 inch LCD screen and 3x optical zoom lens.
“But it’s picture quality, always the final criterion for any digital camera, that is unfortunately the M417’s Achilles heel. Although the results from the Adaptive Lighting technology are impressive from a technical standpoint, the actual images can become very noisy as the camera increases the gain on the CCD to catch shadow details. Other images shot without the Adaptive Lighting also show signs of excessive noise reduction, with blurred out fine detail and some distinctly odd colour artifacts. Images containing bright highlights also have an unacceptable level of purple fringing.”

DPNow have a great report from the European press launch of the Samsung Pro815. You may have heard of the Pro815 - it’s an 8 megapixel digital camera with a 15x optical zoom lens and a 3.5” LCD screen.
“One thing Samsung hasn’t implemented in the Pro815 is image stabilisation, though they have revealed that they are working on such technology for new models next year. However, the Pro815 has an automatic compensation feature to help with long telephoto shots that temporarily boosts ISO in order to raise the shutter speed and so reduce motion blur. Whether or not this works adequately, considering the inevitable degradation in image quality caused by an ISO boost, remains to be seen.”

Steves Digicams have reviewed the new Nikon Coolpix 7900, a 7 megapixel digital camera featuring a 2.0-inch LCD screen, new graphical user interface and a 3x Zoom-Nikkor ED lens equivalent to 38-114mm lens in 35mm format.
“Shooting performance was good for a camera in this class. Power up to first image captured measured 2.6 seconds. Shutter lag measured less than 1/10 of a second when pre-focused and 4/10 second including autofocus; add about 1/10 second to those times if you are using the LCD as a viewfinder because of the delay in presenting the live image. The shot to shot delay averaged about 1.7 seconds between frames without the use of the flash and between 2 and 6 seconds with the flash, depending on subject distance. When battery is not fully charged, the LCD goes blank while the flash recharges.”

Steves Digicams have posted their review of the new 5 megapixel Nikon Coolpix 5900 digital camera.
“Despite the 5900’s small size, the ergonomics are good. The well-shaped handgrip allows for a comfortable feel even in my large hands, and the controls are well organized for ease of use but located so that they won’t be accidentally activated. Nikon placed only a limited number of buttons on the 5900’s body. As a result, many functions that are accessed directly via dedicated buttons on other cameras are implemented in the 5900’s menu system. This compromise in the 5900’s design allowed the production of a very compact camera, but its operation seems cumbersome at times.”

“The Nikon 7900’s Auto Mode is more like Programmed Auto, allowing you to set ISO and dial in exposure compensation. It also allows the more advanced amateur photographer to set manual White Balance (WB), move the AF area to one of 99 positions, select image sharpening, image saturation, and even bracket the WB. For those desiring P&S simplicity, the Nikon 7900 has lots of useful Scene Modes to automate the most common picture-taking situations.”

DCResource have published their review of the new Sony DSC-H1 digital camera. The DSC-H1 has a 12x optical zoom lens (equivalent to 36-432 millimeters), 5 megapixel CCD and 2.5 inch LCD screen.
“Overall the photo quality on the DSC-H1 is very good, kept from excellence by above average purple fringing levels. While most ultra zooms suffer from this annoyance (see the flag pole in this picture for an example), the DSC-H1 has it worse than the competition. In most cases using a smaller aperture (higher F-number) reduces this, but I didn’t find this to be the case on the H1. Even at F8.0 the purple fringing was still very visible, and not much better than with the aperture wide open. Purple fringing won’t really affect your print quality unless you’re printing huge, and you probably won’t even notice it unless you’re viewing at 100% on your computer screen.”

DigitalCameraReview have published their review of the 7 megapixel Canon PowerShot S70.
“The S70 represents an overall excellent camera that makes a few compromises. It’s strength lie in the overall flexibility of the camera and its ability to compete even with bargain dSLR cameras while remaining fairly compact. The S70’s main weakness is the low light and nighttime performance especially for medium distance group photos or portrait shots and may require use of external flash or lighting units (although you can compensate a bit with a tripod and optimizing the settings in manual mode).”

“Olympus has brought an attractive camera on the market with this Olympus Camedia C7070 Wide Zoom that also has an appealing price tag on it.
