Imaging Resource have reviewed the Olympus Mju 410 Digital camera. The Mju 410 is encased in a full metal body with a silver finish, offers 4 megapixels and a 3x optical zoom. The Mju 410 is the first Mju Digital model to feature TruePic Turbo, a new image processor which sharpens image clarity, contrast and colour for life-like results.
“The Olympus Stylus film cameras are currently among the best selling point-and-shoot models available, widely popular across a range of consumer experience levels. Besides its user-friendly interface, compact design and good picture quality, its excellent (and unusual) water sealing makes the Stylus 410 an appealing choice for a “take anywhere” camera. Battery life is excellent as well, and its color is very appealing. We’d be very enthusiastic about the camera were it not for what appears to be very aggressive anti-noise processing that drastically cuts image detail in areas of low subject contrast. Even in 4x6 prints, the effect is quite noticeable, and really makes it hard for us to recommend this model. To our minds, a much better choice for the money is the excellent little Olympus Stylus Verve. The Verve shares the Stylus 410’s water-resistance, to our eye has better build quality (and a very stylish case), and snaps very sharp, colorful pictures, all for only a few dollars more than the Stylus 410 model at retail.”

“When it comes to the design, you’ll either love it or hate it. The S5500 looks a lot bigger in publicity photos than it does in real life. When you get it out of the box, the first impression is just how tiny the thing is. It looks like a camera version of those Micro Machine toy cars that were popular a few years ago, as though full-size features like the handgrip and lens had somehow been grafted onto a half-scale model of an SLR. However once you get over the initial fit of giggles and actually pick the thing up you’ll discover that it feels a lot bigger than it looks.”

DCResource are first off the blocks with their review of the Canon Digital IXUS 700 digital camera (also known as the Canon PowerShot SD500 Digital ELPH).
“With the PowerShot SD500 Digital ELPH, Canon has delivered an excellent ultra-compact, high resolution digital camera that’s one of the best out there. It takes excellent quality 7.1 Megapixel photos that rival those from the higher-end PowerShot G6, though purple fringing and corner softness are issue (though minor, thankfully). While it’s a bit chunkier than the other SD series cameras, the SD500 is still a very small metal camera that can go anywhere with ease. Build quality is very good, save for the usual cheap plastic door over the memory card and battery compartment. The SD500 has a nicely sized 2.0” LCD display that gains up in low light situations (finally!). I’m also glad to see that Canon has done away with the optical viewfinder on the SD cameras.”

Steves Digicams have published a review of the 6 megapixel Casio QV-R62.
“The third “QV-R” series model we have seen from Casio (as of 3/2005), the QV-R62 includes all of the features found on its predecessors (the QV-R40 and the QV-R51), but offers some new improvements like a higher resolution 6-megapixel imager and some new creative scene modes. This easy to use point-n-shoot allows beginners to capture high-quality images without any fuss, while still offering plenty of adjustability to satisfy the creative urges of the intermediate user.”

Steves Digicams have published their review of the 3 megapixel Canon PowerShot A510 digital camera.
“There’s a lot to like about the Canon PowerShot A510. With automatic and scene modes for the beginner, and manual, shutter-priority and aperture-priority modes for the advanced user, it has appealing features for every member of your family. It is small and light enough that you’ll want to have it with you all the time, never missing a photo op. The A510’s image quality is excellent, with sufficient resolution for 8x10-inch prints. Fill out your kit with a 512MB SD memory card and two pair of AA NiMH batteries and you’ll be good to go for shooting an all day family event.”

Steves Digicams have published their review of the 4 megapixel Canon PowerShot A520 digital camera.
“The A520’s outdoor results were excellent, with consistent exposures, rich color saturation and very good sharpness. The 35mm wide angle end of the zoom range is useful for scenic images, while its 140mm telephoto focal length will bring your distant subjects closer than most competing cameras. The LCD has no brightness control or anti-reflective coating, but was nevertheless useful as a viewfinder in most outdoor conditions. You will find the optical viewfinder preferable on the brightest of days, however.”

Cameratown have today reviewed the entyr-level HP Photosmart M407, a 4 megapixel camera with a 3x optical zoom, 1.8 inch LCD screen and the usual HP emphasis on ease-of-use.
“With a suggested selling price of $199, the M407 is fairly inexpensive, but not necessarily a bargain. Consider the Canon Powershot A85, one of last year’s hottest models. With its recent price reduction to $199, the Powershot A85 offers better image quality, and a few more manual control options when compared to the M407. The final decision is, of course, yours. The HP takes decent pictures, is simple to use, and isn’t as “chunky” as some of the other cameras in this price range (including the Canon Powershot A85).”

Imaging Resource have reviewed the 5 megapixel Canon PowerShot SD20 Digital ELPH.
“Good image quality and user-friendly design are synonymous with the ELPH name, and are the reasons why the line is so popular with a wide range of consumers. Extending the brand name’s excellent reputation in the film world, members of the digital ELPH series have always impressed me with their quality and versatility. The Canon SD20 updates last year’s SD10 model, with higher resolution and a minor revamp of the feature set. It retains the SD10’s ultra-sleek styling and subcompact size, but there are tradeoffs, such as a fixed focal length lens (no zoom), shorter battery life, and no optical viewfinder.”

DCResource have published a double review of the 4 megapixel Canon PowerShot A520 and A510 digital cameras.
“First, the good news. Despite being smaller than their predecessors, the A510 and A520 offer a bigger zoom lens. Where most cameras have 3X zoom lenses, the A-series models offer a 4X zoom. Not satisfied with that? The cameras support wide-angle, telephoto, and close-up conversion lenses. A new optional feature on these models is an external slave flash, which attaches to the side of the camera. For people who take a lot of flash shots, this may be worth the $100 price. While the A-series cameras offer a new “zoom flash” feature, that doesn’t necessarily translate into better flash range. It does, however, focus the light on the subject while you’re shooting at the telephoto end of the lens.”

DCResource have posted their review of the 5 megapixel Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T33 digital camera.
” The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T33, like its predecessor, is best suited for outdoor photos, where it does a very good job. Indoor photos will leave much to be desired, thanks to a weak flash, lots of redeye, and an LCD which is too dark to see in those conditions. The T33 is a very stylish, ultra-thin metal camera that will attract attention wherever it goes. The design changes since the T1 are for the better: no more sliding door on the front, and the LCD is now much more usable outdoors. Like with the T1, you need to keep an eye on your fingers, as they can easily block the lens, flash, or microphone.”
