DigitalCamerInfo have posted their first impressions of the 5 megapixel Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T33 digital camera.
“Another lean Cyber-shot T-model made its debut at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. The DSC-T33 will go on sale in March for $450 (USD)—fifty bucks cheaper than its vanished predecessor, the Sony Cyber-shot T3. The T3 was announced last August, but never hit the market in the United States. Sony hopes to make it up with the Sony Cyber-shot T-33, which is nearly identical to the T3. Both cameras have 5.1 megapixels on their 1/2.4-inch CCDs. Both models share the same shooting options, 2.5-inch LCD, and 3x optical zoom lens. The only difference is the size.”

CNET have today reviewed the new 7 megapixel Sony DSC-P150 digital compact camera.
“If this camera were a DVD, we’d rate it an enjoyable flick but skimpy on the special features. Sony crams 7 megapixels into a compact package that delivers good photo quality, great performance, and outstanding battery life but includes none of the extras found in other, similarly priced 7-megapixel models.”

DIWA member website LetsGoDigital have just posted their review of the new 8 megapixel Nikon Coolpix 8800.
“In general the image quality is perfect, visible is the rich detail rendition due to the high resolution. The quality of the 10x optical zoom lens is undisputable and is in spite of its minor beauty spots like chromatic aberration at wide angle, a valuable tool on this camera. Working with an electronic viewfinder can differ from camera to camera and ones experiences with it can differ completely. Sometimes it is utterly annoying, in fact diminishing the ease of use, and sometimes it’s incredibly satisfying, like we experienced when working with the Coolpix 8800.”

“If you want a small, easily pocketed, yet stylish digicam the Konica Minolta DiMAGE Xg might be the one for you.

The Xg is the latest update and at 20mm thin and weighing in at only 120g, it’s remarkably small and stylish. It betters the original for sheer exuberance in its red livery.”

CNET have just reviewed the 3.2 megapixel Pentax Optio 30, which is a simple digital camera aimed at photography beginners.
“Our test photos were nicely saturated, with generally accurate colors and good exposure. The flash powered down nicely for most macro shots, although we noticed a hot spot here and there. A little haloing occurred around high-contrast edges, but we noticed little purple fringing. Transitions between highlights and shadows could be a little smoother, but that will make little difference in 4x6-inch snapshot prints.”
