Canon PowerShot S1Photoxels have just reviewed the Canon Powershot S1 IS digital camera, which offers 10x image stablised zoom, 3 megapixels and high-quality 640 x 480 video at 30 frames/second with sound.

“The Canon PowerShot S1 IS is our recommended digital camera for someone starting in photography and desiring a full featured and affordable ultra zoom model.

Not only does the Canon S1 continue the PowerShot S series tradition of high-quality and easy-to-use digital cameras, it also incorporates some high-end features usually found only in more expensive prosumer models.”

FujiFilm FinePix S5100Imaging Resource have just reviewed the 4 megapixel FujiFilm FinePix S5100 digital compact camera.

“The previous Fuji FinePix 2800 and 3800 Zoom cameras were exceptional values for the money, and the updated Fuji FinePix S5100 offers the same great value with the addition of a 4.0-megapixel CCD and a longer 10x zoom lens. The S5100’s higher resolution is a welcome improvement, providing great image quality for a budget-priced digital camera, and its 10x optical zoom is excellent for distant subjects. Its color is more accurate than that of most consumer digicams, although that means it’s less saturated on bright colors than most consumer cameras. My only real complaint about its images is that they tend to be a little contrasty.”

FujiFilm FinePix E550 ZoomDigitalCameraInfo have just posted their review of the 6 megapixel Fuji FinePix E550.

“The Fuji FinePix E550 received an overall color score of 7.49, indicating strong color accuracy and naturalistic representation of tones. As you can see in the chart above, few of the produced tones are “spot on,” however, most do not stray too significantly from their ideal. The E550 earned an 8.01 overall mean color error score, which is very high. This score reflects the averaged variance from each tone and indicates the overall accuracy of the camera. The camera’s accurate representation of color is facilitated by minimal over-saturation of hues, an element of great exaggeration on many digital cameras. The subtle shades produced by the FinePix E550 result in a realistic overall representation of scene and naturalistic portrayal of color.”

Pentax Optio S40First announced back in February (and now already superceded by the Optio S50), CNET have posted their review of the Pentax Optio S40, a 4 megapixel, 3X zoom digital camera sporting a sleek aluminum design.

“Flexible automatic-exposure options, easy manual focus, and histogram-assisted exposure adjustments will please snapshooters who want to fine-tune pictures on the fly, but the Pentax Optio S40 lacks the manual controls enthusiasts look for. This ultracompact, 4-megapixel Pentax loses points for its average image quality and performance, but its biggest shortcomings are found in optical and LCD viewfinders that give you the worst of both worlds.”

Olympus C-70 ZOOMCNET have published their review of the 7 megapixel Olympus C-70 Zoom (called the Olympus C-7000 Zoom in the USA).

“Packed with more than three-quarters of a million pixels per ounce, this Olympus C-7000Z is typical of the breed of compact alternatives to a digital SLR or an EVF-equipped camera. Full manual controls; your choice of JPEG, TIFF, or raw file formats; versatile movie features; and a 5X zoom lens that takes you out to 190mm (35mm equivalent) as well as focuses to less than one inch in macro mode are among this camera’s more interesting assets. The only extras a serious photographer could wish for would be support for add-on lenses and an external flash connection; this camera is otherwise ready for just about anything you can throw at it.”

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-V3DPReview have published their review of the 7 megapixel Sony Cybershot DSC-V3.

“Image quality wise it’s perhaps a fraction behind the Canon PowerShot G6, only because the G6 has a better lens and a more sophisticated sharpening algorithm. The DSC-V3 can leave some relatively strong halo sharpening artifacts on certain types of images, dropping the sharpening down a level can help but you may then lose some detail.”

Canon PowerShot G6DPReview have today posted their review of the new 7 megapixel Canon PowerShot G6.

“Image quality was as expected very good, noise levels were low and thankfully Canon either don’t use noise reduction or it’s so subtle as not to adversely affect the image (here at dpreview we aren’t big fans of strong in-camera noise reduction). Another interesting point is the conservative approach Canon has taken in labeling its ISO sensitivity, in our tests the G6 proved to have a sensitivity range which was more like ISO 100 - 640 than the labeled ISO 50 - 400, that makes its low noise performance even better.”

Casio EXILIM Pro EX-P700DPReview have just posted their review of the 7 megapixel Casio EXILIM Pro EX-P700.

“Image quality was very good, although to our eye it fell just short of being good enough to influence the overall camera rating to a ‘Highly Recommended’ (but it really wasn’t that far off). Casio need to cool off on image processing too, their noise reduction was just there all the time and you can see it (not good). In use it’s a fairly nice camera to shoot with, I never really found myself waiting for it or wanting it to do more, and the final outcome was nearly always what I wanted.”

Olympus C-70 ZOOMDPReview have published their review of the 7 megapixel Olympus C-70 Zoom (called the Olympus C-7000 Zoom in the USA).

“The C-7000 is so unlike C-xxxx cameras of old it’s almost worth Olympus using a new notation to distinguish it. It’s considerably smaller and lighter, much thinner and yet no lighter on features. Despite its compact proportions it’s probably the most comfortable of the compact seven megapixel digital cameras thanks to its stubby rubber front grip.”

Pentax Optio750ZDPReview has today reviewed the 7 megapixel Pentax Optio750Z.

“It’s odd but there’s something strangely appealing about the 750Z’s retro styling, the faux leather front and chrome piping, it’s almost comforting. Don’t be fooled though this is one seriously modern camera with a huge range of functionality, both prosumer and technology based. Indeed there isn’t a huge amount the 750Z can’t do, it’s fully loaded, and that can sometimes make it a bit confusing.”

Panasonic  DMC-FZ20Globetechnology have published a review of the new Panasonic DMC-FZ20 digital camera, which has a 12x optical zoom lens from Leica.

“In the end, the Lumix FZ-20 is still a fantastic camera. The picture quality is stunning for a five megapixel model, and the optical image stabilization quickly becomes indispensable. The move towards more manual control will certainly impress the more pro-oriented shutterbugs, and even though it’s no replacement for a digital SLR model, it’s certainly a great backup model. Now if only they could get the price down…”

Casio EXILIM Card EX-Z50DCResource have just reviewed the new slimline 5 megapixel Casio EXILIM Card EX-Z55 digital camera.

“Overall, the Casio Exilim EX-Z55 is a good “go-anywhere” point-and-shoot camera that holds up well against the likes of the Canon PowerShot SD300, Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX7, and the Sony DSC-T1. While I haven’t tested it yet, the Pentax Optio S5i shares the lens and many of the internals of the Z55. The camera does its best work outdoors, where it takes very nice photos, save for some blurriness around the edges of the frame. Indoors you’ll be frustrated with an LCD that only “gains up” in a few of the scene modes (most of which aren’t appropriate for indoor flash shots), poor low light focusing, redeye, and a fairly weak flash. But for a compact camera for vacation photos the Z55 fits the bill.”
