Panasonic Lumix DMC-LZ5

Tuesday, February 28th, 2006

Photography Blog reviews the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LZ5:
“The Panasonic Lumix DMC-LZ5 is a versatile, fairly compact camera that is positioned between the ultra-compact, 3x zoom cameras and the bigger, SLR-like ultra-zoom models. The DMC-LZ5 is designed to be a take-everywhere, do almost everything well kind of camera, and for the most part it succeeds in this […]

Fuji Finepix F11 Review

Tuesday, February 21st, 2006

DCviews reviews the Fuji Finepix F11.
“The Finepix F11 is a fairly compact and durable camera. With the exception of the plastic battery door and tripod mount it is entirely made of metal. Usability is excellent with nice positive controls that are easy to operate. While the camera can be used by the whole family as […]

Olympus E-500 review

Tuesday, February 21st, 2006

Camera Labs reviews the Olympus E-500:
“The Olympus E-500 is a mixed bag with plenty of things going for it, but equally a number of aspects which could be considered deal-breakers by some photographers. Highlights of course include the SSWF anti-dust system, an impressively high level of information and control for a budget body, along with […]

Fujifilm FinePix S5200 review

Tuesday, February 21st, 2006

Steve’s Digicams reviews the Fujifilm FinePix S5200:
“The FinePix S5200 is styled after and handles like a SLR camera and offers mid-level digital photographer 5.2 million pixels combined with both point-and-shoot simplicity as well as a more advanced manual feature set including continuous shooting, continuous auto- focus, shutter priority and aperture priority modes. This model offers […]

Olympus SP-350 review

Tuesday, February 21st, 2006

Imaging Resource reviews the Olympus SP-350:
“The 8.0-megapixel, 3x-zoom Olympus SP-350 is an excellent performer where it counts: printed image quality. It has a wealth of features in a surprisingly compact body; and though it’s not the most attractive design you’ll start to like it right away when you shoot with it. Featuring a full […]

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ7 review

Tuesday, February 21st, 2006

Digital Camera Info reviews the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ7:
T”he FZ7 should attract a loyal following. It’s easy and fun to use. It’s versatile, and cheap for what you get. In our experience, no one does image stabilization better on compact cameras than Panasonic up to this point, and we give the company credit for its work […]

Canon EOS 5D review

Sunday, February 12th, 2006

Shutterbug reviews the Canon EOS 5D:
“From the e-mail I receive and the chatter I read on the Internet, digital photography has developed so rapidly and profoundly that it has caused a kind of insecure trepidation. Many, I think, may hesitate making the commitment to a certain model, assuming yet another new model that’s both cheaper […]

Sony Cybershot S600 review

Sunday, February 12th, 2006

DesignTechnica reviews the Sony Cybershot S600:
“With the Cybershot DSC-S600 Sony was clearly trying to hit a “price point,” as they say in the business. In this case it was a 6MP camera with a 3x optical zoom for under $200 from a respected company. As of January 2006, the HP 717 ($239), Kodak Z760 ($299), […]

FujiFilm FinePix S9000 review

Sunday, February 12th, 2006

Bytesector reviews the Fujifilm FinePix S9000:
“Overall, the Fuji Finepix S9000 is a good camera with some very nice features for the price. Unfortunately, its hefty $900 CAD price tag puts it in the same company as some entry level digital SLR cameras. The camera is very easy to work with thanks to a modified version […]

Nikon Coolpix S3 review

Thursday, February 9th, 2006

Imaging Resource reviews the Nikon Coolpix S3:
“The Coolpix S3 packs a lot of features into its small case, including a 6.0-megapixel CCD with 3x zoom lens, and a large 2.5-inch LCD. Its build is solid, with no creaks, and has a pleasant heft. All the controls and features–with the exception of the SD card door–are […]
