Panasonic Lumix DMC-LZ10

Wed, 23 Jul 2008 10:55:16 -0400

One of a new crop of Lumix cameras introduced near the beginning of 2008, the Panasonic Lumix DCM-LZ10 offers full manual exposure control (along with shutter and aperture priority mode) in a compact point and shoot body. One of the only cameras in its price range to offer this degree of control, the DCM-LZ10 is likely to appeal to serious photographers on a tight budget or seeking a less bulky alternative to a full dSLR. The obvious limitations compared to a dSLR are a finite lens range (5x lens is equivalent to a 30-150mm lens) and a smaller CCD image sensor than a dSLR. A broad selection of scene modes, face-detection to assist correct focusing, intelligent auto-focus and optical image stabilization mean simple point-and-shoot photography is also offered by the camera. The battery life is higher than average and has been described as "best in class" versus its competitors.

Features:

Aperture-priority, shutter-priority and full manual exposure controls
10.1 megapixel CCD sensor
5x zoom Leica lens (30-150mm)

Norcent DSC-1050

Tue, 03 Jun 2008 10:11:16 -0400

The Norcent DSC-1050 is a budget priced digital camera that offers features usually found in more expensive offerings. The standout features for this price range is the 10 megapixel sensor, and the face tracking capabilities. Alongside these features are the standard capabilities found in modern point-and-shoot cameras such as anti-shake, 3x optical zoom, and a variety of shooting modes for different lighting conditions.

Specs

10MP sensor
Face tracking capability
3x optical zoom, 4x digital zoom
3.0" LCD display
22 capture modes
movie recording up to 640x480 resolution
built-in flash
16MB built-in memory with an SD card slot

10MP sensor - while this specification looks very impressive on paper, the reality is that megapixel ratings are one of the least important metrics in digital camera quality. This allows for pictures that have a resolution up to 3648x27363 which would allow for poster-sized prints to be made without loss of quality. For reference, typical pictures found on the Internet are around 1MP.

Face tracking - this technology is used to help with autofocus. Using image recognition technologies your subject's faces will be automatically discovered with focus automatically being placed on those locations.

22 capture modes - this includes both picture and movie recording modes. The large number of pre-built configuration settings is intended to allow for relatively easy pointing-and-shooting without overly compromising picture quality.

The TZ1 is a high-performance camera, and features the newly developed Venus Engine III LSI, which reduces chromatic aberrations that often occur in high-sensitivity modes of shooting. The result is a winning combination of MEGA Optical Image Stabilization and high sensitivity recording that helps defeat the causes of blurry, dissatisfying images: an unsteady photographers hand and a moving subject. The lens part of the TZ1 features the worlds first integration of a retractable lens system with folded optics technology, realized by the inclusion of a prism.

Fuji FinePix F30

Sat, 05 Aug 2006 17:11:29 -0400

Parents with kids that won't sit still for pictures will be very interested in the FinePix F30 digital camera announced by Fuji Photo Film U.S.A, Inc. The 6.3 MegaPixel FinePix F30 is the world's first point-and-shoot digital camera for consumers with full-resolution ISO equivalency speeds as high as 3200 - a setting previously reserved for advanced consumer and professional digital camera models. Higher light sensitivities allow the FinePix F30 to shoot with faster shutter speeds, which lessen the likelihood of blurry pictures caused by ever-active children, fidgety pets, dim ambient light or camera movement due to an unsteady hand.

Panasonic DMC-LZ3

Wed, 25 Jan 2006 10:49:05 -0500

Jitter from shaky hands is one of the main reasons why cameras produce blurry images. Panasonic digital cameras help solve the problem of unsteady hands with advanced MEGA Optical Image Stabilizer technology. Their cameras have a built-in gyrosensor that detects any hand movement and relays a signal to a tiny microcomputer inside the camera, which instantly calculates the compensation needed. A linear motor then shifts the Optical Image Stabilizer lens as necessary to guide incoming light from the image straight to the CCD. You won't even notice it working--all you'll see are the outstanding results!

Panasonic DMC-FZ7

Wed, 25 Jan 2006 10:46:46 -0500

The FZ7 features a LEICA DC VARIO-ELMARIT Lens with a remarkable 12x optical zoom, equivalent to a 35 to 430mm lens on a 35mm film camera. A film camera with an optical zoom this powerful would be so big and heavy, you couldn't handle it with one hand. The FZ7, on the other hand, is small, lightweight and easy to handle. It also has Panasonic's Extended Optical Zoom. While causing minimal deterioration by using the center part of the high-resolution CCD, this function magnifies the image to give you total zoom power of 17.5x - roughly equivalent to a huge 1680mm lens on a 35mm camera.

Samsung L83T

Wed, 27 May 2009 21:47:57 -0400

The L83T is a mid-level compact digital camera from Samsung. The L83T features an 8.2 megapixel CCD image sensor, a 3x optical zoom lens, a 2.5” LCD screen and includes a rechargeable battery. Samsung has implemented 14 preset scenes and automatic modes, which allow the average user to optimize their photos without having to manually adjust the camera’s settings. Other features include ISO 1600 sensitivity, face recognition and advanced shake reduction. The face recognition system will automatically keep the subject’s face in focus, regardless of the scene’s composition. The shake reduction feature is especially useful for use with the camera’s close-up macro mode that works up to 1cm. The general consensus among camera experts suggests the L83T’s photos are slightly above average, easily suitable for emailing, web sites and basic 8” x 10” or 4” x 6” printing.

Olympus FE-340

Sat, 18 Oct 2008 23:34:46 -0400

The FE series from Olympus focuses on slim design, ease of use, and competitive pricing. The FE-340 offers a 5x optical zoom and a generous 2.7" display in a 0.7" thin body. An effective 3200 ISO makes this one of the most sensitive models in the line; combined with Digital Image Stabilization (automatic ISO and shutter speed control) and DIS Edit (to remove blur from captured images), crisp photos are likely under almost any conditions. 19 shooting modes, Face Detection, Smile Shot (which fires off a series of photos when your subject smiles), and in-camera help make using the FE-340 easy even for beginners. A special preview mode splits the LCD into a multi-frame window to display the effect of different settings so you can select the shot you like best. And if you find you didn't make the best choice after all, in-camera editing extends to lightening shadows, eliminating red eye, and flipping frowns into smiles.

Canon PowerShot A2000 IS

Wed, 15 Oct 2008 16:31:25 -0400

The Canon Powershot A2000 IS, along with the lower price Powershot A1000 IS, represents Canon's decision to revamp their popular A-series. Previously the A-series was slightly chunky, and offered manual image control options. The A2000 IS is more streamlined, both physically and in terms of features. The slim camera features a 3" LCD monitor which takes up most of the camera back, leaving no room for a viewfinder (a feature that was previously included in all A-series, and is still found in the A1000 IS). Manual exposure controls are gone, replaced with what Canon calls an "easy mode" setting, indicating that they are nowtargeting novice photographers rather than hobbyists on a tight budget.

Features:

10 megapixel CCD sensor
6x optical zoom lens
3" LCD screen (but lacks a viewfinder)
Digic III image processor
optical image stabilization
face and motion detection
"easy mode" for basic snapshots
scene modes
captures video

Canon PowerShot A1000 IS

Wed, 15 Oct 2008 16:27:26 -0400

The Canon PowerShot A1000 IS is part of the new expansion of the popular A-series, which has been targeted as a low price digital line for general consumers. Unlike the step-up model, the A2000 IS, the A1000 IS includes an optical viewfinder, a feature which continues to appeal to many photographers. While the camera is quite feature-rich for the price range, the control it offers is limited to scene modes and some tweaking of color range, saturation and a handful of other image parameters, not true manual control over aperture and shutter speed.

Features:

10 megapixel CCD sensor
4x optical zoom lens
optical image stabilization
Digic III processor
face detection
red-eye correction
2.5" LCD monitor
several scene modes
ISO 3200 high sensitivity mode

Choose from 15 scene modes, or let the camera's automatic scene selector make the call for you. Active Child Mode will track a moving subject and keep them in focus, allowing for fast shutter response time when the moment is right. Portrait mode offers both smile and blink detection, and an in-camera red-eye fix helps eliminate spoiled photo opportunities. The Coolpix S610c is an alternative model that includes all the features of the S610 and also has built-in Wifi capabilities.

Features:

10 megapixel CCD sensor

Fujifilm FinePix J50

Tue, 12 Aug 2008 17:24:12 -0400

The Fujifilm FinePix J50 is an entry-level compact digital camera in a stylish body that aims to make the camera look and feel more expensive than it is. Several scene modes are included to help consumers simply point-and-shoot while still getting the results they want. The 5x optical zoom lens offers more range than the 3x lenses that are typical of compact digital cameras in this price range. However, reviews describe image quality at higher ISO settings as noise and sub-par. Since the image stabilization offered by the J50 is simply ISO compensation (if shake is detected the camera uses a higher ISO setting, which allows for a faster camera speed) the telephoto range of the zoom requires a steady hand or tripod to ensure image quality isn't sacrificed. As with most compact digital cameras on the market, the J50 captures VGA resolution video.

Features:

8.2 megapixel CCD sensor
5x optical zoom lens
digital image stabilization
scene modes
captures video

Fujifilm FinePix S100FS

Mon, 11 Aug 2008 12:49:18 -0400

The Fujifilm FinePix S100fs is aimed at those who want more versatility than a compact digital camera can offer, without the hassle and investment in interchangeable lenses required bydSLRs. The plastic body is smaller and lighter than most dSLR cameras, and features a 14x optical zoom lens and flip-out/swivel LCD panel on the rear. In addition to the LCD users have the option of using the electronic viewfinder for framing their photos. Control over images ranges from usingpre -programmed scene modes to full manual exposure settings. Although reviewers describe the resolution and noise reduction as quite good, noticeable chromatic aberration is also mentioned as visible throughout much of the zoom range.

Features:

11 megapixel CCD sensor
14x optical zoom lens
Extended dynamic range
Film simulation modes (including Velvia and Provia)
14 scene modes
Electronic viewfinder
3fps continuous shooting at 11 megapixels

If you need to check the focus, our Manual Focus Assist function enlarges the center part of the image in the viewfinder or LCD monitor by 3x for easy viewing. The Manual Exposure Mode allows you to select the aperture and shutter speed of your choice. You can even see how much your setting differs from the setting the camera considers optimal with the Manual Exposure Assist function.

Ricoh Caplio RR770

Tue, 08 Sep 2009 20:02:59 -0400

The Ricoh Caplio RR770 is an entry-level, lightweight digital camera released as a slight upgrade from the RR750. It hosts a larger 3.0” color TFT-LCD monitor, but maintains its predecessor’s 7.1 megapixels resolution and 12x total zoom (3x optical / 4x digital). The larger screen allows users to see more, and therefore take better-quality pictures. In fact, the lens can capture images with a resolution up to 3072x2304—enough to produce a large photo print. Also note the RR770’s ability to record films. But really, the defining factor behind this unit is its friendliness to beginners, as the point-and-shoot technology has been improved to allow non-professionals to more easily capture high-quality images. Included also are six Scene Modes — Auto, Program, Landscape, Portrait, Sports, and Night — for adding a tab of creativity to one’s pictures. Other additional aspects include an SD card slot, the option of using a rechargeable battery, and a USB interface for PC connectivity.

Thu, 30 Oct 2008 11:50:11 -0400

Essentially the same as the Canon PowerShot SD950 IS, the SD990 IS Digital ELHP comes with premium features. This model is a step above from the entry line models, equipped with DIGIC 4 Image Processor focusing on improved portrait and group shots. The 3.7X Optical and 4X Digital Zoom found on this camera is not the strongest Canon puts out in the PowerShot line up, but the Optical Image Stabilizer feature will account for advancement. The 14.7 Megapixel Resolution puts this cameras potential on a higher level than other PowerShots. On-top of the 2.5” LCD monitor a Viewfinder is installed, for added convenience, along with a built-in flash that has a Red-Eye Reduction feature. Keeping this unit small and light, at 165grams, is the rechargeable Lithium-ion NB-5L battery.

Nikon Coolpix S52

Thu, 07 Aug 2008 14:44:41 -0400

The Nikon Coolpix S52 is available in 2 models, the standard S52 and the S52c, which includes Wifi for wireless transfer of your photographs. The 9 megapixel compact camera features a 3x Nikkor zoom lens that spans 38-114mm, meaning it does not offer the moderate wide-angle found on some other ultracompact cameras. Several scene modes, optical image stabilization, facial recognition and in-camera red-eye reduction should make point-and-shoot snapshots easy. The back of the camera is dominated by a 3" LCD screen with anti-reflective coating intended to make viewing easier in direct sunlight.

New image processor

The Coolpix s52 and s52c use Nikon's new Expeed image processor, which is supposed to improve shutter speed and lag times. This was a major complaint with previous models in the series, and improvements with the new processor have been noted by enthusiasts.

Features:

9 megapixel CCD sensor
3x optical zoom Nikkor lens
optical image stabilization
variety of scene modes
self-timer
S52c model includes Wifi

Ricoh Caplio GX100

Mon, 25 Jun 2007 14:26:41 -0400

The Ricoh Caplio GX100 is a compact camera for the serious photographer. Specifications are top of the line with a 10 megapixel sensor, 24mm-72mm equivalent wide angle lens, optical image stabilization, unlimited continuous shooting mode at 2 frames per second, and a built-in pop-up flash. All of these features come at a price with the GX100 retailing for $599 which puts it on par with other inexpensive digital SLRs like the Nikon D40.

While many camera makers are removing their RAW storage, Ricoh is introducing it into its compact line with the GX100. The camera stores the image in Adobe's DNG format which is readable by most programs, this is in contrast to many proprietary RAW formats that are difficult to process.

ISO support ranges from 80 up to 1600, though reviews remark that the image quality at ISO1600 makes the setting useless. For the longer exposure times, up to 3 minutes, the camera's optical stabilization is used. The Camera Shake Correction option is turned on by default. Adjusting exposure and other settings is done through the on screen interface. The camera features a total of 17 different external controls. Specific settings can be saved in two slots labeled MY1, and MY2 which are quickly accessible from the photo-mode dial.

If the camera's 2.5" LCD screen and built-in flash aren't suitable, there are extra accessories to enhance the device's capabilities. The hotshoe on the top of the camera can take a stronger flash attachment, or a removable electronic viewfinder, but not both at the same time.

Nikon Coolpix S50c

Wed, 28 Feb 2007 12:43:12 -0500

Increased megapixels and larger LCD screen (3" in this case) aren't the only enhancements that Nikon is bringing to the world of digital cameras. With the S50c, Nikon is introducing wireless functionality. With the built-in WiFi capabilities you can connect to a wireless access point directly, and then e-mail your photos to yourself or other people, or transfer your pictures to a secure Nikon server that lets you store up to 2GB of images. It is currently unknown as to whether or not storing your pictures on Nikon's servers will cost money through a subscription fee, but most likely the service will be free.

Similar to other cameras in this size and price range, the S50c features a periscoping lens to achieve its zooming capabilities. Some reports have mentioned that the lens type can cause quality issues with the edges of the pictures. Furthermore, the number of shots per charge (130) is in the low range compared to other cameras of this type.
