Fujifilm FinePix S6000fd Review by CNET

fujifilm-finepix-s6000fd-sp.jpegThe Fujifilm FinePix S6000fd has been reviewed by CNET where the group writes, 'Overall, the Fujifilm FinePix S6000fd is a capable superzoom. Its biggest drawback is that it doesn't include optical or mechanical image stabilization to make its zoom lens more useful. Its high ISOs are helpful, but also come with unwanted noise. If you can get past that, this camera offers a wider wide angle than most superzooms on the market.'

Nikon D80 Review by Megapixel

nikon-d80-sp.jpegThe group at Megapixel has a review on the Nikon D80 where they write about this Nikon camera saying that the, 'D80 is an important step beyond the D70, and is an excellent alternative to the more expensive D200. Compared to its predecessor, the D80’s autofocus is much faster, its sensitivity range is greater and it is equipped with a 2.5-inch LCD monitor. Just as important, the 10.2-megapixel resolution of the D80 allows it to capture even finer details than had been possible with the D70. Last but not least, the D80 can be mated to a vertical grip that supports a second shutter release for vertical shots, something that was unavailable on the D70.'

Pentax Optio W10 Review by LetsGoDigital

pentax-optio-w10-sp.jpegThe Pentax Optio W10 has been reviewed by LetsGoDigital where the write, 'The Pentax Optio W10 is a typical example of a small camera aiming at the photographer looking for user convenience and an easy-to-operate camera. This type of user generally isn't keen on having to worry about all sorts of "unnecessary" actions; they just want to capture the fun moment by a simple, single push of the button. The Pentax W10 is a camera that features virtually no manual settings, but does offer a diversity of creative photo options through the intelligent in-camera software.'

Casio Exilim EX-Z700 Review by Thinkcamera

casio-ex-z700-sp.jpegThe Casio Exilim EX-Z700 has been Reviewed by Thinkcamera where they say, 'This is going to come as no real surprise - Casio get another ThinkCamera Editor's Choice for the Z700. It does everything that the Z600 does with more pixels and a couple of new tricks. Low light shooting isn't quite as good but it's still better than 90% of the cameras we test so I'll let that one slide. Online prices go all the way up to £250 but shop hard and you should get the camera and some memory for less than £200 which makes it a great buy.' The Casio Exilim EX-Z700 received a 9/10 stars from the group.

sony-cyber-shot-dsc-n2-sp.jpegThe Sony Cyber Shot DSC-N2 has been Reviewed by Imaging Resource where the group writes, 'Again making waves in the digital camera marketplace, Sony innovates with the Cyber-shot DSC-N2. The camera's touch-screen technology allows for a clean body style (perfect for pockets) while enabling a much simpler user interface. Touch controls not only extend to the Sony N2's main menu functions, but also let you alter images in-camera with the Paint tool, and pinpoint focus exactly where you want it as you shoot, all with a simple touch of the screen. Add to this the Sony N2's 10-megapixel CCD, available manual exposure control, and host of creative tools, and you have an extremely capable camera that takes great pictures in a wide range of situations.'

Kodak EasyShare v610 Review by Cameras.co.uk

kodak-easyshare-v610.jpgA review of the Kodak EasyShare v610 was done by Cameras.co.uk where they write, 'The Kodak Easyshare V610 is a very slim digital camera with a 10x optical zoom lens. In fact at the time of writing this review the Easyshare V610 is the smallest digital camera available with such a long zoom.' '...Kodak should be applauded for their ambition when building the Easyshare V610. In my view there are a few compromises when it comes to image quality, but if you want a pocket sized digital camera with a very long zoom lens this is the only camera available.'

Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX2 Review by PhotographyBlog

panasonic-lumix-dmc-lx2-sp.jpegA review of the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX2 has been completed by PhotographyBlog where they write, 'The Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX2 is the second-ever compact digital camera to feature a 16:9 ratio CCD sensor, following on from the original LX1 model that was released back in 2005. The 16:9 format is perfect for viewing on your widescreen TV or just for achieving a more panoramic effect. Panasonic have sensibly added a wider 2.8 inch LCD screen to the DMC-LX2 to match the ratio of the sensor.'
