Canon Powershot SD960IS Review by PCMag

canon-powershot-sd960-isThe Canon Powershot SD960IS was recently reviewed by PCMag where they wrote, "The 12.1-megapixel PowerShot SD960 IS ($329.99 list) is Canon's first, and the only model in its latest Elph line to get a widescreen LCD. This slick little point-and-shooter still gives you the option to take pictures in the traditional 4:3 aspect ratio, but the 2.8-inch LCD, with its wide 16:9 aspect ratio, makes it much easier to frame your shots. It wouldn't surprise us to see widescreen LCDs become standard fare on digital cameras, as they are becoming in laptops, monitors, and HDTVs. Apart from its screen, the SD960 is extremely fast and records dazzling HD video that you can easily output to an HDTV, but Canon's typically bulletproof reputation for high-quality images has developed a few holes with this model.

The 16:9 LCD on the Canon SD960 IS lets you frame your shots to match the format of HDTV and widescreen laptop displays, and it records excellent HD video. Unfortunately, its price and some image-quality issues prevent it from being a point-and-shoot superstar."

Nikon D90 Review by ThinkCamera

nikon-d90The Nikon D90 is the next generation in the line of Nikon quality cameras.  Thinkcamera had a review on it where they write, ''The D90 is a trophy of a middleweight camera, with the D-movie HD video mode tagging on an extra medal or two. No other DSLR in the world has a video feature to match; which no doubt opens up a whole new world of possibilities.

As an upgrade from the D80, the Nikon D90 positively flies; adding a chunkier new sensor, improved speed and picture quality, plus a bundle of modes and features. From a usability point of view, the informative visual information and display features from the D60 have also been adopted - making for ultimate ease of use.

The D90's 18-105mm kit lens, whilst sluggish to focus and rather shy of close-up subjects, covers a very adaptable range that will prove of use to many photographers. Pop on a different lens though and autofocus speed is improved, just not to the speedier heights of the D300. Though, all in all, the Nikon D90 even makes the likes of the D200 look tired; it really is that good."

Nikon D40 Review by ThinkCamera

nikon-d40Thinkcamera reviews the older model Nikon D40 and has this to write, "Despite the low cost, the Nikon D40 does not seem built down to a price. It feels nicely robust in the hand; light and plastic, but solid polycarbonate. The 2.5" rear LCD is bright and doesn't seem small unless you compare it to later designs. The menu system is also typical Nikon - easy and intuitive. And the button layout of this camera followed the trend set by the Nikon D100, standardising things to this day. That said, previous models lacked the Retouch menu to post-process images in camera. The Nikon D40 also lacks a top LCD, instead using a mode dial in its place, and sports just three AF points in the viewfinder. The rear-mounted LCD screen doubles up to show exposure details in shooting mode, however. Age shows itself by things like the lack of live view, but price is a great leveller.

We're not sure how long the Nikon D40 will keep going in the market, but until it finally drops off the radar, it represents the most fantastic value in DSLR at the moment. Yes it's dated and that shows, but the images are good and the camera is fun to use."

Casio Exilim EX-FC100 Review by PCMag

casio-exilim-ex-fc100PcMag reviewed the Casio Exilim EX-FC100 and write, "The 9.1-megapixel Casio Exilim EX-FC100 ($349.99 list) has some cool features that no other compact point-and-shooter can offer. It can snap 30 6MP images in 1 second. And it can capture some of these before you hit the shutter release, so you'll have the image you want even if you didn't push the button in time. It can also record high-quality slow-motion video. But unless you have a specific need for its unique features, you're probably better off with another camera, since the EX-FC100 also has speed and image-quality issues...

With the Casio Exilim EX-FC100, you do get a lot of fun and unique features. It's the only camera we've seen so far that can shoot slow motion and 30-fps video and is small enough to fit in your pocket. (It will soon be joined in this exclusive category by its slimmer sibling, the EX-FS10.) But at $350, those features don't come cheap. If you don't need the added functionality, you should check out the $279.99 Canon PowerShot SD780 IS, which is smaller, is less expensive, takes better still images, and produces gorgeous HD video."

Nikon Coolpix S50c Review by PCMag

nikon-s50c.jpegPcMag reviews the Nikon Coolpix S50c where they write, 'Nikon continues taking the lead in wireless digital cameras, but these cameras are still a bit tricky to use. A number of things keep the Nikon Coolpix S50c from receiving top honors. First, I found significant shutter lag, mainly due to the delayed flash effect in its auto setting, and there are other annoying performance issues. Second, the Coolpix's fancy wireless features still proved to be way too confusing to use, at least at first... So, for those who don't mind spending lots of time messing around with tech gadgets and plowing through plenty of instructions, the Nikon Coolpix s50c's wireless features make it an alluring option. Though its image quality is decent, it's certainly not the most awesome camera in terms of performance. Still, at least for now, it's the best wireless point-and-shoot out there.'

Kodak EX1011 Digital Frame Review by Thinkcamera

ex1011-kodak-digital-picture-frame.jpegWe've been looking at the Kodak EX1011 and wondering how it measures up to other digital frames out there. Thinkcamera has a review on the Kodak EX1011 where they write, 'It does loads of stuff. More than any other picture frame you have owned (probably). There's 128 MB of internal memory, a card reader for most memory cards and a direct USB link to hook it to your computer or directly to a thumbdrive. Oh and WiFi too. Set it up and if your computer has WiFi then you can just “publish” pictures to it and they will display. Getting pictures onto a photo frame has never been so easy... If you want the best display you can get from a digital picture frame with ultimate connectivity then dig deep and buy yourself a Kodak 1011. As soon as you've forgotten the price you'll love it.'

Canon PowerShot TX-1 Review by CNET

canon-powershot-tx-1-sp.jpegThe group at CNET has reviewed the Canon PowerShot TX-1, and write, 'If you absolutely have to have a combo still camera/720p HD camcorder, the Canon PowerShot TX-1 is probably the best bang for the buck... Ultimately, you're still better off buying separate video and still cameras, though maybe someday combo devices like this will reach a point when they'll make sense for the casual vacation shooter. Despite all that, we do have to commend Canon for having the guts to push ahead with an experimental product like the TX-1'

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.'
