photoxelsHere is this week’s (April 3-9, 2010) digital camera review roundup:
- DCRP (dcresource) finds that the Sony DSC-HX5V [QuickPrice Check]
is “not the best low light shooter out there (that honor goes to Fuji), nor does it have the best GPS implementation (that award goes to Panasonic).“
- CameraLabs positively loved the Sony DSC-TX7 [QuickPrice Check]
, finding that with its “touch-screen focusing, the phrase ‘point and shoot’ was never more appropriate, and the absence of the usual physical controls is no hindrance.“
- We [Photoxels] posted our first review of the year: the Nikon Coolpix P100 [Specs], a super zoom digital camera we wished we had when we first started into photography.
- Imaging Resource tested the Sony DSC-W350 [QuickPrice Check]
and found too many flaws to recommend it. Though the features look great on paper and the camera “does a fine job when there’s plenty of light,” there are just too many tradeoffs.
- PhotographyBLOG gives its highest grade to the Sony DSC-HX5V [QuickPrice Check]
- The Samsung NX10 [Specs], a Digital Interchangeable Lens camera (DIL, aka “mirrorless DSLR”) that uses an APS-C image sensor, is found to be “a small, likeable camera that is readily capable of matching the image quality of its peers” by DPReview.
- With optical zoom now approaching 30x, you may be tempted to overlook the 10x optical zoom in the Panasonic ZS7 / TZ10 [Specs], a compact ultra zoom that “is hard to beat” according to the expert reviewers at DigitalCameraReview.
- I’m always on the lookout for a good affordable All-in-One printer (that does Fax). Look no further than the Canon PIXMA MX340 Wireless Office All-in-One Printer [QuickPrice Check]
says TrustedReviews who rates it as “a neat, serviceable all-in-one, with reasonable speed, good fax facilities and fair print and copy performance..” At US $99.99, that ain’t bad!
- As far as the Canon PowerShot A495 [Specs] is concerned, PhotographyBLOG recommends, “Don’t expect miracles and you won’t be disappointed. Indeed, for the price you’ll be pleasantly surprised.“
- Focus Numérique [ Google translation ] found that the Canon EOS Rebel T2i / 550D [Specs] “est certainement l’un des meilleurs boîtiers reflex du moment.“
- DPReview puts the Canon PowerShot S90 [QuickPrice Check]
to the test and finds it to be “a great walkaround camera, capable of results (particularly at lower ISO settings) that most serious photographers would be more than happy with..”
- Can the Panasonic ZS5 / TZ8 [Specs] be even better than its older brother, the ZS7 / TZ10? So think Imaging Resource who prefers the ZS5’s “more straightforward design, with fewer special features to distract from the act of getting great pictures.”
- For an affordable entry level point-and-shoot, consider the Nikon Coolpix L22 [QuickPrice Check]
that “still shows the style and build quality of Nikon’s more expensive models… but is unfortunately let down by inferior image quality” according to TrustedReviews.
- DigitalCameraReview does not seem to be too enthusiastic about the Canon EOS Rebel T2i / 550D [Specs].
- “It’s one of the best ways I can think of for beginners to take fantastic looking pictures, and enthusiasts will find it a highly capable second camera for when that dSLR is simply too bulky to lug around..” Wired is talking about the new Olympus E-PL1 [Specs] Digital Interchangeable Lens (DIL) camera.
