This Week’s (Aug 13-19, 2011) Digital Camera Review Roundup

Here is this week’s (Aug 13-19, 2011) digital camera review roundup:

• Camera Labs highly recommends the Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-HX100 [QuickPrice Check] as “Sony’s Cyber-shot HX100V promises to be one of the best super-zooms of 2011 [though] the only significant issue that’s likely to bother more advanced shooters is the lack of a RAW mode.“
• ePHOTOzine highly recommends the Sony NEX-5 [QuickPrice Check] finding that it “produces DSLR image quality with extremely low noise.“
• les Numériques trouve que le Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF3 [QuickPrice Check] “reste un petit appareil simple et sympathique, qui délivre de belles images dans les conditions courantes.“
• PhotographyBLOG highly recommends the Samsung WB700 [QuickPrice Check] and asks: “If Samsung can produce a camera of this calibre and price it so aggressively, why are we settling for cameras that are more expensive and either do the same or less?“
• DPReview compares and reviews 6 waterproof digital cameras: Panasonic Lumix DMC-TS3, Sony Cyber-shot TX10, Olympus Tough TG-810, Pentax Optio WG-1 GPS, Ricoh PX and Fujifilm FinePix XP30. The Panasonic Lumix DMC-TS3 / FT3 [QuickPrice Check] and Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-TX10 [QuickPrice Check] came out on top.
• PhotographyBLOG recommends the Olympus SZ-10 [QuickPrice Check] finding that it “represents a good value for anyone who wants a mostly automated digicam with a big zoom.“
• ePHOTOzine compares four of the mirrorless compact system cameras: Olympus PEN E-P3 [QuickPrice Check], Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF3 [QuickPrice Check], Sony NEX-5 [QuickPrice Check] and Samsung NX11.
• DPReview recommends the Olympus PEN E-P3 [QuickPrice Check] finding that “few cameras are capable of generating more appealing JPEG images straight out of the camera with minimal user intervention.“
• ePHOTOzine finds that the entry-level Fujifilm FinePix XP20 [QuickPrice Check] “offers images with good colour reproduction which are going to look great on Facebook and Flickr.“
• DigitalCameraInfo is not too thrilled with the Samsung SH100 [QuickPrice Check] finding that “the SH100 is, in a way, an example of what not to do when developing new technology.” As always, we do encourage you to get a second opinion.
• BJP wants you to get two Canon EOS Rebel T3i / 600D [QuickPrice Check] since it is “a great option for lightweight travel and general use, and an even better one for video work.“
• TechRadar recommends the Samsung WB700 [QuickPrice Check] finding that “pictures pop with realistic colour and are pin sharp, the processor handles noise very well.“
• ePHOTOzine recommends the Fujifilm FinePix T200 [QuickPrice Check] as “images have plenty of detail, good colour reproduction and noise performance is fine even at high ISO settings.“
• Imaging Resource recommends the Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF3 [QuickPrice Check] as “a high-quality picture-taking device that’s tiny enough to fit in a coat pocket. With its impressively sharp, 14mm f/2.5 lens attached, the Panasonic GF3 is the perfect camera for street photography.“
• ThePhoblographer pits two compact mirrorless DSLRs: the Sony NEX-C3 against the Olympus E-P3.
