Here is this week’s (Jul 30-Aug 5, 2011) digital camera review roundup:

• Trusted Reviews recommends the Olympus E-P3 finding that “image quality is the best we’ve yet seen from an Olympus PEN camera […] you won’t be disappointed.“
• PhotographyBLOG rates the as only Average and recommends it only “if you’re a newcomer to photography, you like quirky retro products or simply want to stand out [….]“
• Camera Labs recommends the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX9? [QuickPrice Check] finding that it “improves on earlier Cyber-shot pocket super-zooms in virtually every area with a much bigger zoom, higher resolution sensor, higher resolution video, higher resolution screen, better composite modes, better panoramic modes and, to top it off, excellent image quality. The one disappointing aspect of the HX9V is its GPS reception“
• PhotographyBLOG rates the Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-W570 [QuickPrice Check] as Above Average and “a good looking camera that will appeal to young people and newcomers to photography.“
• byThom likes the Olympus XZ-1 [QuickPrice Check] but “can’t help but feel that the XZ-1 could have been better, though. The sensor and noise reduction let it down a bit.“
• digitalcameraHQ recommends the Nikon COOLPIX P500 [QuickPrice Check] “as one of the best superzooms for your money.“
• digitalcameraHQ recommends the Panasonic LUMIX DMC-G3 [QuickPrice Check] and “offers a great mixture of excellent image quality, feature-rich design, and reasonable pricing, and most important of all, it’s fun to use.“
• byThom finds the Nikon COOLPIX P300 [QuickPrice Check] “a reasonably straight forward semi-sophisticated camera to a not-so-serious shooting spouse or child.“
• PhotographyBLOG recommends the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ48 as “an appealing super-zoom that has the speed, ease-of-use and image quality to more than satisfy anyone looking for an all-in-one, do-it-all camera.“
• PhotographyBLOG recommends the Pentax Optio WG-1 GPS [QuickPrice Check] “if you’re looking for a tough camera to take on a special trip around the world and you want to document where you were as well as what happened, then the WG-1 GPS will do all that for you.“
• byThom reviews the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX9? [QuickPrice Check] and finds that “for casual shooting, the Sony will do. For serious shooting, unfortunately, you’ll have to move up. For video, however, the HX9V is a real shirt-pocket bargain.“
• As many other reviewers, byThom bought a Fujifilm X100 [QuickPrice Check] since it “manages to fulfill most of what I wanted, but it’s rough at the edges, and some will find that a problem.“
• Imaging Resource recommends the Canon PowerShot ELPH 500 HS [QuickPrice Check] as “I really liked the color, tone and sharpness of photos taken with the Canon PowerShot ELPH 500 HS.“
• Steve’s Digicams finds the Nikon COOLPIX L120 [QuickPrice Check] for “has a lot to offer beginner to novice users.“
