Here is this week’s (Jul 9-15, 2011) digital camera review roundup:
- Camera Labs recommends the Canon PowerShot SX230 HS [QuickPrice Check]
which “offers an excellent range of shooting modes, great video features, a lot of fun unique stuff like Creative filters and smart shutter features, and the best quality images of any pocket super-zoom in its class.“
- PhotographyBLOG highly recommends the Fujifilm FinePix Z900EXR [QuickPrice Check]
finding that “it’s a shame that there isn’t a “Camera that looks like a budget model but performs like a prosumer” award because the Fujifilm Finepix Z900EXR is a strong contender.“
- DCRP (dcresource) gives less than a stellar recommendation for the Fujifilm FinePix F550EXR [QuickPrice Check]
“hoping that Fuji will remember the great F-series cameras of the past and perhaps give the F550’s successor either a larger sensor or a smaller count. As always, we recommend you get a second opinion by visiting our Reviews Matrix“
- TechRadar finds the Canon Powershot A800 [QuickPrice Check]
“is a great little family camera [which] takes consistently good pictures from the box.“
- PhotographyBLOG recommends the Olympus SP-610UZ [QuickPrice Check]
finding that “the affordable Olympus SP-610UZ represents a good value for anyone who wants a mostly automated digital camera with a big zoom, for use outdoors in bright light.“
- TechRadar recommends the entry-level Canon PowerShot A3200 IS [QuickPrice Check (UK)]
as “an outstanding little camera that ticks a lot of boxes.“
- DigitalCameraReview finds that the Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-TX100V [QuickPrice Check]
‘s “attraction is obviously its hip, ultra-modern iPhone cool look and perfect pocketability.“
- Imaging Resource hates the quirky interface of the Fujifilm X100 [QuickPrice Check]
but finds that “for the right person in the right circumstances, we think the Fujifilm X100 is an excellent choice, and a very fine camera.“
- Steve’s Digicams rates the Fujifilm X100 [QuickPrice Check] as “a huge step in image quality and performance […] providing amazing image quality and excellent performance.“
- Imaging Resource rates the Nikon D5100 [QuickPrice Check]
as a Family DSLR which “offers an approachable design that couples a great feature set with excellent image quality.“
- Imaging Resource recommends the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX9? [QuickPrice Check]
for P&S shooters since it “delivered good-quality stills at sensitivities up to ISO 800 and exhibited impressive autofocus and tracking for a non-DSLR. […] However, enthusiasts should note that noise suppression on the HX9V is quite aggressive, often resulting in a watercolor look.“
- DigitalCameraInfo finds the entry-level Samsung PL120 [QuickPrice Check]
‘s “accurate colors, low noise, high resolution, and a painless menu system lend this model some much-needed street cred.“
- PhotographyBLOG rates the Fujifilm FinePix F500EXR [QuickPrice Check]
as “a stylish, well-featured and likeable compact camera [but] the resulting drop in image quality rather spoils the party.“
