Canon PowerShot A470 Review at Trusted Reviews

By

Trusted Reviews has posted a review of the Canon PowerShot A470.

Despite its very low cost the Canon PowerShot A470 acquits itself well. The build quality could be better, the control layout has a couple of major problems and it’s a lot larger and heavier than it really needs to be, but it makes up for these faults with extremely fast performance, excellent autofocus especially in low light, and even pretty good image quality, although it does have a few problems in this area. In general though the A470 is a genuine bargain and you won’t find much better for the price.

 

Nikon Coolpix S600 Review at Cameras.co.uk

Cameras.co.uk has posted a review of the Nikon Coolpix S600. The S600 is a 10 megapixel point and shoot digital camera.  It also features a 4x optical zoom, Nikon’s VR image stabilization and a sensitivity range up to ISO 3200.

From time to time I find a digital camera I just cannot get on with. This is the case with the Nikon Coolpix S600. It is a shame because the camera has a number of impressive points such as start up time and shutter lag delay.

Canon Rebel XSi Review at Luminous Landscape

By

Luminous Landscape has posted a review of the Canon Rebel XSi.  The new Digital Rebel XSi kit comes with an stabilized 18-55mm lens. Canon’s entry-level DSLR now features a 3? rear LCD panel that’s capable of Live View framing and focusing.

As we have seen, image quality (at least within its ISO range) is on a par with anything else on the market, and better than most in this price range.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX500 Review at PhotographyBLOG

By

PhotographyBLOG has posted a review of the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX500. The FX500 is a 10.1 megapixel point & shoot camera with a 5x wide angle lens.  It also features Panasonic’s O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilization).

Despite the poor performance at higher ISO speeds, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX500 is a fantastic compact camera that’s equally at home in point-and-shoot mode, or a more creative shooting mode.
