Sony Cybershot DSC W170 Review at Let’s Go Digital

By

Let’s Go Digital has posted a review of the Sony Cybershot DSC-W170.

The Sony Cybershot W170 is a pleasant camera to work with. It’s a pity that the image quality did not appear clearly from a technical point of view in a number of situations. This is not a camera for the evening or in difficult light circumstances; it is a good-weather model.

Steve’s Digicams has posted a review of the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H10.

What the it lacks in size, it makes up for in performance. On start up it is able to capture its first image in less than 2 seconds, great for having the 10x zoom to contend with. There is virtually no shutter lag when the camera is pre-focused, and just 2/10 of a second when allowing the auto-focus to run.

Nikon D90 Review at Think Camera

By

Think Camera has posted a full review of the Nikon D90 and its 18-105mm VR kit lens.

The D90 is a trophy of a middleweight camera, with the D-movie HD video mode tagging on an extra medal or two. No other DSLR in the world has a video feature to match; which no doubt opens up a whole new world of possibilities.
