Samsung NV7 OPS Review at Trusted Reviews, “There is a prime example of Schneider Kreuznach’s finest product on this, the Samsung NV7 OPS. It is a high-spec 7.2-megapixel camera launched at the same time as the gorgeous NV10 which I reviewed last September. It shares many design similarities with the NV10, although there are also many differences. One large and obvious difference is the NV7’s big 7x zoom Schneider Kreuznach Varioplan lens. It has a focal length equivalent to 38 - 270mm, which is a useful range, but even more useful is its maximum aperture of f/2.8 – f/4.0, which is particularly fast for a digital compact. This gives the advantage of faster shutter speeds especially at longer focal lengths. For comparison, the 6x zoom lens on the Canon A710IS, a camera with a broadly similar specification, has a maximum aperture of f/2.8 – f/4.8.” [Read More…]

Nikon Coolpix P5000 Review at DPExpert, “This is Nikon’s compact camera for the serious photographer. The lens range is 36–126mm, film equivalent. The lens has true image stabilisation. There are wide angle and telephoto extenders available as options. It has a 10 megapixel sensor with sensitivity from ISO64 to 3200. The camera body is magnesium alloy, well made, solid and attractive. It is slightly bulkier than most compacts but it easily fits in a jacket pocket. There is an optical viewfinder and an external flash shoe. The camera offers full user controls and the buttons and knobs are well placed and responsive. Focus is fast and accurate. As usual Nikon provide a comprehensive printed manual. There is no RAW capture, only JPEG.” [Read More…]

Olympus EVOLT E-410 Review at DCResource, “Behind the mirror is the E-410’s unique LiveMOS image sensor. Its unique design allows for full-time live view on the camera’s LCD display, so those of you used to previewing your shots on your compact camera’s LCD will feel right at home. The old E-330 actually had two sensors: the main LiveMOS sensor and a second, smaller sensor in the viewfinder chamber. The camera offered two live view modes (A and B), with one allowing for autofocus and the other for manual focus. The problem with that concept was that the small sensor really darkened the optical viewfinder, and it’s been done away with on the E-410. So, you get a brighter viewfinder and get to keep your live view, since the LiveMOS now does all the work. ” [Read More…]

Fujifilm Finepix F40 fd Review at ePhotoZine, “The Automatic mode offers four flash modes which are the usual suspects of Auto, Red-eye reduction, Flash override on and Flash override off. These are labelled as Forced flash and Suppressed flash.
The Manual mode offers the same flash offers as before but with Slow sync and Slow sync with Red-eye reduction. The Slow sync gives a burst of flash and a slow shutter speed to light up darker backgrounds which is suitable for night shooting.” [Read More…]

Fuji FinePix F20 Review at ePhotoZine, “The auto focus of the F20 is reasonably good, kicking in almost immediately, and for subjects with less detail, within a few seconds. In the continuous shooting mode test, the F20 was capable of producing five shots within the 10 second test period, and was ready to fire again after three seconds, which is reasonably good for a compact. In the colour checker test, the blues were a lot brighter than they are in the chart, which is almost always the case with compacts, and so the resulting colour mixes were also a slightly different shade. The reds and the greens though, were impressively accurate, as were the oranges, browns and the skin tone colours. The Macro mode functions as close as 5cm and gives a good qulaity close up with lots of detail in the petals and the centre of the flower. ” [Read More…]

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H9 Review at DCResource, “Like all of Sony’s 2007 cameras, the Cyber-shot DSC-H9 has built-in memory instead of having a memory card included in the box — 31MB worth to be exact. That holds just ten photos at the highest quality setting, so you’ll want to buy a memory card right away. The DSC-H9 uses Sony’s Memory Stick Pro Duo cards, which currently top out at 8GB, and I’d recommend picking up a 1GB card along with the camera. An adapter is included with all MS Duo cards so they work in standard Memory Stick slots.” [Read More…]

Olympus FE-250 Review at Imaging Resource, “In addition to its 20MB of built-in memory, images can be stored on xD-Picture cards. The FE-250 offers a maximum ISO sensitivity of 3,200, with the ability to bump this to ISO 10,000 equivalent at reduced resolution. (We do caution readers to take claims of extremely high ISO settings with a large grain of salt though - Images shot with such extreme settings may be of questionable value, even for 4×6 inch snapshots.) The FE2-50 also has a VGA Movie mode with sound at a frame rate of 30 fps. Power comes from a proprietary Lithium Ion rechargeable battery. There’s also USB computer connectivity, and video out to let you see your photos on a television.” [Read More…]

Casio Exilim EX-Z75 Review at RegHardware, “The controls are laid out in a straightforward manner and well thought-out. Apart from the power key and the shutter button on the top, they’re all on the back, to the right of the large, 2.6in, 479 x 240 LCD in ready reach of your right thumb. From top down you have the standard zoom keys; two buttons to switch between picture viewing and picture taking; a circular five-way navigation control with Set in the middle; and, next to each other, Menu and Best Shot buttons.” [Read More…]
