How to buy your perfect digital camera

The digital camera revolution need not snap your nerve "Here's a snapshot of how to buy your perfect digital camera, writes Charles Arthur"

Bargain bank holiday weekend...

PC World have the Fuji F410 for £149 inc vat, and Argos have the Canon A70 for £149 inc vat. PC World seem to be selling the Fuji A605 - which is a "6mp interpolated" / 3MP Super CCD version of the A120 - a 3mp CCD camera - Dixons seem to like the idea of using Fuji's superccd / interpolation so they can sell them as high megapixel cameras for more money.

Canon PowerShot S1 IS Digital Camera Review "The Canon PowerShot S1 IS is the latest in a long line of high-quality digicams from Canon. Canon U.S.A. has long been a strong contender in the film and digital camera markets, well-known for its high-quality optics, technical innovations, and aggressive product development. The 3.2-megapixel PowerShot S1 IS follows in the footsteps of a well-received model from three years past, improving on the 2.6-megapixel PowerShot Pro90 IS in several respects."

Olympus 8080 at Digitalsecrets.net

Oly 8080 "I'm sad. I have to write something that isn't full of praise and cheer. Sadder still, it may make owners of this camera feel like I somehow have lost respect for them and/or the company that makes their camera. Worse, it might convince some people that I have some sort of reason to wreak discouraging words on undeserving parties."

Nikon Coolpix 5200 at digitalsecrets.net

Nikon Coolpix 5200 "Well dust me off and cover me with surprise. It's a teeny weeny Nikon that is cuter than a kitten yet captures tiger-size pictures. It isn't the most capable Nikon on the block, but it wins the award for being the most Go Anywhere, Any Time Nikon."

Casio Exilim EX-P600 Review at DCResource

DCRP Review: Casio Exilim EX-P600 - 6MP, with a 4x Optical Zoom lens by Canon. "One thing's for sure: the EX-P600 isn't going to win any awards for looks. It's right up there with the Olympus C-5000Z as the ugliest camera I've reviewed in the last year. But who buys a camera for its looks, anyway?"

Canon EOS 1D Mark II mini review at Photography-on-the-net

Canon EOS 1D Mark II mini review : first impressions "One of the most obvious changes when you upgrade 10D to Mark II is 1.3X crop factor. Wide angle is more like wide angle and on long lenses you loose some reach. Most lenses feel a bit odd first and it will take some time before you mentally tune yourself to the new focal system."

Nikon Coolpix 3200 Digital Camera Review at Imaging-Resource

Digital Cameras - Nikon Coolpix 3200 Digital Camera Review, Information, Specifications "The Nikon Coolpix 3200 is the latest in a long line of Coolpix digital cameras whose popularity stretches back to the original Coolpix 900, Nikon's original "breakthrough" digicam. While Nikon is best known for exceptional high-end cameras and optics, in recent years, they've turned increasing attention to the needs of ordinary people, rather than exclusively those of the enthusiast crowd."

Canon Pro 1 - Sony F828 Showdown at Tom's Hardware Guide

Tom's Hardware Guide Peripherals & Consumer Electronics: Review: Canon Pro 1 - Sony F828 Showdown - Introduction "Sony's debut of an 8-million pixel resolution camera has come as a surprise for a couple of reasons. Firstly, it usually markets its sensor technology to other OEMs before launching its latest sensor in a camera of its own. This time, Sony has released its latest sensor chip in its own camera before selling it to other companies. Secondly, the camera involved is no less the ultimate high-end DSC-F828, a camera that in the past has shipped with 3, 4 and 5 million pixels."

Konica Minolta A2 Review at Photoxels

Konica Minolta A2 Review at Photoxels "The Konica Minolta DiMAGE A2 boasts a set of features currently not found in any other prosumer digital camera. From its smooth mechanically linked 7x optical wide-angle zoom to its unique Anti-Shake Technology, the A2 sets a new standard for others to follow. Toss in the highest resolution EVF available (at close to 1MP), an elegant auto-switch between EVF and LCD monitor, live histogram, grid overlay, user-friendly controls, flex focus point, manual focus ring, program shift, monitor amplification in low-light, and internal recording buffer for RAW images capture, and you end up with a digital camera with a no-nonsense approach to ensuring that you get the job done intuitively and fast."

3mp, 3x Optical zoom (wide), with a 1cm macro mode, and "the shutter response is the world’s fastest in its class", the Ricoh sounds tempting - but is it's image quality as good as it should be?
