Canon S2 IS Review
LetsGoDigital review the new 5 megapixel Canon S2 IS – it features an image stabilised 12x optical zoom lens:
“The Canon Powershot S2 IS, quite a mouth full, is the successor of the S1. The Powershot S2 IS was officially introduced in April of this year and is available for some months now. The Canon S2 IS camera features an impressive optical zoom of 12x combined with an almost indispensable image stabilisation. When used to working with this function, you don’t want to do without it anymore. The specifications of the Canon Powershot S2 IS are impressive; 5 Megapixels, 12x zoom with optical image stabilisation, high video clip resolution and the already rather famous DIGIC II processor.”

Panasonic Lumix FX9 Review
DPReview review the new 6 megapixel Panasonic Lumix FX9 (a 6 megapixel version of the FX7/FX8) – the ultra compact camera features an image stabilised 3x optical zoom lens and a 2.5″ screen:
“The changes brought in with the FX9 are more significant (though still fairly limited). As well as the extra million or so pixels, the new model has a better screen (much higher resolution) – and a couple of new scene modes.”
Fujifilm FinePix F10 Review
TrustedReviews review the 6 megapixel Fujifilm FinePix F10 – it features a 3x optical zoom lens, 2.5″ screen and high ISO settings:
“This is a camera for which I have been waiting with some interest for several months, ever since a marketing executive from Fujifilm told me that the company was working on a camera which eliminated image noise at all sensitivity settings right up to 1600 ISO – that’s like hearing about a car that goes at 200mph and gets 200mpg. Image noise is the bane of digital photography, so fame, fortune and glory awaits for the company that can conquer it first. The official press release that accompanied the review sample was a little less boastful, but still mentioned a “low noise” ISO 64-1600 sensitivity range, so I was keen to see what it could do.”
