Fujifilm FinePix Z33WP Review
Gizmodo has reviewed the new Fujifilm FinePix Z33WP – an ultra compact waterproof camera with a 10 megapixel sensor, 3x optical zoom lens and 2.7″ screen, the camera is available in numerous colours: black, blue, gold, pink and green, for £111 (in blue) and takes SD cards:
“The Fujifilm Z33WP has a small, beautiful case and for some reason, out of many cameras, I choose to bring it on several recent trips. Size does matter when trying to travel light, I suppose. The Price: $180…which is astoundingly cheap for a quality (although not top line) waterproof camera.”

Canon Powershot G11 Review at Gizmodo
Gizmodo has reviewed the new Canon Powershot G11 – it features a wide angle 5x optical zoom lens (28 – 140mm), with optical image stabilisation, 2.8″ twist screen with 461k pixels, 10 megapixel sensor, 1cm macro, VGA 30fps video, ISO3200. The 10 megapixel sensor and new DIGIC 4 processor allows better low light performance with lower noise. The G11 is available priced at £433.
“So, there are two ways to look at the G11: It’s an amazing street camera. More discreet than a DSLR, but more powerful than a run-of-the-mill point-and-shoot. You can’t stuff it in your jeans pocket, but that’s fine, because you want to sling it over your shoulder anyways. The other way is that you can buy a more versatile entry-level DSLR that’s not much larger for around the same price, especially if you step back a generation or so.”

Cameralabs has reviewed the new Canon Powershot A2100 IS – it replaces the A2000 IS – a 12 megapixel camera with a 6x optical zoom lens, 3″ screen, optical image stabilisation, VGA video, it is available in black from Amazon UK:
“The A2100′s Digic 4 sensor produces 12.1 megapixel images measuring 4000×3000 pixels at the highest resolution setting. A new Smart Auto shooting mode uses Canon’s Scene Detection Technology to asses the scene and automatically select one of 18 scene modes for the best results. Easy mode, introduced in the A2000 IS, now also utilizes scene detection, but there’s no return to the manual shooting modes of the early days of the A range.”

Canon Digital IXUS 95 IS SD1200 IS Review
Imaging Resource has reviewed the new Canon Digital IXUS 95 IS (SD1200 IS) – a new ultra compact 10 megapixel camera with a 3x optical zoom lens, 2.5″ screen, image stabilisation, and VGA video. It is available in silver, grey, blue or pink for £137. The Canon Digital IXUS 95 IS has been updated by the Digital IXUS 105 IS.
“Small, very user-friendly and capable in most situations, the Canon SD1200 upholds the ELPH reputation for style and quality. With a 10-megapixel CCD and 3x optical zoom lens, the PowerShot SD1200 IS gets high-resolution images with good quality. Its Smart Auto mode is trustworthy in its ability to assess most common shooting situations and gets better images than you would with a straight autoexposure mode”

Sony Cybershot TX1 Review at IR
Imaging Resource has reviewed the new Sony Cybershot TX1 – with a 4x optical zoom lens, Sweep Panorama mode, optical image stabilisation, it features a 10 megapixel back-illuminated CMOS sensor, HD 720p movie recording, 3″ screen, and 10fps shooting. It will be available for £262
“The Sony TX1 has the looks, too, with that handsome T-Series styling we’ve admired in the past — not just for its dazzle, but for its functionality too. I had no qualms about the Sony TX1′s image quality either, although the usual caveats about soft corners and folded optics still apply. The 10-megapixel images the Sony TX1 captured were color-accurate and sharply detailed, a pleasure to view.”

Panasonic Lumix FP8 Review
Cameras.co.uk has reviewed the new Panasonic Lumix FP8 – the new ultra compact camera features a 28mm wide angle 4.6x optical zoom lens (28 – 128mm), and new Power Optical Image Stabilisation (O.I.S.), a 2.7″ screen, HD 720p Video at 30fps, 12 megapixel sensor, ultra high-speed start-up of approx. 0.95 seconds, and LED Illumination Button. The camera is available in silver, black, and red for £189.
“The Panasonic Lumix DMC FP8 is a 12 megapixel, pocket camera. One of the big attractions for me is the speedy response of the Lumix DMC FP8. It is lightening fast to turn on and there is little delay between pressing the shutter button and the picture being taken. Key features include image stabilisation and High Definition movies. You can zoom in and out while shooting a movie too. There is a 4.6x, wide able lens. Zoom can be increased to 9.1x when shooting at lower resolutions.”
