Olympus Mju Stylus Tough 8000 Review Online!

Olympus Tough 8000

We've just published our review of the new Olympus Mju Stylus Tough 8000 - a compact 12 megapixel camera, with a wide angle 3.6x optical zoom lens, 2.7" screen, image stabilisation, tap controls and tough credentials, namely it's shockproof to 2m, waterproof to 10m, crushproof, and feezeproof to -10. It is available in blue, black, and silver for £250 from Amazon:

"The camera has quite rich, saturated, pleasing colours. There was good detail, and the camera took a number of pleasing images outside, with good contrast, with little or no chromatic aberations and purple fringing. In general 'normal' quality jpeg artefacts are not easily seen, however areas with strong contrasts benefit from use of the highest quality setting. Images are slightly soft, with some slight corner softness, but nothing too worrying."

Fujifilm FinePix F200EXR Reviews

Fuji F200EXR

DPReview have reviewed the new Fujifilm FinePix F200EXR - an update to the F100fd - it features a new 12 megapixel Super CCD EXR sensor that provides high resolution, high dynamic range (at 6mp), and high sensitivity with low noise (upto ISO6400 at 6mp). The camera features a wide angle 5x optical zoom lens, manual controls, anti shake sensor, 3" screen, SD/XD card support, and compact body available in silver or black in for £251.

"Followers of Fujifilm's compacts will see the F200 EXR as sitting in the shadow of the much sought-after F30 and F31fd, but for the wider market it's undoubtedly a much improved camera. It may not quite match the F31fd's noise performance at ISO 800 and upwards (or indeed its impressive battery life), but it's got a much nicer user interface"

Ricoh R10 Review at Trusted Reviews

Ricoh R10Trusted Reviews have reviewed the new Ricoh R10 - an update to the R8 - the camera features a new hand grip, a larger high resolution 3" screen, a new easy mode, a new auto level feature, new function button, and the same specifications as the R8, such as 10 megapixel sensor, 7.1x wide angle zoom, 1cm macro, anti-shake sensor and ISO1600. The R10 is available for £164

"The Ricoh R10 is a stylish, well-designed and well-made camera with an unusual specification and some innovative and useful features. It has a clever and easy-to-use interface, great handling and impressively fast performance, however it is let down badly by inferior image quality, especially at higher ISO settings, and also poor low-light focusing."

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX37 Review

Panasonic FX37DPInterface have reviewed the new ultra compact Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX37 - and update to the FX35 - key features are a 25mm Ultra-Wide-Angle* 5x Optical Zoom Lens (*35mm equivalent: 25-125mm), in Sleek, Super-Slim Profile, 10.1-megapixel sensor, Featuring Advanced Intelligent Auto Mode, Mega optical image stabilisation, 1280 x 720p motion video at 30 fps, and a 2.5" screen. The DMC-FX37 is available in silver, black and brown for £177

"The Panasonic Lumix FX37 is a very capable and very small digital camera with 10 megapixels, an ultra-wide 5X zoom lens and 2.5 inch LCD. I would say the FX37 has an advantage over the competition with its 5X zoom lens that starts at 25 mm. If you like snapping landscapes, big group shots or “self portraits” with mates in the pub, then don’t underestimate the potential of this lens."

"The results I got from the IXUS 980IS are good quality, colourful and sharp. Exactly what I expected, but does that mean that it's reliable or predictable? That depends on your own perception of the results. I don't like the portrait shots but I think for the resolution, the noise results are great."

Olympus Mju Stylus 1060 Review

Olympus Mju Stylus 1060DPInterface have reviewed the new Olympus Mju Stylus 1060 - an ultra compact camera with a 10 megapixel sensor, 7x optical zoom lens, 3" screen, dual image stabilisation, face detection, shadow adjustment, intelligent auto mode, XD and Micro SD support. The camera is available in Silver, Black and Green for £180:

"The Olympus Mju 1060 is a compact 10 megapixel camera with a huge 7X optical zoom lens which is something you wouldn’t expect in a camera this size. There’s a sizable 3 inch LCD on the back along with backlit buttons and an ISO range which reaches 6400 which makes it SOUND like a good low-light camera. Unfortunately, the reality is that the Mju 1060 produces good quality photos up till ISO 400 (ISO 800 if you’re willing to push it) and struggles to even focus in low-light."

Olympus FE-370 Review

Olympus FE-370DPInterface have reviewed the new Olympus FE-370 - the camera features an 8 megapixel sensor, face detection, and a compact body, it has a 5x optical zoom lens, and a 2.7" screen and is available in silver, blue, red and pink for £124

"The good points of the FE370 are the viewable LCD, its ability to support microSDHC (I’m saying this because xD-Picture cards are so proprietary) via the bundled adapter and various playback tools. No doubt the FE370 produces some pretty decent photos (some competition can do better though) but the camera still compromises other key areas of shooting such as performance and battery life."

Olympus Mju Stylus 1050SW Review

Olympus 1050SWCameralabs.com have reviewed the new Olympus Mju Stylus 1050SW - the ultra compact 10 megapixel camera is waterproof to 3m, shockproof to 1.5m, freezeproof to -10c, and features a 3x optical zoom lens, face detection, shadow adjustment, perfect shot preview, and 2.7" screen. It is available in black, gold, silver, pink and blue for £174

"The 1050 SW doesn’t mess too much with a winning formula, taking the earlier 850 SW, slightly boosting its resolution and screen size, while adding tap controls. That’s essentially about it though, and while it may have been sufficient without serious competition, Pentax has really taken the bull by the horns with its latest Optio W60."

Nikon Coolpix S60 Review

Nikon Coolpix S60NeoCamera have reviewed the new ultra compact Nikon Coolpix S60 - it features a huge 3.5" touchscreen, a 10 megapixel sensor with anti-shake, a 5x optical zoom lens, smile shutter, and HDMI connectivity. The S60 is available in a choice of Purplish Black, Pearl White, Bordeaux Red, Red, Pale Pink, or Rich Gold for £226:

"As an ultra-compact digital camera, the Nikon Coolpix S60 lives in the category with the most models. Luckily, this model does several things to distinguish itself. To start, its 3.5" LCD is the largest which can fit in an ultra-compact. Add a non-protruding slightly wide 5X optical zoom lens with stabilization and the S60 shows itself as a unique offering. The cost of this uniqueness is a touch-screen interface which can frustrate users trying to use the camera beyond pointing and shooting."

Pentax Optio M60 Review

Pentax Optio M60Trusted Reviews have reviewed the new Pentax Optio M60 - a compact 10 megapixel camera with a 5x optical zoom lens, a 2.5" screen and face recognition. The camera is available in silver, black, blue and red for £105

"The Pentax M60 shows that you don’t have to spend a fortune to get a decent camera. While it does have its limitations, for £100 it offers excellent build quality, great handling, a wonderfully easy-to-use interface and some fun features. Unfortunately its low price shows in its slow performance and poor overall image quality."

Sony Cybershot DSC-T77 Review

Sony T77Imaging Resource have reviewed the new 10 megapixel Sony Cybershot T77 - the ultra compact camera features a 3" touch screen, a 4x optical zoom lens with image stabilisation, and smile shutter. The DSC-T77 camera replaces the former T70 model and is available in brown, green, pink, black and silver for £166

"The casual photographer will appreciate this slim camera for its fun touchscreen and vibrant color. It's easy to take along and fun to shoot with. You don't pay too dearly for the subcompact size, as images are of good quality, and Sony's image-enhancement features, like Dynamic Range Optimization, help improve your results in tough situations."

Pentax Optio V20 Review

Pentax Optio V20Digital Camera Info have reviewed the new Pentax Optio V20 - a compact slim bodied 8 megapixel digital camera with a 5x optical zoom lens, 3" screen and face detection focus. The camera is available for £106:

"For the point-and-shooter who will never bother with manual controls, the Pentax Optio V20 deserves a look for its 5x zoom lens and handsome 3-inch screen in a pocket-friendly size and weight, especially if you can find it selling at a significant discount. While our lab tests turned up significant problems in the white balance system, the other results were acceptable if unexciting, and video performance was actually quite good."

"Overall the Canon PowerShot SD880 IS Digital ELPH is a camera that I would recommend to anyone looking for a stylish and capable ultra-compact camera with a wide-angle lens. The camera isn’t without its flaws (my biggest gripes are edge softness, no manual controls and loose rear dial) but if you can bear the small compromises, you’ll be happy with the rest of the camera – very good battery life, performance, large LCD and all."

Budget Digital Cameras Reviewed by Gizmodo

Canon IXUS 90Gizmodo have reviewed several budget cameras including the new Canon Digital IXUS 90 IS / SD790 IS - the ultra compact camera features a 10 megapixel sensor, a 3x optical zoom lens with optical image stabilisation, a 3" screen, and the battery life is rated at 330 shots. The IXUS 90 IS is available for £139:

"After all my testing, I'd recommend the Canon SD790 / IXUS 90. Sure, it didn't win every category, but it won the one that counts most—detail. It came first in the video category. And it never ever fell flat on its face."

Canon Digital IXUS 980 IS SD990 IS Review

Canon Digital IXUS 980 ISPhotography BLOG have reviewed the new Canon Digital IXUS 980 IS / SD990 IS, it's Canon's new compact 14.7 megapixel camera it features a 3.7x optical zoom, optical IS, 2.5" screen, optical viewfinder, manual controls, VGA video recording, and will be available in silver or black for £250:

"The Canon Digital IXUS 980 IS / PowerShot SD990 IS Digital ELPH is the current flagship of the IXUS / ELPH range, and the first to offer a true manual mode. While the range of f-stops selectable at any given focal length is rather restricted, probably due to the lack of a proper iris diaphragm, the 45 distinct shutter speeds and 6 different ISO settings still leave enough room for manoeuvre."

Nikon Coolpix S610 Review

Nikon Coolpix S610Cameras.co.uk have reviewed the new Nikon Coolpix S610 and S610c. The cameras feature the world's fastest startup time for cameras of their class featuring a 28mm lens, and optical image stabilisation. They feature a 10 megapixel sensor, a wide angle 4x optical zoom lens and the S610c adds wifi support. The S610 is available for £190

"The Nikon Coolpix S610 is not the most flexible digital camera around. If you are shooting landscape shots you can get some improvement if you use the landscape scene mode. It is a shame this camera struggles with more distant scenes as I have few complaints with other, closer in photos and the shutter lag and start up times are impressive."

"The Nikon S610 finds itself in the sea of high-resolution ultra-compacts with wide-angle lenses. At least 25 such cameras exist and, despite being slim and well-built, the S610 does not distinguish itself well. Not that it performs poorly, but one must ask why this model rather than another one."

Premium Compact Digital Cameras Reviewed

Panasonic FX150DPReview have reviewed several premium compact digital cameras including the Fuji FinePix F100fd and the new Panasonic Lumix FX150 - a 14.7 megapixel digital camera - it features a 28mm Wide Angle 3.6x optical zoom lens with image stabilisation, Intelligent Auto Mode with AF Tracking, Simple Manual Operation, up to ISO1600 at Full Resolution, and a 2.7" screen. It is available in silver or black for £205.

"Panasonic, like Canon, has a compact camera lineup that has been allowed to slowly evolve into a mature, refined range of products with the emphasis far more on useful photographic features and reliable automatic systems than on gadgetry and novelty. The FX150 feels and acts like a camera that was built to take pictures (something you simply can't say about them all), and for the most part it does so pretty well without needing constant supervision."

Fujifilm FinePix F100fd Review Online!

Fuji F100fdWe've just published our review of the new Fujifilm FinePix F100fd - the new "top of the range" F series camera features a 12 megapixel sensor, a wide angle 5x optical zoom lens, a 2.7" screen, Wide Dynamic Range, Dual Image Stabilisation (anti-shake sensor), Face Detection 3.0 Technology, and ISO upto 12800 (at 3mp). The Fuji F100fd is available for £160

"Overall this is an interesting and potentially impressive 12 megapixel compact digital camera that has great features that work well and gives good results. Although there are one or two manual options missing from the camera, there are plenty remaining to suit nearly all situations. If you're looking for a camera that takes excellent 6 - 12 megapixel photos, has a wide angle 5x zoom and image stabilisation, this is recommended. "

"I think the Sony DSC T500 will really appeal to people who like great looking gadgets. The HD quality movies and touch sensitive screen are more likely to be the selling points than the picture quality. The picture quality is o.k., but it is mid range rather than anything special."

It is available in silver or black for £205.

"Contrary to popular belief, such a high resolution compact camera can still produce very decent pictures. The Panasonic Lumix FX150 took good quality photos up till ISO 400, with the availability of ISO 800 for “just in case” situations. While colors were vivid and pictures were on the sharp side, the camera did suffer from a bit of detail loss at higher ISO settings."

It is available in black, gold, silver, pink and blue for £187

"This is a well-constructed metal-body camera that looks stylish and sophisticated while boldy going where a less ruggedized model would fear to tread. We like the multitude of scene modes, the high-speed still mode (albeit at reduced resolution) and the panoramic photo modes, which are easy to use and turn out fun results."

"The Canon Digital IXUS 870 IS / PowerShot SD880 IS Digital ELPH is probably the best-designed IXUS to date, both in the aesthetic and the functional sense. While our recent encounter with the Canon PowerShot E1 IS has convinced us that it's hard to be stylish on the cheap, there's no denying that the object of this present review is a major knock-out in the style department, even at a 40-50% price premium over the cheaper model."

It’s a little light on features, but the ones that it does have are useful and work well. The only downsides are its slightly awkward handling, an underpowered flash and the relatively high price."

"The Z300 isn't a bad camera, it's just thoroughly mediocre with an annoying menu system. It did very well in a couple of tests, like resolution, dynamic range and manual noise, but struggled with automatic noise levels, video resolution and white balance. In our speed tests it handled slowly, and the maximum shutter speed of 1/2 second without using a special scene mode is restrictive."

"The latest edition to the range, the Tough Smart 1050SW, is certainly no exception.
