Compact Digital Camera review: “The ABCs of Point-and-Shoot Cameras”

Just come across this new article from PC magazine. The title of the article is “The ABCs of Point-and-Shoot Cameras”. The writer of the article has a very details review on some Compact Digital Camera Best model available in the market today. Here are some highlights of the content:

The write arrange the models into 3 classes: under $200, between $200-$300 and $300+(according to their list price). It covers a wide range of brand like Canon, Sony, Fuji, Panasonic, Nikon, Kodak, Pentax and Casio. If you are in the market of buying your next compact digital camera, don’t miss out this article.

Canon PowerShot A590 IS (“IS” stands for image stabilization) is one of the under $200 model, it is their favorite budget compact camera(in fact, it is my favorite in this price range too), this model offers a number of advanced features such as face detection, image stabilization, and some manual exposure settings, for a very sweet $179.99.

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T2, however offer a cool feature which let you do in-camera editing through the touch screen controls so that you can, for example, remove red-eye from your shots before you even take the images off the camera. It also features 4GB of onboard storage, eliminating the need for memory cards.

The Nikon Coolpix P60 has another interesting feature: Its electronic viewfinder providing access to the entire menu system and letting you review images as well. (While an electronic viewfinder looks just like an optical viewfinder, the image you see is actually projected onto a tiny screen.). Why? You may ask….may be in case the environment is too bright to look at the LCD screen, or you drop the camera and the LCD screen broken?

Beside taking still pictures, compact digital camera also take video, in this area, two models need to mention: Kodak EasyShare M1033 offers the ability to record HD-quality video at a resolution of 1,280-by-720 at 30 frames per second, while Casio Exilim EX-Z9 and EX-Z80, are integrated with YouTube, so you can easily upload and title your videos without even visiting the site.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX3 digital camera review

 

Just read this article review(from pocket-lint.co.uk) of the new Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX3. A Compact Digital Camera Best target “enthusiast” photographers. It equips with a list of high-end features than other Compact, point and shoot digital cameras.

The LX3 offers a neat set of advanced features:

  • -          Optical image stabilization
  • -          Leica DC-Vario-Summicron, ultra wide-angle 24-60mm (35mm film equivalent) lens Venus Engine IV image processor
  • -          ISO 80, 100, 200, 400, 800, 1600 and 3200.
  • -          A tough all metal construction in 2 colors: Black and Silver
  • -          Picture in RAW format
  • -          AF/AE lock button
  • -          A new Intelligent Auto mode or “iA” (which is unerringly accurate at selecting the correct shooting mode for the scene presented to the lens.)

One thing need to note is that the zoom is only 2.5x optical (which I think is a bit small). Also the LX3 produce 10-megapixels pictures which other competitors in the same level may equip with higher megapixel with their cameras.
