Popular Photography review the Canon PowerShot G9 and writes - ‘After the disappointing lab results of its predecessor, the Canon PowerShot G7, we were a bit skeptical of the Canon PowerShot G9. Not anymore! In general we like what we see. We like Adaptive Noise RAW conversion. We like a compact camera that syncs with external strobes. We like full manual controls. And we like Scene Assist modes to help beginners get better with their compositions before venturing into the uncharted waters of full manual control. We love the Focus Confirm and face recognition instant playback. We like the high-quality half-camera, half-computer Panoramic capture mode. Overall, we like this camera a lot. However, we’re not so impressed with ISO 1600 image quality, nor the mostly useless low-resolution ISO 3200 mode.’
Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX33 Review at Trusted Reviews

Trusted Reviews has a review of the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX33 and writes, “Image quality is fortunately one of the areas in which Panasonic’s latest generation of cameras has made a lot of progress, but for some reason the company still insists on putting tiny 1/2.5-in sensors in all its cameras, including the FX33. Many other manufacturers are moving more towards larger sensors, because of the advantages in colour depth, dynamic range and noise control. As a result, all of these factors could be better in the results produced by the FX33, but to be fair none are a real problem. Colour rendition and exposure are generally accurate, and the overall level of detail is very good, certainly on a par with other high-quality 8MP cameras. The Venus Engine III provides a noticeable improvement in noise control over previous models, but even so there is some colour speckling visible at all but the lowest ISO settings. A lot of credit goes to the excellent lens, which produces superb edge-to-edge sharpness and relatively little wide-angle distortion.”

DigitalCameraInfo has a review of the Casio Exilim EX-Z75 and writes, “While the outside looks good, the inside needs some work. The Casio EX-Z75 runs a little behind the times. Consumers shouldn’t expect to find advanced features like mid-range optical zoom (above 3x) or optical image stabilization at the $200 price point, but the Exilim EX-Z75 is bested by some of its competitors that offer face detection technology, higher sensitivity ranges, or wide panoramic shooting capabilities. In general, the Casio Exilim EX-Z75 gives an average performance and suffices as a basic point-and-shoot, but there are more compelling options available for the same price.”
Samsung NV11 Review at Megapixel

Megapixel has a review of the Samsung NV11 and writes, “This second New Vision Samsung camera is much like the first in some respects, but adds a very good 5X optical zoom, making it more versatile than the NV10. The image quality it offers, when set to the highest (Super Fine) setting, is generally very good. Photographs captured under natural light turn out very well, and it is only under mixed lighting and when the flash is used that the auto white balance can have difficulty. The NV11 is, overall, a good camera that excels in certain areas, and offers an imaginative interface. It would, however, benefit from a less reflective monitor surface.”
Review of the Nikon D40x
Posted by Digi in Canon, General Electric, Nikon
ThinkCamera has a new review of the Nikon D40x. The D40x is a 10.2 Megapixel entry-level digital SLR aimed at general consumers, family users and photographic students.
“Nikon’s D40x takes great pictures, there are plenty of controls and it comes in at a terrific price. However, it’s essentially a D40 with more megapixels (one could say almost the same of the Canon 400D, too). More isn’t necessarily better; unless you print large or crop heavily, you may as well save yourself the £100 difference and go for the D40.
That aside, if you pick up a D40x then you’ll be happy with the results. We certainly wouldn’t kick one out of bed for eating biscuits.”

Looking for a review of the Casio Exilim EX-Z75 Digital Camera? The lastest one can be found right here. The 7-megapixel Casio Exilim EX-Z75, announced in January 2007, continues Casio’s tradition of good-looking, ultra-thin digital cameras. It carries a 3x optical zoom lens, a redesigned 2.6-inch LCD screen, and Casio’s anti-shake DSP system.
“The Casio Exilim EX-Z75 is geared toward style-conscious point-and-shooters. The best features of the camera are its slim figure and reasonable price, as it is Casio’s least expensive camera in the current product line. Other benefits include comprehensive Scene modes - 34 to be exact - built-in editing functions, and easy menu navigation.
Canon Digital IXUS 950 IS Review at PhotographyBLOG

PhotographyBLOG has a review of the Canon Digital IXUS 950 IS and writes, “when it comes to low light shooting without flash it’s another matter. Noise starts to creep in visibly above ISO 200, becoming more pronounced at ISO 800 and really quite intrusive at ISO 1600. That said, the IXUS 950 IS is pretty good at avoiding the effects of camera shake under such circumstances, and even at its highest ISO setting the effects are not quite as obviously Impressionistic, even ‘pointilist’, as some of its competitors. Generally speaking this is a camera you’ll be able to leave on auto and 90% of the time be rewarded with results that you’ll want to keep.”
Casio Exilim EX-Z1050 Review at DCResource

DCResource has a review of the Casio Exilim EX-Z1050 and writes, “While not perfect, photo quality was still very good for a compact, 10 Megapixel camera.

DCResource has a review of the Casio Exilim EX-Z1050 and writes, “While not perfect, photo quality was still very good for a compact, 10 Megapixel camera. The Z1050 generally took well-exposed photos, with very saturated colors. Purple fringing levels were fairly low, and the camera didn’t have much of the corner blurriness than plagues so many of these compact cameras. Noise wasn’t really a problem until ISO 800, and even then, it wasn’t so bad. The reason for the lack of noise is (of course) noise reduction, which makes the Z1050’s photos lean toward the soft side. Redeye is a big problem on this camera, and there’s no way to remove it without your computer.”
Kodak Easyshare Z712 IS Review at DPExpert

DPExpert has a review of the Kodak Easyshare Z712 IS and writes, “Once we had cranked down saturation and sharpness we enjoyed using this camera. With 7.4mp on a small sensor we expected noise to be a problem, but at ISO400 the pictures look as though they have been taken with film of the same speed. Noise is tight and more like grain. Resolution of fine detail is excellent and exposures are generally spot on. The macro mode is very good. Point-and-shooters should love this camera but it will also keep a more ambitious photographer happy.”
