Digital Camera Review

ABCNews has a review of the Nikon Coolpix S51C and writes:

The Coolpix S51c is an 8.1 megapixel digital point-and-shoot camera with the ability to transfer images via a Wi-Fi connection. The camera comes with six months free T-Mobile Hotspot access, and is able to connect to public and private Wi-Fi connections. …

The ISO range for this camera is very expansive and goes from 100 to 1600 on manual, and 100 to 800 on auto. The wide 3-inch LCD viewing screen is a wonderful addition and gives users a better view of what they are shooting. The camera battery charges in about two hours and will last for about 150 shots. …

Although the camera is well-designed, it would be better suited to fast photography if it had a better response to shooting and focusing. It seems as though the camera was designed around the Wi-Fi feature instead of its ability to shoot.

Trusted Reviews has a review of the Casio Exilim EX-S880 and writes:

The Exilim EX-S880 is an 8.1-megapixel, 3x zoom ultra-compact camera featuring a 2.8-inch high-resolution widescreen monitor. It will come as little surprise to anyone who watches the digital camera market that externally the S880 is almost identical to its predecessor. It has exactly the same strong and stylish steel body, with exactly the same slim dimensions, just 94.5 x 60.4 x 17.3mm, making it once again one of the thinnest cameras on the market. …

The S880’s performance figures make impressive reading. The camera starts up in a brisk 1.6 seconds, and shuts down again very nearly as quickly. The autofocus system is, as usual for Casio, exceptionally fast, which contributes to its impressive 1.5-second shot-to-shot time in single shot mode. In normal-speed continuous shooting it can shoot at one shot a second until the memory card is full, while in high-speed continuous mode it shoots at three frames a second, although only in 2.0-megapixel resolution. …

With the Exilim EX-S880, Casio once again proves that it is a force to be reckoned with in the digital camera market. Although it is competing with some very impressive products from other manufacturers, there are few that can match its combination of ultra-compact size, excellent build quality, striking design, crisp performance, superior image quality and fantastic value for money. If you’re looking for a pocket compact the S880 should be near the top of your list.

The Canon SD950 includes a 12.1 megapixel, 1/1.7-inch imager and a Canon-branded 3.7x optical zoom lens.

The PowerShot SD950 IS’s Display button has been moved down, joining the Menu button just under the Touch control dial. Above the Touch control dial, the new Playback button joins the Share/Print button. …

Featuring a 12.1 megapixel CCD, 3.7x optical zoom lens, and well-designed user interface, the PowerShot SD950 IS Digital ELPH has a compact body style that is well suited for travel. Exposure remains under automatic control, and its 11 pre-programmed Scene modes help with more tricky subjects.

Pocket Lint reviews the Nikon Coolpix S510 and writes:

The Nikon Coolpix S510 updates the S500 and has the same basic feature set and handling characteristics (check the S500 test as well for specifics on some of those similar features) as that camera. However, the Face Priority AF and lens shift VR (Vibration Reduction) buttons have been removed from the top of the camera leaving just the on/off, shutter buttons plus a LED indicator that lights up when you turn the thing on. …

The VR technology (borrowed from Nikon’s professional spec lenses) can be used across two modes: “On” (all the time) and “Response Priority” where shutter release takes priority even if the image is not fully stabilised. But because the button for accessing the VR modes has been stripped from the top plate (along with the Face Priority AF button) you have a less user friendly need to preset the VR modes in menus. Ditto the AF set up.  …

Brilliant build and pricing, big fat dollops of image quality and great features but with a few demerits in terms of user control, the Nikon Coolpix S510 is nevertheless well worth the money for anyone in the game for a well made high resolution compact digital camera.

SAN DIEGO, Oct. 23, 2007 – It will be easy to keep this season’s holiday photos in one convenient location with Sony’s new mega-capacity Cyber-shot® DSC-T2 digital camera.

The 8-megapixel model features 4GB of internal memory and can store up to 40,000 VGA-quality photos or 1,000 8-megapixel pictures, eliminating the need to manage multiple media cards. And, you won’t spend hours trying to find your pictures on this camera.

‘Tis The Season For Photo Sharing
The camera’s album folder makes it easy to organize and access thousands of photos in-camera. Images can be viewed in chronological order and displayed in a helpful calendar view. By installing the bundled Picture Motion Browser software, you can also view images by events like birthdays or Sunday BBQs.

Beloved photos can be selected and moved to the camera’s “favorites” folder for virtually instant retrieval, without having to navigate through hundreds of pictures. In favorites, photos can be arranged in six separate subfolders with a touch of a finger.

The “sharemark” folder can store those photos and videos deemed worthy for sharing beyond the camera onto the web. The T2 model is pre-loaded with Sony PMB Portable software, a user-friendly application that automatically runs when the device is connected to a compatible PC via the supplied USB cable. The software lets you publish photos and videos directly to popular web sharing sites, such as Crackle™, Flickr™, Photobucket™, Shutterfly™ and YouTube™.

Holiday Snapshots Made Easy
Designed to be both powerful and stylish for the holidays, the camera has a new look with a compact silver body; black LCD frame; and a sliding lens cover available in blue, green, pink, white or black. The fashionable Sony LCS-TWE carrying case is also available in the same colors to match the camera.

Its touch-panel LCD screen replaces small buttons with on-screen icons and a user-friendly interface to make camera operation fast and simple. You can touch the screen to select the subject you want to focus on (shooting mode) and where you want to zoom in (playback mode).

Sony’s distinctive “smile shutter” function makes capturing informal portraits and family snapshots effortless. The function automatically detects and captures a person smiling without the need to press the shutter. If there are several people in the frame, you can select the primary subject for the camera to watch by touching the screen. A sequence of up to six smiling shots can be taken without the need to manually press the shutter.

Combined with such technologies as face detection, optical image stabilization and high sensitivity (ISO 3200), the camera is equipped to capture life-like holiday memories.

Photos As Holiday Entertainment
Photo viewing can be festive with the camera’s new scrapbooking feature, which allows you to choose up to 16 colorful designs to view photos on the camera’s anti-reflective screen. The unit also lets you add up to eight different creative effects to your photos, such as blurring and filter effects.

For the ultimate in photo viewing, you can gather family and friends around a high-definition television set and enjoy memories in full 1080 HD resolution. The T2 camera can be connected to the TV set via HD component cable or an HD cradle (both sold separately). Equipped with a built-in slide show function, the camera lets you view photos, complete with dynamic transitions choreographed to your choice of programmed music clips or by adding your own.

The Cyber-shot DSC-T2 digital camera will ship in December for about $350. Additional accessories will include batteries, travel chargers, sports packs and cases. All can be purchased online at sonystyle.com, at Sony Style® retail stores (www.sonystyle.com/retail), and at authorized regional dealers.
