Nikon Coolpix S500 Review at CNET
Source: reviews.cnet.com
CNET has a review of the Nikon Coolpix S500:" If you can stay at a low ISO setting and keep your subjects well lit, the S500's photos can actually look quite good. Fine details come out crisp and sharp, remaining generally unmolested by processing artifacts. Colors appear neutral and saturated. Of course to get these results, you need to keep your ISO sensitivity low or you'll just find yourself with a noise-filled mess. The stainless steel body and handy click wheel are two great touches I'd love to see on any camera, but they can't make up for the S500's flaws. It shoots too slowly and generates unreasonable levels of noise at ISO 400 and higher. It's a nice, if sluggish, snapshot camera in bright light, but don't expect to get any decent fast or low-light shooting done with it."

Webble Launch at NeoCon 2007
Source: thewebble.com
Developed by three award-winning product designers, the Webble™ embraces the concept of mobility and a belief that ergonomic can be stylish and fun. "When we looked at the best foot rests available today, we saw a huge oppor opportunity for innovation in both function and form," says Steve Vassallo, founder of BriteObjects. "Upon investigating the category further, we became encouraged by the research that pointed to the physiological benefits of leg activity while seated, and with this in mind, we decided to depart from the static, almost orthopedic aesthetic of most foot rests, and instead focus on the positive expe experiences associated with free motion and flexibility," he adds.

Nikon Coolpix P5000 at PopPhoto

PopPhoto has a review of the Nikon Coolpix P5000:"At ISO 64 and 100, we rank Image Quality as Excellent, thanks to resolution averaging more than 2000 lines, Excellent color accuracy, and noise levels of Low and Moderately Low. Rising noise levels drop overall IQ to Extremely High at ISO 200. And as the noise at ISO 400 crosses into Unacceptable, we still found its pictures quite acceptable. ... keep the ISOs down, and you can pack nearly the picture-taking power of a D40x in a shirt pocket."

Fujifilm FinePix Z5fd Review at Gizmodo
Source: gizmodo.com
The most trumpeted feature is an auto-resizing tool that lets you shoot at full resolution, then do a "save as" at 640x480, the better to fit on your little patch of real estate in the blogosphere. When you are reviewing your shots, you just hit the F button and then select "Trimming for Blog." You can crop or not, but either way, you save the file in the low-res format. It's a great idea, but there's this problem: The largest image we typically run on the Giz is 500 pixels across. I don't know what fancy blog Fujifilm had in mind, but I need to shrink things down a little tighter than VGA res. Also, there's no file optimization. The resulting file is still over 100KB, rather than a nice tight 25KB.

Fujifilm Finepix S5700 Review at DPExpert
Source: dpexpert.com.au
The Finepix S5700 is a lot of camera for the money. Neither the camera nor the instruction book treats the user like an idiot. There is a built-in assumption that the customers may be point-and-shooters but it costs no more to cater for those who want to expand their photography experience. The only issue that stops the camera being highly recommended is the image noise. If you can live with an ISO200 limit then it deserves consideration.

Fujifilm FinePix F40fd Review at CNET
Source: reviews.cnet.com
Image quality is very good, with accurate-looking colors, though we did notice a minor amount of purple fringing in some photos. The camera's automatic white balance produces slightly warm images under incandescent lighting, but does a nice job of neutralizing colors when shooting under fluorescent lighting or natural daylight. There's an impressive amount of sharpness, though of course, some of this becomes obscured at higher ISOs. We saw some ISO noise even at the camera's lowest sensitivity setting of ISO 100, though it's only really noticeable on computer monitors and won't show up in prints.
