Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T100 Review at DCResource
Source: dcresource.com
DCResource has a review of the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T100 : "Photo quality was generally good, though there were some annoyances. The camera took well-exposed photos, with accurate color and average sharpness. Purple fringing was not a problem. The T100 has problems with corner blurriness, redeye, and noise reduction artifacting, though. The first item won't be an issue for most people, the second issue can be at least partially resolved using the redeye removal tool, but there's not much you can do for number three. You'll see a few noise reduction artifacts at the lowest ISOs, but they don't really become obvious until ISO 200 and 400. Using the highest ISO settings (800 and above) is not a good idea, as your photos will have flat color and tons of detail loss from noise reduction."

Panasonic DMC TZ3 Review at Cameras.co.uk
Source: cameras.co.uk
Cameras.co.uk has a review of the Panasonic DMC TZ3: "I am happy with the levels of sharpness the DMC TZ3 manages to achieve. The picture is a good one, although there is a small loss of detail from sun glare. I have also noticed that some of the blue lines on the boats have a purple tinge to them. ... If you would like a super zoom digital camera, but have always been put off by their bulk and complexity then the Panasonic DMC TZ3 could be just what you are looking for. Picture quality is good, usability is excellent and the camera also offers a wide angle lens."

Olympus SP-510 UZ Review at Layers Magazine
Source: layersmagazine.com
Its ISO settings are from 50–4000; however, it’s marred by appreciable noise at ISO settings higher than 200. And image stabilization isn’t optical but achieved by boosting the ISO ... In operation, shooting in RAW is slow with a 7-second shutter lag between shots, and it can only shoot two RAW files in continuous mode. In bright light, images are washed out on the 2.5" LCD; however, you can switch from the LCD to an EVF for composing—both screens display the same data. A wonderful onboard how-to guide gives exposure solutions to common situations, such as backlighting, and then automatically sets the camera.

Fujifilm FinePix F40fd Review at Trusted Reviews
Source: trustedreviews.com
It is the F40fd’s high-ISO performance that really stands out. Fujifilm is the only manufacturer that has really cracked image noise, by a combination of larger than average sensors with larger than average photocells, and vastly superior image processing. The F40fd has a maximum ISO setting of 2000, and produces usable images at this setting, with accurate colour balance, minimal loss of detail and an acceptable level of noise. I’m not exaggerating when I say that its image quality at 1600 ISO is better than many cameras can manage at 400. ... Fujifilm continues to demonstrate that it is the only manufacturer that has successfully addressed the issue of image noise. The Finepix F40fd is an attractively designed, extremely well made camera with a good range of features and outstanding image quality. It is a bit lacking in overall speed, but its exceptional low-light and high-ISO performance are better than any other compact on the market - except another Fuji.

Kodak EasyShare C653 Review at LaptopMag
Source: laptopmag.com
LaptopMag has a review of the Kodak EasyShare C653: "On our tests, photos were slightly undersaturated, but colors and focus were decent. The manual setting lets you bump the ISO up to 1250 for low-light shots, but it's buried in the menus. We recommend maxing out at 800 for the best results. While the EasyShare C653 starts up in around two seconds, there's a three- to four-second delay between shots, which is on the slow side, and VGA video clips are captured at a low 10 fps."
