General Electric G1 Review at Steve's Digicams
Source: steves-digicams.com

Steve's Digicams has a review of the GE G1: "Image quality when using 7M Best mode was only Ok for a 7-megapixel camera in this class. The majority of our outdoor samples showed good overall exposure and color balance, however, they were a bit soft. I also noticed above average amounts of noise at eve the lowest ISO 80 setting. This of course can only be seen when viewing an image at 100%. It is unlikely you will see anything in you prints as long as the sensitivity is not ISO 200. ... GE has created a nice "entry-level" digicam that offers some appealing features. However, I was a bit disappointed with the position of the zoom controls and shutter release. That said, this model has the ability to capture nice photos, and with all of the useful exposure modes, everyone in you household or office will enjoy using it. With 7-megapixels of resolution, you'll be able to create prints up to 13x19- inches or larger. With and MSRP of about $199 or less, the GE G1 offers an Ok value for a 7-megapixel ultra- compact digicam."

Canon to build $451 mln factory for key camera part
Source: reuters.com

"Canon Inc. will invest about 55 billion yen ($451 million) to build a new factory in Japan to double its production capacity of image sensors used in digital cameras. A spokesman for the world's largest digital camera maker said it broke ground in May on a new building on an existing site in Kanagawa Prefecture near Tokyo and expected it to start operations in July 2008. The factory will make complementary metal oxide semiconductors (CMOS), a component used in digital cameras and video cameras to convert light into an electric signal. The new plant will have roughly the same annual production capacity as another factory in Kanagawa that can churn out 3 million CMOS chips a year, the spokesman said."

Canon PowerShot A460 Review at Digital Camera Info
Source: digitalcamerainfo.com

Digital Camera Info has a review of the Canon PowerShot A460: "The A460 only extends its ISO up to 400, limiting its use indoors and in low light conditions; however, its image quality and performance characteristics in bright conditions are decent. The A460 won't be in the running for DCI Camera-of-the-Year, but it is a solid performer among near $100 models. Images from the A460 contained reasonably accurate colors, with acceptable dynamic range, and excellent white balance accuracy. We would have liked to see a stronger handling of noise at ISO 400, along with a wider sensitivity range, but it is after all, a $100-$150 camera. Among its direct competition, the A460 holds its own, though consumers willing to toss an extra $50-$100 in to the camera budget will find cameras of a different caliber."

Sony Cybershot DSC-H7 Review at DPReview
Source: dpreview.com

DPReview has a review of the Sony Cybershot DSC-H7 and writes, " if you want a genuinely affordable big zoom camera for snapping the family that you can leave on 'full auto' all the time - and you rarely print your pictures bigger than 6x4 inches - the H7 is (at as little as $350 online) certainly worth a closer look. But if you've got more exacting image quality standards, want to enlarge more or want to actually use all those advanced features I suspect that, like us, you're going to find the H7 disappointing. At least the H9 has a great screen to take your mind off the fiddly controls and less-than-stellar results; the H7 is what it is - a budget model that, unfortunately, performs like one."

Samsung S850 Review at Digital Camera Review
Source: digitalcamerareview.com

Digital Camera Review has a review of the Samsung S850: "The Samsung S850 is a nice-looking, well equipped compact digital camera. It has the nice looks that the Samsung NV line brought to the market with black body, blue accents and quality construction. It also has a full complement of manual exposure modes that isn't seen as often in point and shoots. The S850 is also my preferred compact camera form factor - something just a bit larger than an ultra-compact with a nice pronounced battery compartment/hand grip. Besides all this, the S850 has just average image quality, specifically blurry details and very oversatured color reproduction. Camera performance (shutter lag, shot to shot times) is just about average and battery life is good. It's very hard to recommend this camera when it's competing against cameras like the Canon Powershot A570 IS, which has a similar form factor, similar shooting modes, an optical image stabilization system, and face detection."
