LaptopMag has a review of the Olympus Stylus 770 SW:"Photos taken with the Stylus 770 SW were better than what
the Stylus 720 SW produced. Our test shots were only slightly
undersaturated, and the colors were accurate. Noise at ISO 200 and 400
wasn't an issue on our tests. When we bumped the ISO up to 800 or 1600,
however, quality suffered, and the sharpness dropped considerably. ...
If you're looking for a svelte but tough digital camera that can go
everywhere--and we mean everywhere, including underwater and in the
snow--the Olympus Stylus 770 SW is definitely worth a look."
DigicamReview has a review of the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ8: "The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ8 is an excellent ultra zoom
digital camera - image quality is very good with great colour and
detail although noise and lack of detail at the higher ISO settings
causes some concern. The camera offers an excellent Leica 12x optical
zoom lens with optical image stabilisation, helping you get sharp,
crisp, blur free images even in low light. The camera is very solidly
built and feels comfortable to use thanks to a decent hand grip and
good button layout. The camera has a clear and easy to see screen, and
excels in ease of use, providing quick and easy access to all it's
features. The camera responds quickly with a quick focusing time, fast
shutter response, and extremely quick 3fps continuous shooting mode. As
well as offering all this, the Panasonic is one of the cheapest ultra
zoom digital cameras to feature optical image stabilisation, making
this an excellent choice!"
Digital Camera Review has a review of the Canon Powershot SD850 IS: "The Canon SD850 IS is a stylish, well-built compact
digital camera that produces great quality images and color while
requiring minimal involvement from its operator. The camera lacks
manual controls, but offers a number of specialized scene modes in
addition to the standard “auto” shooting mode, as well as image
stabilization, up to 1600 ISO sensitivity and good shutter response
time. The 4x zoom lens lacks the focal length to bring distant objects
truly close, but for normal subjects the camera performs admirably."
CNET has a review of the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H9: "Under the right circumstances, the photos look very good. Those include shooting at sensitivity settings of ISO 200 or lower, in bright sunlight. Thanks to the fast continuous shooting, solid stabilization and reliable center-point focus, the H9 delivered the best results I've had so far shooting dogs in the park. The EVF updates quickly enough to make it possible. The automatic white balance does a solid job, if a bit cool, and colors look bright and saturated. ... If you shoot primarily outdoors in daytime--especially sports, children and animals--and don't find the interface quite as crazy-making as I do, the H9 is a great choice."
Steve's Digicams has a review of the Canon PowerShot TX1: "the TX1's image quality results were very pleasing. When
shooting outdoors, our sample images were sharp from edge to edge and
colors look very natural. The exposure system also does and excellent
job, producing beautiful sky detail. Noise levels are average for a
7-megapixel consumer model, becoming more noticeable as the sensitivity
is increased. Our portrait results were also good, even though Canon
only rate the flash rage at 6.6 feet at wide angle (ISO Auto.) ...
Canon's Powershot TX1 is an interesting 7-megapixel model. While it's
not as comfortable to hold in your hands as Sanyo's Xacti series m
CNET has a review of the Canon ESO-1D Mark III: "Images shot with the Canon EOS 1D Mark III can be
absolutely stunning. Colors look extremely accurate, and the automatic
white balance does an excellent job of neutralizing colors under a
variety of lighting situations. The only times it became confused was
in situations in which there was mixed lighting, and even then it
produced pleasing, if not absolutely spot-on results. If paired with a
sharp lens, the 1D Mark III can produce images with a vast amount of
fine detail. However, where this camera really shines is its ultralow
noise. Even at its highest sensitivity setting of ISO 6,400, we were
able to make pleasing prints. ... If you can afford the cost of the 1D
Mark III, and are a Canon shooter who doesn't absolutely need the
higher resolution of the 16.6-megapixel 1Ds Mark II, then this camera
is a no-brainer."
