Imaging Resource reviewed the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX5 digital camera on 18 March 2010 . They said: "That's a longer list of Cons than I expected. The Con items themselves represent relatively minor issues or misplaced expectations whereas the Pro items represent real value. So don't let the list fool you.
Let the Sony HX5V fool you instead. Turn it on, compose the image and fire. Don't worry about the settings except to ask yourself if you should be in Program Auto, HDR, HHT or iSweep Panorama. And ..."

PhotographyBLOG reviewed the Canon PowerShot SD3500 IS digital camera on 18 March 2010 . They said: "Despite the Canon IXUS 210's undeniably slick touch-screen interface, £349.00 / $329 is a lot of money for what is at heart a point and shoot camera, especially for one that only delivers average image quality.
The IXUS 210 is fun and surprisingly intuitive to use given its almost complete reliance on the well-thought-out touch-screen control system, although we missed the quicker-to-use hybrid approach of its predecessor model. The ability to ..."

Luminous Landscape reviewed the Pentax 645D digital camera on 17 March 2010 . They said: "The 645D was the star of the Pentax booth with a counter called “Touch and Try” making it possible to play with six production bodies (the firmware is still undergoing final tweaks). Very large prints made from 645D files were also on display (they must have been 2 meters wide) and I have to say that coming from a stitching background, I was impressed by the quality achieved with a ..."

Steves Digicams reviewed the Canon PowerShot A3100 IS digital camera on 17 March 2010 . They said: "Canon's A3100 IS is an affordable, compact entry-level model that provides you with excellent image quality and decent performance. Featuring a 12.1-Megapixel imaging sensor, 4x optical zoom with optical image stabilization, smart auto and face detection, you will be very happy with the large set of features that are included. With a MSRP of US $179.99, this is a great compact model for the home, office or as someone's first ..."

DCResource reviewed the Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS7 digital camera on 16 March 2010 . They said: "With the Lumix DMC-ZS7, Panasonic has tried to improve on a camera that didn't need a whole lot of improving. In most respects, the ZS7 is better than the ZS3 that it replaces, offering manual controls, a built-in GPS, improved image stabilization, faster autofocus, enhanced image sharpening, and more. Some of those features I'd consider "must haves" (manual controls), while others are "nice to have" (GPS). At the same time, ..."

PhotographyBLOG reviewed the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FP3 digital camera on 16 March 2010 . They said: "So do the features of the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FP3 collectively stack up to offer yet another candidate for the casual photographer's perfect travel companion? The inclusion of HD video (but not HDMI connectivity) alongside the whopping stills resolution is a bonus, as is the slightly bigger zoom capacity than usually found in this class of compact, but ultimately there's little that's revolutionary about this camera. That's OK, because for the ..."

DigitalReview reviewed the Canon EOS 550D digital camera on 16 March 2010 . They said: "Based on the differences highlighted above, Canon could have placed themselves in a stronger position versus the competition with the Rebel T2i / EOS 550D by not increasing the resolution to 18MP on an APS-C size sensor.
While the Canon Rebel T2i / 550D does feature some welcome additions compared to the Canon Rebel T1i / EOS 500D, like the impressive 1.04 million dot anti-reflective 3:2 LCD monitor, 1080P HD ..."

DigitalCameraReview reviewed the Canon PowerShot SD1400 IS digital camera on 14 March 2010 . They said: "Like its predecessor, I enjoyed spending time with the SD1400 IS. It's small, sleek and easily transportable, and has very good build quality. It takes nice-looking photos and movies and has many interesting features. It has a high-quality lens that takes sharp pictures with small amounts of distortion.
The camera does have some limits: low light ability, relatively short focal range, and limited manual controls. But it's a solid buy if ..."

DPInterface reviewed the Olympus E-P2 digital camera on 13 March 2010 . They said: "The Olympus PEN E-P2 is, for most part, an identical twin to the E-P1 – Offering the same retro look (now in black!) combined with solid build quality , 12 megapixel LiveMOS sensor, sensor-shift image stabilization, full manual controls and 720p movie mode. And as I mentioned in the E-P1 review that it has a feature set very close to its E620 digital SLR counterpart (right down till the menus), ..."

Imaging Resource reviewed the Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS7 digital camera on 12 March 2010 . They said: "The Panasonic ZS7 and the Sony HX5V are so different it's not prudent to recommend one over the other. But after reading both detailed reviews (stay tuned for the HX5V's), you shouldn't have any doubts about which one best fits your style.
I like them both so much that I finally understand why pants come with at least two pockets. I had a little more trouble with the Panasonic ZS7 because ..."
