DPInterface reviewed the Canon PowerShot SD780 IS digital camera on 30 April 2009 . They said: "The Canon PowerShot SD780 IS Digital ELPH aka Digital IXUS 100 is a stylish, small digital camera that has high-resolution, a HD movie mode and optical viewfinder. As you can probably tell, the SD780 won’t have any problems fitting into even the smallest of pockets, purses or bag compartments. It’s well-built and easy to hold and operate for most part, except the really tiny mode switch on the back. Perhaps ..."

DPReview reviewed the Fujifilm FinePix F200EXR digital camera on 30 April 2009 . They said: "Followers of Fujifilm's compacts will see the F200 EXR as sitting in the shadow of the much sought-after F30 and F31fd, but for the wider market it's undoubtedly a much improved camera. It may not quite match the F31fd's noise performance at ISO 800 and upwards (or indeed its impressive battery life), but it's got a much nicer user interface, a considerably more flexible lens and accepts a wider range ..."

PhotographyBLOG reviewed the Casio Exilim EX-FC100 digital camera on 29 April 2009 . They said: "The Casio EX-FC100 is certainly one of the most innovative compact cameras of 2009, with an obvious focus on capturing fast-moving subjects and helping you not to miss that decisive moment. The ability to shoot 30 images in one second at the touch of a button is amazing for any camera, DSLR or compact, and if you can't choose the best shot, then the EX-FC100 can do that for you ..."

Engadget reviewed the Nikon D5000 digital camera on 28 April 2009 . They said: "So, the bottom line. The final say. The wrap-up. Is the D5000 worth its weight in gold? Unfortunately, it's not really a cut and dry answer. For the DSLR newcomer, we view the D5000 as a perfect device for those willing to pony up the $850 (kit) / $729 (body only), but only if you're honestly not planning on utilizing the video mode extensively. We're exceptionally anxious to see what ..."

DPInterface reviewed the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T900 digital camera on 28 April 2009 . They said: "The Sony Cyber-shot T900 is a very slim digital camera with a very big touchscreen. The camera is one of the slimmest cameras in the market yet it has a nice 4X zoom lens with optical image stabilization. There’s a huge 3.5 inch touchscreen with good visibility on the back – unfortunately, the camera’s ergonomics suffer, partly due to that huge screen; there’s barely any space for your hands to ..."

DCResource reviewed the Nikon Coolpix S630 digital camera on 28 April 2009 . They said: "On paper, the Nikon Coolpix S630 sounds like an impressive camera. It offers a 7X zoom lens in a stylish, compact body that would normally house a 3X or 4X lens. It has all the required point-and-shoot features, including auto scene selection, face/smile/blink detection, and help screens for every menu option. Unfortunately, the Coolpix S630 fails at its most important task: taking a quality photograph. There are numerous other issues, ..."

CameraLabs reviewed the Canon PowerShot SX200 IS digital camera on 27 April 2009 . They said: "As we said at the top of this page, the PowerShot SX200 IS is Canon’s first attempt at a pocket super-zoom, and it’s certainly impressive, packing a 12x zoom, 3in screen, HD movies, an HDMI port and full manual control into a pocketable form factor. Viewed in isolation it’s a highly compelling prospect.
But the big issue facing the SX200 IS is its arch rival, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ7 / ZS3, ..."

DigitalCameraInfo reviewed the Nikon D3x digital camera on 27 April 2009 . They said: "Reviewing the Nikon D3x is a difficult task, as the camera is designed with a very specific type of user in mind. With a body that costs $8000 paired with a $2000 24-70mm f/2.8 lens, this camera is a substantial investment, a business expense rather than a personal purchase. In terms of image quality performance, the D3x did well, but scored slightly lower overall than the far less expensive Nikon ..."

ePhotozine reviewed the Pentax X70 digital camera on 24 April 2009 . They said: "For the first camera in the superzoom range, Pentax have done quite well. I think they've started as they mean to go on by putting one of the largest zooms available in the camera. A lot of the other features are found on basic compacts and I think are simply there to bulk the camera out and keep it uniform with the rest of the range.
Noise needs to be addressed ..."

NeoCamera reviewed the Fujifilm FinePix F200EXR digital camera on 24 April 2009 . They said: "There is a new champion among ultra-compacts, the Fuji Finepix F200 EXR. Not only does it equal in terms of noise the performance of the F100fd, it adds improved dynamic-range, faster performance and more advanced controls.
While image quality is at its best, with exceptionally low image noise, excellent dynamic-range, accurate colors and good image sharpness, this is one of the most complex ultra-compact digital cameras. Its large number of modes ..."

DigitalCameraReview reviewed the Nikon Coolpix S230 digital camera on 23 April 2009 . They said: "Did the S230 deliver the basic image quality and fun-factor we were looking for? With a few reservations, I'd say it did. In good light, it captured some nice images. Colors are slightly saturated, but not to an extreme.
When the sun goes down, though image quality declines and the flash becomes a necessity. Aside from that, the 3.0 inch display brought some flair to an otherwise basic point-and-shoot ..."

PhotographyBLOG reviewed the Nikon D3x digital camera on 22 April 2009 . They said: "It's fair to say from our findings that the Nikon D3x is pretty much a re-badged D3 with twice the pixel count but a slower continuous shooting speed; therefore the D3 remains alongside it as a valued component of the range in its own right. It's worth noting too that no other Nikon DSLR currently comes close to matching the D3x's pixel count – indeed the D3, D700 and D300 ..."

DPReview reviewed the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX1 digital camera on 22 April 2009 . They said: "The HX1 presents a very attractive package to the potential buyer. The large and versatile zoom range that extends from moderate wide angle to extreme telephoto, the HD video recording, very fast continuous shooting speeds, and unique shooting modes all contained in a well built, mini-SLR style body all go some way to tugging at your purse strings. While the CMOS sensor used in the HX1 doesn't produce better or ..."

The L20 offers 10 megapixels of resolution, a large 3 inch LCD and a 3.6X zoom lens which is unfortunately slow and has no image stabilization.
As you’d probably expect from an affordable, entry-level camera like this one, the Coolpix L20 doesn’t sport any manual controls or a sexy, slim design. In fact, things are just the opposite – ..."

Imaging Resource reviewed the Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS3 digital camera on 21 April 2009 . They said: "Covering a range from 25-300mm, the Panasonic Lumix ZS3 is a great companion, whether you're going out for a walk or on a long trip. Panasonic took a few simple steps to make the ZS3's interface easier to use, and the results will appeal to most users. What I liked most was having a zoom lens that was long enough to encompass my vision: allowing me to shoot both very ..."

DigitalCameraReview reviewed the Casio Exilim EX-FH20 digital camera on 21 April 2009 . They said: "Casio has really pulled ahead of the pack when it comes to high speed shooting with the FH20. This camera is like no other on the market (well, other than the Casio Exilim F1) and, in that regard, is a star.
Unfortunately, as a high speed camera and as an ultrazoom, the FH20's image quality – both still and video – isn't great. But if capturing action is your thing, then ..."

It features one of the longest optical zoom ranges on the market, a large tilting monitor for creative composition, and a number of neat gadgets in addition to simply feeling good in your hands. If it were the only super-zoom camera you'd used of the current crop, you could be pretty happy with it.

LetsGoDigital reviewed the Casio Exilim EX-FH20 digital camera on 19 April 2009 . They said: "Visible noise at relatively low ISO, loss of detail caused by the noise reduction of the camera, visible chromatic aberration, a limited dynamic range and an average performing zoom lens reduce the image quality of the Casio EXILIM EX-FH20. This obviously influences the final conclusion of this camera review. The camera or perhaps the entire Hi-Speed concept is not yet sufficiently developed. Clearly the market is ready for the Hi-Speed ..."

DigitalCameraReview reviewed the Pentax Optio P70 digital camera on 16 April 2009 . They said: "Pentax describes the P70 as a "high performance model," and if lens quality and/or shutter lag are the criteria then it fits the bill on those counts. For me personally, the most frustrating aspect of digitals are pokey shutters, and if a camera takes the shot promptly after I push the button then it's off to a good start in my book.
The P70 provides nice image quality with generally accurate ..."

PhotographyBLOG reviewed the Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS1 digital camera on 08 April 2009 . They said: "With its largely frill-free feature set – which Panasonic has bizarrely seen fit to overcomplicate (or perhaps more accurately 'pad out') with MyScene modes and Clipboard modes – the Lumix DMC-TZ6 is admittedly more a camera for the happy snapper than the photo enthusiast – and in summary comes across as even more 'family friendly' than the higher resolution and RAW shooting (but not as large lens sporting) Lumix FX150, ..."

It's a solid, better-than-average performer in most respects, with great zoom range, wide-ranging control options to please everyone from novices to enthusiasts, a lucid interface, 720p video capture, and decent construction.

This is a well-made, easy to use point-and-shoot that will suit everyone in the family. The wide-angle 10x zoom is a real attraction in such a small camera, and should cover all eventualities for most of its target audience.
