Panasonic have focused on making the DMC-FX55 the ultimate point and shoot camera, with a new Intellligent Auto mode that achieves great results in most situations with very little input required from the user. The large, high resolution 3 inch LCD digital photo screen is also very welcome, although I missed having a true optical viewfinder in very bright sunlight. Panasonic Lumix DMC FX-55 has a review at Good Gear guide and final verdict is “We also ran our speed tests, and this model performed quite well. It exhibited a fairly tiny 0.05-second shutter lag, 1.8 seconds between shots and a slightly more sluggish 2.5 seconds power up time.
Image quality is about average for 8-megapixel cameras we've tested recently. The FX55 earned middle-of-the-field scores for sharpness and for color and exposure accuracy in the PC World Test Center. Image noise has to be the biggest issue with the entire Panasonic line of camera, and it predictably shows up in the Lumix. Image noise is the introduction of slight distortions that distract from the image accuracy and sharpness. Images are slightly soft overall, and downright blurry around the corners of the frame. Purple fringing is well controlled by the camera’s image processor.
Intelligent Auto mode is made up by adding three new features to the optical image stabilization and Intelligent ISO control technologies. A continuous AF helps minimize focus time, the face detection lets you focus on and expose up to 15 faces correctly, and the Intelligent Scene Selector will choose between settings for Portrait, Scenery, Macro, Night Scenery, and Night Portrait. Intelligent ISO Control gives you stunning images with ease because there is no need for complicated settings.
The Nikon Coolpix P5100 digital camera is a quality-crafted camera with a logical design and quality finish. Its body is made of solid magnesium alloy and incorporates a comfortable grip that is sure to please users. The Nikon Coolpix P5100 is the higher spec model of the pair, with a sensor resolution of twelve megapixels coupled to a Nikkon-branded 3.5x optical zoom lens with optical image stabilization. The Nikon 5100 offers up a 2.5" LCD display with a higher than average 230,000 pixel resolution, as well as an optical viewfinder - an increasingl . The Nikon CoolPix P5100 is one of the more high-end point and shoot cameras in the list. It’ll set you back $400 but its features are more like a SLR than those of a point and shoot camera.
Features that make this a classic camera are the optical viewfinder, stable grip and a functional body design. The magnesium alloy body of the Nikon P5100 provides ruggedness and high-quality texture, with an upgraded Mode dial and other controls. Featuring an In-Camera Red-Eye fix, you can be sure that your portrait shots steer clear from the flaws of red-eyes so that not a single shot is spoiled. Giving users an ISO 3200 capability, it enables users to shoot more effectively in lower lighting conditions, or to capture fast moving subjects with outstanding clarity.
The Canon Powershot G9 Digital Photo camera is a top of the range bridge camera, so common sense dictates the quality is very good. The body is metal and feels solid and chunky. The Canon PowerShot G9 is appreciated by many of its users for being different from the other compacts, in other words, its features of manual controls are sensibly implemented and best of all it is unrestricted. The Canon PowerShot G9 also has a bigger 3-inch LCD with a smaller optical viewfinder and more resolution is available from the 12.1 megapixels, features that were missing from the previous versions. On the other side, Canon Powershot G9 is based on the previous G7 model: slightly higher resolution (12.1 megapixels vs 10 megapixels) and a larger, 3.0-inch LCD screen. Also, the G9’s viewfinder, although similar in appearance with the one of G7, is small and rather cramped.
In image quality and functionality, the Canon G9 stands above the competition with 12.1 megapixels of resolution , a 6x optical zoom with Optical Image Stabilizer , and RAW mode for the ultimate in creative control. Sophisticated design and high-quality construction complement the technology and make the G9 a camera to be reckoned with. Many G7 owners claimed to appreciate its optical viewfinder, a feature that the G9 also sports. Frankly I don't find it useful at all particularly with that gorgeous new LCD screen, but I'm glad that it's there. The extended zoom range of the PowerShot G9 camera makes optical image stabilization (OIS) essential. Canon's lens shift OIS provides an effective antidote to camera shake, particularly at longer zoom lengths or during long exposures when even the slightest hand-held shake is magnified to picture-blurring proportions.
When shooting in continuous mode, the LCD briefly displays the last image captured; using the optical viewfinder during burst capture is preferred. All of our tests were done using an ATP Pro Max (Super high-speed) 2GB SD card, Program AE mode, Large SuperFine quality, preview On, flash off, LCD on, and all other settings at default (unless otherwise noted.) Times may vary depending on lighting conditions, camera settings, media, etc. Controls cover the areas of the top and back of the camera not covered by the LCD or the optical viewfinder, leaving just enough space for a decent handhold. It's still true that those with large hands may find it difficult to firmly grip the G9 without accidentally covering one button or another. In movie mode, the focus and optical zoom position are locked at the values set for the first frame of the sequence but exposure and white balance values will change to suit varying shooting conditions. Touching any of the control buttons may cause the built-in microphone to pick up the sound.
The Canon PowerShot A550 is a 7.1 megapixel digital camera with 4x optical zoom, DIGIC II image processor, and a 2-inch LCD screen. This model is replacing last year's PowerShot A530 model, and features higher resolution, larger screen, and better battery life. While Canon have the technology developed in their top of the range SLR units the extra facilities trickle down to lower priced models. The ISO 800 mode should have produced better results in poor light but again maybe with more time I could have adjusted.
The Powershot A530 is top of the line and also comes with very versatile software. You're totally set up when you purchase the Camera Kit! The sensor the lens of the PowerShot A530 is taking dimensions of a CCD 1/2.5 "and the RGB color filter.
