Brad: DPInterface is just as pumped up about the holiday season as you readers out there so look forward to plenty of camera reviews coming soon. This review got delayed because I was busy covering the Olympus PEN E-P2 launch last week

Good image quality, vivid colors and good detail; improvement over old Coolpix'es ; Big 3.5 inch LCD; responsive to touch and supports multi-touch/gestures ; 5X optical zoom lens with optical image stabilization ; USB charging can be useful; less ...

Some edge softness, prominent color fringing (chromatic aberration); muddy images over ISO 800 ; Slow lens aperture range ; Lack of manual controls ; Low resolution display; visibility could've been better ; No physical controls (except shutter button ...

Nikon has been doing a good job with touchscreen implementation of their cameras and the new Coolpix S70 takes things a step further by including multi-touch and gesture support. On its surface, the Nikon Coolpix S70 looks like your typical ultra-thin ...

A little over four months ago, Olympus released their first ever Micro Four Thirds, the E-P1 PEN. The E-P1's features were perhaps not game-changing but its compact, rectangular form-factor (ala Olympus' E300/E330) made it a mouth-watering choice for ...

The PowerShot SX20 is Canon's newest super-zoom digital camera. It's not a huge jump from its predecessor, the SX10, but the PowerShot SX20 IS adds in a couple of small improvements that some may or may not find useful – such as 12 megapixels of ...

Good image quality in general; effective redeye removal tool ; 20X optical zoom lens covers wide-angle till telephoto; has optical image stabilization ; Nice bundle in general: includes lens hood and wireless remote ; Class-leading battery life ; ...

Visible chromatic aberration (color fringing), barrel distortion and edge softness ; Slower frame rate in normal continuous shooting mode ; No RAW image mode ; Command dial lacks tactile “clicks”; tripod mount not in-line with lens ; Not bundled with ...

If you liked the Canon PowerShot SX10, that I reviewed earlier this year, then either you'll be more pleased or disappointed with the PowerShot SX20 IS, depending on how you look at things. The Canon PowerShot SX20 IS brings forward the same features ...

Reviews of full-production/retail cameras are our main focus here at DPInterface, but I knew I had to make an exception when I was given the chance to preview Panasonic's Lumix GF1 camera earlier this month. This is Panasonic's third Micro Four Thirds ...

The Olympus FE3010 is a super-budget camera with 12 megapixels, a 3X zoom lens and 2.7 inch LCD. The camera is fairly slim and stylish for a camera this price but is it really a good deal? Find out now

Easy to use; Intelligent Auto picks a scene mode for you ; 2.7 inch LCD with good visibility ; Perfect Shot Preview and in-camera help tooltips

No manual controls ; Crummy battery life ; No real image stabilization ; Soft, noise images; lots of color fringing ; No burst mode ; So-so movie mode, memory card requirement ; Below average low-light focusing

If you *thought* of saving a few more bucks by going for the FE3010, I'd advise you to rethink your decision. The Olympus FE3010 is more than just a 3X zoom version of the FE5010 (which has a 5X lens), it's a huge step down in many ways.

When I got my hands on various Olympus entry-level cameras last year, I wasn't flattered by any of them; thanks to sub-par performance, image quality and lack of certain features (such as real image stabilization). It's a new year, 2009, with new ...

Plenty of optical zoom in a compact body ; Easy to use; Intelligent Auto picks a scene mode for you ; 2.7 inch LCD with good visibility ; Perfect Shot Preview and playback editing tools ; Good image quality (low noise, good sharpness and details) till ...

No manual controls ; Crummy battery life ; Poor corner sharpness and lens distortion ; No burst mode ; So-so movie mode, memory card requirement ; Below average low-light focusing

12 megapixels, 5X optical zoom, a 2.7 inch LCD with good visibility… and now, sensor-shift image stabilization, the Olympus FE5010 is an improvement in the FE-series (though not leaps and bounds better).

The Coolpix S220 is Nikon's other entry-level camera. It offers the simplicity that you'd expect from a basic camera, but with more settings you can change (like ISO speed) over the oversimplified Coolpix L20 I reviewed a while ago

Slim design ; Good ergonomics and easy to use ; Smart Portrait, motion detection and auto scene selection features

Strong noise reduction results in softness and lack of detail ; Cheap lens with poor sharpness and no real image stabilizer ; Low resolution LCD; doesn't show a lot of information in shooting/playback ; Crummy low-light autofocus ; Below average ...

The Nikon Coolpix S220 is a cheaper, non-touchscreen version of the Coolpix S230. The camera packs the same lens, sensor and most features. Unfortunately, the Coolpix S230 wasn't flawless, and neither is the Coolpix S220 here.

The Olympus Stylus Tough 6010 is the 12 megapixel almost-identical twin of the Stylus Tough 6000 that I reviewed earlier this year. In addition to the up in megapixel count, the Stylus Tough 6010 also adds four Magic Filters (something like Art ...

Rugged design: waterproof, shockproof and freezeproof ; LED illuminator is handy for macro/low-light shooting ; Tap Control improves ease of use slightly ; Improved performance from Stylus 6000 (though still not the best) ; Nicely viewable LCD screen ...

No manual controls ; Above average levels of image softness (even in the center) ; Tiny, cluttered buttons on the back ; Movie mode not fantastic, max VGA 30 FPS requires xD-card to be used ; Low-light performance (ie focusing and high ISO) is not ...

Take the Olympus Stylus Tough 6000 from earlier this year, throw in a 12 megapixel sensor, Magic Filters and (presumably) tweak its circuitry, and you'll get the Olympus Stylus Tough 6010 over here. The Stylus Tough 6010 is an in-between model ...

There's just 44 MB of internal memory that comes with the Nikon Coolpix S230 and no memory card. The camera uses SD/SDHC memory cards and I'd suggest buying a 2 GB card (or more) to get started

Decent image quality till ISO 200 for medium sized prints ; Slim design and affordable price ; Responsive 3 inch touchscreen display ; Nice, well-implemented touchscreen interface ; Smart Portrait, motion detection and auto scene selection features ; ...

Cheap lens with below average sharpness and a lot of color fringing (chromatic aberration) ; Camera doesn't show a lot of information in shooting/playback ; Crummy low-light autofocus ; Lacks real image stabilization ; Below average battery life ; ...

It's probably the only camera in the ‘entry-level'/budget group with a touchscreen: it's the Nikon Coolpix S230. The Coolpix S230 is a 10 megapixel, ultra-slim camera that packs a 3X optical zoom lens and 3 inch touchscreen. And it's priced at '00, ...

Is the Canon PowerShot D10 a desirable rugged camera? Will it succeed at drawing the market audience? We're about to find out now

Good image quality with good color accuracy and overall sharpness ; Solid construction (sturdy, waterproof, shockproof, freezeproof); huge buttons for easy operation ; Design is appealing to kids and anyone fond of ‘cute' things; four on-board ...

Noise reduction smudging from ISO 400 onwards; slight color fringing ; Bulky size (compared to other rugged cameras); camera doesn't fit in pockets ; 3X lens doesn't go very wide (starts at 35 mm); least zoom among rugged cameras ; Sluggish continuous ...

Take the SD1200 Digital ELPH, wrap a rugged/water-tight design around it as its body, throw in a bit of cuteness, a few new functions and a big leap in ergonomics and what does it become? The Canon PowerShot D10, of course! The PowerShot D10 is a ...
