Fujifilm Finepix V10 Review Posted at DC Resource

DC Resource wrote a review of the Fujifilm Finepix V10 and said: "Photo quality was a mixed bag: it really depends on the situation. In normal outdoor shooting, the V10 took very nice photos, with accurate color, good exposure, and pleasing sharpness. In lower light levels the camera will want to crank up the ISO, and if it gets above ISO 400 then things start looking more like Monet paintings than photographs. The FinePix V10 doesn't perform as well as the now legendary F10 in this area, and some other cameras like the Sony DSC-W50 wipe the floor with it."          Full Article

Canon EOS 30D Review Posted at Lets Go Digital

Lets Go Digital wrote a review of the Canon EOS 30D and said: "The image quality was already good, but assets such as Picture Styles give it that little extra surplus value where the image is concerned. To top it off, the retail price is lower than the introduction price of the Canon EOS 20D. Taking all of this into consideration, we advise you not to preoccupy yourself solely with the amount of Megapixels and arrays of setting possibilities. It has already been mentioned here and there: the Megapixels race is over and, in our opinion; it is time to focus on internal issues concerning the image quality."        Full Article

Understanding Shutter Delay in Digital Cameras

Ziv Haparnas writes and explains, "A shutter delay is defined as the time gap between pressing the shutter button to the camera actually capturing the photo. There is no shutter delay in film cameras as in these cameras the shutter button is virtually connected to the shutter itself and holding down the button results in the camera taking a photo immediately. In digital cameras the shutter button is connected to a built-in micro computer and holding down the shutter button initiates a series of events that result in capturing a photo."          Full Article

Olympus Stylus 720 SW Review at DigiCamReview

DigiCamReview wrote a review of the Olympus Stylus 720 SW and said: "Image quality was generally good, with good colour, contrast, and detail, although images were slightly soft, and saturation was slightly lower than I would have liked to see (this can be increased by using some of the scene modes), as a comparison the Olympus SP-320 had higher saturation on default settings. Images had generally low noise, at most ISO settings upto ISO200. Images were slightly soft straight from the camera and could benefit from sharpening. The camera did a good job focusing the majority of the time - and indoor group photos were surprisingly well lit despite the cameras compact size and compact flash."          Full Review

Sony Cyber-shot W50 Review at Cnet

Cnet wrote a review of the Sony Cyber-shot W50 and said: "As we said about the DSC-W30, the photos have decent exposure and dynamic range, without the blown-out highlights produced by many cameras in this class. Colors are accurate but slightly oversaturated, especially the reds and oranges. Noise is the biggest issue with these models: while barely visible at ISO 80, smearing from the noise-reduction algorithm becomes evident at ISO 200 and starts to develop severe color shifts at ISO 400 and beyond."         Full Article

Sandisk Sponsors Underwater Photography Competition

Sandisk Press Release Excerpt:
The participating underwater photographers will have three days to shoot their photographs before the submission deadline. In order to get the best shots, divers usually dive to about 100 feet. The photographers are restricted to only 25 minutes of shooting time per dive due to water pressure and air supply constraints. There is no room for error. Fast read and write speeds with their digital film cards as well as reliable, high capacity storage are needed because while submerged, changing or replacing flash film cards is impossible and every shot taken is critical.          Full Article

Steve's Digicams Reviews Another Coolpix L series Camera

Steve's Digicams wrote a review of the Nikon Coolpix L4 and said: "The L4 is not what I would call a robust performer. Power up to first image captured measured 3 seconds, much of which is consumed by extending the lens. Shutter lag averaged 3/10 of a second when pre-focused, including about 1/10 second delay in the LCD viewfinder's live image; autofocus shutter lag averaged 7/10 second. When shooting in single exposure mode, the shot to shot delay measured approx. 3 seconds between frames without use of the flash and between 5 and 9 seconds with the flash, depending on subject distance and battery condition."          Full Article

Canon Powershot SD630 Review at Cnet

Cnet wrote a review of the Canon Powershot SD630 and said: "The Canon PowerShot SD630 is an extremely solid ultracompact, with performance and photo quality that more than make up for its few design flaws. It's a surprisingly good shooter, and its feature set makes it quite flexible for a camera of its size. That said, it's basically a more expensive version of the PowerShot SD600 with a larger screen and no optical viewfinder. If you're willing to give up the big LCD, the SD600 would be a more economical choice."          Full Article
