Apple vs Nokia vs Samsung vs Sony Ericsson , Best camera phones ?
Now almost every mobile phone, from dual-core powerhouses to cheap feature phone have a camera, so you can snap photographs and upload them to Facebook or email to friends within seconds. Many of the better camera phones can now match and even surpass basic digital cameras, as phone manufacturers use superior sensors and lenses.Nokia was one of the manufacturers to produce phones with really good cameras. Early success include the N90 and the N93; a mobile phone with a unique flip-out screen that clearly influenced the Flip range of camcorders. Sony Ericsson had success too with the Satio a Symbian handset with excellent 12-megapixel camera and Xenon flash.
Here we’re pit five top camera phones against each other: the Apple iPhone 4, Nokia N8, Samsung Galaxy S2 and Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc. We've also thrown in a wild card in the form of the Samsung Omnia 7; a Windows Phone 7 handset with HD capability.
We’ll take a series of pictures and movies using each mobile phone to see which is our camera phone of choice.
The contenders: specifications
Apple iPhone 4
Significantly improved since the iPhone 3GS, the iPhone 4’s 5-megapixel camera phone with few tweakable features. Two to be precise. Flash and HDR mode, which combines a selection of pictures to bring out detail in shadow and highight areas. Luckily Apple is addressing this with the iOS 5 update, which adds lots of new features like crop, enhance and red-eye and also turns the volume control into a shutter.
Resolution: 5-megapixels
Video: 1280x720p 30fps
Flash: LED
Internal memory: 16Gb/32Gb
Lens aperture: Not quoted
Screen: 3.5-inches 960x640 pixel IPS/LCD Retina Display
Nokia N8
Unsurprisingly Nokia has equipped the N8 with an exhaustive selection of features, including adjustable: White Balance,
Sharpness, Colour, Contrast, ISO and Face detection along with a smattering of scene modes. Pixel rating is the highest on test of 12-megapixels (although 5-megapixels are adequate for most people) and it’s the only handset here with a Xenon flash. Take photos using the dedicated shutter button, alternatively tap the screen. The screen is excellent is one of the best in bright sunlight.Stills: 12-megapixel
Video: 1280x720p 30fps (via update)
Flash: Xenon
Internal memory: 16Gb, microSD
Lens aperture: Carl Zeiss f/2.8
Screen: 3.5-inchs OLED 640x360
Samsung Galaxy S2
Over the years Samsung has consistently produced solid cameraphones. Here it's flagship S2 phone has an impressive smattering of features including: White Balance, Metering, ISO, Face detection, Scene modes, EV, Anti Shake and Blink Detection. There's no top shutter, instead take pictures by tapping the screen. A useful extra is Outdoor Visibility, which makes the screen easier to see in bright sunlight.
Stills: 8-megapixel
Video: 1920x1080p 30fps
Flash: LED
Internal memory: 16Gb/microSD
Lens aperture: Not quoted
Screen: 4.3-inch Super AMOLED 800x480
Samsung Omnia 7
Like other Windows Phone 7 handsets the Omnia 7 had to follow Microsoft’s strict build requirements, which extended to photographic capability. This means the Omnia 7 has a solid camera shutter and 1280x720p HD movies. Features are impressive and include: contrast, medium, saturation, sharpness, EV, metering and Anti Shake along with Wide Dynamic Range.
Stills: 5-megapixel
Video: 1280x720p at 23fps
Flash: Power LED
Internal memory: 8GB
Lens aperture: Not quoted
Screen: 4-inch Super AMOLED 800x480
Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc
Sony Ericsson has added some really useful features to its latest crop of mobile phones, including a Sony Exmor R CMOS sensor. The Reality Display screen is excellent and is was easy to see in bright and dim conditions. Features are impressive, including: EV, White Balance, Metering, Image Stabiliser, Scene mode, Smile Detection. The Arc’s shutter feels a bit flimsy and its position on the far end can make it awkward to hold with one hand, alternatively you can tap the screen to take a picture.
Resolution stills: 8-megapixel
Video: 1280x720p at 29fps
Flash: LED
Internal memory: 320MB
Lens aperture: f/2.4
Screen: 4.2-inch Reality Display 854x480
Test 1: Artificial light
Flash off, all settings on auto, stabiliser on if featured
Apple iPhone 4 and Nokia N8
The Apple iPhone 4 produces the most unnatural photograph; here turning a pine bookshelf bright yellow examined closely fine detail isn't as sharp as the N8 or S2 either, although colours are very bright. The Nokia N8 produces a sharp, detailed picture with natural colours, is a little dark perhaps.
Samsung Galaxy S2 and Samsung Omnia 7
The S2 produces the sharpest photographs here, although our test picture had a pinkish tint and colours (the red of the playing card) lack punch. We found the Samsung Omnia 7 far more sensitive to camera shake than the others, resulting in softer shots when examined up closely. However colours and the exposure are fairly accurate.
Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc
Here colours are natural, if lacking a bit of punch (again the detail in the playing card) and examined closely detail isn't pin sharp, with more more visible noise.
Winner: Nokia N8
Test 2: Natural light
Flash off, all settings on auto, stabiliser on if featured. None of the pictures are full resolution; they had to be compressed for web.
Apple iPhone 4
The picture is very sharp - you can make out all the detail in the bricks on the white post - but pixels are more visible, especially in the sky and the area on the front left is a bit too red.
Nokia N8
A good effort, up close it isn't pin-sharp sharp, but colours are bold and accurate and it's good at handling shadow detail
Samsung Galaxy S2
Colours are generally accurate and up close detail is sharp. Colours perhaps lack the punch of rivals
Samsung Omnia 7
Detail in the trees is soft and not as sharp as any the others here (we can barely read the signs) and there’s more of a problem with image noise. Colours lack punch too.
Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc
Examined closely detail is very soft (you can barely make out the brick patten on the pillar), but conversely the text on the sign is very sharp - artificially so. Artefacts are especially visible on the pavement on the right. It handles contrast pretty well though.
Winner: Apple iPhone 4/Nokia N8
Test 3: Night shot
We’ll admit, most people aren’t going to be taking photographs in the dark using smartphones all the time. However, we wanted to see which phones was best.. All phones had the flash and stabiliser on (if applicable) and automatic settings were used.
Apple iPhone 4 and Nokia N8
Both of these produce pleasing results. The former is brighter and warmer with more fine detail up close, while the N8 with it's Xenon flash has less noise and you can see more of the subject
Samsung Omnia 7 and Samsung Galaxy S2
Producing a dark very noisy picture, the Samsung Omnia 7 (left) is easily the worst, the Galaxy S2 is marginally brighter, showing more of the subject.
Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc
Sony Ericsson’s Exmor R for mobile CMOS sensor helps produce a bright photo, where you can see almost the whole subject - even from 20 feet away. The picture is sharp with lots of detail, although coloured image noise is more visible when examined closely.
Winner: Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc
Test 4: Shooting movies
Please not all the footage has been compressed for YouTube
Apple iPhone 4
Unsurprisingly, 720p detail is not as sharp as the full res S2, however it's still one of the best here. Colour rendition is perhaps a bit warm, but footage is very smooth. All in all very impressive
Nokia N8
The frame rate here is 25fps (the update for 30fps is available now, so we will update the footage as soon as possible), which means action is not quite as smooth as we would like, however that’s pretty much our only complaint. Footage is sharp with lots of detail - far more the the Omnia 7 and Arc and elsewhere colours are natural. Audio is impressive too - you can even make out bird song along with cars.
Samsung Galaxy S2
The Samsung Galaxy S2 is the only phone here that shoots in 1920x1080 and in terms of the clarity of detail it’s apparent straight away. At the start of the movie you can see the detail in the leaves and the trees on the island and you can even read the word ‘Channel’ in the distance. However colour rendition isn't natural as the Nokia though, audio performance lacks clarity. In addition, twice we noticed the movie flick out of focus for a split second as we panned around.
Samsung Omnia 7
The Samsung Omnia 7’s HD video produces decent rather than amazing footage. Colours seem more muted where they should be bright. Contrast isn’t amazing, it’s overly dark in shadow areas, yet the white of the building is too bright. Fine details isn’t as sharp as the N8 or S2 and you can see more artefacts on the water/sky and slightly lower frame rate of 23fps means footage isn’t not as smooth. Audio is pretty good and not dominated by the cars - you can even hear bird song
Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc
We’re not impressed with the Sony Ericsson Arc's performance here. Overall the movie is far too soft, even though it’s HD. Colours seem a touch warm and less natural - the blue sky (in particular) isn’t accurate. However action is smooth thanks to a steady frame rate of 30fps. Audio is dominated by the sound of the louder vehicles on the road behind though.
Winner: Nokia N8
Best camera phones: verdict
Picking a winner for this test is tricky, no one handset excels at everything and even the less impressive phones will be fine for the odd snapshot.
The Samsung Omnia 7 offers a good range of features, but the shutter seems more sensitive than rivals, leading to more issues with camera shake. Stills just aren’t sharp enough and HD movies are soft with drab colours and more artefacts than rivals.
Sony Ericsson’s equipped the Xperia Arc with a good selection of features, a great screen and a sensor that produces best on test low-light performance. Overall we found stills aren't as sharp as we’d like and HD movie performance is the worst here, it’s very soft.
The Samsung Galaxy S2 is a solid performer, full HD footage is very sharp, although audio quality isn’t as clear as we’d like. Stills are good, but outclassed by other camera phones here.
We really like the iPhone’s camera. HD movie footage is sharp and smooth, although colour rendition isn’t as natural as the N8, stills are sharp and low light performance is solid. Our main issue is the lack of features, which the iOS 5 update will resolve.
So that leaves the Nokia N8. Stills are consistently sharp with natural colours, it’s even passable in low light. We’re really impressed with HD video performance, footage is sharp, with excellent audio and it handles changes to lighting conditions better than some others. The Nokia N8 might not have won every category, but consistently solid performance with stills and movies makes it our winner.
Overall Winner: Nokia N8

3.3-inch OLED Touchscreen
Full HD AVCHD Video
Intelligent Sweep Panorama
Ultra-thin DSC-TX55 Camera Delivers Full HD Video, 3D and
Picture Effect Mode – with up to 10x Clear Image Zoom at Maximum Resolution
SAN DIEGO, July 25, 2011 – With an exceptionally slim and stylish design, Sony’s new DSC-TX55 Cyber-shot camera makes it easy to capture any moment with high-quality still photos, full high-definition video and amazing 3D images, providing consumers with the ultimate in creative control of their photos and videos.
The DSC-TX55 camera features a range of innovative new technologies, including “By Pixel Super Resolution” technology, which boosts the cameras’ zoom range to a virtual 10x without losing quality at the image sensor’s maximum resolution (16.2 million pixels). The new model is also the first Cyber-shot camera to offer a “Picture Effect” mode, which expands a shooter’s artistic possibilities without the need for editing software.
“Our new DSC-TX55 model redefines what a compact camera can do,” said Yosuke Tomoda, director of Sony Electronics’ Cyber-shot business. “In addition to the newly developed, ultra-thin chassis design, the camera features an incredible combination of features and performance, putting more creativity at users’ fingertips than ever before.”
The TX55 boasts a 16.2 megapixel, highly sensitive Exmor R™ CMOS sensor that delivers incredible image detail and ultra-low picture noise in both still images and Full HD video – even in low light conditions. Also the camera’s hi-speed auto focus can lock onto subject in as little as 0.1 seconds, letting users grab the most fleeting photo moments with ease.
16 Mega-pixel CMOS Sensor with Clear Image Zoom
Just 12.2mm slim (measurement excludes lens cover), which is smaller than the thickness of a standard AA-size battery, the Cyber-shot TX55 is the world’s thinnest camera in its class (among cameras with an optical anti-shake function). The new model captures Full HD AVCHD video clips as well as 16.2 megapixel still images through its innovative and exceptionally thin 5x optical folded zoom lens.
It introduces brand-new ‘Clear Image Zoom’ that boosts magnification without lowering the pixel count in the final image. Exclusive to Sony, ‘By Pixel Super Resolution’ processing further extends the camera’s 5x optical zoom range, allowing full-resolution 16.2 megapixel images with a maximum 10x zoom.
‘By Pixel Super Resolution’ technology also significantly boosts still image quality during movie recording. At a touch of the shutter button, ‘Dual Rec’ grabs detail-packed 12 megapixel-level still photos without interrupting Full HD video shooting. Further, the camera’s back panel is dominated by a super-sized 3.3-inch (8.3cm) Xtra Fine™ OLED wide touch-screen, perfect for showing off photos and movie clips with incredible detail.
Enhanced Creativity and Functionality
The innovative Picture Effect mode broadens the range of artistic options with an exciting palette of in-camera image treatments. Effects can be viewed on the camera screen, allowing users to see the result of a chosen effect instantly rather than during the post-shooting experience.
The full list of seven Picture Effect options includes HDR Painting, Rich-tone Monochrome, Miniature, Toy Camera, Partial Color, Pop Color and Soft High-key.
Newly enhanced with additional electronic image stabilization for vertical and horizontal handshake correction, SteadyShot® image stabilization with Active Mode compensates for handheld camera movements during Full HD video shooting. Users can enjoy crisp, blur-free movie clips at all zoom settings, even when holding the camera while walking.
Great Results Made Easy
The new DSC-TX55 camera makes it simple for users to easily achieve DSLR-like picture quality. Superior Auto mode recognizes a wide range of shooting situations, adjusting exposure and other settings for high-quality images with low noise and high dynamic range.
Intelligent Sweep Panorama mode also features HR (High Resolution) mode, letting users capture breath-taking up to 42.9 megapixel panoramas. Just sweep the camera, then enjoy the results on a connected HD TV, or zoom in using a PlayStation®3 system to reveal the finest details.
3D Still Image captures dramatic 3D photos without the need for a large, bulky stereoscopic lens. With a single shutter press, the camera takes two shots consecutively, using the first image to estimate depth information to create a dramatic three-dimensional still image. Other 3D shooting options include 3D Sweep Panorama mode and Sweep Multi Angle.
Enabling its incredible slimness, the new TX55 camera includes a slot to accept Memory Stick Micro™ (Mark2) and MicroSD/SDHC flash memory cards. Sony offers a choice of ultra-compact, high quality media in capacities up to 16GB, with Memory Stick Micro™ being enhanced to achieve data transfer speed of up to 15MB/s (fastest among micro memory cards) by carrying the same high performance HX Engine controller used on Memory Stick PRO-HG Duo to fully support the new cameras’ features such as 3D and full HD video shooting. All cards come with free PC software (available via download), File Rescue for quick, easy recovery of deleted or damaged photos and files, and x-Pict Story™ that simplifies creation of dazzling slideshows.
Pricing and Availability
The new Sony Cyber-shot™ TX55 camera will be available for about $350 this September at Sony stores, www.sonystyle.com and other authorized retailers throughout the Sony Dealer Network.
The range of Sony Memory Stick Micro™ and MicroSD/SDHC media cards are available now throughout the Sony dealer network and along with an expanded range of coordinating accessories – including the colorful new LCJ-THF camera cover, AC-UD10 AC adaptor and BC-TRN2 fast battery charger.

Olympus Evolt E620 12.3MP Digital SLR
Some things on the E-510 that were aging and were kind of the few weak points of the entry level E series was the 3 point autofocus system, small viewfinder and low light focusing. The lcd was so so too but for an SLR i don’t see why a high pixel LCD should be important, sure its good to have one but its not important. Anyhow the Olympus Evolt E620 12.3MP Digital SLR Camera really improves all these problems and really becomes a strong no compromise camera; worthy of buying just because its excellent.. not because its great value as was the case for me for the E-510.
Olympus Evolt E620 12.3MP Digital SLR Camera Tecnical Detail :
12.3-megapixel Live MOS sensor for photo-quality, poster-size prints
Lightweight ergonomic design; kit includes 14-42mm f/3.5-5.6 Zuiko lens

2.7-inch HyperCrystal III Swivel LCD; Smooth Live View allows you to change the frame rate of the Live View display
Stores images to Compact Flash (Type I and II), Microdrive, xD Picture card (not included)
What’s in the Olympus Evolt E620 12.3MP Digital SLR Camera Box :
E-620 Body

Over all for an mid entry SLR you will be very happy with the Olympus Evolt E620 12.3MP Digital SLR Camera. Another factor is ergonomics and i like holding an Olympus but that you will have to try and compare yourself, happy shooting!
Samsung TL500 review
The TL500 supports RAW and gives enthusiasts full control over their images thanks to its shutter priority, aperture priority and full Manual shooting modes. When using these settings, shooters can experiment with features such as slower shutter speeds and depth of field; however, for those who prefer ease-of-use over manual controls, the TL500 also offers Samsung’s Smart Auto 2.0 (Still & Movie) scene recognition technology.
Applicable for video recording (640×480 / 30fps / H.264) and taking digital stills, this intelligent feature analyzes the scene and then automatically selects the appropriate settings for the best results possible. Using this mode requires minimal effort and does not sacrifice image quality for simple operation.
The high-end Schneider lens offers a 24mm, ultra-wide focal length and 3x optical zoom. Much wider than traditional compact cameras, the EX1’s 24mm ultra-wide angle lens allows photographers to capture more of a desired scene, such as beautiful landscapes and large groups of friends or family. For blur‑free images, the EX1’s lens is also paired with Samsung’s Dual Image Stabilisation technology.

Canon Rebel T3 / EOS 1100D Review
 |
| Canon Rebel T3 / EOS 1100D Review |
As a result we've seen control dials, orientation sensors and even focus motors disappear to reduce the manufacturing costs of these entry-level, gateway cameras. From the consumer's perspective, of course, we've also seen technologies once only in the reach of the professionals filter down to almost compact camera prices.
For several years, Camera Canon and then Camera Nikon were able to carve up the sub-$1000 DSLR market between themselves, without any particular concern about other players in the market. But this hegemony was never likely to last, especially once the electronics giants such as Panasonic, Sony and Samsung had time to prepare their own competitors. Eventually even Canon had to respond to the arrival of these companies' increasingly impressive low-end offerings, most notably with the splitting of its Rebel series into a multiple model range.
In June 2008, rather than just letting the outgoing model's price drop when the next camera was introduced, Canon launched a completely new model that sat below its then very recent Rebel XSi/450D. The Rebel XS (EOS 1000D in Europe) was unashamedly a cut-down version of the XSi but its mixture of a well trusted sensor and compelling price tag have seen it continue to sell strongly, particularly at the price-conscious end of the market.
 |
| Sitting alongside the Rebel XS (1000D), it's clear that T3 (1100D) is very slightly larger but only by a fraction. The new model eschews the 1000D's textured plastic, instead being constructed of smooth, rather low-density materials. |
Two-and-a-half years is nearly two lifetimes in contemporary camera terms, so it was beginning to look like the XS might turn out to be a one-off, until the launch of its replacement in February 2011. The Rebel T3 (EOS 1100D) builds on a successful formula and takes it further, offering a strong (if not exactly cutting-edge) set of features in a body that suggests it should be very capable of competing on price.
The 1100D takes a series of familiar-sounding components and folds them together in a distinctly conventional but still capable-sounding package. So there's a 12MP CMOS chip that is likely to date back to the 450D/XSi, coupled with Canon's now-standard 9-point AF system and the 63-area iFCL (Focus, color and luminance sensitive) metering system first seen in the EOS 7D. These combine with the equally well-known Digic 4 processor to offer a camera that's unlikely to offer much in the way of surprises (which should also mean the avoidance of any nasty ones).
Sitting alongside the Rebel XS (1000D), it's clear that T3 (1100D) is very slightly larger but only by a fraction. The new model eschews the 1000D's textured plastic, instead being constructed of smooth, rather low-density materials.
The rear view shows the 1100D has been updated in line with more recent Canon DSLRs, gaining direct access to live view/movie shooting and a Q button for the interactive 'Quick Control' displays.
Canon EOS 1100D specification highlights:
* 12MP CMOS sensor
* 9-point AF system (up from 7 on the 1000D)
* 63-area iFCL color-sensitive metering (from EOS 7D)
* 720p movie recording at 30 or 25fps (H.264 compression)
* 2.7" LCD, 230,000 dots
* ISO 100-6400 (no expansion)
* Basic+ creative point-and-shoot mode
* Eye-Fi wireless SD card compatible menu options

Canon SD400 Ixus 300HS Digital camera Review
There will be no problem if you’ll be taking pictures in with low lit areas for it has a back-illuminated complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor or CMOS sensor. There’s also the burst photo mode and the extremely slow motion movie mode that adds up to the excitement.
The Canon HS System
The Canon SD400-Ixus 300HS is a 10 megapixel camera with a CMOS sensor. Along with it is an image processor called the DIGIC 4. These both comprise the HS System of Canon. The HS System is the solution that Canon has for lowlight situations. The images turn out to be very satisfying and the adverse effects are avoided, such as blurry problems. Whether you utilize ISO speeds that are high or low in a lowlight scenario, the pictures will still look great.
Just like what I’ve said this HS System by Canon is the collaboration of 2 great features, namely 10 megapixel CMOS sensor and the DIGIC 4. The CMOS sensor sort of traps light in order to get the best possible image quality. This means that the images will be clearer if the sensor will be able to attract a bigger amount of light. The DIGIC 4, on the other hand, has the purpose of minimizing the noise on the images.
The Electronic Physics or the ELPH
The Canon SD400-Ixus 300 HS that is equipped with ELPH is the first to offer manual controls. It can be compared to PowerShot SD90 and can be a very close competitor. In addition, the design and concept of the SD400 was based on the backlit CMOS sensor of Sony, which has been very evident in almost all cameras that were launched this season of spring. The SD400 is known as the Ixus 300HS in Europe because its speed is amazingly fast when it comes to video recording as well as in capturing images.
The Aperture Priority Mode and the Shutter Priority Mode
The factors that most photographers and hobbyists are looking for are the controllable speed of the aperture and the shutter modes. When you place the SD400 camera to aperture mode, it will already choose the shutter speed that will best work in every scenario. And as for the shutter priority mode, when you pick out a shutter speed, the camera is left with the task of choosing the right aperture.

Nikon P300 Review
Does the P300 meet these needs? It’s got a great sensor and full HD video, but it doesn’t have RAW capability. Is it worth your hard-enarned pennies, then? See what the reviews have to say.
CNET Australia says ‘Photographers who are downsizing from an SLR on its day off will have a big gripe with the P300, which is the lack of RAW capture. Every other camera in this class has it, so we’re rather puzzled as to why Nikon left it out. We can only hope that the next iteration (or indeed a firmware update) provides this very important feature – and perhaps a bigger sensor like that found in the P7000 as well.’ – Read the full review at CNET Australia
Digital Camera Info says ‘The P300 is an intriguing camera for advanced amateurs looking for something small and sleek. The f/1.8 lens is bound to lure in photographers that crave low light performance without the bulk of an SLR. Manual controls aren’t what you might find on Nikon’s higher-end P7000, but the basic shutter and aperture controls are there. You can also access most of Nikon’s specialty features, without giving up manual control flexibility.’ - Read the full review at DigitalCameraInfo
DPReview says ‘The “big” new feature introduced in the Coolpix P300 is 1080p, ‘Full HD’ video. Full HD is still relatively rare in compact cameras, and it is something that none of the P300′s “high-end” peers currently offer. In most other respects, the P300′s specification sheet is comparable to our expectations of the latest compact cameras.’ – Read the full review at DPReview
ePHOTOzine says ‘The ergonomics, handling and design of the camera are very good, with a well thought out layout and design, although the lens protruding from the camera does make it slightly chunky. The camera has a solid feeling metal body with a good sized thumb grip, and raised rubber grip at the front of the rectangular camera.’ – Read the full review at ePHOTOzine
Neo Camera says ‘The Nikon Coopix P300 is a small compact digital camera with an all-new design from Nikon. The camera is built around a 12 megapixels high-speed CMOS sensor and a very bright F/1.8 ultra-wide angle lens, equivalent to 24-100mm. This model is aimed at advanced users seeking efficient manual controls and is among the smallest digital cameras to feature dual control-dials.’ – Read the full review at Neo Camera
PhotographyBLOG says ‘The front of the Nikon Coolpix P300 features the aforementioned 4.2x zoom lens. Nikon have included their VR (Vibration Reduction) image stabilisation system to help prevent camera-shake, an increasingly de-facto feature on a lot of high-end compact cameras. Annoyingly there isn’t a dedicated button to turn it on and off (it’s somewhat buried in the Setup menu).’ – Read the full review at PhotographyBLOG
TechRadar says ‘Digging further into the feature bowels of the Nikon P300 we discover that there are several advanced multi-exposure composite image functions for taking handheld portraits at night, an Easy Panorama mode that delivers 180- and 360-degree results, optimised Night Portrait and Landscape modes, Backlighting (HDR), plus a modest palette of Filter effects’

Reviews Samsung ST80
when you’re nearby a Wi-Fi hotspot. But the ST80 doesn’t offer visual picture stabilization—an ever-present underline in cameras in this cost range. This can meant becloud photos when sharpened high-speed or low-light images. But if you’re sharpened in great lighting, images from the ST80 are surprisingly sharp.
Design and Interface
One of the not as big condensed cameras you can buy, the ST80 is similar to the minuscule Canon PowerShot HS 300 ($249.99, 4 stars). Measuring 2.2 by 3.6 by 0.7 inches (HWD) and weighing usually 4.3 ounces, this camera fits simply in your pocket, but its all-plastic building creates it feels flimsy. Most of the camera’s functions are tranquil by the hold shade on the back, and you’ll have no complaint reckoning out what any earthy manage does; there are usually three: Power and Playback buttons, and a wizz trigger.
Most condensed digital cameras use a few form automatic picture stabilization—where possibly the lens or the picture sensor shifts to help lower blur. Not the ST80, and without it, you’ll have to use a faster shiver or aloft ISO surroundings to obtain great results when sharpened in low-light settings. The ST80 offers 3x visual wizz around a f/3-f/5.6, 35-105mm (35mm equivalent) lens. It’s not a quite wide-angled, long-reaching, or swift lens for any category of camera.
Despite a good-size 230K-dot 3-inch LCD, framing cinema feels really cramped. The LCD has a 16:9 aspect ratio, but the camera’s sensor has a 4:3 aspect ratio; if you’re sharpened at full resolution, the camera shrinks the on-screen picture to a pillar-boxed 2.5 inches. To compare, the low-cost General Electric E1480W ($169.99, 3 stars) offer a 3-inch LCD with a 4:3 aspect proportion so you can support and examination shots using the whole LCD.
The touch-based user interface on the ST80 feels poignant and intuitive, but is paltry since the average LCD, that is a resistive hold screen, not capacitive one similar to you’ll find on the Bloggie Touch slot camcorder ($199.99, 4 stars). The resistive manifestation doesn’t feel as accurate, and requires a small more pressure—turning the spark on and off, for example, isn’t difficult, but typing in e-mail addresses is frustrating. The Editors’ Choice Samsung TL225 ($349.99, 4 stars) offers the same UI, but it’s presented on a larger, higher-resolution (3.5-inch, 1.04-million-dot) LCD.
Other Features
One of the features that indeed sets this camera detached is its aptitude to e-mail and upload photos wirelessly. The camera has an residence book so you can come in and store contacts. The underline is elementary to use, but you can usually send one print at a time, and you can’t send files in their full resolution; instead they’re sent as 1.9-megapixel files (1600 by 1200 resolution).You can moreover upload images to Picasa, Facebook, PhotoBucket, and Samsung Imaging. The Facebook experience functions well with photos—you can login, emanate an manuscript and upload multi-part images to that album, and you can even crop all of your Facebook albums (not just the ones uploaded from the ST80).
The ST80 can moreover be used as a DLNA media server; when related to a Wi-Fi network, gadgets that can deed as DLNA customers (Sony’s PlayStation 3, and a few HDTVs and Blu-ray players)can perspective cinema and videos from ST80 wirelessly, or even download the files right away to local storage. The arriving Samsung SH100 will liner with an app and a Windows focus that will automatically collect all your new photos when your P.C. and camera are on the same network. If you do not wish to wait for and wish a easier wireless solution, ponder an Eye-Fi card, an SD card with built-in Wi-Fi that can automatically backup your cinema when on your home Wi-Fi network.
Performance
The ST80 isn’t quite fast. The camera can beginning up and fire in an average of 3.1 seconds, once on, it averages 3.8 seconds between shots. The comparably labelled Canon PowerShot HS300 shaves a second or more off any these times—it booted up and took a picture in an average of 2 seconds, with 2.2 seconds between shots.
In the Personal Computer Labs, you use Imatest to collect design data about picture quality. In our tests, the ST80′s photos were really sharp; the camera offering an glorious center-weighted average of 2,053 lines per picture height. That even outperformed the much-pricier Editors’ Choice Canon PowerShot S95 ($399.99, 4 stars), that prisoner a center-weighted average of 1,858 lines per picture height. Like the Canon S95, the ST80 may be pushed all the way up to ISO 1600 to collect more light without producing as well sufficient noise. Imatest deliberate reduction than 1.5 percent sound up to ISO 1600, that is a great result.Video available by the ST80 can attain up to 720p fortitude (1280-by-720 at 30 frames per second.) It sounds good, but there are caveats. You can use the visual zoom, but the audio is cut out whilst zooming to prevent capturing deafening sound from the lens motor. The camera moreover doesn’t refocus whilst recording video, expected because you’ll moreover takeover sound from the lens. While the ST80 can record high-definition videos, they can’t be wirelessly uploaded in HD or even 640-by-480 typical definition. The ST80 uploads usually 320-by-240 QVGA-quality videos and usually to YouTube, not Facebook.
The ST80 has a singular port. Using the enclosed exclusive line you can block the camera in to the enclosed wall horse or a USB dock on a P.C. to give your images. Many other condensed cameras offer noteworthy mini-USB and mini-HDMI ports. Also different many cameras, the ST80 writes to microSD cards, not standard-size SD, so your SDHC card reader won’t help you prevent joining the camera around a line unless you have a microSD adapter.
If you really need a way to send or upload photos to Facebook right from your camera, the Samsung ST80 might be a great fit for you. But the insufficient of picture stabilization is a big disastrous in a $250 camera. If you wish to increase Wi-Fi features to your stream camera, examine an Eye-Fi card. If you wish something a small more arguable with visual picture stabilization is to same price, give the Canon PowerShot HS 300 a try. The ST80 produces pointy images in splendid light and has a few innovative features, but it comes with a few flaws that are difficult to ignore.

SONY Cyber-shot Digital Camera DSC-W570 review
larger size photo, 5x optical zoom 25mm wide angle Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar lens with optical image stabilization and Sweep Panorama mode. The W570 also supports iAuto mode and intelligent auto focusing. Now it priced at $179.99 with high cost performance.
Light, compact and beautifully styled, the new Sony Cyber-shot W570 digital camera lets everyone capture detail-packed still images and HD video. Features like Sweep Panorama expand shooting possibilities, while iAUTO takes care of adjusting settings for great results without fuss.
Sweep Panorama mode, first introduced in Sony’s breakthrough CyberShot DSC-HX1, DSC-TX1 and DSC-WX1 CMOS models, utilizes a CCD sensor to capture dramatic panoramic scenes. The Sony CyberShot W570 shoots images continuously to capture wide landscapes or tall buildings in one easy “press and sweep” motion. Images are automatically stitched together to create one stunning panoramic photo.
The built-in help guide of the Sony DSC-W570 is another way to make it easy to get the best shot. Designed to help users learn about the cameras’ features and how to use them on the spot, the “In-Camera Guide” is accessible from the menu button on the Sony W570 digital camera and allows users to easily search by purpose or keyword for functions they seek.
Not sure how to pick the perfect digital camera settings to suit a particular scene? Don’t worry, help is at hand. Intelligent Auto (iAUTO) mode automatically adjusts exposure and other camera settings for optimum results in a wide range of shooting situations.
Dramatic landscapes, architectural photos, interiors and even family scenes can produce disappointing results when a scene gets cut off at the edges. A wide angle zoom lens on your camera lets you pack more into the picture without having to stand further back from the subject.
The famous Sony Sweep Panorama feature takes the hard work out of creating fabulous panoramic shots. Now it’s easy to grab breathtaking wide-screen views of that landscape or city scene. Sweep Panorama mode shoots a high-speed burst of frames as you sweep the camera from side to side (or up and down!). Images are stitched together automatically by the camera to create one big amazing panoramic photo.
With stylish profile, delicate workmanship and good optical performance, the W570 is designed for those who like simple and elegance. Overall, W570 has the balanced performance and affordable price. 5 colors available, gold, silver, black, pink and purple.

Nikon P300 Hands-On Preview
Although at first glance it looks a lot like the Canon Powershot S95 and Olympus XZ-1, the P300 is a significantly different camera in a couple of important ways. It offers higher resolution, at 12MP rather than the 10MP common in that class. It also offers Full HD video (1080p as opposed to 720p), but its true colors are betrayed by a lower price-point, a smaller sensor (1/2.3" as opposed to 1/1.6" or 1/1.7"), and the inability to record RAW files. Whether or not you care about the smaller sensor and lack of RAW depends on your priorities as a photographer, but we suspect that a lot of enthusiast photographers will be disappointed that Nikon hasn't taken the opportunity with the P300 to create a true S95/LX5 competitor.
And so, despite obviously being designed to appeal to the same audience as the Panasonic LX5 and Canon S95, the Coolpix P300 is actually a lot closer in specification terms to a camera like the Canon SD 4000 IS/IXUS 300 HS. Like the SD 4000 IS, the P300 offers excellent build quality and manual control in a genuinely compact body, for less cash than the larger sensor, RAW-enabled Powershot S95, or its 'big brother' the Coolpix P7000. The P300's lens is optically stabilized, covers a useful 24-100mm (equivalent) range, and is impressively fast at wideangle, if unspectacular at the long end (f/1.8-4.9). The rear 3in LCD screen is bright and contrasty with 921k dots - the same specifications as the screens in Nikon's mid-range and top-end DSLRs.
The market for high-end compact cameras with a small form factor is booming at the moment, which is evidenced in the rash of new releases in the past few months. We're certain that, purely because of its styling, a lot of consumers will regard it as a cut-price alternative to cameras like the Canon Powershot S95 and Panasonic Lumix LX5. It certainly offers comparable build quality and manual control but its sensor is 35% smaller and that's arguably the most important determinant of image quality, so we'd expect its performance to be more in line with regular compacts. Read our hands-on preview for our impressions of how it works, and how it compares to its peers in terms of usability and specification.
Key features
12 megapixel BSI (back side illuminated) CMOS sensor (1/2.3in)
ISO 100-3200 at full 12MP resolution
1080p High Definition video mode
24-100mm (equivalent) f/1.8-4.9 lens with optical stabilization
PASM modes
Twin control dials - one top, one rear
Built-in stereo microphone
The 'big' new feature introduced in the Coolpix P300 is 1080p, 'Full HD' video. Full HD is still relatively rare in compact cameras, and it is something that none of the P300's 'high-end' peers currently offer. In most other respects, the P300's specification sheet is comparable to our expectations of the latest compact cameras. At the equivalent of 24mm, its lens is wider than either the Canon S95's or Olympus XZ-1's 28mm equivalent, but is slightly shorter than both at the tele end. It is worth noting that although it boasts a very fast maximum aperture of f/1.8, this gets a lot smaller as the lens is zoomed in. In fact, f/1.8 is only available with the lens set to its very widest focal length.
Beside two of its most obvious competitors (in control terms) the similarities between the P300 and Canon S95 are obvious. The two cameras are almost exactly the same size, and offer similar control layouts. The Olympus XZ-1 is slightly larger in all dimensions, mainly as a result of the larger lens required to offer its wider-aperture and larger imaging circle to light its larger sensor.
From behind, the main difference between the P300 and S95 is the direct movie shooting button of the former. As you can see from looking at all three cameras in this view, the rear control layout has become almost 'standard'.
A fast lens usually means greater control over depth of field, but here too, all is not what it seems. Because, all other things being equal, a smaller sensor means less control over depth of field, the P300 doesn't match up to its high-end competitors despite seeming to offer a similar maximum aperture range. Also, for good depth of field control the lens really needs to be fast at the telephoto end, and the P300's isn't. So don't expect to be able to get the same sort of blurred backgrounds with the P300 as you can with the Olympus XZ-1, for example.

Nikon D300 Digital SLR Camera Review
Nikon went with the DX image censor on this DSLR. The picture quality produced by this camera is a little better than the Canon 40D but it’s the same as the Sony A700. The D300 camera produces 12 mega pixels and 51 focal points from its auto focus sensor. When you use this camera you have two ways for taking pictures you can look through the viewfinder or you can use the 3-inch VGA display in live mode. The viewfinder shows 100% of the image so if that’s what you prefer you won’t be missing anything. If you choose to use the display it’s a good option too with it being VGA the picture it produces is clean and crisp.
Conclusion
The D300 has only minor flaws but it’s still a good camera for shooting either fast or normal action photos, this camera takes 6 frames per second. The major thing about this camera is the price compared to the competition its almost 50% more money. The trade off when you buy the cheaper cameras from the competition is you don’t get as many features as you would find in the D300.
The D300 is priced at $1,799.

Nikon D5100 DSLR surfaces with 16.2 megapixel sensor, 1080p video recording
Been waiting for a new Nikon DSLR to slide in under that magical $1,000 mark? Then we've got some good news for you, as Digital Home Thoughts has now let slip some official details and pictures of Nikon's new prosumer D5100 model. This one steps things up to a
D7000-matching 16.2 megapixels from the 12 megapixel D5000, and boasts a 3-inch articulated display (side-mounted this time), 1080p video recording at both 30 and 24 fps (with autofocus!), ISO settings from 100 to 6,400, and an 18-105mm lens included in the kit (no body-only option available just yet, it seems). What's more, Nikon's also releasing a new ME-1 microphone alongside the camera to let you take full advantage of those video recording capabilities -- check it out after the break. Look for this one to set you back $899.95 for the kit, with the mic running $159.95. Those are Canadian prices according to Digital Home Thoughts, though we'd expect US pricing to be the same.
