Nikon Coolpix S570 review

Thu, 03 Dec 2009 15:49:02 +0000

The 12-megapixel Coolpix S570 is a thoroughly respectable ultra-compact camera that feels more expensive than it is. For someone seeking a reasonably priced snapper for portrait and landscape shots, where speedy performance is less of an issue, the S570 should work well

Gimmicks are the new megapixels: The new generation of unusual digital cameras

Mon, 30 Nov 2009 16:44:02 +0000

In the last year we've seen cameras with projectors, 3D, Wi-Fi, GPS, swappable lenses, extra screens and new sensors. The megapixel race is over -- all hail the gimmick

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FP8 review

Mon, 30 Nov 2009 14:47:01 +0000

The 12.1-megapixel Lumix DMC-FP8 doesn't look like anything special, but it successfully tackles a problem that plagues most other ultra-compact cameras: slow performance. It's also easy to use, small and lightweight, and produces good photos. As such, it's well worth a look for people prone to pointing and shooting

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-WX1 review

Wed, 21 Oct 2009 16:17:01 +0000

Sony has packed an impressive amount of technology into the 10.2-megapixel Cyber-shot DSC-WX1, while keeping it tiny and lightweight. Capable of delivering some very good photos, it's also one of the quickest cameras we've tested in its class, making it well worth considering

Nikon S1000pj: So how do you get a projector in a camera?

Thu, 08 Oct 2009 16:03:02 +0000

The Nikon S1000pj is the first compact digital camera to include a projector. If your first instinct is to ask "Why?", that's fair enough. But iFixit has decided to ask "how?"

Nikon Coolpix S1000pj review

Wed, 07 Oct 2009 13:06:02 +0000

The world's first camera with an integrated projector, the 12.1-megapixel Coolpix S1000pj's most interesting feature will either have you chortling with delight or feeling totally unimpressed. But it's not all about the projector -- the S1000pj is a pretty good compact in its own right

Canon Digital IXUS 120 IS review

Fri, 18 Sep 2009 13:57:01 +0000

The 12-megapixel Digital IXUS 120 IS is difficult to resist, thanks to its combination of a tiny, attractive body, simple operation, and generally very good photos. Occasionally, its images can suffer from purple fringing, and it can also be sluggish, but this is one of the better ultra-compacts on the market

Olympus FE-3010 review

Tue, 08 Sep 2009 16:12:02 +0000

The 12-megapixel FE-3010 isn't the fastest camera in its class when it comes to taking shots, but it offers good colour and white-balance performance. Considering how cheap it is, it also sports an attractive and impressively compact design, as well as solid build quality

Pentax X70 review

Thu, 27 Aug 2009 12:21:02 +0000

Pentax's 12-megapixel X70 is a strong first attempt at a superzoom camera. It's not the fastest performer, but its build quality is solid, the 24x optical zoom is flexible and fun, and its photos are good compared to those of rivals. It also offers plenty of shooting options, while being easy to use

Samsung ST1000: GPS, Wi-Fi, touchscreen, 5x zoom, kitchen sink

Thu, 13 Aug 2009 16:37:02 +0000

Huge screen, 5x zoom, GPS, Wi-Fi, Pez dispenser... the Samsung ST1000 has it all. Actually, we made one of these features up -- you'll have to read the story to find out which
