thumbnail
If, you hate loosing your shots because of the slow performance of your camera, then its time you switch to the Casio Exilim EX-FH100. The Casio Exilim EX-FH100 camera has a high-speed lens in a compact body and delivers high speed shooting performance. The high speed shooting capability of the camera could be attributed to a illuminated CMOS sensor, which captures movies at the rate of up to 1,000fps and 9 megapixel images at the speed of up to 40 frames per second and is positioned at the rear end of the camera. The good thing here is that the camera will prerecord your images prior to your pressing the shutter, as a result of which you don’t loose the shot you want. Casio combines all these features with a 24mm equivalent wide-angle lens having a 10x zoom, and gives you immense flexibility for capturing things you normally can not capture using the normal point-and-shoot.

Samsung HZ35W review – GPS-Enabled Compact Megazoom

thumbnail
The Samsung HZ35W came as a surprise to us, as its precursor the HZ15W, was kind of a mess and we actually doesn’t have any serious hopes with this camera as well. But happily, the HZ35W is, which it should be, an improved camera than its precursor. Samsung has made improvements in its photo quality and design, and has equipped the camera with some of the advanced features like a sharper, a GPS receiver, a longer, wider lens and higher-resolution display. Though, on the downside, the shooting performance of the camera isn’t improved, but as the shooting performance was already good, there actually isn’t any major displeasure there. The menu system of the camera can stick use some improvement and the GPS setup for the camera still has got some wrinkles that needs to be addressed. Another downside here is the manual and semi-manual modes; they actually are pain to use. Also the low-light/ high ISO photo quality delivered by the camera could easily  [...]

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX7 – Feature-Laden, Slick Ultracompact

thumbnail
For the point-and-shoot cameras, it's hard to associate high price tag, with fast shooting performance or/and superb photo quality. As a matter of fact, whatever price you are paying for the camera, its all for the compact body of the camera loaded with immense features. For example, the all new Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX7, which comes with Sony's Exmor R high-speed backside-illuminated sensors, a high-resolution 3.5-inch touch-screen LCD, a 1080i movie capture at 60 frames per second and a 25mm-equivalent wide-angle lens and all these features in a body measuring only just 0.7 inch thick. The DSC-TX7’s sensor pooled with Sony's Bionz image processor lets you do a lot of things that you generally can’t do with your typical pocket camera. Two of those things are great low-light photos and speedy performance, though, the overall photo quality for the camera is less exceptional. The photos taken from the camera are best suited for taking prints of about 8x10 inches or smaller, Web use and  [...]

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-S2100 – Straight Entry-Level Camera

thumbnail
The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-S2100 is the only camera in Sony’s 2010 lineup, which is powered by AA-Size battery. Apart from this, another major selling point for this entry-level compact camera is its huge LCD. The camera primarily is for the basic users who actually doesn’t needs a lot of complex functions and can do only with the basic features and simple operation. Just as expected, the photo quality delivered by the camera surely isn’t exceptional and so is the case with the performance speed. Its better that you keep your expectations modest if you are buying the S2100; it will protect you from any sort of disappointment. But this not at all means that the camera is worthless; considering the price and class of the camera; it delivers decent performance. Also the respectable color quality of the camera gives you decent photos even in the dim lightening conditions. The controls for the camera are rather basic. Placed on the top of the camera  [...]

Panasonic HDC-SD60S – Satisfactory Entry-Level

thumbnail
The Panasonic HDC-SD60S is one of the four all new entrant from Panasonic into the entry-level HD camcorder market. We won’t say that it’s a bad thing to have so many entry-level HD camcorders from the same maker, but yes, we definitely think that it’s too much. Panasonic seems to be bombarding in between the $500 and $700 entry level camcorder range, rather than going for any significant improvement. But the good thing here is that, like all the other three siblings, the HDC-SD60S also delivers significant performance and battery life. So at least you don’t have to worry about the performance from the camcorder. The HDC-SD60S comes with a switch for switching among its video, playback and still modes, on its rear end. This clearly is a lot more suitable than going through the entire complicated LCD touch screen. Positioned alongside the switch is a power connector. The LCD recess of the camcorder contains a complete set of connectors and  [...]

Kodak EasyShare Z981 review– A Deficient 24x Megazoom

thumbnail
The Kodak EasyShare Z981 is a late addition in Kodak’s camera lineup. The EasyShare Z981 was released alongside the other cameras of Kodak at CES 2010, but it was not showcased at the same time. The only resemblance we found in the Z981 and the cameras rest of the cameras released alongside it were the built-in sharing software and the sharing button. The combination of the software and the button lets you share your photos over internet. Apart from this the camera on a whole is a pretty sloppy, with some of the basic yet important features missing from it. Even the performance delivered by the camera was not all that good, with the poor photo quality and sluggish operational speed. Even the design of the camera is rather clunky. The camera houses the shooting-mode dial on top of its body, in conjunction with a spring-loaded power switch. The position of power switch is a tad awkward, with it being placed so in front that you actually have to put  [...]
