Once the touchscreen camera domain was dominated by Sony’s T-series of Touchscreen cameras, but now it’s become a staple for almost every single camera manufacturer in market. Panasonic introduced there very first touch operated compact camera in 2008 in the form of Lumix DMC-FX500. The latest addition in this class is the Panasonic FX75. What differentiates the FX75 from other touchscreen point-and-shoot cameras is its large F2.2 aperture, which is a tad uncommon for its class. The camera also comes with a brand new Motion Deblur options that claims to minimize the blurry shots through a wide mix of intelligent imaging technologies which are found in Lumix. Design: The design of the Panasonic FX75 is pretty much like the conventional rectangular shaped camera, but the rounded handgrip area of the camera differentiates the camera from the other cameras having similar design.

Nikon’s next COOLPIX Performance series will be featuring a performance point-and-shoot and that is what Nikon has been offering with their latest compact digital camera. The all new camera Nikon COOLPIX 300 from Nikon comes with a smooth body having little accents and strong edges. This new Nikon is somewhat like the Canon PowerShot S95. For enhancing the performance, Nikon has fitted the camera with the all new EXPEED C2 image processor and a BSI CMOS sensor. Utilizing those basic specifications, Nikon has succeeded in letting the P300 have a 1080p Full HD video capture, equal to 180 degree panorama capture, a Backlight HDR mode and 8 fps (frames per second) still image shooting to give the camera additional benefits over the other cameras. Not many of the specifications are known for the camera, but whatever we’ve known about the Nikon  [...]

Let’s begin our Nikon d700 Review by knowing a little about the inception of D700. The Nikon d700 is the second full-frame dSLR camera from Nikon, and was launched on 1st of July 2008. What differentiates d700 from its precursors the d3 and d300, is that the d700 takes the large ‘FX’ format sensor of d3 and fits it into a d300 sized body, as a result you gets a camera that has the performance features of d3 and has a compact body of d300. Going further in our Nikon d700 Review we found that the d700 not only is smaller, but also is lighter than the flagship D3 camera of Nikon. The camera also is a contentedly cheaper, which makes it the first “reasonably priced” full-frame dSLR from Canon. Just as Canon’s EOS 5D, Nikon puts the d700 well in reach of the photography fanatics who wants superb performance at immensely high sensitivities  [...]

Panasonic DMC LS80 is an 8 Megapixel snapshot camera, without pretense and having a price of less than $200. There also is optical image stabilization and with the price of less than $200, you won’t mistake this camera for a high-end ultra compact camera having a sleek profile. But still the LS80 is immensely light and feels comfortable when held in hand. The DMC LS80 weighs only 6.3 ounces, along with its batteries and SD Card and is 1.2 inches deep. The comparatively slim profile of the camera lets it easily into most of the pockets. The additional 0.2 inch that the camera has more than the ultra compacts allows the LS80 capture its AA batteries, which in general are a lot more convenient and easily available than the rechargeable batteries, which most of the super slim cameras are using these days. The interface of the camera is the biggest weakness of the camera. The Panasonic DMC LS80 has plethora of small, flat switches and buttons which feels a tad awkward  [...]

The Nikon Coolpix 5700 belongs to the Coolpix line of Nikon, and with its TTL (through-the-lens) electronic viewfinder, an 8X zoom lens and a RAW image mode, the 5700 is one of the farthest camera of the Coolpix line. The Coolpix 5700 is a 5 megapixel camera and comes loaded with a stylish feature set which would be a delight for the demanding prosumers, while the extensive manual options of the camera will overwhelm the snapshooters and beginners. Though, if you are an aspiring midlevel shooter then you should keep this camera in mind, for when you and your budget is ready to take a step up to the advanced model. The magnesium alloy body of the Nikon Coolpix 5700 gives the camera a solid overall feel and the smoothly curved grip of the camera provides it immensely comfortable and steady handhold on the camera body. The Coolpix 5700 weighs 1.2 lbs with media and batteries installed, and we have to say that the camera has rather  [...]

The Canon G6 is the successor to the G5, and we must say that the 7 Megapixel Canon PowerShot G6 realistically steps into the shoes of previous Canon G-series models. But at the same time Canon G6 gets some decent feature upgrades in the form of an influential, enthusiast-centered feature set and a really strong photo quality, the good news here is that the camera gets equally high marks as its precursors. But, like all the other cameras entering the market there is a downside of Canon G6 as well, and the thing with G6 is that the camera is good, but surely not great performer. As a matter of fact the camera lags behind its rivals, in terms of performance. The Canon G6 gets back the silver metal and plastic body, and hence deviates from the conventional basic black body of the G5. Though the camera is compact than its precursors, but is a tad heavy and weighs around 1.1 lbs including the battery and the Compact Flash card. In order to give it a more stable and solid  [...]
