Hard on the heels of the Ixus 200 IS Touch (which we didn't review) comes Canon's Ixus 210 IS Touch, which shares many features with its predecessor but is $100 cheaper. The sensor size remains the same as its predecessor but resolution is increased from 12.1 to 14.1 megapixels. The LCD touch screen is also larger; with a 3.5-inch diagonal instead of 3-inch and its resolution is 461,000 dots, up from 230,000 dots.
... [more]Although the latest addition to Ricoh's popular CX series of slimline digicams, the CX3, retains the overall styling and 10.7x optical wide-angle zoom lens from its predecessor, it has some new additions to improve imaging performance. Most noteworthy are the new, back-illuminated CMOS sensor that records more detail in low light photography and the inclusion of 720p HD video recording.
... [more]Introduced four years after the previous S-series model (the S80), Canon's PowerShot S90 IS presents as the smallest, slimmest and lightest digicam on the market to offer an Advanced suite of shooting modes plus raw file capture. Equipped with the same 10-megapixel CCD sensor as the PowerShot G11, the S90 boasts a fast (f/2.0), stabilised 3.8x zoom lens and a 3-inch PureColor II high-resolution monitor.
... [more]Ricoh's second CMOS-equipped digicam, the CX2, comes hard on the heels of the CX1, which we reviewed in March. It has the same 6.16 x 4.62 mm CMOS sensor with 9.3-megapixel (effective) resolution but boasts a new lens that provides 10.7x optical zoom and wide-angle coverage in a camera body that is only 29.4 mm thick.
... [more]Touted as ‘the slimmest ever wide-angle Ixus' and almost credit-card sized, the new Ixus 120 IS comes in four stylish colours (black, blue, brown and silver) and boasts a CCD imager with 12.1 megapixels (effective) and a wide-angle 4x optical zoom lens with optical image stabilisation. The lens covers a 35mm equivalent focal length range of 28-112mm and the camera is equipped with family photographer friendly features like Face Detection, AF/AE/FE, Motion Detection, a FaceSelf-Timer and Auto Red-Eye Correction. ... [more]Fujifilm has used the EXR sensor technology featured in the FinePix S200EXR camera in its slimline FinePix F70EXR model. The sensor chip is the same size, too, but its resolution is lower at 10 megapixels instead of 12. The retracting zoom lens is quite different from the flagship model, offering only 10x optical zoom but providing a wider angle of view (equivalent to 27mm in 35mm format) at the expense of light-capturing ‘speed'.
... [more]Available in blue, pink, silver, black and brown, Sony's Cyber-shot DSC-T90 is the latest in a series of slim, stylish digicams designed for snapshooters. Equipped with a 12.1-megapixel CCD sensor and Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar 4x optical zoom lens, its key features are its ultra-thin body, 3-inch LCD touchscreen and ability to record 1280x720 pixel 720p HD movie clips with stereo sound. Super SteadyShot optical image stabilisation is also provided.
... [more]Panasonic has long been a leader in the ultra-zoom category, largely because it has produced cameras that are genuinely pocketable but are also easy to use, feature-rich and offer good performance. Unfortunately, it's taken almost six months since we first experienced the Lumix DMC-TZ7 at Panasonic's Asian Region launch in Singapore for a review camera to become available. That's a pity because this camera has a lot to interest potential buyers.
