The Australian Institute of Professional Photography (AIPP) NSW has announced the winners of this year’s Epson AIPP NSW/ACT Professional Photography Awards.

Fujifilm FinePix F610
[ia] On test, the F610 produced images that were sharp but rather saturated, fairly contrasty and slightly over-sharpened. Low light usage is only possible in the Night Scene mode. Shots taken at ISO 160 were noise-free but at ISO 400 noise was visible, and at ISO 800 quite obvious. High ISO settings tended to reduce image sharpness. The white balance was an average performer. Video capture was generally very good and the vertical camera body was easy to hold.

Kodak EasyShare DX7440
With its dedicated Auto setting, AF framing guides and 16 scene modes, the DX7440 is easy enough for a child to use, while its P, A, S, M and custom modes provide enough manual controls to encourage greater photographic involvement. The 4x optical zoom lens covers an appropriate range for family snapshots. The 4x digital zoom control, which is an extension of the optical zoom, also delivers good picture quality. A further extension of the zoom range is available through the 2x telephoto extender lens (RRP $129). Another big plus is its responsiveness. Capture lag was consistent at 0.7 seconds, while shutter lag averaged just over 0.1 seconds.
