Nikon Coolpix L2 Review At Imaging Resource
Imaging Resource has a new review of the 6 megapixel Nikon Coolpix L2 and writes – “For an entry-level camera, the Nikon Coolpix L2 has a lot going for it, including a generous 6-megapixel CCD sensor, a sharp 3x Nikkor optical zoom and improved overall ergonomics, making it the slimmest and best looking digital camera I’ve seen that takes AA batteries. For the novice shooter, the Nikon L2 has a very robust feature set which along with Nikon’s D-Lighting, In-Camera Red-Eye Fix, Face Priority AF and Best Shot Selector, has 15 scene modes including four with Scene Assist. As a basic snapshooter, the L2 performed well, capturing sharp images with a good dynamic range and punchy color.”

Fujifilm FinePix S9000 Review at Consumer Electronic Net
Consumer Electronic Net has reviewed the 9 megapixel Fujifilm FinePix S9000 / S9500 and here’s the verdict – “After using the camera for a week, I have yet to find anything that I don’t like with the unit. The lens motor did seem a bit loud, but this is probably due to the fact that this unit is a review unit that has been around the block a few times. The S9000 has the right heft and size (5×3.7×5.1, around 32 oz with batteries) to it that you won’t introduce too much shake into your shots unless you are working closer to the 300mm focal length, in which case you’d use a tripod anyway.”

Casio Exilim EX-Z1000 Review at Digital Camera Info
Digital Camera Info reviews the 10.1 megapixel Casio Exilim EX-Z1000 and they write – “The EX-Z1000 is not the leading camera its specs suggest it might be. It demonstrates why other manufactures haven’t made 10-megapixel ultra-compact cameras: 1) they can’t get good image quality out of such small sensors; 2) snapshooters don’t need that much resolution; 3) it’s a pain in the neck to store and download such large files.
The Z1000 does offer some enticing options – its metal body, slim size, vaguely entertaining Best Shot modes, and the option of recording nearly a thousand custom models however, these features are all available on cheaper and smaller Casios. Simply put, poor-quality, 10.1-megapixel files don’t justify a $399 price tag.”

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T30 Review at Steve’s Digicams
Steve’s Digicams has reviewed the 7 megapixel Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T30 and they write – “The Cyber-shot DSC-T30 continues Sony’s tradition of robust performance, great image quality, and easy to use features, all packed in a durable metal package that can be tucked away just about anywhere. The only issues I had with the camera were the fingerprints on both the LCD and Lens. With 7-megapixels of resolution, you’ll have plenty of versatility for making prints from your typical 4×6-inch to poster size pictures. With an MSRP of about $499, some may feel it’s a bit expensive. However, with all of these high-end features, the stylish and durable body, and of course excellent performance, we feel it offers a great value; especially for those who must have the “latest and greatest” Sony.”
