'The Olympus SP-590UZ's noise levels were average for the megazoom models we tested.'
'flimsy lens cap'
'While its continuous shooting rate of 1.2 frames per second sits close to the bottom of its class, frame rate is almost immaterial with an EVF camera since your real constraint for burst usability is the blackout interval of the viewfinder, which is almost universally bad.'
'Stylus Tough cameras continue to enable you to capture great high-resolution images in freezing situations where most traditional cameras would fail. '
'great little camera'
'The Olympus M Tough-6020's menu system is new and incredibly easy to operate.'
'Combining many design elements — including a high-grade aluminum-alloy housing and delicately-contoured chrome-plated parts that sparkle from every angle — the body has a beautiful elegant finish that is a statement of the quality within.

'The Pentax Optio P80 is a stylish and compact digital camera offered by Pentax with several advanced features. '
'It offers a slim design and an array of fashionable colors. '
'Intelligent ISO Control prevents the blurring of a moving subject by optimizing shutter speed and ISO settings to render sharp, clear images.'
'Doesn't deal well with moving subjects.'
'The LUMIX F3 also records dynamic High Definition video in 1280 x 720p, at a smooth 30 fps, in addition to WVGA (848 x 480) and normal VGA (640 x 480). '
'Part of the company's Zoom series, the Z1080 features increased ISO sensitivity'
'I found the photo software bundled with the EX-Z1080 fairly useless: It creates an on-screen album for viewing and organizing photos, but it lacks real photo-editing tools.'
'this works best with things such as shots of TV or computer screens, or shop windows where you don't want your reflection in the photo.'
'the Caplio R5 has been designed to give even more fun and easy photography.'
'there's no more visible detail captured than from a 6MP compact.'
'The Caplio features some internal memory, but this isn't much use for anything other than trying the camera out, due to the large file size of the resulting photos.'
