'terrific camera'

'The G12, which updates the acclaimed G11, is an option for those who want better pictures and better features than a less well specified compact will deliver, but don't actually want to go the whole hog and plump for a DSLR.'

'the camera is replete with advanced shooting features.'

'excellent camera'

'The grip-less camera feels surprisingly good in the hand, thanks to thoughtful ideas like a small but well placed  thumb rest on the rear panel.'

'carry-anywhere all-purpose camera'

'The best part about the Olympus XZ-1 was the fact that its image quality backed its hardware, and the camera proved itself a well-equipped tool that excelled when it came to manual controls.'

'Large image sensor'

'the Canon G10 holds true to the elements that have made the G series a successful shooter's camera over the years.'

'the camera did just fine, and thanks to the RAW option, you can recover a lot of invisible detail.'

'one well-rounded camera'

'a relatively compact camera to simply carry around without all the attendant SLR gear.'

'The front of the camera body is nearly flat with a few shallow contours.'

'The Canon PowerShot G9 is a very powerful compact which will greatly appeal to enthusiasts or anyone looking for a pocketable backup for a DSLR.'

'it's zippy and built like a tank.'

'the Canon G9 has convinced me.'

'The P880 was designed to combine the sophisticated performance options and advanced creative capabilities of a dSLR with Kodak's signature user-friendly philosophy and legendary operational simplicity.'

'The EasyShare P880 is a fairly large camera that looks more at home with D-SLRs than fixed-lens cameras.'

'on paper - looks like a very compelling mix of features'
