'The ISO 200 result is remarkably good and the ISO 400 result is perfectly usable for smaller prints.'
'has a small hesitancy when focussing at the long end of its zoom reach in low contrast light.'
'Its feature set is solid, but not exceptional.'
'The H5 is definitely outclassed by the competition in the continuous shooting department: the Canon PowerShot S3 and Panasonic FZ7/FZ30 can shoot infinitely (with a high speed SD card) at over 2 frames/second.'
'Flash coverage was slightly uneven at wide angle, and the flash actually useless at telephoto (thanks to the long 12x optical zoom range).'
'conversion lens compatible so you can easily add optional telephoto and wide-angle lenses for even greater optical range'
'Just behind the shutter are two buttons: One to choose between various automatic or manual focus modes and another to toggle through drive modes and exposure bracketing'
'The Z612's slow refresh rate probably won't be a deal breaker'
'Kodak's EasyShare Z612 has a ton of useful features, including the normal complement of scene modes plus auto and program modes for people who want simple snapshots, as well as a full array of controls for more advanced shooters'
'the S2 IS is an affordable option for enthusiasts who want the flexibility of a long lens and digital-SLR-like features without the cost.'
'The poor LCD/EVF also presents problems when you need to use the menus.'
'This PowerShot advertises 5 effective megapixels, so it is a bit disappointing that the software only reads 3.45 megapixels at work in the camera's produced files.'
'The good news is that the S2 is no 'minor upgrade' - almost every aspect of the S1's specification and performance has been improved or refined, the body is entirely new'
