'The standard range of metering controls (multi-area, center-weighted, spot) are available for more involved metering tasks, but the Cyber-shot was accurate enough in this regard that I rarely felt the need to step outside of the default multi-area setting'
'battery life is low, but it's uncomfortably small for frequent use.'
'The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W150 couples a 8.1 megapixel sensor to a Zeiss-branded 5x optical zoom and a generous 2.7" LCD display'
'I was able to capture 10 full resolution (8M) images in 4.2 seconds, about
2.3fps, which soared by Sony's claim of 1.6fps.'
'I'm glad to say that the company has addressed this shortcoming with its new budget superzoom model, the 7.2-megapixel Lumix DMC-TZ3, our latest Editors' Choice winner.'
'The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ3 is an attractive SLR-shaped camera with 3.1 effective megapixels'
'The Panasonic TZ3 is a good option for someone looking for a compact ultrazoom camera, with quick performance and a nice feature set.'
'It seems like everybody has to offer their camera in at least one color, and Panasonic is no exception.'
'The Olympus 830 packs its features into an all-weather metal body that can handle rain, sleet and snow.'
'The trade off for using the Stylus with impunity when the weather gets bad comes by way of button feel: in order to effectively seal the case, the 830's controls are often “sticky” and more difficult to press than those on conventional devices.'
'the use of high ISOs introduce lots of noise and loss of image detail, visible when viewed at full size.'
'the Casio Exilim EX-V7 offers a unique combination of features'
'"Casio is a unique brand and the Casio EX-V7 is a good example of their uniqueness'
'new EXILIM Engine 2.0 image processor'
'We give Casio credit for trying to push the limits of the compact camera market, but ultimately found this model's interface made it annoyingly awkward to use.'
'the T200 is still a pretty good ultra-compact camera, and one which I can recommend to most everyone.'
'The Sony DSCT200 digital camera is a great bargain for the money it costs'
'Like most new Cyber-shot cameras, the T200's system settings rest hidden in the device's PlayStation Portable-like Home menu, a slightly redundant submenu you probably won't access much except when turning off the camera's annoying beeps.'
'The fact the screen doesn't automatically gain-up in low light is almost inexcusable'
'The specs state it's waterproof to 10 feet, but the manual states on page 3: This ATC-2K camera is water resistant, but it cannot be used underwater.'
'The camera records at VGA resolution (640 by 480) at 30 frames per second, which isn't the best resolution for high-speed motion'
