'all the exposures seem brighter, regardless of metering setting, then they were with the D300.'
'Well-made.'
'lovely, vivid images'
'The button layout is extremely similar to what was used on the D300, so anyone familiar with that camera should have a relatively easy time learning the control interface on the D300S.'
'For photographers looking for a more point-and-shoot experience, never fear, the 2.7-inch LCD screen is available as well. '
'With an innovative color filter array and image processing technology, the EXR ensures an advanced reproduction in imaging with exceptionally balanced quality.
'
'Because of the composite body and lens structure, there is no need to worry about dirt or dust on the Super CCD EXR sensor, and they are perfectly aligned for the very best results. '
'The Fujifilm FinePix S200EXR is the "almost DSLR" Super Zoom and is easily the best bridge DSLR-like digital camera. '
'It's hard to tell which is softer in the corners, the wide or tele shots, but the telephoto end is strongly influenced by the chromatic aberration in the scene.'
'At ISO 1600, noise was very noticeable despite noise suppression'
'The problem is that they only save 3 images at a burst, which compares poorly with competing cameras, and limits the usefulness of a burst mode in the first place – a 3-frame sequence won't tell the story of a sports play, or a bouquet toss, et cetera.'
'a 1/1.8-inch CCD sensor and 12x optical zoom lens'
'Images shot at high ISOs are noisy.'
'the FZ20 sports a Leica-branded DC Vario-Elmarit zoom with a whopping 12x optical range (35-420mm equiv), though this time without the constant F2.8 aperture.'
'The key controls are easy to get to, with sensitivity, white balance and image size/quality accessed directly from the mode dial.'
'the Coolpix 8800 forces you to take the additional step of setting the camera to one of its continuous shooting modes--or (if you don't switch to continuous mode) to press the shutter three to five times for a complete bracket.'
'the ISO 400 image is quite noisy, with a lot of missing detail.'
'The Nikon Coolpix 8800 has very impressive specifications.'
