Editorial Review:

The 7.2-Megapixel Cyber-shot(R) W120 features innovative Smile Shutter technology, which photographs smiles as they happen. A Carl Zeiss 4x optical zoom lens provides high quality close-ups, while Sony's Double Anti-Blur solution gives you crisp, clear images. The advanced Sony Super HAD(TM) (Hole Accumulated Diode) CCD design allows more light to pass to each pixel, increasing sensitivity and reducing noise. Because an off-center subject can make your shot more interesting, a 9-point auto focus measures the focus at 9 precision points instead of 5 giving you greater creative freedom to compose your image. The large, bright 2.5" TFT LCD display makes it easy to compose shots, check results, and read menus in sharp natural color, even in bright sunlight. Face Detection technology automatically controls focus, exposure, color, and flash to help reveal faces in shadows, make skin tones look more natural, reduce red-eye, and eliminate harsh facial glare, so your photos bring out every expression on every face in every shot. Super SteadyShot(R) Image Stabilization compensates for shaky hands and minimizes blur with optical sensors that detect camera movement and send correcting signals to a stabilization lens. For great stills and movies, and simple use, the Sony DSC-W120 is a great, all-around camera.

Editorial Review:

The Samsung S860 is a high-resolution digital camera that is equipped with a true-color filtered 8.1-Megapixel CCD. This allows the Samsung S860 to take detailed photos for printing up to poster size. With the Face Detection AF & AE function, the Samsung S860 enables the user to take better portrait pictures more easily. This function detects faces and automatically focuses on them. The brightness of the faces is adjusted optimally for beautiful portrait pictures. In macro shooting, it is now possible to take clear, natural pictures. Digital Image Stabilization (DIS) technology prevents the degradation of image clarity and color, which is sometimes found in flash photography. With DIS the effects of image blur are reduced in lower light conditions. You can even take well-exposed, sharper pictures in low light conditions without using a flash at all, which guarantees brighter and more natural pictures. The different icons, scene modes and other features are described in simple and easy to understand terms to improve the interaction between the user and camera.

Best wide angle point and shoot 5 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

I have been a loyal nikon customer for years. I have gone through 3 other nikons, always upgrading. when I first picked up this camera the quality of the product and it's images blew past that of every camera on display.
1. the wide angle lens allows you to increase those group shots from four or five to 8 or 9 w/o needing to back up ten feet.
2. once you begin to play around and figure out all of the settings/iso modes etc....you can really push this camera to the limits. I have become a huge fan of the color isolation feature.
3. when zooming, even in the optical, the pixilation and shadowing is far better than that of other cameras on the market. I compared this with two nikons, panasonic, and a sony. None had such a clear screen to view, nor the features.
this camera may not be an slr, but for the price, features, and appeal it has when i pull it out....i will always be a canon guy now!

The Jury is still out 4 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

I previously had a Canon S2 IS as I wanted the 10x optical zoom. I was incredibly disappointed that after 2 years, the lens jammed. Called an error 18. Upon doing research I learned it is a common problem with the Canon lens. Customer service was less than acceptable. I still wanted a zoom lens and shopped around for price point, size, optical zoom. I was a little gun shy with Canon and compared the camera to its competitor which I believe is the Lumix. I ended up getting Canon's new version of the 10x zoom. It increased the mp to 9 which is good. This camera is much smaller which is great. The pictures are good and so far I don't have any complaints. I am still learning about the camera and have not yet played with all the features. My concern is the shelf life with regard to this lens as I do use the camera frequently. If this lens tanks on me I will no longer be a Canon Camera owner. So, at this point I would recommend the camera with re: to size, picture quality, optical zoom options and image stabilization. The price point is very reasonable.

Editorial Review:

From a 10x optical zoom lens to advanced Canon technology that automatically gives you the best shot, the 9.0-megapixel PowerShot SX110 IS packs impressive value. Advanced Face Detection Technology automatically sets focus, exposure, flash and white balance for beautiful portraits and group shots. Sharp, steady close-ups are easy with the powerful zoom and Canons Optical Image Stabilizer Technology. The slim and modern-looking SX110 IS is sized to go everywhere, and youll never miss a detail with the big, bright LCD screen.

Editorial Review:

The Z20fd Finepix digital still camera features face detection to significantly improve your picture taking by identifying human subjects' faces in the frame (up to 10 faces) and in real time, determining the optimal focus and exposure settings for the absolute best results possible in any shooting conditions. Behind Fujifilm's face detection technology is a newly developed LSI chip combined with patented software that allows the FinePix Z20fd digital still camera to reach a level of performance in digital photography never before possible. And the sophisticated, intelligent software algorithms detect red-eye and correct it in-camera. More than just red-eye reduction, this is red-eye elimination, after the image has been captured, to assure every picture looks its best.The FinePix Z20fd with picture stabilization will automate professional photographic techniques to help reduce camera shake, freeze subject movement and improve low light background detail. Picture stabilization utilizes higher sensitivities, up to ISO 1600 in the Z20fd, an incredibly high signal to noise ratio, and faster shutter and operational speeds to deliver virtually blur free images where conventional digital cameras cannot.The Finepix Z20fd features high sensitivity of up to 1600 ISO at full resolution. It is combined with Fujfilm's advanced processor capabilities, shooting in low light environments with the Z20fd yields exceptional performance with less noise. The FinePix Z20fd is designed with style and fashion in mind for the youthful photographer that's on the move.The Finepix Z20fd features an xD / SD / SD-HC compatible slot, allowing the use of either xD picture card or SD media to store and transfer your photos.

With Sony's Face Detection technology, the DSC-S750 detects up to three faces and optimizes focus and exposure for accurate, natural photos of family and friends.

You can also capture 320 x 240 video clips at high frame rate (30 frames per second) and audio with the built-in microphone.

Excellent Camera 5 out of 5 stars.
9 of 10 people found this review helpful.

This camera takes excellent pictures. I particularly like the Optical Image Stabalization, Motion sensor, and face recognition. I only make 4 X 6 prints. So far no problems. The pet/children mode does a good job of stopping action.
I've used the optical viewfinder a couple of times. It doesn't show 100% of the picture, but it sure makes a difference in extreme sunlight.
Sometimes it is necessary indoors to increase the ISO in order to increase the flash distance (easily done with a button). I still get great pictures. I know some reviewers blow the pictures up and indicate the noise in the picture. It's just not evident in normal picture prints. I'm sure there would be obvious noise if I was using high ISOs. Battery life is great also. I use Lithium AAs. They last so long there is no need to use recharageable batteries.
The only thing I definately miss is a button to delete "ALL" pictures. There's a button for individual deleting, but you have to use the menu to detete all. I guess you could look at it as a safety feature, making it hard to accidentially delete all your pictures.
There is a lack of manaul controls, but I never used the manual controls in my prior cameras.
The camera size will fit into a pocket, even though I prefer using a case that fits on my belt. I would highly recommend this camera to others.

Editorial Review:

The sleek design of the PowerShot A1000 IS is as refreshing as a breath of fresh air. Better still, its highend features make everything simple: theres the 10.0-megapixel resolution and powerful 4x optical zoom lens with Optical Image Stabilizer for sharpness along the full zoom range. A DIGIC III Image Processor with Canon Face Detection automatically lets every face stand out. Easy Mode and Easy Playback make this camera a marvel of simplicity. With a bright 2.5-inch LCD, its available in four two-toned colors.

Dissappointed with Fuji S2000HD 2 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

I purchased the S2000HD to replace my Fuji FinePix S5000. After firing over 130,000 pictures through the S5000, I thought purchasing another FinePix camera would bring the same or better results. This camera has let me down!
The S5000 shots at 6 megapixels with amazing clarity and color saturation. I have printed pictures up to 2' X 3' where you begin to notice the pixels. An 11" X 17" picture turns out sharp and crisp. When I read the specs about the S2000HD, I was excited to have picture quality with additional upgrades including a larger LCD screen, wide-angle lens, and faster `burst' picture mode for sporting events. But the results were offset by poor performance and even poorer customer service.
On Halloween I shot about 100 frames of `trick or treaters' at my door. About a dozen were clear enough to see details in their costumes. I shot on the automatic mode and almost created a traffic jam as the kids had to wait for the camera to focus, set, and flash. My old camera would perform this function in less than a second while the S2000HD thought about it for several seconds then produced a poor shot. I soon learned to forget trying the automatic setting and move on to one of the pre-set shooting modes.
I just returned from a cruise to the Caribbean and tried to find a `comfort level' with this unit, because like others I `wanted' to like this camera. After almost 2,000 pictures, I am here to report it did not happen.
Others have reported the view finder `whiting out' when viewing a bright scene, and it frustrated me! Any shot with a bright sun forced me to take the shot `blind' hoping to catch the scene and waiting for the picture review to see what I shot. The `BEACH' scene position produced washed out results of the beach (along with the automatic setting), but the `LANDSCAPE' setting produced great colors. But don't use this setting in a medium to low light setting. After down loading the pictures today, the good color results were wiped out by poor focusing.
The lens cap is a total joke. It doesn't stay on unless you keep it in a bag. After visiting the Turk Islands I was reviewing my pictures and noticed a blurred spot on the pictures. Somehow when the cap fell off I must have touched the lens and left a smudge mark thus ruining almost all the shots.
The topper is trying to contact Fujifilm to ask questions. I tried their website and found the typical preset question-answers did not address my concerns, and when I tried to complete a questionnaire/problem form, the response came back after hitting the send tab that the page could not be found. I tried their technical service hot line in New Jersey for 4 hours and was told on the answering message to call back during normal hours. I called from Seattle on a Tuesday from 8:00 AM to about 1:00 PM! I tried other location and actually reached a lady in Texas who put me through to a technician. The guy could barely speak English and after several minutes finally said the focusing may need to be adjusted and send it their New Jersey facility where they would take a look at it and get it back in a couple of weeks. I was leaving the next week on vacation!
The bottom line is if you haven't bought this camera....DON'T! I passed the 30 day return window for Amazon's return policy during my trip so I am STUCK with this thing. I could tell you about some good points about the camera, but it would be like me telling you everything wrong about your girl friend, but adding she cooks a great pot of chili.
