Digital Cameras > up to 6 Megapixels Digital Cameras

Advantages: Price, durability, ergonomic design, ease of use, good instructions!
Disadvantages: No memory card included. Argh.

...ISO also applies, and the Nikon Processing engine is the same as the D80 or the D200, with 420 pixel sensor on the 3D Color Matrix Metering. If this all sounds a bit beyond you, the camera ALSO offers lots of helpful and accessible functions like "in-camera retouching". This is just to help you improve your photos BEFORE you take them - the LCD monitor will tell you if your scene is too dark and you need to use the flash (I am so guilty of this). ...
...used across a variety of Nikon models - probably your current Nikon uses the same). I've read some pretty positive comments about the battery life - I would say average. HOWEVER, there is NO MEMORY CARD INCLUDED. I cannot stress this enough - it's the one big irritation in the specification. The camera is still definitely worth getting, but you do need to budget for a card (and probably if you buy this card you'll need a reasonably big one). The ... Read review

Advantages: Nearly everything and more in compact
Disadvantages: No optical viewfinder and manual focussing

...cheek by jowell with the Panasonic Lumix DMC TZ2 for about eight months now. It lives in a pouch on my trouser belt and never leaves my side. As an ex-freelance photographer for the British press, I always carry a camera, and this little beauty has never let me down. In fact, I can take it out of its pouch, switch it on and be ready for action in less than ten seconds. In my press days, we used to carry three 35mm camera bodies with a wide-angle ...
...optics and build quality and Panasonic provide the electronics. A combination made in heaven? Try it and see. There are lots and lots of settings that are possible to make and other reviews go into great detail. I will stress one particular feature that never occurred in conventional cameras but is vital here....colour balance. You need to set this for the prevailing light conditions particular the type of light source. The daylight setting is easy ... Read review

Advantages: Super Macro function, price
Disadvantages: Battery life

...naturally - on my old Canon A40 there was no playback sound). "In Conclusion" The only real negative is the speed with which the two AA batteries are consumed, but that's my fault for not buying rechargables. This model is smaller & lighter than earlier versions, but functions are not sacrificed. Do buy an extra memory card, otherwise your enthusiasm for taking 5 megapixel photos will be swiftly thwarted by lack of space. The x4 optical zoom is ...
...you're contemplating a career as a paparazzo, probably unnecessary most of the time. There are a few other functions and changeable settings, but I can't find the manual to remind myself of what they are! So this review comes with a caveat: It concentrates on the elements I use on a regular basis and is not exhaustive. I've also undermined what was going to be my final point: Read the manual! As far as I can remember it is well written and informative, ... Read review

Advantages: Price / simple to use / decent photos
Disadvantages: Flash / zoom

I bought this for a reasonable £40 off eBay for the simple reason I decided it would soon pay for itself, and it has. I don't take many photos and was a firm believer in the disposable camera several times a year for music festivals and the occasional party or "big" event. After the costs of buying 3 or 4 disposable cameras and then developing then I decided it would be worth investing in a decent but cheap camera that I wouldn't be gutted about ...
...The camera's interface is very easy to use though, and switching between shoot and view is simple so you can see if you've taken a decent shot. The picture quality of the photos are decent and satisfactory although the results after using the zoom are far from perfect. On using the zoom for something not so far away to get it in the picture better the zoom is alright but over a greater distance it is pretty inneffective, not so good considering ... Read review

Advantages: Price, Auto function
Disadvantages: Flash

...Backwords compatibility with almost anny Pentax lens. The shake reduction system actualy works, you can take photos with a 300mm zoom witout a tripod. Cons. Shutter noise is a bit loud. Auto focus takes a bit long when taking fotos in low light. There is no infra red to assist focusing. The Flash assisted focusing in low light, is very irratating and your sybjects can thingk you have alreddy rtaken the photo. Conclusion. Wonderfull entry ... Read review
