Coming with various automatic features, the Kodak EasyShare M893 IS mentioned by the company with slogan ‘You press the button, we do the rest’. This 8.1 MP camera sports 3x optical zoom, face detection, and 32 MB built-in storage.

Verdict

At around £110 the M893 isn’t bad value for money. You get a highly portable camera with a fair sprinkling of features - although not …

The new EOS 450D is the successor of Canon DSLR camera EOS 400D, 350D, and 300D which first released more than four years ago. And the good news, this new camera comes with wider functionality but still has a $200 lower price compare to the last generation, 400D. Nice..

On the third page of this review you’ll find a detailed breakdown of all of the changes and updates compared to the EOS 400D but the headlines are; a larger 3.0″ LCD monitor, Live View with both passive and contrast detect AF, Spot metering, improved auto-focus, 3.5 fps continuous shooting a larger viewfinder and a switch SD/SDHC for storage (all previous cameras in this range were Compact Flash). Other features appear to be inherited from the EOS 40D; 14-bit image pipeline, Highlight Tone priority, optional High ISO noise reduction, ‘My Menu’ and display of the ISO sensitivity on the viewfinder status line.

Pocket-lint scores the Kodak EasyShare M893 IS: 7/10, it means worth to buy. Featuring 8MP image sensor, 3x optical zoom, SD card storage, this camera is considered user friendly and the image quality is great at lower sensitivity.

Verdict:
The Kodak EasyShare M893 IS provides nice features within a tidy, pocketable design but image noise and sluggish performance don’t do it any favours

Boasting 12.1MP resolution, the Nikon Coolpix S700 got possitive review from Image Resource. Its main features include 3x optical zoom, 2.7-inch LCD, and ISO 3200.

Small, compact, and very capable, the Nikon Coolpix S700 will please many consumers with its good color, exposure, and resolution. The Nikon S700 captures great images under a variety of conditions, thanks to its range of preset Scene modes and useful tools such as D-Lighting and Distortion Control. Face-Priority AF technology helps get the best focus on portraits, even of large groups. The 12.1-megapixel CCD captures excellent resolution and detail in good light an at low ISO, and the 3x optical zoom lens is sharp and clear. High ISOs extend the camera’s low-light shooting capabilities, though strong image noise becomes a factor. Printed results show that ISO 800 is capable of getting a good 5×7. Higher ISOs aren’t a good idea unless you don’t mind a noisy 4×6, but that’s not a big surprise on a very high resolution pocket camera. The lower-than-average battery life will require purchase of an extra battery for long outings, unfortunately. Overall though, the Nikon Coolpix S700 won’t disappoint.

TrustedReviews scores the Casio Exilim EX-S10 7 of 10 (good enough, i think). Before going further to the full reviews, here are the main technical specs: 10MP image sensor, 3x optical zoom, 50-1600 of ISO rating, and 2.7-inch LCD screen.

As a small snapshooter the Casio may not suit everyone, even though it offers something for everyone. The handling is down to taste …

As a successor of the D40X, the Nikon D60 comes with minor upgrade. It has the same sensor resolution at 10MP, the same external look, but it has some new features including Dust Reduction System, Active D-Lighting, an Eye Sensor, new interface, Nikon EXPEED processing ‘concept’, and New stabilized AF-S DX 18-55 mm kit lens.

The D60 takes the successful formula established in the D40 / D40X and, well, if we’re being honest, doesn’t do a great deal with it at all - the leap from D40 to D40X was a lot greater than the step up from D40X to D60 (even if Nikon’s naming convention might seem to imply the opposite). There’s a few nice new features, and bundling the new ‘VR’ (stabilized) version of the kit lens is a smart move that makes the whole package a lot more appealing, but it’s fair to say that the D60 is a subtle upgrade rather than a wholescale reinvention of Nikon’s entry-level best-seller.
