The BenQ DC E40 is a compact 4 megapixel digital camera with a 1.5″ touch-screen. The camera records unlimited length videos with sound. The camera is easy to use, but produces average images with high noise, low detail, and slightly dark images. The camera’s touch screen is an interesting idea, but poorly executed with a small screen. For around £100 (UK) this camera offers good value for money, and is quite unique in having a touch screen that could be quite fun, but the camera could definitely be much better.

The Canon Powershot G6 is Canon’s latest top-end model in the PowerShot range. An update of the old G5, the PowerShot G6 offers a versatile package of point and shoot options with a truck load of manual controls and sophisticated options for the enthusiast snapper. Although the G6 is not the most compact of digital compacts, is fairly pricey for the resolution and has more noise at higher ISOs than I’d like to see, it still packs in a huge amount of kit and has excellent handling and ergonomics. The superb lens helps record plenty of detail while the camera is particularly flexible thanks to the vari-angle LCD and versatile shooting tools.

With its easily recognizable and attractive Cyber Shot design, the DSC-P73 is small enough to slide into a pocket or a purse. However, such portability often comes with some sacrifice. In this case, it’s a small 1.5-inch LCD with status icons that only those with keen eyesight will be able to decipher. The menu, on the other hand, is bright, clear, and readable. The optical viewfinder is tiny and slightly distorted, but it’s fairly bright.

The layout of controls is logical and provides easy access. A four-way keypad delivers quick review, as well as flash, macro, and self-timer controls. A quick press of the dedicated display button allows you to move through four options: three levels of camera information or the choice of turning off the screen. There’s also a dual-function button that lets you change resolution on the fly or delete images in playback.

Enjoy the best of both worlds with the new Casio Exilim Pro EX-P505

Casio Electronics Co., Ltd. has released the newest model in its popular EXILIM digital camera range. The new CASIO EXILIM PRO EX-P505 is a stylish digital camera equipped with a 5.0 megapixel imaging element and a 5x optical zoom. It not only takes superbly detailed digital photos, it is also capable of shooting extended video at high quality. The CASIO EXILIM PRO EX-P505 is the ideal camera for the amateur photography enthusiast and keen movie-maker.

The new CASIO EXILIM PRO EX-P505 is a high-performance digital still camera with a superior quality video capability. It features a 5x optical zoom, an imaging CCD with 5.0 million effective pixels, and the EXILIM Engine, along with a large 2-inch TFT colour rotating screen that makes taking angled shots a breeze. Additionally, the EX-P505 offers high quality video capability, of 30 frames per second at VGA size, thanks to the incorporation of MPEG-4 technology. MPEG-4 is a video compression standard that offers significantly greater compression than its predecessors which means you can shoot DVD-quality video on the camera. This makes the EX-P505 an ideal digital camera for consumers who are equally keen on creating their own movies.

The EX-P505 is the third camera in the award winning EXILIM PRO range. It incorporates CASIO’s unique ‘EXILIM Engine’, an extremely compact image processing module, that delivers high quality images and high-speed operation, all within extremely compact dimensions. The module’s low power consumption, when used in combination with CASIO’s SUPER LIFE battery, means with the EX-P505, you can just keep on shooting!
