Pocket Size Camera Reviews - Finding the Features You Need

There are camera makers that always seem to stand out from the rest. It's often those who have been around for a long time and have the experience and resources to continue making advances in digital photography.

While there is a huge supply of feature rich digital cameras to choose from, there is no apparent decrease in demand either, which means that the consumer benefits from the companies trying to outdo each other. If you're in the market for something special, take a look at the following cameras.

First up, let's take a look at the Fujifilm FinePix F80EXR. It has a mega-zoom feature that may appeal to some. The 12 megapixels of this camera are great for large prints. It is reasonably priced for the advance features it offers. The EXR sensor offers three different modes to choose from. What that does is it essentially makes the F80 a three in one type of camera. Highest resolution, optimum dynamic range, and lowest possible noise are the three different modes for you to choose from. But the most impressive feature is the F80EXR can also analyze the scene and make the best selection for you to ensure the best picture possible.

The next camera you might want to check out is by Sony; it's the Cyber-Shot DSC T100. The fact that this camera features Sony's patented face detecting technology is a huge draw among many of its fans. Other noteworthy features of the Cyber-Shot DSC-T100 include 8 megapixels, a 3 inch LCD display, and 5x zoom. If you want picture perfect tones for flesh in your photos you'll really appreciate the flash metering in these cameras. Many people feel that the image processing capacity of this camera is its best feature. Its advantages include longer battery life, improved image quality, and lower response requirements.

Now, let's take a look at the Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS5. This pocket size mega-zoom camera produces good pictures, although at slightly lowered ISO's. It has a decent complement of features, and overall we think this is a decent alternative to some cameras on the market. The ultra-wide lens and 12.1 megapixels allow this camera to take good quality photos with good image sharpness. You will be able to exert manual control which does have value. The 12X optical zoom capacity is what qualifies this camera as a mega-zoom along with a 25 mm wide angle lens. You'll need to use the 2.7 inch TFT display since there is no viewfinder on a mega-zoom.

The selection of pocket size digital cameras is truly vast for a lot of reasons. The preferred route would be to find a camera that meets all your needs from a camera and falls within your budgetary constraints. If you aren't planning a high number of large print photographs there's no need to focus on a high pixel count. Don't listen to slick marketing ads that are designed to entice you to focus on that one thing to the exclusion of other features that may be more important to you.
