Pocket Size Camera Reviews - Finding the Features You Need
By: Brooks Knight | Posted: 28th June 2011
When it comes to consumer electronics, the pocket size camera industry is one that keeps growing. As you know, there are a lot of manufacturers, and the competition for market share is intense. The greater amount of competition is good news for you as a consumer. In an industry that is all about innovation, the competition drives the development of advanced technology, new features, and other innovations. So today we're going to talk about this ultra cool market for the best pocket size cameras including some reviews of particular models.
You may want to consider the Canon PowerShot S90 if you want a camera that takes high quality photos indoors without using a flash. Many camera makers create a line of cameras that have some specific strong point or feature. In this case, S90 does well in low light conditions because of its wide angle lens and ability to capture subtle details. The large display can also be used to view photos which many people enjoy.
This is a great camera for those that like to have more control over their photographic compositions. You can manually control the aperture, sensitivity, and the shutter speed. All of this and the easy to use interface mean this camera is a great choice. The next camera up for review is Canon's PowerShot SD870 IS. There aren't many differences in features over the SD850 IS by Canon there are some cosmetic differences that are notable. This camera upgrades from 8 to 8.3 megapixels and 2.5 to 3 inches for the LCD screen. The Digic III image processor, however, is completely new and the camera boasts some advanced technology. This camera has shorter processing time partly due to the phenomenal face detection feature that is capable of detecting up to nine faces. There is an updated controller pad for this model that offers more ergonomically and is more responsive.
Next, let's look at the Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS5. You can produce good pictures with this pocket size mega-zoom camera. The features offered on this camera make it a decent alternative to some other cameras on the market. This 12.1 megapixel camera comes with an ultra-wide lens with very good image sharpness and quality. This camera also allows you to exert manual control. The 12X optical zoom capacity is what qualifies this 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. These are a few of the pocket size cameras available. These cameras can be a good way to test out digital ultra-compact cameras if you've never used one. They are priced very reasonably and do provide decent enough picture quality.
