Here is this week’s (Apr 23-29, 2011) digital camera review roundup:
as a “a budget point and shoot compact that offers a range of consumer friendly features.“
finding that “casual shooters will even love the excellent performance at high ISOs, especially if they venture into Handheld NightScene mode.“
as “offering a compelling mix of great image and movie quality, precise and quick auto-focusing, accurate metering and a fantastic LCD screen, all in a format that most users will find intutive and enjoyable to use. This is precisely what a DSLR that’s competitively priced for the mass-market should deliver.“ finding it is “without doubt one of the most compelling products in its class, and [...] produces excellent images with a minimum of fuss.“
and concludes “it remains a top choice for those looking for a capable yet budget-friendly camera.“
as delivering “excellent value for someone who wants a little more versatility when it comes to picture taking than their current smart phone may allow.“
“for those users who don’t require a whole host of features but who nevertheless see the value in a broader than average focal range.“
as “one of the best mirrorless cameras available with excellent usability. On top of this, image quality is very good, and the camera has the best HD video quality of any current camera.“
finding that it “captures good quality images with better detail than most digital cameras of this resolution deliver.“
as “still a good camera … but ultimately the photos that it produces just aren’t as good as the model that it has replaced.“ and finds that it “still deliver[s] good image quality with better battery life for a much more wallet-friendly price.“
“did not blow us away in any specific area, but the camera did a passable job in all of our tests… We found the A33 to be a handy shooter with a good set of controls, an intuitive menu system, and some fun features to boot.“
, “the image quality of the SX230 is very good, and by far one of its best selling points.“

Here’s a Behind the Scenes of the Runner Up in the Olympus PEN Your Short 48 Hour Film Contest, Der Bürgermeister (“The Mayor”). Team T&A (emerging producer/director Andrew Putschoegl and veteran actor and stand-up comic Tom Lenk) are the brains behind this “mockumentary” about the mayor of Zwiebelberg filmed entirely with the Olympus PEN camera using its various Art Filters for special effects (“mood” creation).
