Here is this week’s (Sep 10-16, 2011) digital camera review roundup:

• DCRP (dcresource) isn’t too impressed with the low noise capability of the Nikon COOLPIX S9100 [QuickPrice Check] but finds that “its photo quality is good enough for the point-and-shoot crowd (assuming they aren’t cranking up the ISO too high or making large prints).“
• Luminous Landscape has published their first impressions of the Sony SLT-A65 [QuickPrice Check] finding that “the A65 will satisfy the vast majority of photographers looking for a state-of-the-art DSLR style camera.“
• ePHOTOzine have published their review of the Hasselblad H4D-200MS [QuickPrice Check], a medium-format DSLR with 200MP and 50MP resolution capture.
• So, hype aside, just how does the iPhone 4 camera stacks up in an objective test? Imaging Resource puts the camera in the Apple iPhone 4 thru the ringer and reports on the results.
• PhotographyBLOG recommends the entry-level Samsung ST95 [QuickPrice Check] finding that “there’s actually very little to dislike about the pocket friendly Samsung ST95.“
• TrustedReviews recommends the Sony Alpha NEX-C3 [QuickPrice Check] finding that “overall image quality is very good. While the NEX-C3 offers compact camera proportions, the benefits of the larger APS-C sensor are clear to see.“
• TechRadar recommends the Sony Alpha NEX-C3 [QuickPrice Check] finding that “the performance at high ISO sensitivities is excellent.“
• ePHOTOzine recommends the Pentax Q [QuickPrice Check] for delivering “high image quality – but at a price higher than other mirrorless compacts – and these other mirrorless have better performance in image quality and speed.“
