Here is this week’s (Mar 31-April 6, 2012) digital camera review roundup:

• KenRockwell highly recommends the Canon 5D Mark III [Specs] as “the world’s best Canon DSLR.“
• ePHOTOzine reviews the Canon PowerShot ELPH 110 HS [QuickPrice Check] and finds “a stylish ultra compact camera with a good set of features and the camera is capable of producing bright colourful images with good detail.“
• Imaging Resource loves the Nikon 1 V1 [QuickPrice Check] concluding that “the Nikon V1′s image quality is pretty good for its size [though] it doesn’t quite rival the image quality of competing Micro Four Thirds and APS-C compact system cameras at higher ISOs.“
• Steve’s Digicams reviews the Samsung WB750 [QuickPrice Check] finding that “with a plethora of creative options, good image quality, and blazing fast performance, the WB750 is tough to beat in the compact Super-zoom category. It does however shoot a bit more noise than we’d like to see.“
• Imaging Resource highly recommends the Canon SX40 HS [QuickPrice Check] as “may be the pinnacle of their megazoom efforts to date, with excellent image quality and good overall performance… look no further.“
• CameraLabs highly recommends the Panasonic Lumix ZS20 [QuickPrice Check] as it “regains the Highly Recommended award lost last year due to image quality.“
• DigitalCameraReview reviews the Canon PowerShot ELPH 110 HS [QuickPrice Check] and concludes: “The bottom line here is that absolutely anybody can take decent pictures with the Canon Powershot ELPH 110 HS.“
• Steve’s Digicams finds that the Panasonic Lumix TS20 [QuickPrice Check] “is an affordable accessory for anyone with kids, a pool or those who are adventurous.“
• DigitalCameraInfo likes the Nikon COOLPIX P510 [QuickPrice Check] finding that “the enormous zoom range and strong image quality are reason enough to put the P510 toward the top of the superzoom heap.“
• DCRP (dcresource) reviews the Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS15 [QuickPrice Check] and finds it “is still a very good compact ultra zoom camera. It offers a nice zoom lens in a compact body, along with robust performance, very good photo quality, tons of features, and Full HD video recording.“
