Here is this week’s (Mar 24-30, 2012) digital camera review roundup:

• DCRP (dcresource) reviews the Canon PowerShot SX260 HS [QuickPrice Check] and concludes that “if you do most of your picture taking in daylight, then I think you’ll be pleased with what the PowerShot SX260 can offer.“
• ePHOTOzine reviews the Nikon COOLPIX L810 [QuickPrice Check] and finds that “if you are looking to take pictures of landscapes and other static objects and are looking for some extra zoom, the [Nikon] L810 is one to consider.“
• PhotographyBLOG highly recommends the Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS15 [QuickPrice Check] since it is “more wallet friendly [and] is definitely worth considering if you’re in the market for a pocket camera that has all the bases covered.“
• PhotographyBLOG highly recommends the Nikon COOLPIX P510 [QuickPrice Check] concluding “that 1000mm telephoto setting may sound a little ridiculous on paper, but in reality it is actually a usable setting in good lighting conditions.“
• DigitalCameraInfo reviews the Lytro Light Field camera and finds that “the world’s first consumer light-field camera is exciting, but not ready for prime time.“
• DPReview recommends the Canon G1 X [QuickPrice Check] finding that “the AF is rather slow [but] it captures excellent image quality in almost any light situation.“
• TrustedReviews recommends the Olympus Tough TG-820 [QuickPrice Check] as “one of the better ruggedised compact digital cameras on the market.“
• ePHOTOzine awards its Editor’s Choice to the Nikon D800 [QuickPrice Check] concluding that it “is the highest scoring camera reviewed by ePHOTOzine in recent years and deservedly so.“
• DigitalCameraInfo highly recommends the Sony NEX-7 [QuickPrice Check] concluding that it “is, quite simply, the best mirrorless camera we have tested to date.“
