Digital Camera World magazine July 2006 edition has reviewed the 6 megapixel Canon Powershot S3 IS and they write - If you re sure it s super-zoom that you want, rather than an SLR, the S3 s certainly worth a look. The long stabilized lens, fast operation and extensive features are hard to fault, but image quality isn t perfect and he weak screen and EVF could get frustrating.

Digital Camera Review has reviewed the and writes - The Fujifim F30 is an impressive compact 6 megapixel digital camera with a 3x optical zoom lens and a large 2.
5 display. The camera is one of very few to include ISO 1600 and ISO 3200 modes. It has excellent responsiveness and is designed to be able to take great photos in almost every situation.
Although some people may find the re-styling and altered usability not necessarily to everyone s taste, overall there have been many usability improvements - Particularly welcome is the improved higher resolution screen. The FujiFilm F30 is well worth considering - there are few digital cameras that offer so many options, so much quality, in such a small package.

Consumers Electronic Net has reviewed and they write - In my opinion, the heart of Photo Editor are the How To s, and should prove popular for those users who take advantage of them to create new and interesting projects with their images. When you first launch the application, there is a quick video tutorial on how to create a thank you card.
It shows the application in action, and users might benefit from this type of tutorial in addition to the How To s currently available.
Most indicate their digital cameras only take good pictures within such a small range of lighting conditions. There is no getting around it, unwanted motion blur is a persistent problem.
What causes motion blur and how can digital camera anti-shake, anti-blur, or image stabilization systems help?
First of all it s important to differentiate between the blur caused by movement of the subject you are trying to photograph and that caused by movement of the camera.
Extending the ability for digital cameras to record photos in lower light situations has become a focus of the big digital camera manufacturers.
With this weeks announcement of the new 7 megapixel Optio S7 Pentax has made the decision to use high ISO setting rather than optical image stabilization that it used in the Pentax A10.
Pentax has indicated that when the camera uses high ISO setting of 800 to 1600 the effective resolution drops to 4 megapixels.

Pocket Lint has reviewed the 6 megapixel and they write - Canon s S3IS has generated lots of interest as even a cursory browse on the Internet will show, and given it s results and the pricing, the S3 makes a lot of sense for those trading up from a basic digital compact but they don t want the perceived bulk of a D-SLR.
The Canon Powershot S3IS offers a huge specification level, enough resolution for prints up to and over A3 in size, and provides great image quality, overall, so any of you interested in a long zoom and compact digital camera should put the S3IS very near the top of your list.
ThinkCamera has reviewed the FREE and they write - As one of the world s most famous open source packages, it is something of an oddity. This is because while packages like Adobe Photoshop have leapt ahead in terms of the features they contain, GIMP is different.

Overall, the Z612 has more warts than a bullfrog, but in the end it s all about the pictures and when it counts and where it counts (except for macro) the Z612 delivers.

Luminous Landscape has reviewed the 6 megapixel and they write - The Canon S3 s strength lies in its small size and long zoom reach, combined with Image Stabilization.
While not a pocket digicam, it is coat pocket size, and therefore quite inconspicuous and portable. The use of AA batteries adds to the versatility, and a very high quality movie mode with a dedicated activation button are icing on the cake. At under US $500 retail this camera is a relative bargain.
