Panasonic Lumix GF1 M43 DSLR Review

Cameralabs has reviewed the new Panasonic Lumix GF1 Micro Four Thirds DSLR - the camera features a 12.1 megapixel live view sensor, HD 720p Video at 30fps, 4:3, 3:2, 16:9, 1:1 aspect ratio, AF assist lamp, ISO100 - 3200, 3fps shooting, 3.0" 3:2 aspect 460k pixel screen, dust reduction, and built in flash. Compared to the Olympus E-P1 - It lacks the in body image stablisation, and instead relies on optical IS in the lens. The camera is available in Black, Silver, Red and White, for £619 with kit lens, or £449 body only.

"The new Lumix GF1 departs from the mini-DSLR-styling of the earlier G1 and GH1, instead adopting a relatively compact form factor. Like the Olympus E-P1 before it, the GF1 therefore delivers the combination of large sensor, interchangeable lenses and portability which enthusiasts have been requesting for years. It may still be fairly chunky compared to a typical compact, but is considerably smaller and lighter than a DSLR, especially when fitted with a thin pancake prime lens, like Panasonic’s 20mm f1.7 model."

Canon Powershot G11 Review

DCResource has reviewed the new Canon Powershot G11 - it features a wide angle 5x optical zoom lens (28 - 140mm), with optical image stabilisation, 2.8" twist screen with 461k pixels, 10 megapixel sensor, 1cm macro, VGA 30fps video, ISO3200. The 10 megapixel sensor and new DIGIC 4 processor allows better low light performance with lower noise. The G11 is available for £430.

"The PowerShot G11 produces very good quality photos. Canon claimed that the G11 and its new "high sensitivity" CCD would perform better at low light than other cameras in its class, and they weren't lying. While it certainly won't replace a digital SLR, the G11 lets you use sensitivities a full stop higher than your typical compact camera. If you shoot RAW and do some basic post-processing, even ISO 1600 photos (taken in good light) are usable for small prints."

Nikon Coolpix S640 Review

Photography BLOG has reviewed the new Nikon Coolpix S640 - the 12 megapixel camera features ultra fast focus and start up time, wide angle 5x optical zoom lens (28mm - 140mm), optical image stabilisation, HD video, 2cm macro mode, a 2.7" screen, and USB charging. It will be available in five different colours: black, white, silver, pink, red, for £199.

"Nikon are pushing the speed of the S640, and it certainly doesn't disappoint in this regard. Focusing is on a par with most entry-level DSLRs, quickly locking onto the subject without too many misses. The S640 also bursts into life very quickly, although it's best to leave the camera turned on to avoid that puzzling 5 second "freeze". Other features are a little more mundane, with the versatile 5x optical zoom the pick of the bunch."
