Top Five Compact Consumer Digital Cameras. August 2009
2009 has seen a number of impressive consumer digital cameras hit the market. None more so than the five we have selected below. Ranging in price and features, it’s no wonder why these have been at the right end of top sellers lists throughout the year. Let’s waste no time in getting to know them:
Panasonic Lumix TZ7
This camera almost needs no introduction, flying off the shelves at every camera and electrical shop. Stunning Image quality all round, HD movies, sharp focus and a good image stabilizer. The lumix 12x optical zoom is a real winner, and has produced stunning results in the labs. 27 scene modes will keep you busy, however the auto mode is a solid option. 10.1 MP Panasonic Lumix TZ-7 is a strong contender and will be here for a while. Serious consideration @ £280.
- Panasonic Lumix DMC-FS15
Similar to the TZ-7, this 12 megapixel offering boasts a smaller, slicker frame – making it extremely portable. Picture quality, again is stunning – something we have come to expect from the Panasonics. There have been some complaints about small buttons, generally OK unless you have large fingers. The lack of HD is also worth noting. Not a bad deal for £149.95
The first thing you’ll notice about this camera, its good looks. Undoubtedly the sexiest camera we’ve seen this year – and not too bad inside. Tiny dimensions and rounded corners allow it to slip into the picket. Couple this with good picture quality, quick responsiveness and ease-of-use, you can see why this has been selling well. Available in silver, red, black and gold. There is no wide-angle lens, and in tests the body has scratched and marked easily.
Sony Cybershot t900
Another attractive camera here, excellent build quality and a nice polished finish. Feels durable, typical of Sony. Can record high quality HD videos, although maybe you’d expect more at such a highly priced camera. The T900 is by far the most expensive out of these cameras, and some users have reported less than amazing image quality. Opinion seems to be mixed about the sliding method of opening, decide for yourself! Expensive, but still a top notch 12 mp digital camera.
- Samsung ES15
The ES15 represents the budget choice in our shortlist. This 10 mp digital camera represents a great bargain at only £68.96. Plenty of options, great quality pictures and an attractive design make it a worthwhile consideration. It’s easy to use and ideal for a beginner. Definitely worth a shout!
