Ultra-Slim Credit-Card Dimensions
With a sleek metallic case and ultra-compact design, the DSC-T10 fits anywhere, travels with ease, and captures spectacular color images in a style all its own-so you can always have great little Sony Cyber-Shot® camera on hand to preserve your memories.

7.2 MP Super HAD™ CCD
Another step up in megapixel performance gives you greater detail for making large prints or cropping in tightly on your subject. With Sony's advanced Super HAD (Hole Accumulated Diode) CCD design, more light passes to each pixel for increased sensitivity and reduced noise.

Super SteadyShot® Optical Image Stabilization
The Sony Super SteadyShot® system detects camera movement and sends correcting signals to a stabilization lens to prevent image blur and reduce the effect of camera shake-an advantage when shooting with such a small camera.

Higher Sensitivity
Because flash can sometimes change the mood, the DSC-T10 provides high sensitivity (ISO 1000) for excellent low-light shots at higher shutter speed and for capturing images in museums or religious sites where flash may not be permitted. Sony's Clear RAW™ Noise Reduction system counters the picture noise traditionally associated with high ISO.

Supplied software makes it easier to upload, organize and search photos on your PC-and provides a convenient map view function to sort photos by location and display their origin on a world map by using an optional GPS unit.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX2

Panasonic could have impressed us just by fixing the faults we found in last year's compact Lumix DMC-LX1. But with its new Lumix DMC-LX2 ($500, street), it delivers a whole lot more. A pocketable alternative to a digital SLR, the 10.2MP LX2 packs a gorgeous 2.8-inch LCD screen with a full 16:9 aspect ratio, loads of controls, improved burst rate, true high-definition video recording, a new image processor, and 16MB of built-in memory. It's even available in black in addition to silver. Best of all: its performance on our Certified Lab Tests -- and its "steal-me" price.

Like its 8.4MP predecessor, the LX2 boasts a 4X Leica DC Vario-Elmarit f/2.8-4.9 optical zoom lens, optical image stabilization, and a true 16:9 aspect ratio sensor that can quickly be switched to 3:2 or 4:3 formats. But the earlier version's disappointing digital noise and image quality at ISO 200 and above, along with an LCD screen that didn't show the entire 16:9 image, dampened our enthusiasm for it.

What a difference this upgrade makes! We ran the LX2 through the Pop Photo Lab, and the results show that Panasonic has made a breakthrough in image quality, thanks to its new Venus Engine III processor and smart noise-reduction technology.

Combined with the excellent resolution from the sensor (which beats most 8MP DSLRs at ISO 100 and 200) and its excellent color accuracy, the LX2 earned an Excellent rating for Image Quality at ISO 100, and Extremely High ratings from ISO 200 up to ISO 800. Its noise levels peak at ISO 200 (Moderately Low) and drop to Low at ISO 400 and ISO 800, rising back to Moderately Low at ISO 1600.

Obviously, noise reduction kicks in at ISO 400 and higher, with a trade-off in resolution -- at ISO 800 the resolution is on par with a 6MP camera, and at ISO 1600, a 5MP. But you get to choose how much resolution to give up by setting NR at High, Standard, or Low. (Our tests were done at Standard.) Want more detail? Dial in less noise reduction. Don't plan to make big prints? Give up some detail, but banish noise with more NR. Frankly, we were impressed by the results at the Standard NR level and can't see a reason why you'd dial in higher NR -- only lower to improve sharpness.

Also, to get the highest color accuracy, we had to turn the default saturation and contrast controls down to their lowest settings (it's easy in the menus).

The flash is a bit weak and limited in range (just over 6 feet) at ISO 100, though it has an extended range at higher ISOs, as well as some useful features. These include a slow-sync mode for low-light shooting (which works well with image stabilization), quick access to flash EV compensation control, and fill-flash capability up to 1/2000 sec shutter speed.
Other gripes: Unusual JPEG compression artifacts at ISO 100 appeared in shadow areas and fine tonalities. They were visible at 100 percent magnification, even when the camera was set to Finest JPEG mode, but were barely there in RAW files converted to TIFF with the powerful Silky-Pix Developer Studio 2.0SE software (supplied). Also, the JPEGs saved in RAW + JPEG mode are highly compressed.

Canon EOS 400D

The Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi offers an unbeatable combination of performance, ease-of-use and value. It has a newly designed 10.1 MP Canon CMOS sensor plus a host of new features including a 2.5-inch LCD monitor, the exclusive EOS Integrated Cleaning System featuring a Self Cleaning Sensor and Canon's Picture Style technology, all in a lightweight, ergonomic body. The Digital Rebel XTi is proof positive that Canon continues to lead the way with their phenomenal digital SLRs.

Canon today took the wraps off their new entry-level digital SLR, the Digital Rebel XTi (North America) / EOS-400D (elsewhere). Unfortunately I don't have many details yet, since Canon apparently doesn't trust websites like this one enough to provide specs, press releases, or product photos in advance. Ironically, it was Canon themselves that leaked the information (again!) that you may have seen floating around the web in the last few days.
Digital Rebel XTi / EOS-400D
• 10.1 effective Megapixel CMOS sensor
• New dust reduction system: 1) ultrasonic waves blast dust off the low pass sensor; 2) low pass filter split into two parts to keep the dust further from the sensor; 3) front of low pass filter now has anti-static charge
• Users can also create a "dust map" (Canon calls it Dust Delete Data) for dust that just won't go away; this information is saved in metadata, and the bundled Digital Photography Professional 2.2 software can remove it from your photos
• 2.5" LCD display (with 230k pixels)
• LCD info display has gone away; shooting info now shown on LCD; when you put your eye to the viewfinder, the screen goes dark automatically
• Now has 9-point autofocus versus 7-point on the Rebel XT
• Improved burst mode compared to Rebel XT: now takes up to 10 RAW or 27 JPEG images (still at 3 fps)
• Inherits the Picture Styles menu and RGB histogram from the EOS-5D and EOS-30D
• Same body design (and colors) as Rebel XT -- very hard to tell them apart; compatible with all Rebel XT accessories, including the battery grip
• Still uses DIGIC II processor and CompactFlash
• USB 2.0 High Speed supported
• Ships mid-September for $799 body only or $899 with the same 18-55 EF-S lens that comes with the Rebel XT

Nikon D80

The Nikon D80 DSLR camera is aimed squarely at the enthusiast user. This new 10 megapixel model replaces the highly rated Nikon D70s and D70 and fits into the lower end of Nikon's DSLR product hierarchy, above the D50 and below the D200 and other professional camera bodies like the D2Xs.

The DSLR market has undergone a radical transformation in 2006. These detachable lens cameras are no longer regarded mainly as a tool for the serious amateur or professional photographer. An increasing number of models are being released that target a much more varied customer base in the constant battle for sales and revenue. Currently Nikon and Canon dominate this product sector, and the release of every new DSLR from either manufacturer is anticipated and then scrutinized in equal measure.

The Nikon D80 is clearly based on the older D70s, but also borrows a lot of features from the more expensive D200, making it an attractive proposition for the aspiring photographer. So does the Nikon D80 meet the demands of the enthusiast photographer that it's aimed at? Read our latest review to discover if the D80 is the DSLR for you.

Nikon D80 : The Nikon D80 has been introduced today. Incorporating Nikon's latest digital and photographic technologies, this high-performance interchangeable-lens SLR camera features automated operation and advanced features, designed to satisfy photographers with the passion to create beautiful photographs and preserve special moments.

The Nikon D80 features a new 10.2 effective megapixel DX Format CCD image sensor, bringing a new level of high resolution and sharp detail to the class whilst also providing plenty of freedom to crop creatively and print enlargements. Nikon's DX Format sensor and Nikon F bayonet lens mount design assure unprecedented compatibility across the comprehensive assortment of AF and DX Nikkor lenses.

Nikon D80 - Image processing engine
One of the key advances developed for the D80 is Nikon's own high-resolution image processing engine. Advantages inherited from Nikon's latest professional digital SLR cameras include color independent analog pre-conditioning and high-precision 12-bit digital image processing algorithms, which combine to produce natural-looking images that benefit from faithful color and tone reproduction. A new dedicated high-performance processing chip greatly accelerates performance on all levels, while also achieving lower power consumption, assuring more pictures per battery charge.
Nikon D80 digital reflex camera - Scenes
Nikon's exclusive 3D Color Matrix Metering II ensures accurate automatic exposure control for ideal exposures, even in the most challenging lighting conditions. Evaluating rightness, color, contrast, selected focus area and camera-to-subject distance, rather than merely measuring or averaging the true content of each scene, input from the system's frame-wide 420-pixel sensor is automatically referenced against an onboard database of over 30,000 scenes from actual photography to calculate final exposure value.
