When shooting outdoors, the SD850 captures beautiful images that with good exposure and rich colors. Images are also sharp, however I did notice a bit of edge softness present along the left hand side of the frame. Image noise is average for a consumer model, just remember it will become more noticeable in your photos as you increase the sensitivity. Image quality was what I expected from a Canon model, excellent. … we have loved Canon’s Digital ELPH’s since the debut of the S100 back in 2000. And, the SD850 continues their tradition of stylish and durable cameras that capture great photos with fast performance and loads of appealing features (optical IS, 8-megapixels, 2.5-inch LCD, etc.) With 8-megapixel of resolution, the printing possibilities are almost endless, from tightly cropped 4×6s to huge poster size prints! With and MSRP of US$399 or less, it may seem a but more expensive than many other 8- megapixel modes, however, I feel it offers an outstanding value for such a versatile pocket-rocket.”

The G1 can, on occasion, deliver decent quality shots. As long as there’s nothing too dark or too bright in the scene, exposures look fine. And the automatic white balance works pretty well. However, the camera more often produces photos with soft edges and smeared details; at settings of ISO 400 and above they’re just a big mess for anything but e-mail. Its MPEG-4 movie capture is similarly inconsistent. … Most inexpensive digital cameras fill their basic function: they point, they shoot, they produce photos. From that standpoint, the General Electric G1 succeeds. But any product on our list of top budget cameras–and even some that didn’t make the cut–succeeds far better.”

UncategorizedePhotoZine has a review of the Ricoh Caplio R6 and writes, “There are some great features on the Caplio R6, starting off with the design which is stylish and modern. The zoom is great, really one of the fastest we’ve seen on a compact, and tied in to a 28mm wide angle setting, really gets the camera off to a flying start. … Detail on landscape shots tends to be good but there are certainly real issues with noise being evident right from the off in ISO100 mode and any low-light shot will have have noise regardless of the ISO setting.
