The Fujifilm FinePix A850 features an 8 Megapixel CCD sensor and ISO 800 sensitivity at full resolution. Furthermore, the Fuji FinePix A850 incorporates Image Intelligence processing combined with a 3x Fujinon optical zoom lens to deliver images of unrivalled quality. The Fujifilm FinePix A850 will be available from retailers from July. Pricing will be announced nearer to the date of the launch.
The FinePix A850 does not disappoint in any respect. It has the feel of a high-end camera, with a sculpted grip and metallic finish, and mimics models sold for more than twice the price. Fujifilm has designed three key features into this model: excellent image quality, simple operation and amazingly good looks. The FinePix A850 is likely to be the hit camera for this summer’s key selling season.
In addition to this, the Fujifilm FinePix A850 offers handy features such as selectable scene modes and movie recording with sound, for versatility and ease of use. An intuitive, icon-based Graphical User Interface (GUI) and simple button layout make it easy for users to navigate through menus and switch between shooting modes and scene positions.

At the first glance of the spec sheet for the Olympus Stylus 1030 SW, it looks like your typical compact point and shoot – 10.1 megapixel sensor, 2.7 inch LCD, 3.6x optical zoom lens.
But dig a little deeper and you’ll find that this “SW” model is shockproof (6.6 foot drop), waterproof to 33 feet, cold-proof (to 14 degrees Fahrenheit) and crushproof (up to 220 pounds). Here is also a built-in manometer which can record air or water pressure and attach that data to your images as altitude or depth. An LED illuminator next to the flash can be used for illuminating close-up shots, or other shots in which you can’t (or don’t want to) use a flash.
There are plenty of “soft” features as well. The 1030 SW is capable of face detection as one of the focus modes. A Panorama mode will stitch together images in-camera, if you choose, making wide panorama shots (though the results weren’t as seamless as those from some other digicams we’ve tested).
Key Features:
-
Sensor 10.1 megapixels, 1/2.33″ CCD
-
Sensitivity ISO 80-1600
-
Shutter Speed 4-1/1000 seconds
-

The DSC-W150 is a compact camera (though not as thin as, say, Sony’s T-series models), made almost entirely of metal. The front panel has a brushed metal appearance, which looks pretty nice. The W150 feels pretty well put together, save for the usual weak spot: the door over the memory card/battery compartment.
The camera can be used with one hand without much trouble. Your thumb sits right on the mode dial, so you have to be careful not to accidentally turn it. The W150’s buttons are on the small side, as the 2.7″ takes up most of the real estate on the back of the camera. It’s almost a requirement for a compact camera to come in multiple colors, and Sony certainly didn’t disappoint in that area. The W150 comes in silver, red, black, and gold.
This 8.1 megapixel Cyber-shot® digital camera features an Intelligent Scene mode which automatically selects the right settings for your environment. Smile Shutter technology is also included, letting you instantly capture smiles the moment they happen. A 2.7″ LCD, Carl Zeiss® 5x optical zoom lens and Sony’s Double Anti-Blur solution are also there for crisp, clear images and tight zooms. All this combined with an attractive body make the W150 an excellent choice for capturing the moment no matter where you are.

Key features:
-
Carl Zeiss® Vario-Tessar® lens
-
5X optical zoom (2X digital/10X total zoom)
