The Nikon Coolpix 7600 digital camera has been reviewed at imaging resource.
The results of the review:
“The Nikon Coolpix 7600 would be a good choice for anyone who wants an easy to use camera that delivers good-looking pictures with pleasing color and plenty of resolution. For those willing to delve just slightly deeper than “just pushing the button,” its extensive scene modes and unique framing-assist options greatly extend the camera’s capabilities […]. All in all, a good choice for the point & shoot user looking for an easy to use, compact digicam with a surprising range of capabilities.
[…] Considering its workmanlike performance, strong feature set and relatively few weaknesses, I came close to awarding the Coolpix 7600 Dave’s Picks status.”

A review of the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ30 digital camera has been posted at imaging resource.
Here is part of their conclusion:
“Image quality overall is very good, with excellent resolution and sharpness and bright, saturated but hue-accurate color.
[…] With a full range of exposure control modes, including a full manual setting and no less than 14 preset “Scene” modes, the DMC-FZ30 is an approachable camera for both novices and more experienced users alike.
Bottom line, the Panasonic Lumix FZ30 is a very strong player at the upper end of the all-in-one digital camera field, and represents an excellent bargain for anyone interested in a long zoom range, optical stabilization, high resolution, and responsive performance. We’d like to see less image noise at higher ISOs, but the FZ30 is a virtual shoo-in for a Dave’s Pick.”

A review of the Panasonic Lumix LX1 digital camera has been published at digital-lifestyles.
The conclusion of the review:
“The Lumix LX1 is in many ways the perfect digital compact, offering a feast of features for demanding prosumers with enough automated modes to please the point’n’shoot brigade.
Offering unparalleled handling, […] superb optics, fast handling and RAW capability, the camera is capable of producing astonishingly good results.
The only thing stopping us awarding the LX1 a frothing-at-the-mouth ten out of ten rating is its poor high ISO handling - but if you’re prepared to work within the camera’s limitations, you can expect to be rewarded with a camera capable of the very, very highest results.”

A review of the Kodak EasyShare V570 digital camera has been posted at CNet.
The V570 features two lenses in one camera, which allows you to take ultrawide pictures.

A review of the Sanyo Xacti C6 digital (video) camera is available at Steve’s Digicams.
The review conclusion:
“Like its predecessors, the Sanyo Xacti VPC-C6 is an awesome “hybrid” digicam/tape less video recorder. With the ability to be slipped into almost any size pocket or handbag, this camera’s agile performance and great 6-megapixel images ensures that you will be able to savor those special moments for years to come. We feel the C6 will make a great choice for anyone, whether for the family, business or adventure seeker. With an MSRP of around $599, it’s a bit expensive but, it does offer a great “bang for you buck”, and the ability to be used by both left- and right-handed user adds to its appeal.”
