[REVIEW:] Leica X1 Field Review APS-C Sized Sensor / Pocket Sized Camera = Luminous Landscape

Take the 12.2 Megapixel Sony-fabricated sensor that’s likely the same one found in the Nikon D300, put it in a pocket-sized Leica-designed body with a Leica 24mm f/2.8 Elmarit lens, have someone else build it but complete the assembly and testing in Solms, Germany, and what do you have? The Leica X1, if course.   — Luminous Landscape

[REVIEW:] CANON POWERSHOT G11 – dpexpert

This10 megapixel camera is Canon’s top compact. The fast 28–140mm lens is image stabilised. The optical viewfinder is large, bright and has dioptre adjustment. The 7cm LCD swivels. There is inbuilt flash and an external hot shoe. Image formats are jpeg and RAW. Construction is excellent and ergonomics are unique and superb. The large knobs on the body top for exposure mode and compensation and for ISO setting are wonderful. It is, of course, the same as the superseded G10 on the outside, with all that camera’s virtues and with its one vice corrected. (See below)   — dpexpert

Nikon Coolpix S70 Review – Brad Soo (DP Interface)

The Coolpix S70 is yet another interesting model in Nikon’s fall 09 lineup: it’s their third touchscreen camera and Nikon’s first multi-touch model. The Nikon Coolpix S70 has the usual features you’d come to expect from an ultra-thin compact camera: 12 megapixels, a 5X optical zoom lens, a 3.5 inch touchscreen (that supports multi-touch and gestures), automatic operation and plenty of playback editing tools.

The holiday season of 2009 is approaching fast… with plenty of stylish cameras out there and an increasing number of manufacturers making one touchscreen camera or another, the Nikon Coolpix S70 has its work cut out for it. How does the camera stack up against the rest? Let’s find out now!  — Brad Soo
