Digital Camera Reviews - Sony DSC N2, DSC T100 and Canon EOS
400D
Sony Cyber-shot DSC N2
The Sony DSC N2 is a
stylish digital camera with ten mega pixels and a three times
optical zoom. The feature that sets the DSC N2 apart from just
about all other digital cameras is its large 3" touch LCD
screen. This cuts the number of dials and buttons the camera has
to an absolute minimum, helping to accentuate its looks and
style.
Another feature that adds to the attraction of the camera is the
fact it has a manual exposure mode. This allows you to set the
shutter speed and aperture you shoot at. This model is probably
aimed at the more casual user who still wants the premium
picture quality to boast at cocktail parties. There is some
debate on whether the CPU, or 'brain', of the DSC is any better
than the DSC N1, so that the extra megapixels may not be
processed in a manner that makes the pictures any better. I
would recommend trying one out in the shop before committing
yourself to a purchase. For this and all these cameras I'd also
use a shopping comparison site to get an idea of

Sony DSC-T100
The DSC-T100 fits an amazing combination of high-tech features
into super-slim dimensions. It has high-resolution 8.1 MP
imaging, a powerful 5x optical zoom lens and a huge 3.0" Clear
Photo LCD Plus screen that lets you snap and share photos
easily. This means that it can zoom in closer to distant objects
with better clarity than the majority of the other brands that
fit into a pocket. The optical zoom is the best feature of this
camera, and would be very useful for images at concerts,

impressive holiday snaps. The size makes it very portable and I
would recommend this one over the DSC N2.

Canon EOS 400D
The Canon EOS 400D is the
latest member of Canon's extensive range of SLR digital cameras.
It is now over three years since Canon released their first
entry-level DSLR, the 6 megapixel EOS 300D, which kick-started
the whole budget DSLR boom. An entry-level camera, the new Canon
400D has a hard act to follow as it attempts to build on the
success of the 300D and 350D models. The 400D closely follows
the general design of the 350D, having similar compact
proportions to the older model, but it adds some new features to
try and remain competitive in what has become a rapidly
expanding sector of the photography market. This model is more
for the budget professional, perhaps as a useful backup for the
main shooter. That said, you can always rely on Canon to bring a
functional and competent camera, and the styling of this model
would feel at home in any paparazzi's man-bag.
