Our friends at the Digital Camera Resource Page tackle another head-to-head(-to-head?) review...
He's a brave man, that Jeff Keller. Back in April 2000 he posted a direct comparison of Olympus and Nikon's then-top models, the Camedia C-3030Z and Coolpix 990. This was his second such comparison review, having done much the same thing with the Camedia C-2000Z and Coolpix 950 a year earlier. As he learned back then, the comparisons can provoke a lot of interest in prospective buyers, but equally can result in a flood of irate emails from those who've purchased the runner-up cameras.
After a year's hiatus, Jeff's back to the comparisons again (we hope his email-box is up to the task!) - but this time he's taking it a step further by comparing three cameras; the Canon PowerShot S330 Digital ELPH, Minolta DiMAGE X and Nikon Coolpix 2500. We won't spoil the anticipation by mentioning the winner here, but if you hop on over to the Digital Camera Resource Page you'll find a direct comparison of all three cameras in the following areas: - What's in the Box
- Look and Feel
- Taking Pictures
- Menus / Features
- Viewing Pictures
- Software
- Movie Mode
- Macro Mode
- Night Photos
- Flash Tests
- Image Quality
Phew! As if that's not enough, you'll also find sample galleries for all three cameras, and in many cases comparison images with Canon's EOS D60 SLR digital camera to boot. Check it out!
