Our opinion of the Pink ES55

Small enough to fit in your pocket, cheap enough not to break the bank and astounding results to boot. We could leave our pink ES55 review at that and have said nearly everything there is to say. We won’t though, we’ll go on to mention the almost endless features that Samsung have packed into the ES55, such as the multi-face detection system (that can detect up to 11 faces in the shot) to ensure the optimum settings and focus are automatically selected. It even warns you if someone in the photo has blinked just at the wrong moment so that you can take another shot.

The li-on battery is, in our view, a much better option that AA batteries – after charging the battery seems to last for hundreds of shots before it needs topping up. The downside is only if you should go on holiday and forget to take the charger with you it is not as easy as popping to the nearest shop to buy batteries. As long as you don’t forget, you’ll never have a problem (Tip – keep your charger in the same drawer as you passport and you’re safe!)

Finally, we found our pink Samsung ES55 very simple to use and would be more than happy to take it with us for everyday use.

Our opinion of the Pink FS7

All in all we were very impressed by the FS7. The test shots we did all came out great with perfect colours and very fine levels of detail. Video was good, although the sound quality was not comparible to an expensive digital video camera (which didn’t really surprise us either). To view the results, we were able to connect the camera directly to our PC or even directly to the widescreen TV and show a slideshow. Very quick to do, and less hassle than taking the SD card in and out (for impatient people like us anyway!)

The battery life was great and with the 8GB SDHC card we would have been able to fit more than 1500 photos on it

Generally the build quality of the pink Panasonic Lumix DMC-FS7 feels very good and we were generally impressed with the digitl camera

sony_cybershot_s930_pink_digital_camera The Cybershot S930 is a great little pink camera from Sony, at a really great price. It’s extremely easy for the entire family to use, with minimal buttons to set the options and a 2.4″ screen which makes it really easy to see what you are doing.
The S930 runs of off AA batteries, a set of single use ones are supplies, but we recommend to get a set of NiMH rechargables so that you don’t need to spend lots of extra money on those. Also, you’ll need a Memory Stick although there is a small amount of flash memory built-in, so at least you’ll be able to get started.10 Megapixels

    Pink Canon IXUS 95 IS

    March 7th, 2009

    Continuing in the tradition of Canon Ixus cameras leading the way in style, the IXUS 95 IS pink digital camera also has Smart Auto Mode, utilising Scene Detection which identifies the best settings required.

    With its compact design, the pink IXUS 95 easily fits into your pocket or purse, so you really can take it everywhere with you.

    The 10 mega-pixel resolution means that prints can be enlarged easily up to A3 size. The only possible negative we can think of is the optical zoom – only 3x, but this is maybe only a small price to pay for it being to small.
