OCZ ZT 650W Power Supply Review

The images are sharp. They have a clarity that jumps out. I could make a NSFW comment on the origin of the term 'suck' but I won't.

Really, what were you up to in the article?

Honestly, I have this REALLLLLLLY OLD Sony camera that I bought in Taiwan yeeeeears ago that I use. I mean... I got it about 10 years ago. Maybe more. I've bought newer POS (point and shoot, not piece of shit) cameras since, but none of them take as good of pictures. So I never use them for reviews.

I'm actually considering a new camera, but I'm scared because I've bought so many that don't take as good of pictures as my old Sony. Like, right now in my Amazon wish list, I have a Canon PowerShot S100 and a Sony DSC-HX100V.

Now, one, of course, would assume the newer, more expensive Sony would take nicer pictures than mine, but does it? And should the Canon take even better pictures? I don't know.

I'm eying a Canon SX40 to replace Mr. Fuji. I'll never use another point and shoot for review work again... the S700 has turned out to be a great camera, and the replacement will have to really be worth it

Canon PowerShot S100 is one of the best point and shoot cameras and you won't be dissapointed. I bought its predecessor, the S95, last year and the quality of photos it shoots is amazing.

Nevertheless I highly prefer my Canon DSLR for the reviews If you are out for a DSLR and don't want to sell your house to buy one then take a look at the EOS600D. Along with a 18-200mm lens is perfect for reviews.

The Sony DLT cams aren't bad either. OK, they need a little more light, but still, they use the same sensor as my Nikon D5100.

I bought a Sony Cybershot DSC-V1 at the end of its run because reviews talked about the excellence of its ability to record subtle detail. It does that, and takes the best pics I have made. But I ended up using a Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX5 because it is more flexible, especially since I can dial in the color balance to match my 6500K fluorescents.

On the gripping hand, your old camera is producing really fabulous shots. And now that I am using 5000K fluorescents, maybe I'll give my Sony another shot.

Thanks.

I've heard that, but then I see all the complaints about getting "lens error". I mean.... How could so many people get a "lens error" and brick their camera?

[crmaris]

hm really don't know, maybe a bad batch but as long as you have warranty then you are covered. If you don't want now to risk it then go for the S95 which surely can be found in a much lower price and is reliable judging from my experience.

Sticking with my Canon S5 IS... For Now.

Had to de-lurk just to post about this...

The smaller Canon cameras have suffered from this for many years. The reason is the incredibly fragile lens mechanism (yes, I have disassembled them) and extensive use of tiny plastic gearing. Even a moderate push on the lens might damage it permanently, and this will NOT be covered by warranty. Also, it is impossible to repair, as the lens/sensor often is an integrated adjusted package and changed as such, and the repair costs are too high anyway.

Unfortunately this is not a bad batch, it is by (bad) design, and the latest camera I junked because of this problem was the Ixus 100 IS which is a pretty recent product.

The point-and-shoot camera to beat this summer will be the Sony RX100.
