Trusted Reviews - 07/31/2006 - reviews the entry level 4 megapixel Nikon Coolpix L4 and note that the L4 has no manual control over ISO setting, however the automatic setting doesn’t go above 200 ISO so image noise is generally well controlled. They continue to write - “It’s hard to imagine a better camera at the price. For under £100 you can get a well made, easy to use 3x zoom ultra-compact with good picture quality, a useful range of modes and options, and the prestigious Nikon name. If you’re looking for a gift, a starter camera or something to take on holiday, you won’t find much better.”

Performance PC - 07/31/2006 - has a new review of the 8.1 megapixel Nikon Coolpix P4 and here’s the verdict - “I really had fun with the Continuous shooting mode, however, it takes the camera a while to write the images onto the memory card. This meant waiting 1-2 seconds before you can view the images, make changes to your settings and begin shooting again. I found the LCD screen too large, taking up more than half of the rear of the camera, it was almost impossible to not touch it.”

DP Review - 07/31/2006 - reviews the 10 megapixel Sony Alpha A100 and here is the verdict - “My final rating? For me it’s a fairly comfortable Highly Recommended, the A100 is a very capable camera with a wide feature set, a good range of manual controls and some unique developments. The built-in Super SteadyShot provides you with that little extra comfort level at slower shutter speeds and the ability to use longer lenses with more confidence.”

Ephotozine - 07/31/2006 - has reviewed the 10 megapixel Sony Alpha A100 and they write - “Sony’s first venture into the digital SLR marketplace may bear many hallmarks inherited from their acquisition of Minolta’s photographic assets, but credit is due to Sony for the addition of an excellent 10.2 megapixel sensor that produces images of quality beyond those of the competition. They have also made their mark with a seemingly simple modification of the Super SteadyShot system that should shake dust loose from the sensor each time the camera is switched off. Other aspects of the camera are not so impressive. The D-Range optimiser doesn’t seem to deliver the results that are promised, and the plastic build is disappointing when compared to some competing cameras.”
