A compact camera with advanced features, this is what Leica Digilux 3 is. Variety of digital cameras with different features are invented and featured within a small time gap are becoming popular with professional photographers, who always look for the quality of the pictures that will be taken with the help of these cameras. The Digilux 3 is the first purely digital Leica mirror reflex system camera with exchangeable lenses. 10MP resolution, widescreen photo format, image stabilizer, RAW image output and a range of manual options. The Digilux 3 is fitted with a bayonet lens to the Four Thirds standard, the open systems standard for digital mirror reflex cameras. The company’s first integrated digital SLR represents something of a departure as it uses the Four Thirds system rather than Leica’s own reflex lens mount. The camera is bundled with the high performance Leica D Vario-Elmarit 2.8-3.5/14-50mm ASPH exchangeable lens with a focal length range of 28 to 100 millimeters for the small picture system. Leica has also exhibited the Leica V-Lux 1 and the D-Lux. Small and elegant, the LEICA D-LUX 3 is always ready to make your personal view of the world reality. The Leica V-Lux is a digital compact camera that combines high performance optics and outstanding picture quality in a compact camera body. Now comes the D-Lux 3 which is also a compact digital camera with optics of high performance and a comprehensive range of settings. The camera offers 10million pixels. The integral picture stabilizer gives the user additional protection against camera shake.

Olympus Stylus 850 SW features:
# 8 megapixels
# 3x optical zoom
# 2.5 inch LCD
# ISO up to 1600
# Waterproof and shockproof
What really sets this camera apart is its build quality, which allow it to survive treatment that would render other cameras inoperative. It has just about every feature you would want plus you can take it in the shower.The 850 SW is a sleek, well-designed camera that’s easy to carry around, considering it weighs only about 140 g. The entire camera has been designed not just to withstand some hard knocks but moisture too. If you’re into diving you can sink with it up to a depth of 10 feet. The battery/XD card compartment and USB port (proprietary for some odd reason) which also doubles as an AV-out are all comfortably protected by special waterproof seals and gaskets. The main reason this camera is so attractive is its toughness. To make sure your photos are good make sure and stay between ISO 64 and 400, anything above that suffers. One of the weakest aspects of the camera is the color balance which has not seen improvement over earlier models. Inaccurate colors reveal themselves primarily with indoor shots, however, outdoor pictures seemed normal.
