Canon PowerShot SD900
Review:
Canon's PowerShot SD900 squeezes 10-megapixel resolution and a 3X optical zoom into a curvy, titanium body. This champagne-colored digicam looks stylish and feels solid. At 6.7 ounces and 1.1 inches thick, it easily fit into our pocket. Our only complaint about the appearance is how easily the SD900 smudges. After only a few minutes of handling, the camera was loaded with fingerprints. The...

Olympus Stylus 780
Review:
You'll have a hard time taking a bad photo with the Olympus Stylus 780. This compact digicam features a helpful Guide mode and a smattering of manual controls to ensure users of all skill levels get the shot they want the first time. We loved the Bright Capture LCD and new Shadow Adjustment Technology (courtesy of Olympus' new image processor). For $349, we'd like to see an xD card in the box...

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ18
Review: If you can't decide whether you want a digital camera that shoots wide landscapes or zoomed-in close-ups, Panasonic's new Lumix DMC-FZ18 offers a stratospheric focal range that should help you cover all the angles. With a Leica-branded, 18X optical zoom lens, the FZ18 boasts the equivalent of a 28mm to 504mm range on a 35mm film camera, letting you go wide or go long with just a toggle of the... (Continue)
DXG-110
Review:
Although a high megapixel count isn't necessary for taking good pictures, the DXG-110's combination of 10 megapixels and low $169 price will be tempting for many buyers. But like any budget camera, the DXG-110 comes with trade-offs: a great price and decent photos in exchange for no image stabilization and poor low-light performance.DXG-110 DesignWe like the DXG-110's compact size, it's just an...

Nikon D300
Review:
Aspiring photographers looking to make the jump from an entry-level digital SLR to something more professional have a lot of good options these days. But the best camera we've seen so far in the so-called 'semi-pro' DSLR category also happens to be the most expensive: the 12.3-megapixel Nikon D300, which retails for $1,799-and that doesn't even include a lens. Though your wallet might not...

Olympus Stylus 1030 SW
Review:
For travelers who don't want to handle their digicam with kid gloves, Olympus offers the 10.1-megapixel Stylus 1030 SW, a waterproof, freeze-proof, crush-proof, and dust-proof camera that promises to be the 'toughest point-and-shoot in the world.' With its durable build, rich selection of scene modes, and speedy performance, this camera has almost everything an active photographer could want....

Casio Exilim Card EX-S10
Review:
In the world of Casio cameras, thin is always in, and the new Exilim Card EX-S10 is so slender it could give runway models a run for their money. Just 0.54 inches thick at its thinnest part, the EX-S10 is the best-designed camera we've tested for squeezing into the pocket of a tight pair of jeans. On paper, it has some good features, including a 10.1-megapixel image sensor, 3X optical zoom, and...

Nikon Coolpix S600
Review:
Editor's Note appended.According to Nikon, the Coolpix S600 features 'the world's smallest body and fastest start-up time.' What really matters though, is how it takes pictures, which the 10-megapixel Nikon Coolpix S600 does well. Add in a versatile 4X (28-112mm) zoom lens, a nice 2.7-inch LCD, image stabilization, and a handy scroll wheel, and you have one of the best sub-$300 cameras money...

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX35
Review:
Panasonic has been a pioneer in putting very wide lenses into its compact cameras and has once again raised the bar with the Lumix DMC-FX35. Sporting a 4X optical zoom lens with a 35mm equivalency of 25-100mm, the FX35 is designed for people who love to take wide landscape photos but don't want to spend a lot of money on their cameras. And while the 10.1-megapixel FX35 achieves that and more,...

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T300
Review:
At first glance, the Sony Cyber-shot T300 seems to have a lot going for it: a snazzy-looking 3.5-inch touchscreen, a 10.1-megapixel sensor, and Sony's new iSCN mode, which automatically selects from five scene modes depending on the shooting conditions. Slim enough to fit in your back pocket and stylish enough to wear around your wrist at a club, this latest flagship model in Sony's popular...
