Fujifilm FinePix S1500

Review Occasionally, a camera that is good becomes better when a low price is part of the overall package. Unfortunately that is not the case with the 10-megapixel Fujifilm FinePix S1500 which is merely a good megazoom compact, despite a street price of less than US$200. It does have a large feature set...

Nikon Coolpix S570

Review The Nikon Coolpix S570 is a solid camera which looks simple and stylish. The shooter's 28mm wide-angle lens and 5x optical zoom help it stand out from the competition, besides a consistently good photo quality below ISO 400. A new specialty mode for portraits and its pedestrian shooting performance...

Pentax X70

Review As first efforts go, the Pentax X70 superzoom camera is strong, though it succumbs to problems seen throughout the category--namely slow performance and a noticeable decline in photo quality above ISO 200. The camera's 26mm-equivalent wide-angle lens with 24x optical zoom is certainly very flexible...

Samsung ST550

Review Unlike in the past when camera manufacturers tried to outplay one another by introducing higher-resolution sensors or more powerful zoom lenses, these days it takes more than that to stand out from the competition. This is probably why some of the latest compacts show off interesting features, such...

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-WX1

Review Good low-light shooting without help from a flash is a rarely attained goal in the world of compact cameras. The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-WX1 does it with three of the company's own components: A new sensor design, a high-end lens, and a fast image processor. The combination pays off for low-light...

Nikon Coolpix S70

Review The Nikon Coolpix S70 is an impressive leap forward in design and functionality from its predecessor, the S60. That camera, while it has an excellent design, sports a touchscreen LCD that we found occasionally frustrating to use. That's not great considering operating the shooter was nearly all...

Sony Alpha DSLR-A850

Review Full-frame dSLRs have always been sought after by advanced shutterbugs and professional photographers for their better image quality, but such shooters are usually tagged with a premium price. Last year, Sony dropped the bomb with the full-frame Alpha DSLR-A900, the world's highest-resolution dSLR...

Canon Digital Ixus 120 IS

Review A followup of sorts to the Ixus 100 IS, the Canon Digital Ixus 120 IS is another very small, very lightweight 12-megapixel camera. It drops its predecessor's optical viewfinder and in place gets a larger 2.7-inch LCD and 28mm-equivalent lens with a 4x optical zoom. Aside from a couple of minor...

Sony Alpha DSLR-A230

Review A modest update over its predecessor, the Sony Alpha DSLR-A200, the Alpha DSLR-A230 offers the same essential feature set in a redesigned body with sufficient quality and performance-enhancing firmware tweaks to merit the upgrade. Similar to its predecessor, the result is a generally solid, if not...

Fujifilm FinePix Z33WP

Review The Fujifilm FinePix Z33WP is a pool/beach camera. Only waterproof down to 3m for up to 2 hours consecutively, it's not designed for serious diving photography. However, it is well-suited and priced for a secondary camera for snapshots in dusty, dirty, or damp conditions where you would not want to...
