Review Canon seems to have an "if it ain't broke" attitude when it comes to its PowerShot SX series. The SX120 IS is the latest iteration of the company's 10x pocket megazoom and it is nearly identical to its predecessors, the SX110 IS and SX100 IS. The 10-megapixel SX120 IS uses Canon's Digic 4 image...
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...
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...
Review Featuring a flat front panel and a boxy countenance, the Nikon Coolpix S640 doesn't scream anything in particular when you take it out of the box. There are no dangerous curves, no odd protrusions or quirky exterior additions. It's a lightweight, pocket-sized camera that houses a 5x optical zoom...

Review Olympus may be leading in the superzoom wars with its 26x optical zoom SP-590UZ, but it takes a lot more than a long lens to make a decent long-zoom camera. We're talking the same things it takes to make a good digital camera, like speedy performance, a competitive, useful feature set, and good...
Crave The tiny Digital Harinezumi.
Previously, we reported on Japanese vendor Superheadz's first digicam, the Digital Harinezumi. This quirky camera promised to deliver Lomo-esque pictures with a soft, out-of-focus feel. To ...

Crave The Nikon Coolpix L100.
It seems Nikon has realized the Coolpix L100's lack of support for rechargeable NiMH batteries wasn't the greenest move (or maybe it was a secret plan ...

Review These days, it's hard to distinguish one point-and-shoot from another. Most of them tout similar features such as intelligent automatic shooting mode and sensor-shift/optical image stabilizer. So when Nikon announced the 12-megapixel Coolpix S1000pj, it was a breath of fresh air to the imaging...
Review When Samsung introduced the NV24HD last year, the shooter's 24mm lens blew us away. We predicted then that the ultra-wide-angle trend would be a hit with consumers, and we were right--Panasonic's Lumix DMC-LX3 proved to be a success and the Korean cheabol is riding on this wave with its new WB500....
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...
Review Let's be honest. A 3x or 4x optical zoom is not much help. Yes, it gets you a little closer if there's a fence or restraining order in the way, but you'll always want more. That's why stepping up to a 5x or 6x zoom such as the one on the Canon PowerShot A2100 IS makes a noticeable difference. Add...
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...
