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.

Review It's very easy to see the appeal of the 9-megapixel Canon PowerShot SX110 IS--reasonably priced, relatively compact megazoom camera with features for casual and seasoned users alike.

Review The Canon PowerShot G series cameras have always received rave reviews for their high-quality offering. In addition to extensive controls, the image quality from these shooters is top-notch for a compact. However, when the G11 was announced, it raised several eyebrows. Not only does it have a lower...
Review It's been four years since Canon announced the PowerShot S80 for its range of high-end compacts. Only recently the Japanese firm revived this family lineup with the S90 to compete with the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX3 in the advanced point-and-shoot category. This is hardly surprising as the Lumix has...
Review The 10-megapixel Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ28's 18x zoom lens (27-486mm equivalent) may seem modest compared with some of the other megazooms on the market, such as the 26x zoom Olympus SP-590UZ.
