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...

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...

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...

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FS15

Review Depending on how you use your photos, you'll either be thrilled or disappointed with the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FS15. For its affordable price, you get a nice-looking compact with plenty of automatic shooting options and a couple of noteworthy features such as the 29mm-equivalent wide-angle lens with...

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FP8

Review Looking at the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FP8 you wouldn't think there's anything special about it. You'd think it's just another point-and-shoot. To some extent that's true, but it actually attempts to address a common complaint plaguing most cameras of that type: Slow performance. The FP8 starts up in...

Canon PowerShot SX120 IS

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...

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...

Canon PowerShot SX20 IS

Review The Canon PowerShot SX10 IS wasn't a great megazoom, but it was one of the better ones. So it's kind of sad to see its replacement, the SX20 IS, take a couple of steps backward, delivering overall poorer performance and photo quality as trade-off for slapping an extra couple of megapixels on the...

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...

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...

Canon EOS 7D

Review Canon basically ceded the midrange, pro-performance dSLR market to Nikon in 2005 with the arrival of the D200. Since then, Canon's 30D, 40D, and 50D have taken the slower but less-expensive road, with a relatively stagnant autofocus (AF) system that Nikon leapfrogged. But with entirely new AF and...

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...
