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 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...
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...
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...
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...
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 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...
Crave The Yashica EZ F521 (left) and my Holga.
I have a penchant for toy cameras, and it all started with the Lomo L-CA. I've since sold the Russian shooter, but ...

Review The touchscreen camera industry have primarily been dominated by Sony with its Cyber-shot T series, but other manufacturers such as Panasonic and Nikon have caught up with their own touch-operated shooters in the past two years. For Canon, its foray into touchscreen snappers appears to be late,...
Review The Olympus Mju 7020 succeeds the Mju 7000, which was announced just earlier this year. There are only a few notable upgrades, such as the 28mm wide-angle lens and addition of an HDMI port. There are also Magic Filters which emulate some of the effects found on Olympus' interchangeable lens...
Review Slim cameras have always had one compromise, and that is image quality. Traditionally, these shooters don't usually produce very good pictures, and most shutterbugs attribute that to the periscopic-lens structure. But with digital imaging being more advanced these days, the imaging processor takes...
Review There's no doubt the high-speed photo- and movie-capture features of the Casio Exilim EX-FC100 are remarkable given its size and price. Its features tackle one of the biggest problems with point-and-shoot cameras: Missed shots due to slow performance. Even its regular shooting performance is...
