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...

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.

Similar to its predecessor, the result is a generally solid, if not...

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...

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.
