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...

Nikon Coolpix S640

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...

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...

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...

Nikon D300s

Review When a camera has an 18-month product cycle, it's hard to squash some disappointment when its followup has only a few enhancements, despite the fact that it's common to make a major update only with every other generation. When it's a great camera to start with, like the Nikon D300, the ambivalence...

Canon PowerShot A2100 IS

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...

Canon Digital Ixus 95 IS

Review With camera manufacturers throwing an increasing number of features at consumers, it's very easy to skip over simple models such as the Canon Digital Ixus 95 IS. Its specifications are basic and shooting options minimal. Also, its photo quality and performance, while very good for its class, are...

Canon EOS 500D

Review Shutterbugs looking for an entry-level dSLR these days are spoilt for choice. Not only do they have different brands to consider, the shooters are also peppered with high-end features such as HD video-recording features and tilting LCDs. In such a saturated market, camera makers have to distinguish...
