Canon PowerShot SX1 IS
Review The SX1 IS is Canon's HD-video sibling to the superzoom PowerShot SX10 IS which we reviewed a few months ago. The two share the same body and button configuration for the most part, but inside things are definitely different. At the heart of the SX1 is a CMOS sensor, something which is normally...Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W150
Review With its attractive specifications and fun feature set wrapped up in attractive black, red, silver, or gold brushed-metal body, the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W150 looks good on paper. However, the shooter fails to live up to its potential, mostly because of its middling photo quality. Editors'...Nikon Coolpix S1000pj
Review These days, it's hard to distinguish one point-and-shoot from another. Most of them tout similar features such as intelligent automatic shooting mode and sensor-shift/optical image stabilizer. So when Nikon announced the 12-megapixel Coolpix S1000pj, it was a breath of fresh air to the imaging...Yashica EZ F521 is not a digital Holga, but it's close - Nov 17, 2009
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 ... Read story »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...Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX1 and WX1 on the way - Jul 6, 2009
Crave It's mid-2009, and that means it's time for the brands to refresh their point-and-shoot lineup. From past experience, manufacturers usually announce their new digicams from mid-July to early August, but ... Read story »Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ35
Review The Panasonic FZ series is the company's superzoom lineup and, from the looks of its design and specifications, this shooter is targeted at enthusiasts and slightly more advanced users. The upgrades are pretty incremental compared to its predecessor, the FZ28, but we have to admit the FZ35 is a...COMEX 2009: Digicams - Sep 9, 2009

Review The Panasonic PT-AX200 replaces the PT-AX100 projector we reviewed just over a year ago. The new model keeps the excellent picture quality and ease of use of its predecessor that impressed us, and drops the price S$400. It also adds another HDMI port and a gaming mode but doesn't improve on the...Fujifilm FinePix J100
Review The 10-megapixel Fujifilm FinePix J100 is described by the Japanese company as the "perfect family camera". That sort of description could mean one of two things: That it's a simple point-and-shoot, or it's a hideously under-specced snapper that's so short of features it borders on the patronizing...Jump to page: 1 2 3 [4] 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 [Next 15]
