Fringes of color at the edges of objects in a photograph due to the inability of the camera lens to deal with all wavelengths of light equally. High-quality lenses that use multiple elements generally diminish chromatic aberration. See purple fringing and lens flare.

- Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H7
- Sony changed quite a few details, inside and out, between last year's H5 and this year's megazooms, the Cyber-shot DSC-H9 and DSC-H7. An f/2.7-4.5 31mm-465mm 15x supersedes the 12x zoom on last year's, and the resolution kicks up a notch from 7 to 8 megapixels. Say goodbye to AA batteries...

- Kodak EasyShare C743
- Budget cameras are a dime a dozen these days, and without high-quality photos or unique capabilities, it's easy for these sub-$200 shooters to fall between the cracks. Of course, without a major flaw it's hard for a sub-$200 camera to really screw up, either. The Kodak EasyShare C743 is one...

- One of the few constants of digital cameras and most consumer electronics is that substance should always be more important than style. Style can be a great boon, but it can't be the only aspect of a camera. Olympus' 7-megapixel Stylus 730 doesn't quite get that message. The Stylus 730's...
