- Canon PowerShot S90
- The Canon PowerShot S90 is designed for photography enthusiasts and it carries a hefty price tag to prove it. It also has some of the best controls you'll find on a compact camera for manual and semimanual shooting modes. Its lens and photo quality are top notch, too. Actually, about...

- Canon PowerShot D10
- The PowerShot D10 comes across as one of the company's Digital Elphs in a fat suit--albeit a very protective one. Unfortunately, it's a suit you can't take off at the end of the day as you would with one of Canon's waterproof housings. But again, the extra layer keeps it...

- Olympus E-P1 (silver, body only)
- Olympus E-P1 (silver, body only)Converted fan of the E-P1I've shot film Leicas and Olympus OMs for the past 30 years, and bought the E-P1 because I could use all of my old lenses. My main apprehension, though, was the lack of a viewfinder. In the end, I need...

- Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH1
- Photo gallery:Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH1More than any other camera I've reviewed lately, my opinion formation about the Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH1 inevitably comes back to price. It's fast, but not as fast as other cameras that cost a lot less. It has great photo quality, but its high ISO sensitivity photos don't...

- Canon PowerShot SD970 IS (silver and gold)
- A 5x zoom lens and a 12-megapixel resolution isn't much to get excited about these days. Jam them into a somewhat unattractive compact body and they become even less of a reason to drop nearly $400 on a point-and-shoot camera. That's what's wrong with the Canon PowerShot SD970 IS. It...

- Nikon D3 (body only)
- Photos:Nikon D3For years, Nikon users had been asking their favored camera maker for a dSLR with a full-frame sensor (the same size as a 35mm frame of film). Finally, Nikon caved, delivering the 12-megapixel D3; the result is a camera that reaches new heights in imaging with extremely low noise...

- Canon PowerShot SD950 IS
- Sometimes, when we find ourselves running full speed forward toward what we think is the pinnacle of achievement, we suddenly realize that we've flown closer to the sun than our wings can stand. In the current state of market-driven capitalism, we do this constantly, but luckily, our high-flying, boundary-pushing experiments...

- (Photos: Compact digicams for the SLR set)A couple of pointsFirst, there is a BIG difference between true optical stabilization (moving lens groups, etc.) and so-called "digital stabilization" which just boosts the ISO to hopefully gain a higher shutter speed.I think "digital stabilization" was dreamed up by the same crowd that...

- Nikon D2Xs
- Nikon likes incremental upgrades. Just as the company issued the D70s before moving from the D70 to the D80, they made a handful of upgrades to the 12.4-megapixel D2X to create the D2Xs. In addition to improving the LCD viewing angle and tweaking the autofocus performance, the battery life, and...

- Photo gallery:Nikon D40In many ways, you might consider Nikon's D40 the Zelig of digital cameras. Is it a digital SLR with the spirit of a point-and-shoot? Is it a point-and-shoot with the power of a dSLR? It depends upon who's doing the shooting. While the D40 will never morph into...

- Canon's 4-megapixel PowerShot A430 is a bit of an oddity these days. New 4-megapixel cameras have all but gone the way of vinyl records and slide projectors.
