Photo of the Day: Win a Canon PIXMA Pro9000 Mk II
Latest Digital Camera Reviews / Previews
Once in a while, a camera comes along with a genuinely different approach to its rivals. Some go on to fundamentally change the market; others aren't quite so successful. Either way, we welcome out-of-the-box designs like the PowerShot G1 X, the first Canon large-sensor compact. The G1 X retains a worthwhile size advantage over mirrorless models, and boasts a night-and-day image quality advantage over small-sensor cameras, but there are a a few rough edges. Will they outweigh its advantages? To find out, read our Canon G1 X review!Res: 14.3mp

The Canon SX150 shows just how much capability you can get in an inexpensive digital camera these days. It's not without its limitations, but for the price is quite a bargain. (Especially if you can pick it up for the $149 price we've seen here and there around the web.) Read our Canon SX150 IS review for all the details!Res: 14.1mp

Yes, we've been looking at cell phones again, this time the updated Apple iPhone 4S. Upgraded from the 5-megapixel sensor in the previous model we reviewed, the iPhone 4S now sports an 8-megapixel BSI CMOS chip, and gets a little help from a faster processor and the new iOS 5.1. Click here to see what we thought of the new iPhone 4S's camera, and how well it fared in our tests.Res: 8.0mp

The Pentax Q polarizes opinion like no other digital camera. Some love its incredibly compact design: among system cameras, the Q's in a class of its own. Others decry its smaller-than-average image sensor, and the limitations that brings. Both camps have a point: while the Pentax Q fulfils on the portability promise of mirrorless like no other, Pentax definitely had to make some significant sacrifices to achieve a body this small. The question we faced in reviewing the Pentax Q: are the tradeoffs worthwhile, or has Pentax taken a step too far? Read our Pentax Q review, and find out!Res: 12.4mp

Fujifilm hit the nail on the head with a digital camera nearly solid enough to drive a nail, and image quality that's tack-sharp deep into the high-ISO range. We appreciated its tight build, smart control layout, and no-nonsense feature set. We wish we could trust the gorgeous hybrid optical viewfinder a bit more, but at least it errs on the side of including more rather than cutting out essential elements.

Canon PowerShot G1 X review posted!
May 19, 18:28 EDT
Every once in a while, a camera comes along that offers a genuinely different approach to its rivals. Some--like the first mirrorless models--go on to fundamentally change the market. Others aren't quite so successful. Either way, we welcome designs that think outside the box. The Canon PowerShot G1 X is the first large-sensor compact with a zoom lens. Its announcement last Spring prompted much...

Canon SX150 review posted!
May 18, 20:31 EDT
Having spent a little time with it, we're impressed with how much capability the engineers managed to pack into the Canon SX150, at such an affordable price. As you'd expect given the bargain-basement ~$179 street, it's not without its limitations, but considering what you get, it's pretty amazing: A capable, well-built 14-megapixel digital camera with an optically stabilized 12x zoom lens and...

May 18, 13:43 EDT

Antonio De Rosa is an Italian designer who is clearly looking to find one of those leaky rich guys to stand as close to as possible.

Geotagging, without the privacy issues: Canon offers a solution
May 18, 13:42 EDT
Geolocation can be great for keeping track of where you've been, and what photos you've shot on your travels, but it also has a dark side. Location-aware cameras are increasingly common, especially in smartphones. If you don't know that your specific device is capable of geotagging (or perhaps, incorrectly believe that the function is disabled), that can lead to you giving out much more...

May 17, 17:49 EDT

Optrix creator John Willenborg says he got the idea for the product when he couldn't find a decent, protective solution to shoot point-of-view videos with his...

May 17, 13:57 EDT
