Latest Digital Camera Reviews

Nikon
image of the Nikon Coolpix P90 digital camera Coolpix P90
Long zoom cameras don't get much longer than the Nikon P90's 24x optical zoom lens; and it's a versatile zoom that starts at an impressive 26mm and zooms to an eye-popping 624mm equivalent. Sensor-based vibration reduction keeps the image stable, and the Nikon P90's 12-megapixel sensor delivers prints up to 11x14 inches. The Nikon P90's 3-inch tilting LCD allows easier capture when shooting low or from overhead, and a special Sports Continuous mode allows for reduced resolution capture at up to 15 frames per second. The Nikon P90 is an attractive and enjoyable digital camera to use, but does the image quality measure up? Read our review of the Nikon Coolpix P90 to find out.

Canon
image of the Canon PowerShot G11 digital camera PowerShot G11
Improving on a classic camera like the Canon G10 requires one thing: listening to your most ardent supporters. Canon did just that when designing the Canon G11 camera, and as a result they added back the articulating LCD that was once a standard G-series feature. They also took a bold step and reduced the resolution from 14-megapixels to 10, all in an effort to make the Canon G11 a better low-light camera rather than an unnecessarily high-resolution design that struggled to strike a balance between noise and its suppression. Did they succeed? Click here to read our Canon PowerShot G11 Review.

Sony
image of the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H20 digital camera Cyber-shot DSC-H20
Unusually small and light, the Sony H20 packs a 10x zoom into an almost shirt-pocketable design that's fun to use and takes great shots too. Its 10-megapixel sensor impresses with good image quality, and the Sony H20's autofocus speed rivals some digital SLRs. Though it doesn't have the widest wide-angle lens, the Sony Cyber-shot H20 ranges from 38 to 380mm, a very long telephoto for such a small camera, and its corner sharpness is pretty remarkable. Clearly we were impressed by the Sony H20's capabilities, and pleased to see that it has a 720p HD movie mode to boot. Click here for our Express Review of the Sony H20 digital camera.

Panasonic
image of the Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS1 digital camera Lumix DMC-ZS1
Small and inexpensive, the Panasonic ZS1 looks like a simple pocket digicam, but when you turn it on you find a very wide-angle 25mm lens that zooms optically 12 times, out to 300mm equivalent. That makes using the Panasonic ZS1 a pleasant surprise. In terms of optical and sensor quality, the Lumix ZS1 is essentially identical to the very popular and more expensive ZS3, but without a few niceties that you may or may not want. If still photography is your only requirement, the Panasonic ZS1 does better than fine, and offers VGA and WVGA video as well. The Panasonic ZS1's optical image stabilization is rock solid, and images print well up to 16x20-inches without sharpening. Click here for our Express Review of the Panasonic Lumix ZS1.

Nikon
image of the Nikon Coolpix S630 digital camera Coolpix S630
The Nikon Coolpix S630 aims high with 7x optical zoom, a 12 megapixel sensor, an updated processor, and updated image stabilization technology. The Coolpix S630 digital camera also has face, smile, and blink-detection technologies for better automated control while portrait shooting. The Nikon S630 is capable of producing good snapshots under most average shooting conditions, and offers a continuous shooting option that can capture up to 11 fps. The Nikon S630 is attractive and easily portable, and worth a closer look. Click here for our Express Review of the Nikon Coolpix S630.
