Latest Digital Camera Reviews

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.

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.

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.

Canon
image of the Canon PowerShot SD1200 IS digital camera PowerShot SD1200 IS
If ease of use, great quality, and pocketability are what you're looking for in a digital camera, the Canon SD1200 offers up all three at a low price. Optical Image Stabilization, advanced Face Detection, and a Smart Auto mode take away most of the work of taking pictures. And, the beauty of it is, you can trust the PowerShot SD1200 to do a great job in most situations, and serve up excellent prints at home or at the photo lab. Click here for more on the Canon SD1200.

Nikon
image of the Nikon D3000 digital camera D3000
The Nikon D3000 is the replacement for the Nikon D40 and D60 digital SLR cameras, inheriting some features from each, including a 10-megapixel sensor, a simplified control interface, and a small body. The Nikon D3000 kit includes a Vibration Reduction zoom lens in place of the older ED lens that shipped with the D40. The D3000's special Guide mode is designed to make shooting in special circumstances a little easier for novices, and the Nikon D3000 includes an 11-point AF system for better coverage of the image area. Small and affordable, the Nikon D3000 takes up the mantle of one of Nikon's best selling digital SLR cameras, but does the mantle fit? Click here for our full review of the Nikon D3000 digital SLR.
