Bursting on the scene as the first ELPH to offer a touchscreen LCD, the Canon PowerShot SD980 also offers a 5x zoom range extending from 24-120mm equivalent, a 12.1-megapixel CCD image sensor, super intelligent automatic features, and a very small, pocketable body. The Canon SD980's Smart Auto mode does a good job of assessing common-yet-tricky exposure situations and choosing the best preset mode, and the capable Face, Blink and Motion Detection technologies ensure great portraits. And the Canon SD980's widescreen 3.0-inch PureColor LCD monitor is bright and accurate. Click here to read our Express Review of the Canon PowerShot SD980 digital camera!

Featuring a 5x zoom range extending from 37-185mm equivalent, a 12.1-megapixel CCD image sensor, super intelligent automatic features and a very small, pocketable body, the Canon PowerShot SD970 is yet another great offering in the highly lauded ELPH line. The Canon SD970's Smart Auto mode does a good job of assessing common, yet tricky exposure situations and choosing the best preset mode, and the capable Face, Blink, and Motion Detection technologies ensure great portraits. A bright 3.0-inch PureColor LCD monitor makes framing images with the Canon SD970 easy and beautiful, even in bright conditions.

Looking for a good quality, simple long zoom digital camera for the holidays? Packing a lot for just a little money, the Canon SX120 gives you a relatively fast 10x zoom in a simple, well-designed camera. The Canon SX120's image quality competes favorably with larger long-zoom cameras, and its DIGIC 4 processor and 10-megapixel sensor makes improvements on its predecessor's 9-megapixel design. A large 3-inch LCD shows your images clearly, and the Canon SX120 gives you a wide range of exposure controls, from full Auto to full Manual, and all modes in-between. Great for travel, the Canon SX120 IS uses AA batteries, ensuring a ready power supply wherever you go. Click here to read about the Canon SX120, a great all-around digicam.

image of the Canon PowerShot S90 digital camera PowerShot S90
Taking a step back is sometimes a greater mark of courage than charging ahead blindly, and that's just what the Canon S90 has done, packing a 10-megapixel sensor into a world of 12-megapixel cameras for better image quality in low light. The Canon S90's lens is also a full stop faster than the usual point & shoot camera, rated at f/2.0 at wide-angle, another step toward greater light sensitivity. Printed results are impressive across the ISO range, so the Canon S90 has achieved its main goal, but there were key user interface problems that gave us pause. Click here for the Canon PowerShot S90 review.

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.
