E-PL1The Olympus PEN E-PL1 retains much of the feature set of its predecessors, the E-P1 and E-P2, but with rather more modern styling. Compared to its siblings, the Olympus PL1 adds one much-requested feature - a built-in popup flash strobe. It also leaves out some functionality to save cost as well, using a slightly smaller 2.7-inch LCD display, and dropping the rear-panel sub-dial that was used to adjust exposure, playback zoom and certain other settings. The E-PL1 also drops the horizon (leveling) indication, reduces the maximum ISO sensitivity to 3,200 and the fastest shutter speed to 1/2000 second, and switches the microphone to a monaural one. The Olympus PL1 is mostly similar to the P2 in other respects. For more details, read our Olympus E-PL1 hands-on preview.

EXILIM EX-FC150Few cameras can go back in time and grab the moment you actually wanted when you pressed the shutter button, but that's exactly what the Casio EX-FC150 does thanks to its unique Pre-capture mode. With a 5x zoom and a backlit 10-megapixel sensor, the Casio EX-FC150 has even more tricks up its sleeve, including the ability to capture up to 40 frames per second at 9-megapixels, and to capture high-speed video at a frame rate ranging from 120 to 1,000 frames per second! The Casio FC150 will also help you in low light situations where you'd normally have to crank up the ISO into fuzzy-image territory: Just switch to High Speed Night Scene or High Speed Anti-shake mode and the Casio FC150 will capture several images then align them in-camera to form one very clean image. Click here for more on the intriguing Casio EX-FC150.

EOS 7DIn many ways the Canon EOS 7D stands alone. It's a digital SLR camera that can capture 18-megapixel images at 8 frames per second and 14-bit depth, with a quite usable ISO range from 100 to 12,800. The Canon 7D offers Live View, full manual exposure control while recording movies, Full HD movie recording, a new 19-point, all-cross-type autofocus system, a near-100% optical viewfinder, and built-in support for controlling up to three groups of Speedlite strobes. You can choose from one or two of those items with other cameras from Canon and other manufacturers, but if you want it all in one body, the Canon 7D is your only choice at any price. That you can get it all for $1,699 is pretty amazing. Click here to read our review of the Canon 7D.

PowerShot SD940 ISSometimes all you need is a very small camera that can slip into a pocket unnoticed: a camera like the Canon SD940 IS. Its smoothly curved edges make it seem quite a bit thinner than it is, and keeps it from showing in most pockets. Though small, the Canon SD940 still has some big features, like a 2.70-inch LCD, a 28mm 4x zoom with image stabilization, a 12.1-megapixel sensor, and an HDMI-out port to go with its HD video. Click here for more on the Canon SD940 digital camera.

PowerShot SD980 ISBursting 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!
