Sony

The 7.2-megapixel Sony Cyber-shot DSC-S750 is small, trim, and compact, with a 2.5-inch LCD and a 3x optical zoom lens. The Sony S750's straightforward interface is reminiscent of older Sony Cyber-shots, without the new Home menu we find so confusing on other Sony digital cameras. A small selection of user-adjustable exposure options give the Sony S750 a little more than the usual full-auto mode. The Sony S750 also offers a range of useful preset scene modes, as well as Face Detection technology to help optimize the camera for portraits and other special situations. Though the Sony S750 was handsome and worked well enough, we had more than a little trouble with its image quality. Click here for more on the Sony S750.

Canon

At under $150, the Canon PowerShot A580 ranks as one of the least expensive digital cameras on the market. But that was only one target Canon hit with the A580. With 8 megapixels, a 4x optical zoom, and a 2.5-inch LCD, the Canon A580 is clearly not a stripped-down digital camera. Canon popped a DIGIC III under the hood to give the A580 more than a few cool features that go beyond the competition; features like motion detection and face recognition. Click here to read our review of the Canon A580 digital camera for the full story.

Sigma
image of the Sigma DP1 digital camera DP1
Promising high image quality in a small package, Sigma built their DP1 with an APS-C-sized sensor, hoping to attract discriminating photographers who want a little more from a digital camera. Two years after its announcement, the Sigma DP1 is finally out, and we've run it through its paces. Though the 14.1-megapixel sensor only outputs 4.6-megapixel images, those images have quite a bit more detail than you'd expect, thanks to the unique Foveon X3 sensor. The Sigma DP1 is a bit of an odd fit for most shooters who aren't used to digital cameras with a fixed-focal-length lens, though. And while the Sigma DP1 is easy to bring along, a few necessary accessories make it bigger than it should be. Click here to get a closer look at the Sigma DP1.

Pentax
image of the Pentax Optio Z10 digital camera Optio Z10
The Pentax Optio Z10 shoehorns a 7x optical zoom into a pocket digital camera that remains fairly light, despite the thick profile. A sliding door protects the lens from damage; though because it's a folded optic, the Pentax PZ10's lens stays inside the camera regardless of the focal length. A 2.5-inch LCD, an 8-megapixel sensor, and a high ISO of 3,200 round out the Pentax PZ10's basics. Face Detection and Digital Wide angle function pique the interest a little more. Come read our review of the Pentax Optio Z10 digital camera for more.

Sony
image of the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W130 digital camera Cyber-shot DSC-W130
A thin, compact and feature-laden digital camera, the 8.1-megapixel Sony Cyber-shot W130 handles a range of situations quite well. With unique bonus features like smile detection, creative post-capture filters and an Easy shooting mode for beginners the Sony W130 gives you plenty of ways to both capture and play with your photos. Its 4x zoom lens gives the Cyber-shot DSC-W130 a little more flexibility than the traditional 3x on most digital cameras, and its 2.5-inch LCD is bright and useful in direct sunlight. A good selection of Scene modes, Face Detection, and Super SteadyShot make the Cyber-shot DSC-W130 a resourceful companion just about anywhere.
