Photo of the Day: Win a Canon PIXMA Pro9000 Mk II
Latest Digital Camera Reviews / Previews
Once in a while, a camera comes along with a genuinely different approach to its rivals. Some go on to fundamentally change the market; others aren't quite so successful. Either way, we welcome out-of-the-box designs like the PowerShot G1 X, the first Canon large-sensor compact. The G1 X retains a worthwhile size advantage over mirrorless models, and boasts a night-and-day image quality advantage over small-sensor cameras, but there are a a few rough edges. Will they outweigh its advantages? To find out, read our Canon G1 X review!Res: 14.3mp

The Canon SX150 shows just how much capability you can get in an inexpensive digital camera these days. It's not without its limitations, but for the price is quite a bargain. (Especially if you can pick it up for the $149 price we've seen here and there around the web.) Read our Canon SX150 IS review for all the details!Res: 14.1mp

Yes, we've been looking at cell phones again, this time the updated Apple iPhone 4S. Upgraded from the 5-megapixel sensor in the previous model we reviewed, the iPhone 4S now sports an 8-megapixel BSI CMOS chip, and gets a little help from a faster processor and the new iOS 5.1.

The Pentax Q polarizes opinion like no other digital camera. Some love its incredibly compact design: among system cameras, the Q's in a class of its own. Others decry its smaller-than-average image sensor, and the limitations that brings. Both camps have a point: while the Pentax Q fulfils on the portability promise of mirrorless like no other, Pentax definitely had to make some significant sacrifices to achieve a body this small. The question we faced in reviewing the Pentax Q: are the tradeoffs worthwhile, or has Pentax taken a step too far? Read our Pentax Q review, and find out!Res: 12.4mp

Fujifilm hit the nail on the head with a digital camera nearly solid enough to drive a nail, and image quality that's tack-sharp deep into the high-ISO range. We appreciated its tight build, smart control layout, and no-nonsense feature set. We wish we could trust the gorgeous hybrid optical viewfinder a bit more, but at least it errs on the side of including more rather than cutting out essential elements.
