Canon's ELPHs are all stunning, but the Canon SD790 IS is among the most handsome of digital cameras with its chiseled edges and 3-inch screen. The inside of the Canon SD790 IS is beautiful, too, with a DIGIC III image processor to handle the 10-megapixel images its 3x zoom captures. And if you think that looks good, wait until you see the Canon SD790's images. Click here to read our review of the Canon SD790 IS digital camera for the whole story.

Sony

While Sony's slim T-series digital cameras get all the attention, the W-Series continues to delight, with great features at a mid-range price. The Cyber-shot W300 is Sony's new flagship W-Series digital camera, as you can tell at glance. The Sony W300's scratch-resistant titanium shell is among the coolest looking Sony digital cameras, and you won't be disappointed by the pictures it takes either. The Cyber-shot W300's 13.6-megapixel sensor sets a new standard in high ISO detail and color for Sony. Click here for the Sony Cyber-shot W300 review.

Nikon
image of the Nikon D700 digital camera D700
While it's not inexpensive, the Nikon D700 is the first full-frame digital SLR camera to break the $3,000 barrier at its introduction, with design and features that will attract a wide array of photographers, despite its price. Based on the popular Nikon D300, the Nikon D700's controls are poised for quick activation, with commonly used functions out in plain sight, rather than buried in a menu. A large, high-resolution LCD screen serves up images that are sharper than normal, and menus likewise appear razor-sharp. The Nikon D700's full-frame sensor is essentially identical to the Nikon D3's, so image quality is superb, and high-ISO performance is unprecedented, ranging from 100 to 25,600. Extremely adaptable, the Nikon D700 is a great digital SLR camera to build a system around. Click here for our review of the full-frame Nikon D700.

Canon

There are good digital cameras and cheap digital cameras - the trick is getting both in the same package. The Canon PowerShot A590 IS is one digital camera that delivers a lot of capability and good photos at a low price. We also like the fact that Canon A590IS is well-suited to both novices and advanced users. Total beginners can put it in "Easy" mode and snap away, but a full range of features (including full manual exposure control) will satisfy more advanced users. The Canon A590IS has a bright 2.5-inch LCD display, but also features a real-image optical viewfinder to help conserve battery power. Not a perfect camera by any means, but a heck of a buy at its current ~$150 street price. Click here to read our Canon A590IS review for all the details!

Olympus

Olympus's shockproof, waterproof, crushproof, and freeze proof digital camera line gets two significant upgrades in the Stylus 1030SW: a new, 28-105mm wide-angle zoom, and a 10.1-megapixel sensor. The Olympus 1030SW is still the ruggedness leader, working at depths of up to 33 feet without an underwater housing, and the built-in manometer will record the heights and depths you've reached for bragging rights. The big question is whether the new lens and sensor improve the Olympus 1030SW's image quality over past offerings. Click here for our review of the Olympus Stylus 1030SW for more.
