Latest Digital Camera Reviews

Sony
image of the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T700 digital camera Cyber-shot DSC-T700
The new flagship Sony T700 is one of the most attractive ultracompact digital cameras around, worthy of Sony's offer to engrave it for you. But inside the Sony T700 is pretty impressive, too, with a Bionz processor, optical image stabilization, face detection that can tell an adult from a child, and smile technology that knows a grin from a laugh. Most impressive, however, is the Sony DSC-T700's four gigabytes of internal memory and the password-protected firmware that can manage the 1,500 medium resolution images that this unique digital camera can hold. The Sony T700 isn't your typical digicam, but after using it for a few weeks, it certainly seems to get the picture. Not every image has to be printed, but it's nice to be able to pocket a year's worth of special events and play them on an HDTV. See our Sony T700 review for more!

Panasonic
image of the Panasonic Lumix DMC-G1 digital camera Lumix DMC-G1
The Panasonic DMC-G1 is the first Micro Four Thirds camera to hit the market, and we were very impressed with both its test results and handling. The Panasonic G1 is a camera that makes you want to pick it up and shoot with, and when you do, it doesn't disappoint. Image quality is excellent, and the Panasonic G1's 14-45mm kit lens is of noticeably better optical quality than any other we've seen to date. While its sensor isn't quite up to the high-ISO capability of SLR cameras with larger image sensors, we were pleasantly surprised by how good its ISO 1,600 images looked. If you're looking for a versatile, capable interchangeable-lens camera that's more compact than typical SLRs, you need to check out our full Panasonic G1 review!

Canon
image of the Canon EOS 50D digital camera EOS 50D
Many features stand out to make the Canon EOS 50D a great digital SLR camera. What will really catch and hold users is the impressive image quality they'll get from the Canon 50D across the standard ISO range of 100 to 3,200. New gapless microlenses allow greater light gathering ability, making for surprisingly detailed images even at ISO 800 and 1,600. The Canon 50D's 14-bit analog-to-digital conversion doesn't slow the frame rate down, either, as the camera clicks along at 6.3 frames per second. UDMA support lets the Canon 50D write to a CompactFlash card at up to 45MB per second, with support for future cards that will allow writing at up to 133MB per second, making the 50D quite fast in more ways than one. The addition of face detection gives the Canon 50D the most complete set of Live View features in an EOS camera, and other operational enhancements make the Canon 50D both easy to work with and provide more depth to explore than ever before.

Nikon
image of the Nikon D90 digital camera D90
Nikon D90 review completed! The new Nikon D90 is clearly one of the landmark digital cameras of 2008, and we've finally put the finishing touches on our review of it. See the first page of our Nikon D90 review for an overview of this amazing camera, our overall conclusions about it, and brief comparisons with some of the cameras it competes with. See the newly-added Nikon D90 Video page for a discussion of its video capabilities and how we found it to shoot with. If you're in the market for a high-end prosumer digital SLR camera, the Nikon D90 deserves to be near the top of your list for consideration. Read our Nikon D90 review for all the details!

Panasonic
image of the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX3 digital camera Lumix DMC-LX3
Panasonic's flagship Lumix DMC-LX3 digital camera is almost in a category by itself. With a 10-megapixel imager, a high quality Leica lens, and a high-resolution 3-inch wide-screen LCD, the Panasonic LX3 was built to deliver high image quality in a small package. Gone are the noise problems of the LX2, and detail is lush. The Panasonic LX3's color was natural, and printed results tell the rest of the story. The Panasonic LX3's price is competitive, too, more than an inexpensive digicam, but less than a digital SLR. Click here to see why the Panasonic LX3 has put my piggy bank on the endangered species list.
