D5000Including the same excellent 12.3-megapixel sensor as the D300 and D90, the Nikon D5000 has nothing to apologize for in the image quality department, yet has even more to recommend it. The HD Movie mode stands out as a key feature, offering the ability to use many unique lenses, like wide angle and long telephoto optics, in movie recording for interesting effects. The Nikon D5000's kit lens has optical Vibration Reduction for more stable videos and stills, and a new articulating LCD screen tilts and rotates, allowing you to shoot from overhead, down low, or even around corners. The exposure system can be as simple or complex as you like, with a wide array of options, and Nikon didn't skimp on the editing features, either, offering quite a few post-processing tools to overlay images, add soft-focus, fix perspective problems, and even add a fisheye effect to your images. The Nikon D5000 is a whole lot of digital SLR, and a whole lot of fun. Click here to read the full review of the Nikon D5000!

PowerShot SD990 ISThe 900-series of the Canon ELPH digital cameras is usually pretty deluxe, and the Canon SD990 doesn't disappoint. Added to the 14.7-megapixel sensor, 2.5-inch LCD, and 3.7x lens is a full Manual exposure mode that should pique the interest of photographers wanting a little more control of their pocket digital camera. Image stabilization is of course standard on the Canon SD990, as is face detection, intelligent auto and intelligent contrast, but a new Quick Shot mode primes the camera to capture action when used with the optical viewfinder. The Canon SD990 is replete with interesting twists. Click here for our Express Review of the Canon PowerShot SD990 IS.

PowerShot E1Cute, small, and fun, the Canon PowerShot E1 brings intelligent, automatic simplicity to a, dare-we-say, adorable little digital camera body. It's small and attractive, but it's not all about the looks. The PowerShot E1 captures clean, high-quality images with great color and exposure, boasting useful automatic tools such as Face Detection and a variety of pre-programmed scene modes. With its 4x zoom lens, optical image stabilization, and 10-megapixel CCD, the PowerShot E1 can handle a range of conditions with ease.

PowerShot SD880 ISIf you're looking for an excellent pocket digital camera at a good price, your search is over. The Canon PowerShot SD880 IS has a nice 28mm wide-angle lens, a 4x zoom, a very clean 10-megapixel sensor, and clean, sharp corners even at wide angle. The Canon SD880's shape is excellent, its color is appealing, and it functions like you'd expect. Rather than tiny buttons on the back, the Canon SD880 has nice big ones, easy to see and activate. It even has image stabilization built right in. If you're not convinced yet, we're prepared to go into greater detail, just click here for our review of the Canon PowerShot SD880 IS.

Lumix DMC-GH1Strictly speaking, it's not a digital SLR, but the Panasonic GH1 kept us quite busy going over the myriad features of this refined interchangeable-lens digital camera. Image quality has improved dramatically from the G1, making the Panasonic GH1 worth the extra money not only for its video mode and 10x lens. But it's the video mode that makes the Panasonic GH1 unique, capable of HD video capture in both AVCHD and Motion JPEG. What's more, you can shoot video in Program, Shutter-priority, Aperture-priority, and Manual exposure mode, a first for any digital camera, SLR or otherwise. With live view, fast autofocus, a swiveling LCD, a 12-megapixel sensor, optical image stabilization, and impressive printed output, there's a lot to cover on the Panasonic Lumix GH1. Click here to read our full review of the Panasonic GH1.
