If ease of use, great quality, and pocketability are what you're looking for in a digital camera, the Canon SD1200 offers up all three at a low price. Optical Image Stabilization, advanced Face Detection, and a Smart Auto mode take away most of the work of taking pictures. And, the beauty of it is, you can trust the PowerShot SD1200 to do a great job in most situations, and serve up excellent prints at home or at the photo lab. Click here for more on the Canon SD1200.

Nikon
image of the Nikon D3000 digital camera D3000
The Nikon D3000 is the replacement for the Nikon D40 and D60 digital SLR cameras, inheriting some features from each, including a 10-megapixel sensor, a simplified control interface, and a small body. The Nikon D3000 kit includes a Vibration Reduction zoom lens in place of the older ED lens that shipped with the D40. The D3000's special Guide mode is designed to make shooting in special circumstances a little easier for novices, and the Nikon D3000 includes an 11-point AF system for better coverage of the image area. Small and affordable, the Nikon D3000 takes up the mantle of one of Nikon's best selling digital SLR cameras, but does the mantle fit? Click here for our full review of the Nikon D3000 digital SLR.

Canon
image of the Canon PowerShot SX1 IS digital camera PowerShot SX1 IS
Tuned for both stills and video, the Canon PowerShot SX1 continues a long line of Canon long-zoom digital cameras, but with a new twist: it uses a 10-megapxiel CMOS sensor instead of a CCD. Though this doesn't seem to improve the Canon SX1's image quality, it does enable both "Full HD" 1080p video capture and a still-image framerate of up to 4 frames per second. Its 20x zoom lens has a very useful range from 28 to 560mm equivalent, and the Canon SX1's utility is further enhanced with a 2.8-inch, wide-screen, swiveling LCD for easier image composition from odd angles. Very well built, the Canon SX1 is also fairly expensive. Is it worth the extra money? Click here for our review of the Canon PowerShot SX1 IS.

Sony

Tell someone that the Sony WX1 has an Exmor R sensor and you'll get a quizzical look. Tell them the Sony WX1 digital camera will let them take sharp pictures indoors and at night, and they'll start to pay attention. Sony's Cyber-shot WX1 takes a novel approach to low-light shooting: It rapidly snaps six images and stacks them up, resulting in one low-noise image that's good enough to make an 11x14-inch print. The Sony WX1 does other tricks too, building a panorama out of hundreds of images, allowing you to just press the shutter and pan. No tedious stepwise panning as in other digital cameras, just one sweep that takes mere moments. And if that weren't enough, you can even capture a 10-frame per second sequence of images at the full 10 megapixels. All in a tiny digital camera whose main drawback is that it may be too hard to hold! Click here for our review of the Sony WX1.

Panasonic
image of the Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF1 digital camera Lumix DMC-GF1
Packing a larger sensor into a small body, the Panasonic GF1 delivers what so many digital photographers have been wanting: SLR quality in a digicam-size package. The Panasonic GF1's images are impressive, rivaling today's best digital SLRs, with excellent detail and low noise. To rival SLR digital cameras properly, of course, the Panasonic GF1 needs interchangeable lenses as well, and Panasonic delivers some of the finest optical performance we've seen from its two available kit lenses. Coming in at about the same weight and size as its main rival, the Panasonic GF1 is nonetheless faster than the Olympus E-P1; though what the two cameras share is a lens mount and adapters that allow mounting of quite a wide range of Four Thirds and other lenses. There's a lot to cover with the Panasonic GF1, so click here for our full review of this exciting Micro Four Thirds digital camera.

Accessory Review: Cotton Carrier
cc-150x150.jpgNov 06, 20:39 EST - We thought we'd prefer the holster and it was good. But the vest was even better. There are two kinds of camera accessories. Some are designed by people sitting in Herman Miller chairs running CAD programs all day. They produce things that sound like great ideas but end up in the drawer before the credit card bill shows up. The other kind are designed by photographers who are trying to solve a problem that vexes them. Sometimes... (more)
