The Pentax K-x replaces last year's K2000 model in the company's lineup, and takes some of the impressive features from the K-7, and places them in a more consumer-friendly body whose design is almost unchanged from that of the K2000. The main changes in the Kx are a new image sensor and processor, Pentax's 11-point SAFOX VIII AF module, the addition of both live view and 24fps high-definition video...

The chief innovation of the lens is the addition of Sigma's OS (optical stabilization) technology, as well as a slightly larger maximum aperture. Click here to read our full review of this lens.

Panasonic ZS1 looks like a simple pocket digicam, but when you turn it on you find a very wide-angle 25mm lens that zooms optically 12 times, out to 300mm equivalent. That makes using the Panasonic ZS1 a pleasant surprise. In terms of optical and sensor quality, the Lumix ZS1 is essentially identical to the very popular and more expensive ZS3, but without a few niceties that you may or may not want. If still photography is your only requirement, the Panasonic ZS1 does better than fine, and offers VGA and WVGA video as well. The Panasonic ZS1's optical image stabilization...

Its 10-megapixel sensor impresses with good image quality, and the Sony H20's autofocus speed rivals some digital SLRs. We were particularly impressed with its sharp corners at wide-angle, and its image quality was good enough for 13x19-inch prints. Though it doesn't have the widest wide-angle lens, the Sony Cyber-shot H20 ranges from 38 to 380mm, a very long telephoto for such a small camera. Clearly...

The lens offers an excellent wide-angle to telephoto zoom range and image stabilization in a convenient package; does it offer performance to match? Click here to read our full review of this lens.

The Coolpix S630 digital camera also has face, smile, and blink-detection technologies for better automated control while portrait shooting. The Nikon S630 is capable of producing good snapshots under most average shooting conditions, and offers a continuous shooting option that can capture up to 11 fps. The Nikon S630 is attractive and easily portable, and worth a closer look. Click here for our Express...

The new lens has enough bells and whistles to get Canon's top-end treatment, adding it to its lineup of L-class lenses. Are the revisions worth an upgrade, or can macro enthusiasts stay in the field with their current lenses? Click here to read our full review of this lens.

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.

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...

In addition to getting a little bit wider (50mm instead of the pre-existing 55-200mm version), the big addition was optical image stabilization.

The Canon S90 takes much of the PowerShot G11's feature set, and puts it into a more compact, pocket-friendly package. The Canon S90 uses the same lower-res 10.0 megapixel imager, but drops some of the telephoto reach, instead including a stabilized 28 - 105mm equivalent 3.8x optical zoom. The S90 also replaces the G11's tilt/swivel screen with a larger 3.0-inch fixed position LCD display. See our...

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...

Offering an impressive 140-600mm effective field of view on four-thirds mount cameras, the Olympus 70-300mm f/4-5.6 is an economical way to get significant telephoto zoom capacity; but is image quality sacrificed in the process?

The Canon PowerShot G11 retains similar styling to the PowerShot G10, but takes an important step in the direction of sanity by reducing the sensor resolution from 14.7 to 10.0 megapixels. This should help the Canon G11 offer improved dynamic range, reduced image noise and better low-light performance. The PowerShot G11 also features a 2.8-inch tilt/swivel LCD display in place of the G10's 3.0-inch...
