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. We've finished putting the lens through its paces in our test lab: click here to read our full review of this lens.

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...

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. Of course, the Sony WX1 also has face detection, smile...

Packing a larger sensor into a small body, the Panasonic GF1's images are impressive, rivaling today's best digital SLR cameras, with excellent detail and low noise. To rival SLR digital cameras properly, of course, the Panasonic GF1 needs interchangeable lenses, and Panasonic delivers some of the finest optical performance we've seen from the Lumix GF1's two available kit lenses. In addition to 12-megapixel...

While not as long as the previous kit lens (18-70mm), the new lens features Sony's new SAM (Smooth Autofocus Motor) autofocus system and curved aperture blades. Do these upgrades justify the loss of 15mm? Click here to read our full review of the Sony 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 DT SAM.

Is it the insanely slim, tapered body? The Sony TX1's surprisingly usable touchscreen? Or perhaps the Sony TX1's extra-sensitive 10-megapixel Exmor R sensor that allows such impressive low light photography? The 4x zoom ranges from 35 to 140mm equivalent, and the Sony Cyber-shot TX1's movie mode can record up to 720p HD movies with sound. What sealed our fondness for the Sony TX1 was certainly the...

As consumer digital SLR camera choices go, the Canon T1i is a safe bet, with a 3-inch, high-res LCD, an optically image-stabilized zoom lens, a 3.4 frame-per-second frame rate, and built-in HD movie recording capability. The Canon T1i's still-image performance surpasses all contenders at this price point, as well as many higher-priced digital SLR cameras, with not just high resolution, but impressive...
