Interested in a high-quality 28-300mm eq. constant f/2.8 zoom lens mounted in front of a sensor that is larger than conventional all-in-one long zooms, but that fits comfortably in a coat pocket and won't break the bank? Read our in-depth Olympus Stylus 1 review to discover all of the great (and a few not-so-great) things this one-of-a-kind little digital camera has to offer!Res: 12.0mp
Zoom: 10.7x
Storage: SD, SDHC, SDXC
Compare Price: $681-700
The full-frame, FX-format Nikon Df takes the same great sensor and processor pairing of the professional Nikon D4, and places them in a weather-sealed, retro-styled body that's rich with external controls. (And it does so at half the price of the pro camera.) It's arguably the best available-light shooter around, but is it the right camera for you? Read our Nikon Df review, and find out!Res: 16.2mp
Storage: SD, SDHC, SDXC
Compare Price: $2,997-3,000
Panasonic's "micro" Micro Four Thirds camera, the tiny Panasonic GM1 gets our full review treatment. The tiny camera features the same sensor and processor as its larger sibling, the GX7, but Panasonic has done some innovative engineering to pack all that power into such a small and pocketable digital camera. Check out our Panasonic GM1 review to see why this camera was voted the Best Pocket Interchangeable Lens Camera of 2013!Res: 16.0mp
Zoom: 2.7x
Storage: SD, SDHC, SDXC

Canon's updated their powerful and nearly-pocketable flagship PowerShot with the new Canon G16. We've just completed our review of this high-end compact digital camera, and while it's not strikingly different from the previous model, it does bring a big update to the table: speed. With vastly increased AF speed and continuous shooting frames per second -- plus built-in Wi-Fi -- the Canon G16 seems like a surefire upgrade, but is it significant enough to make G15 owners yearn for the sweet '16? Read our Canon G16 review to find out!Res: 12.1mp
Zoom: 5.0x
Storage: SD, SDHC, SDXC
Compare Price: $435-651
We've put it through its paces, and the Sony RX100 II really sets a new bar for pocket camera performance. The original RX100 already dominated the competition, and the new model is a substantial step up from it in a number of areas. Check out our Sony RX100 II review, to see why we voted it our Best Pocket Camera of 2013! Shopping for a really superb pocket camera? Read the review!Res: 20.2mp

Featured Story Mar 7, 13:01 EDT

Mar 10, 17:22 EDT

DxOMarks tests the Nikon D4s—but it's no real change from the D4
Mar 10, 12:16 EDT
When Nikon debuted the D4s, one of the promises of this high-end piece of gear was that even though it has the same megapixel count as the D4, it uses a new sensor, paired with a new processor. But DxOMark has just released its review from testing the Nikon D4s, and found a camera that varies little from its predecessor.
