Reviews

  • Sony Alpha DSLR-A350

    Unless you're prepared to spend a disproportionate amount on a really good lens, the resolution bump offered by the Sony Alpha DSLR-A350 isn't worth the price.

  • Nikon D60

    Despite modest improvements in performance and a couple of new features, Nikon's D60 fails to impress and costs more than some competing models.

  • Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX100

    If you absolutely must have a 12-megapixel compact camera, the DMC-FX100 isn't a bad choice, but you can find better performing cameras with lower pixel counts for the same money.

  • Canon EOS 450D

    It doesn't stand out for its feature set or design, but the Canon EOS 450D delivers on performance and photo quality.

  • Creative Live Cam Optia AF

    If remote video surveillance or time-lapse photography is something you want to do with a Webcam, the Creative Live Cam Optia AF is a good pick. For all others, Logitech has a better (and slightly cheaper) Webcam.

  • Dell XPS M1730

    When most desktop replacements tend to target power users or entertainment seekers, the Dell XPS M1730 makes no bones about being a gaming machine.

  • Canon HV20

    Canon's HV20 camcorder is a great choice for HD-happy amateurs, but its low-light performance could have been better.

  • Sony Alpha DSLR-A700

    A top-of-the-line amateur digital SLR camera, the Sony Alpha DSLR-A700 will delight Konica Minolta diehards and makes a great choice if you don't already have a stake in other lens systems.

Features

  • Higher resolutions: 12-megapixel cameras

    Cameras might be staying small, but their photos are getting bigger than ever. While once only digital SLRs could hit such high resolutions, now even inch-thick point-and-shoot cameras can reach or surpass 12 megapixels.
