Samsung ST550

Self-portrait screen or not, this camera marks Samsung's coming of age. Aside from a few too many megapixels and battery life that's too short, it's a delight to behold and use.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX65

It's a good camera that can take some beautiful pictures, but for the price and the lack of extra features, the FX65 doesn't live up to our expectations of value — and its video quality is terrible.

Reviews

  • Sony Handycam HDR-XR100

    While it's a perfectly serviceable HD camcorder, the Sony Handycam HDR-XR100 should deliver a little more of everything for the money.

  • Sony Alpha DSLR-A380

    While the Sony Alpha DSLR-A380 is a solid and inexpensive dSLR with a few nice features that will probably satisfy many shooters, it doesn't deliver quite enough on any front to outshine competitors.

  • Fujifilm FinePix S1500

    Even for a full-featured megazoom camera at a low price, the Fujifilm FinePix S1500 delivers average photo quality and mixed performance.

  • Olympus SP-590 UZ

    Aside from a debatable, but useful, 26x zoom lens, there's little that's notable about the Olympus SP-590 UZ.

  • Sony Alpha DSLR-A330

    The Sony Alpha DSLR-A330 is a solid entry-level dSLR that will surely have its fans, but unless you really want Live View its cheaper sibling, the A230, is a better deal.

  • Sony Alpha DSLR-A230

    The Sony Alpha DSLR-A230 is a solid entry-level dSLR that will surely have its fans, and it's a better deal than its slightly higher-end sibling, the A330.

  • Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W230

    At a reasonably low price for budget shoppers, the W230 has quite a few nice features. Unfortunately, the camera has a lens that is not too sturdy, below par image quality and a battery life that will disappoint.

  • Pentax K-m

    We like the K-m and the image quality it offers, but having to fumble over the inconsistent metering and white balance can be an issue for users not familiar with manual exposure controls.
