Reviews

  • Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T900

    The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T900 is a good, fast snapshot camera that's also very attractive and extremely compact. Its battery life is a little short and some will find the photo quality unworthy of the price tag. You're paying for the great design more than for great photos.

  • Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H7

    If you shoot primarily outdoors in daytime -- especially sports, children, and animals -- the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H7 is a good choice. The more expensive DSC-H9 has a larger, flip-out LCD, infrared shooting, and has a few interface differences, but is otherwise identical.

  • Sony Cyber-shot DSC-D9

    If you shoot primarily outdoors in daytime -- especially sports, children and animals -- the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H9 is a great choice. The cheaper DSC-H7 has a smaller LCD, lacks infrared shooting, and has a few interface differences, but is otherwise identical.

  • Kodak EasyShare C643

    The budget Kodak EasyShare C643 camera proves that you get what you pay for.

  • Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H5

    Advanced amateurs who find dSLRs too bulky will like the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H5's versatility but lament the noise at higher ISOs.

  • Kodak EasyShare LS753

    Fast operation, great macro and burst modes, and excellent battery life distinguish this 5-megapixel snapshot camera from the crowd.

  • Pentax Optio S50

    This little Pentax is a bit slow, but it takes nice pictures.
