Reviews

AgfaPhoto DC-600uw

The AgfaPhoto is an inexpensive, basic waterproof digital camera that can go down to 10m underwater, and has a 6 megapixel resolution.
Fujifilm FinePix S200EXR

The S200EXR stands on its own as a hybrid between a superzoom and SLR, with a 14.3x optical zoom lens and Fuji's Super CCD sensor. Expect great pictures but be prepared for backaches.
Canon EOS 7D

Canon has created a proficient prosumer digital SLR with the 7D, sporting excellent specifications and performance such as burst shooting speed and HD movie recording.
Olympus Mju Tough 6010

Sony's DSC-TX1 is an exciting step forward for compact cameras, pushing for better image quality rather than more megapixels — and it pulls it off in style.

The big daddy of digital SLR cameras has arrived — ladies and gentlemen, start your engines.
