Reviews

  • 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.

  • Panasonic Lumix DMC-G1

    For the world's first camera based on the micro four thirds format, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-G1 is incredibly refined, though not perfect. Still, its size, image quality and design will undoubtedly sway many a first-time SLR buyer.

  • Kodak EasyShare Z1085 IS

    The Kodak EasyShare Z1085 IS is a solid value camera with decent photo quality and a well-rounded feature set, but is let down by poor performance.

  • Olympus SP-570 Ultra Zoom

    The 10-megapixel SP-570UZ boasts a 20x optical zoom lens, but poor performance diminishes its potential as an otherwise solid superzoom.

  • Kodak EasyShare Z8612 IS

    The Kodak EasyShare Z8612 IS has trimmed off every gram of fat, but the 12x zoom lens overbalances the camera. It oozes understated élan and even has some clever features, but the performance isn't quite there.

  • 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.

  • Fujifilm FinePix S8000fd

    Fuji's S8000fd 18x megazoom has a nice body design and offers a commendable level of control, but its mediocre image quality and sluggish performance acts blights what could otherwise be an excellent camera.
