Casio Exilim EX-H10

Another high-speed compact from Casio, this time with some big claims. Read about the Casio Exilim EX-H10 here.

, that claim seems like a pipe dream. We've been waiting on a Casio that produces an image performance to rival the Canons and Panasonics of its class, so hopefully this is the magic moment

Samsung SL820

Samsung SL820 Review

By Mike Perlman

The leader of Samsung's SL series brings a 24mm ultra wide-angle lens to the table. But does it have anything else to offer? Read the in-depth Samsung SL820 review to find out.

Solid, durable chassis. Large LCD

Poor LCD resolution. Inconsistent image performance. Makes taking pictures a chore. Proprietary terminal

Connectivity was whittled down to a single proprietary connection supported only by Samsung's included cables. We were not fans of this design because if we lost a cable, we couldn't simply pick up a spare USB cable lying around and link up. We also ...

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX48

Panasonic's swanky little 12-megapixel compact is easy on the eyes. Does the wide-angle compact offer more than just looks and portability? Read the full Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX48 review to find out.

Hot little number. Highly portable. Great auto mode

Inconsistent image quality (noise). Skimpy interface. Limited features

earlier this year and the shutter button zoom toggle was a welcome addition. We liked the offset lens because our hand could not obstruct the view, but the off-center flash led to uneven lighting. Panasonic still insists on retaining some semblance of ...

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX580

Panasonic's second wave of hybrid touch-screen action may look tasty, but is it a major improvement for 2009? Read our exclusive Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX580 review to find out.

Bountiful shooting features. Great Playback mode. 25mm wide-angle lens allowed us to fit more in our shots

Inconsistent image quality. Touch-screen still has a few kinks to iron out. Minimal improvements upon Lumix DMC-FX500

We do get a shutter button zoom toggle out of the deal, but Panasonic shifted from a Joystick to a four-way directional pad this time around. The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX580 features a sleek glossy black backside with a textured dot thumb grip and ...

Olympus Mju Tough 8000

We took three of the hottest waterproof compacts and tossed them into a sea of obstacles. Will the Panasonic TS1, Fujifilm Z33WP and Olympus Tough 8000 make a splash? Read on to find out.

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-TS1 was the chunkiest of the three as far as dimensions, but its weight was not as hefty as the Olympus Tough 8000's. We tested both models by dropping each to the pavement from their specified height distances. The Olympus ...

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX1

The ultimate Mega Zoom showdown has hit the infoSync World Coliseum! Check out our exclusive image samples from the Canon PowerShot SX1 IS and Sony DSC-HX1 here.

Canon pumped up the jam with the introduction of the Canon PowerShot SX1 IS, but from the outside it's difficult to see any improvements. We're huge fans of the PowerShot SX1 IS's all-black chassis and matte finish. Like the Canon PowerShot SX10 IS, ...

Canon PowerShot SX200 IS

We took three of the hottest mid-range performance compacts and tossed them into a cage for the ultimate hands-on battle. See how the Canon SX200 IS, Fujifilm f200EXR and Samsung HZ15W fared in our exclusive preview with image samples.

While the new Canon SX1 IS is virtually identical the first generation Canon SX10 IS, the design team at Canon chose a radically different avenue with the cultivation of the Canon SX110 IS's replacement. The new Canon SX200 IS will sell, and how do we ...

Pentax X70

Big zooms are hotter than ever for 2009, and we snagged image samples from three major zoom pimps. Check out our exclusive preview of the Nikon Coolpix P90, Pentax X70 and Fujifilm FinePix S1500 here.

If you're a zoom freak and have the luxury of a tripod at your disposal, then this is not an issue. But we can see how this can pose as a threat to unassuming consumers who drop significant chunks of change on an enticing feature. We took image ...

Canon PowerShot A1100 IS

Looking for a decent point-and-shoot with a reasonable price tag that ships in three different pastel colors? Check out our Canon PowerShot A1100 IS review here.

Decent overall image quality. Great menu system

Inconsistent low light performance. Limited manual controls

The Canon PowerShot A1100 IS feels light, but it's bulkier than most Ultra Compacts. We like the pronounced gripping area and the shutter button zoom toggle is a nice touch, rather than a clunky zoom panel mounted in back. We're also glad Canon tacked ...

Casio Exilim EX-FC100

High-speed reaches the compact world, but is it worth all the frame rates? Read the full Casio Exilim EX-FC100 review here.

Packed with features. Solid design. Improved color and detail in some shooting environments

Inconsistent image quality. Most high-speed features are gimmicky. Poor LCD quality

Aesthetically, the Casio Exilim EX-FC100 is a suave smooth talker with its rounded edges and black trim. We liked the pronounced shutter button zoom toggle, though its movement was a little too rigid and spastic. A little WD40 in the production house ...
