Nikon Coolpix P5100

Nikon Coolpix P5100

By Theano Nikitas

Released not long after its sibling, the P5000, the Nikon Coolpix P5100 quickly claimed its role as the new leader of the Coolpix pack. The two cameras bear a close familial resemblance both on the surface and under the hood--most notably the solid, ...

Pentax Optio Z10

Pentax Optio Z10 (Black)

By Philip Ryan

While most camera companies were designing cameras with sliding lens covers to mimic Sony's T-series cameras, Pentax didn't jump on that bandwagon. But, now that sliding covers have become a regular part of the digital camera design aesthetic, Pentax ...

Fujifilm FinePix S8000fd

Fujifilm FinePix S8000fd

By Philip Ryan

One of the best reasons to consider a megazoom is the fact that you get a big zoom range in a small package, so you don't have to carry around huge SLR lenses and, more importantly, you don't have to pay the huge prices for those SLR lenses. Fujifilm ...

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 blights what could otherwise be an excellent camera.

Nikon Coolpix S51c

Why mess with a good thing? That seems to be Nikon's approach to its Wi-Fi-enabled ultracompact cameras. When they came out with the Coolpix S50c last year, I noticed that it was extremely similar to its predecessor, the S7c. Now, Nikon has made the ...

Nice click wheel ; sleek, slim design ; supports wireless 802.11b/g photo e-mail via T-Mobile HotSpot and private access points ; optical image stabilization

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-S700

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-S700

By Lori Grunin

Photos and image samples:Sony Cyber-shot DSC-S70Given the budget Cyber-shot DSC-S700's position at the rock-bottom of Sony's 2007 camera line, all you should really expect from it is the ability to take usable photos with minimal fuss. And by those ...

Hewlett Packard Photosmart M537 Digitalkamera

HP Photosmart M537

By Will Greenwald

HP's Photosmart M537 is the archetypal budget camera. It's not particularly large or small, it doesn't look terribly shiny or sleek, and it doesn't have any notably unique features. This is completely understandable; sub-$150 snapshot cameras don't ...

Nikon Coolpix L10

Nikon Coolpix L10

By Will Greenwald

You don't need a high-resolution camera to get good-looking pictures. If they're made right, 5-megapixel cameras can produce great photos. If you're on a tight budget, but still want to take some photos, consider the Nikon Coolpix L10. This little ...

Fujifilm FinePix F50FD

Fujifilm FinePix F50fd

By Philip Ryan

Ever since Fuji introduced the FinePix F10, the company's double-digit-named F-series has been all about low noise at higher ISOs. Over the years, though, Fuji has developed the line into the very compact, classy-looking FinePix F50fd under review ...

Samsung Digimax L77

Samsung L77

By Will Greenwald

Usually, a big zoom means a big camera. It's only natural; the larger a lens, the larger the body you need in which to put the lens. That's why Samsung's L77 surprised us. This slim little camera sports a beefy 7x optical zoom that doesn't even pop ...

Samsung NV11

Samsung NV11

By Will Greenwald

With matte black finishes, prominent, blue-ringed lenses, and unusual touch sensor controls, Samsung's style-minded NV cameras are pretty hard to miss. Sitting at the top of the NV heap is the NV11, a 7.7-ounce, 10-megapixel camera that strikes just ...
