Review: Canon PowerShot SD880 IS If you’re looking for a good quality point-and-shoot camera, consider Canon’s PowerShot SD880 IS. It’s easy to use and small enough to fit in a shirt pocket, while delivering high-resolution photos with great color and detail.
Review: Pentax Optio A40 point-and-shoot camera If you consider just the camera itself, Pentax’s Optio A40 is a good all-around performer. It’s small and sturdy enough to take anywhere, and it has very good image quality and shooting modes that make taking pictures a breeze.
Review: Canon EOS Rebel XSi SLR camera Canon's new EOS Rebel XSi is a great digital SLR camera, no matter how you look at it. If you’re shopping for a DSLR that costs less than a grand, this camera must go on your short list.
Review: Olympus E-3 It's big and brawny, and Olympus's new DSLR can handle the elements. It's high-ISO performance isn't as good as Nikon's D300 or Canon's EOS 40D, but the E-3's overall image quality is very good.
Review: Canon EOS 40D There's a lot to like about Canon's successor to the popular EOS 30D digital single-lens reflex camera. Experienced photographers will enjoy the EOS 40D's intuitive design and easy-to-use software interface, not to mention the great image quality. It's not perfect, but it's a DSLR to seriously consider.
