We've got another Sony camera up for a look today, and it's a pretty powerful one at that. The problem is that you'll pay for that kind of power, and pay pretty sharply. Today we're talking about the Sony DSLR-A330L, and it's got power with a prime price tag to boot.
The Sony DSLR-A330L is a ...

Sony has produced a lot of unusual camera models for our consideration, and they've given us a lot to look at up and down both lengths of the spectrum--they've given us fantastic cameras, and horrendous cameras. And they've given us cameras that can only be called a mix of both, which is exactly what we'll ...

Casio's Exilim line has proven to be very interesting to me in the past. I've seen them do some really great things and some less than great things, but I don't see very many of them. Thus, whenever I do come in contact with one, I'm always at least a little surprised. And that's where ...

New and exciting, ladies and gentlemen--I don't always get the chance to tackle very much that's new and exciting, especially since the camera market (including camcorders and the like) is largely dominated by a handful of names. So that's why I'm very excited to talk about a camera from an unlikely source, the Insignia NS-DSC1110A.
The ...

Admittedly, I've enjoyed a lot of what Canon has to offer in terms of compact digital cameras. There have been a proliferation of great models from them, but the biggest problem I've had with them--especially lately--is their value to the consumer. Well, today I'm tackling a Canon that doesn't have a problem at all with ...

Make no mistake--I love Canon hardware. Canon cameras do a terrific job for me and do so with controls that are, generally, easy to work with. Some Canons are better than others, of course, and not all of them represent the kind of value that you can get elsewhere. Today we're talking about a bit ...

Casio Exilims have a growing body of history on their side--and it's turned out that, for the most part, they've been solid examples of digital photography. Today we're talking about another model that will turn out to be another example of fine digital photography, the Casio Exilim EX-S5PE.
The Casio Exilim EX-S5PE is a ten megapixel ...

I'm a little dismayed, tackling the Sanyo VPC-S1085 camera today, because while there's no question that this is a good value, it may be just a little TOO bare bones for most users.
The Sanyo VPC-S1085 is a ten megapixel camera with 3x optical zoom, sixteen megs of onboard memory with memory card compatibility to add ...

Okay, this is a bit more like it. Oh, sure, the Sony Alpha A230 is still likely to have more gadgets than you'll ever comfortably need or use, but in all honesty, it's a lot closer to what you WILL use than the A330.
The Sony Alpha 230 is a ten megapixel camer with SteadyShot INSIDE ...

Canon gives me very little reason to complain about its hardware. Oh, sure, every so often I'll have a reason to kvetch about some fault or flaw--that happens. Very seldom will I find a poor value. And today's model of choice, the Canon SD 1200, is certainly not a poor value.
The Canon SD 1200 is ...
