Samsung has gotten a bad rap from me a lot of times, mostly because I often have a problem with their overly kittenish attempts at being "futuristic" with their controls.  But I've learned not to underestimate Samsung, because they often have a way of surprising you.  That's exactly what they'll do with the Samsung TL220. The ...

I'm really starting to develop a downright Pavlovian response to the combination of words "Sanyo" and "VPC", and every time I see them together I start snarling.  I have yet to encounter a GOOD Sanyo VPC that isn't either bargain-basement crapola or so overpriced for what you get that it's almost a joke.  Sadly, that's ...

I've often been quick to criticize the makers of compact digital cameras for their lack of any kind of quality zoom.  Especially when their ads go into polysyllabic ecstacies over how INCREDIBLE IT IS that their new camera boasts 5x optical zoom!  Yeah, 5x.  That and a magnifying glass might let me read the fine ...

The Canon Powershot SD780 IS is a twelve megapixel camera with a 3x optical zoom, ...

Putting just a little more ammo in the hands of those who think that color choices have absolutely NOTHING to do with the quality of the camera comes the Olympus FE-46, a solid little workhorse that does an excellent job without a whole lot of fanfare. The Olympus FE-46 is a twelve megapixel camera with a ...

I'm beginning to hate the entire Sony DSC lineup, because every time I get my hands on one I'm frustrated to the point of obscenities by these hard to use, clunky cameras that make way too many odd beeping noises at the worst possible times.  Today's victim is the Sony DSC S980, and it's no ...
