Just yesterday I was bemoaning the comparatively high price for the lack of capability in the Canon A3000. So today, I cover its direct descendant, the Canon A3100, and what I get here is a slightly higher priced model that offers quite a bit more in capability, bringing the value issue in line. The Canon A3100 ...
After covering several models in the Sony Cybershot lineup that had the number 3 right in their name, I was actually kind of surprised to discover that I had missed one, the low-end Sony W310. I think this may be the last one, unless there's a 390 lurking somewhere I haven't hit yet, or worse, ...
One of the biggest complaints that I've often had with compact digital cameras is that they're often a little TOO compact. Oh, sure, it's great to have a camera that you can carry around in a pants pocket--but you sacrifice so much in control, especially if you happen to have bigger hands. Nikon, however, appears ...
Canon offers up some truly excellent cameras--some more so than others, of course--and today's review target will manage to strike an excellent chord between quality and value. Today I'm talking about the Canon SD1300, and You'll definitely be surprised by what it has to offer. The Canon SD1300 is a twelve megapixel camera that offers a ...
It's easy to look at the Olympus 7010 and see some flimsy little camera that looks like it's not carrying much of anything at all. It's even easier to look at its somewhat high price tag and scoff and walk away, muttering blackly to yourself about overpriced garbage. But you'd be making a grave mistake, ...
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 ...
You heard about it here just a few days ago, folks, but the word has come back in grand style on the Olympus PEN E-PL1, and we've got pricing data. It's now available, and you can get your hands on one of these monsters for six hundred bucks. What do you get for your six hundred bucks, ...
Sony usually does a solid job with its cameras--camcorders included--so it won't come as a surprise for most of you for me to tell you that the Sony XR500V is very much a solid job. The Sony XR500v is a twelve megapixel camcorder with a built in one hundred and twenty gig hard drive capable of ...
It's always interesting to look at a camera line's upper end hardware. It actually seems kind of, well, DIFFERENT from the rest. Maybe it has a different design, or more buttons, or it just has that certain look to it that screams "you can't AFFORD me, dude". But regardless of what causes the reaction, it ...
Canon usually gives me reason to be happy. Usually the stuff they come out with is at least of passable quality, if nothing else. But today's item is a little different, in that it's of passable quality, but it's also kind of strange. Today we're talking about the Canon SD 980. The Canon SD 980 is ...
