Cons Needs to be upgraded right out of the box

I enjoy taking pictures of family and friends on special occasions, and of just about everything when I?m traveling. Aside from that, I rarely lug a camera around for no reason at all. I received the Canon Elph Power Shot 100 Digital camera for a birthday gift recently, and I barely put it down... Read full review »

The Canon PowerShot S100 is a Pocket Digital Camera!

Pros Easy to use and produces excellent photos!
Cons The CompactFlash card is too small!
Recommended it? Yes

This is truly a pocket camera about the size of a credit card just thicker in size than a credit card. It measures 3.4 inches wide x 2.2 inches in height x 1.1 inches thick.

This is a 2.11-megapixel (2.11 million-pixel) digital camera that can take photos as large as 1600 x 1200 of... Read full review »

Pros Small size, good battery life, good shots can be really clear
Cons Focusing problems, steeper learning curve than competing brands, xD cards are slow
Recommended it? Yes

The specifications of the Olympus SP-550UZ wowed me from day one. I mean, 18x optical zoom? Compact? ISO 5000? And a relatively low price to boot? What's not to like?

Variously, very little, and a lot. The Olympus SP-550UZ is my third Olympus camera, so I consider myself reasonably... Read full review »

We got this camera 3 years ago and it is still going strong. I have even dropped it by accident a couple of times in fear but it didnt damage anything at all and it still works great. It has 7.1 megapixels which is decent. We paid $400 for this camera and I feel the money was well spent. The 8X... Read full review »
