Canon PowerShot A700

Like its stablemate, the PowerShot A540, the compact Canon PowerShot A700 offers abundant manual controls, respectable image quality, and acceptable ISO 800 performance. Either camera should appeal to enthusiast photographers or serious beginners who want some control over exposure and focus. But the A700's biggest edge is its 6X zoom...

Canon PowerShot A530

Though the Canon PowerShot A530 is a modest 5-megapixel step down from its 6-megapixel sibling, the PowerShot A540, it still has almost all of the same handy features. Unfortunately, it lacks the zippy performance and the large LCD that help elevate the A540 above the crowd.The PowerShot A530's plastic body...

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-S750

It's hard to criticize a camera that retails for less than $130. You simply can't expect greatness at that price point, and while a low-priced model will likely excel at something, it's inevitably because other things were sacrificed. Such is the case with Sony's 7-megapixel Cyber-shot DSC-S750, which ponies up...

Gadget nostalgia: Five things I had and five things I have now

Canon PowerShot A580

In general, it's best not to expect too much from a budget camera: the 8-megapixel Canon PowerShot A580 exemplifies this philosophy. Sure, it's got a clunky design, feels cheap, and doesn't have all the latest features (in fact for about the same price or a little more you can get...

Nikon Coolpix P80

For megazoom shooters, the Nikon Coolpix P80's 18x zoom, 27-486mm-equivalent f/2.8-4.5 lens likely sits at the top of the list of the P80's attractions. The range provides a good combination of wide-angle and telephoto views at relatively wide maximum aperture values. Nikon supports the lens with an agreeable and functional...

Nikon Coolpix S600

I admit to having mixed feelings about the Nikon Coolpix S600. On one hand, it's a very attractive-looking ultracompact capable of producing pretty 10-megapixel photos. But on the other, it's a tad slow and underfeatured with an occasionally annoying interface. Nor is it priced aggressively enough ($150 or less) to...
