- Fujifilm FinePix A500
- Casual photographers on a tight budget will appreciate Fujifilm's no-nonsense FinePix A500, a compact 5-megapixel snapshooter. Unfortunately, the camera's low price comes at a cost: a limited 3X zoom range, no manual controls, just four scene modes, and a tiny 1.8-inch LCD. It has no burst capabilities at all beyond...

- Canon PowerShot D10
- The PowerShot D10 comes across as one of the company's Digital Elphs in a fat suit--albeit a very protective one. Unfortunately, it's a suit you can't take off at the end of the day as you would with one of Canon's waterproof housings. But again, the extra layer keeps it...

- Tips for photographing fireworks
- Some of the most difficult events to shoot are fireworks displays. Even with automatic settings on a point-and-shoot camera, chances are very high that the photo will look dark, the fireworks will be blurred, the photo will look poorly composed, or all of the above.

- Canon PowerShot SX10 IS
- Photos:Canon PowerShot SX10 ISThough a 20x zoom lens may be yawn inspiring in these days of 24x and 26x lenses, I think 20x is plenty, and perhaps even a bit too long given the difficulty of making a good lens that can cover so broad a focal range as the...

- 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...
