If you have kids that like to watch and film home movies, but you don't want them messing with your real movie camera, why not get them a real (but kid-proofed) video camera of their own. Little Tikes has just the ticket for the budding director called the My Real Digital Video Camera that offers durability and some interesting features at the same time. Read on for all the details of the My Real Digital Video Camera....more

Some of our regular readers may know that I have made occasional references to my interest in photography. After a few years of letting work take over my life and getting by with nothing but my mobile phone camera, I finally decided on an entry-level DSLR to ease my way back into the hobby....more

When the heavily hyped, touch screen enabled Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX500 first appeared, I'll admit that I largely wrote it off as an exercise in novelty - an FX35 with a touch screen slapped on and little else to justify its significantly higher price tag compared to our March Editor's Choice winner. Scratch the surface, however, and it becomes apparent that Panasonic has slipped several upgrades into the FX500's sleek casing. ...more

The Fujifilm FinePix J10 is an affordable digital camera that will fit easily into almost any pocket. It will not overwhelm a beginner, yet it still includes many key features and an intuitive menu system. With this combination of features, usability, and an almost insanely low price, the slim J10 is somewhat unique in its field. All that's left to determine, then, is how it stacks up as a picture taking tool. ...more

There are a ton of digital cameras out there, and quite a few of them are competing with the Nikon Coolpix P60 for position at the top of the general-purpose compact camera heap. With a 5x Nikkor lens, an 8.1 megapixel sensor, image stabilization, and manual exposure controls, the P60 has a nice balance of features and size. Is Nikon's balanced approach enough to help the P60 come out on top? Let's find out....more

With the Canon SD850 remaining one of the most popular compact cameras out there, its follow-up model, the Canon PowerShot SD890 IS, had some big shoes to fill: preserving everything that the SD850 did well is almost as important in this case as pushing the envelope. With more resolution, a longer zoom, improved IS and auto focus systems, and a raft of new soft features, the "new tech" bases appear to be covered. The question, then, is whether the SD890 hangs on to enough of the older SD's form and function to strike that all-important balance....more

The Olympus Stylus 1030 SW definitely has the rugged qualities needed to fulfill its mission. If you need a waterproof, shockproof, coldproof, and crush-proof camera, it absolutely fits the bill and it even looks good doing it. Operationally, the camera works well and operates quickly, but could have better battery life and an easier user interface. ...more

Few camera companies seem to be creating waves with compact point-and-shoot cameras like Panasonic. Panasonic cameras are now widely respected thanks to Leica-branded lenses, combined with features, performance, and build quality that rival anything from Canon or Nikon. The new Panasonic Lumix DMC-LZ10 is a budget compact digital camera designed for ease of use and creative control for the least possible expense....more

With its long-running Rebel series of consumer DSLRs, Canon has earned a reputation for cranking out new models on a consistent timetable that are rarely revolutionary, and yet often set the pace for the entry-level market nonetheless. Sitting somewhere between a basic "true entry-level" model and an advanced-amateur camera, the new Canon Rebel XSi continues to push the resolution envelope, reprises the XTi's well-regarded auto focus system, and at once offers a fairly mature live view implementation aimed to entice shooters to step up from compact point-and-shoots. Expectations are always high for Canon, but early murmurs about class-leading sensor performance served up at the same list price as the previous generation XTi have made the XSi look more and more promising as the new consumer-grade DSLR standard bearer....more

The Panasonic Lumix L10 is a feature packed camera. The sensor has 10.1 megapixels and the image sensor is 17.3 x 13mm. The Lumix L10 stored images to SD, SDHC and MMC cards rather than the more expensive Compact Flash cards, which is nice. As you expect in a DSLR the lenses are interchangeable and the kit lens with the Lumix L10 I am reviewing here is a 14-50mm F3.8-5.6 unit with Panasonic's MEGA optical Image Stabilization built-in....more
