Best Digital Cameras - 380 to 730 Images Battery Life, Under $450

'The Pentax K-S2 is an attractive option for photographers who don't put an emphasis on video capture.'

'The company may not have the clout of Canon or Nikon, but this camera deserves to win Pentax a few new fans.'

'Lots of fine-tuning options for a prosumer model. '

'a broad feature set'

'world’s smallest, lightest interchangeable lens camera'

'extremely capable camera'

'Despite rife competition, this Sony still manages to offer ample appeal despite a couple of bumps in the road along the way.'

'fantastic travel camera'

'If this wasn't enough, the SH-2 also allows you to record silent high-speed movies for slow-motion playback. '

'decent compact system camera'

'The Samsung NX100 digital camera has a 14.6-megapixel resolution and combines professional image quality with some features that make the camera really easy to use without actually being a professional. '

'Samsung's made a number of minor tweaks to the software allowing a greater degree of customisation, while the camera and two new kit lenses debut the company's new i-Function feature.'

'highly desirable camera'

'The White Balance control on the camera was very impressive.'

'It's great for shooting rooms, landscapes, and portraits, but it falls short in the telephoto department, making the Panasonic LX3 a difficult choice for an all-around camera, unless you're used to short to medium focal lengths.'

'perfect compact camera'

'Activate the Olympus E-420 and you're ready to shoot in an instant.'

'This camera succeeds the E-410 and carries with it the legacy of being extremely portable.'

'Some of the changes and enhancements seem to compensate for the white-balance and exposure problems we encountered with the older model, such as the new Shadow Adjustment Technology and improved white-balance algorithms.'

'the E-420 is ready to meet the challenge.'
