'The Nikon P7000 is a serious camera for those serious about photography but don't want to commit to a DSLR. '

'In our tests, the Nikon Coolpix P7000 also did the best job of in-camera editing: After snapping a shot, you can choose to have the camera automatically enhance the image via Nikon's Active D Lighting correction, Quick Retouch mode, or skin softening; and you can even apply filters such as a Miniature Mode setting.'

'Using the P7000 was an enjoyable experience for us.'

'high-performance digital camera'

'the camera feels fairly sturdy with the exception of the right side, which is capped by plastic with part of it being a door covering the mini HDMI and USB/AV port.'

'consumers a great compact camera'

'Screen brightness is manually adjustable (five steps), though even with the brightness maxed, there's too much glare off the display's coating to effectively use the camera in bright, direct sunlight.'

'Luckily, the T90 has more to offer than just widescreen-ready images. '

'pretty sleek looking camera'

'The T90's svelte body is available in a range of colors including pink, brown, blue and black.'

'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'

'The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T900 is immediately impressive.'

'good, fast snapshot camera'

'Easy navigation Sony has simplified the display of options on most of these cameras to make it easier for customers to use them.'

'if you want the convenience of AA batteries, an optical viewfinder, optical image stabilization, and a low price, this camera has them and takes good photos, too. '

'Shooting features remain strong on the A1100, however, and the camera is newbie-friendly.'

'The results were impressive, and the PowerShot A1100 IS proved itself as a compact that can handle a starry sky with a little help from a tripod.'

'Build quality is first rate'

'rugged shockproof, waterproof, and dustproof digital camera'

'manufacturer's first rugged, waterproof digital camera'

'Panasonic’s new Lumix DMC-TS1 rugged camera'

'near-perfect rugged camera'

'great camera'

'an "Easy" mode which reduces complexity of the on-screen information overlay and disables all external controls except for the shutter button, flash button and zoom lever.'
