'the PowerShot TX1 has few compelling advantages as a camcorder or a still camera.'

'At ISO 1,600, most fine detail is destroyed by the vast snowy blizzard of tiny speckles, and dynamic range is crunched to the point of obscuring most shadow detail.'

'The back of the TX1 looks quite strange with a memory card door taking up the bottom third of the back and buttons cluttering the top two-thirds.'

'the Kodak EasyShare C533 feels cheaply made, and its tiny LCD screen and crippled movie mode put the camera at a disadvantage'

'crippled movie mode.'

'no optical viewfinder.'

'It can also be a little tricky to operate the camera in near darkness as the mode dial is rather small and isn't mirrored on the LCD during operation.'

'the images were a little on the dark side and a little soft in some areas'

'Unfortunately, this camera's motion-picture features are particularly anemic: there's no microphone for recording audio, and resolution is limited to 320x240 pixels at 10fps or 30fps'

'flash coverage wasn't great, with significant edge falloff'

'True to the pro tradition of SLR design, the Nikon D2Xs is big and heavy.'

'Few manual settings'

'bad image writing lag outdoors'
