Best Digital Cameras - 0.48 to 1 lb. Weight, Atleast 5 Megapixel, Neck strap Included Accessories

'The grip-less camera feels surprisingly good in the hand, thanks to thoughtful ideas like a small but well placed  thumb rest on the rear panel.'

'carry-anywhere all-purpose camera'

'The best part about the Olympus XZ-1 was the fact that its image quality backed its hardware, and the camera proved itself a well-equipped tool that excelled when it came to manual controls.'

'Large image sensor'

'bright and clear to use, but with 115k pixels looks much coarser than the S5 IS's screen.'

'I found the camera and controls nicely fit my medium-sized hand'

'I was able to take 16 shots before the card was full.'

'The camera is fairly light for its size.'

'The camera is responsive with reasonably fast focusing even at the longest extension.'

'intuitive menus'

'The camera's feature set is quite robust and should suit people looking to upgrade from an old compact.'

'This black, sleek, digital camera has got smooth and modern lines that will keep it visually stunning for years.'

'Compared to other enthusiast's digital cameras on the market, it is relatively inexpensive at around $250..'

'best still images possible'

'Prosumer digital cameras are designed to appeal to photography enthusiasts and the Z812 IS lacks a custom/manual white balance mode – a feature lots of photography enthusiasts regard as essential.'

'The new video resolution is listed in the specs as 1024 x 720 pixels, and at 30fps this is an impressively high resolution for a still camera'

'All-in-all the EasyShare package is pretty darn good for bundled software, especially if you've seen the stuff that some other companies give you.'

'Plus, its relatively small size makes the Z712 IS one of the more portable superzooms out there'

'The Z712 IS looks like a professional camera'

'The system is extensive and very detailed.'

'This is a very nice camera for the beginner ready to jump up'

'The 18x super telephoto zoom gets you closer to the action than any compact digital camera on the market.'

'image stabilization, a decent movie mode, long battery'

'digital image stabilization and an amazing sensitivity range of 50 to 4000 ISO'

'competitive with some of the higher-end compact cameras.'

'the Canon PowerShot S3 IS's combination of features, performance, and relatively compact design certainly gives megazoomers a compelling alternative.'

'S3 shooters have a fast, accurate, and very quiet ultra-zoom digital camera that's capable of capturing reasonably sharp handheld shots at shutter speeds that are beyond the ability of other (non IS) long zoom digital cameras.'

'It offers just about everything you want in a camera, from a big zoom lens to optical image stabilization to manual controls to a fancy movie mode.'

'The S3 IS fit well in my hand and felt sturdy, though it's light and fairly compact.'
