Hi, Chris!
I am writing to you for help! I have been searching the Internet for months and months, looking at a million different reviews, trying to compare, and trying to understand something I don’t really understand that well at all.
Can you help me?
I am desperately trying to find the best digital camera for […]

If you didn’t catch the recent conversation at Digital Media Thoughts on deleting digital photos, you might be missing out on some of the best reasons for dumping your duplicate photos. Chris weighed in with his opinion on the topic and I confessed to being something of a digital image packrat. As a result of […]

When we tested the S400 or IXUS 400 in October 2003 we mentioned that we had lost count on the number of Digital Elphs in existence at that time. Two years on, it is clear that it is not a question of how many more Elphs Canon will release but when the next one will […]

As one of the tiniest cameras Kodak have ever produced, the 5-megapixel EasyShare V550 is the top of the line in its Pocket Series cameras. Slimmer than a deck of cards with the jacks and queens taken out, this extremely pocketable camera sports an all-glass Schneider Kreuznach 36-108mm (equiv.) 3x optical zoom lens with aspheric […]

Getting the image you print to paper to look like the image on your screen can be a trick. Color matching from pixels to paper is never quite WYSIWYG. Monitor calibration plays a role in accurate color representation. Printer calibration plays a role and even the paper you choose makes a difference in determining what […]

Never one to do things by half, Nikon recently released not one but two digital SLRs. Last month we had the chance to try out the D70s - an updated version of the renowned D70 - and today we will find out what the Nikon D50 has to offer. Released as an entry-level model, its […]

When you step out into the great outdoors armed with a digital camera and a smile, sun block and mosquito repellant aren’t the only things on your required packing list. There are a few tricks to shooting photos outdoors that differ slightly from indoor photography you may be used to. I know most of my […]

Since the Canon Digital Rebel / EOS-300D revolutionised the DSLR market in 2003, the company has been working hard to improve on what was and still is a very successful DSLR. In the past year, several rivals from other well known brands have appeared, with the immensely successful Nikon D70 as their strongest competitor. Now […]

The latest addition to Casio’s expanding range of digital cameras is the Exilim Pro EX-P505. As a hybrid digicam it combines a 5-megapixel digital still camera with a video camera which is capable of shooting extended video scenes with high image quality. The camera features a 5x optical zoom lens (38-190mm eq.), a large 2inch […]

Robert Clark is taking pictures with a Sony Ericsson 5710a 1.3 megapixel cell phone.
With sponsorship from Sony Ericsson and
American Photo Magazine, he will travel the U.S. and Canada. The images
are posted in a flash animation gallery.

With a little one on the way and my increased media creation, I decided to dump my 2.1 Megapixel camera and jump up to the 7.1 range. After looking at many Web sites to determine my best tack, including Digital Photography Review , CNET, and www.digitalphotography.com, I was down to two brands: Canon or Nikon. […]

Several years ago I purchased my first ultra portable digital camera when I got a Canon S110. That camera traveled a large portion of the United States, snapping pictures along the way. The S110 is getting long in the tooth and it’s time to start seeking a new pocket-sized alternative. Small form factor digicams have […]

Olympus will probably go down in history as the company that dared to be different by introducing a completely new camera standard at a time when the digital camera market was already starting to show signs of becoming overcrowded. The FourThirds system, which was introduced as early as 2002 as a co-development between Olympus, Fuji, […]

Priced to compete with Canon’s Digital Rebel or EOS 300D, the Pentax *ist Ds was introduced in the run up to Photokina 2004. It is Pentax’s second digital SLR and it continues its position of having the smallest and lightest DSLR on the market today. The extremely compact *ist Ds features a 6.1 effective megapixel […]

More megapixels and a bigger digital zoom are what make digital cameras fly off the store shelves, but what I really want is a camera with a better response time. The lag between the time I press the button and the time a camera actually grabs an image can be infuriating. Even though I know […]

Earlier this year, Casio introduced the 4-megapixel Exilim Zoom EX-Z40, a thin-bodied digital camera with a large 2-inch TFT LCD screen. This successful model has now been followed up by the 5-megapixel Casio EX Z50 and Z55 models. Both of these cameras represent all the good qualities from the previous model, such as improved battery […]

As we have come to expect from most major manufacturers, the introduction of new features in the digital camera market necessitates an update of previous models. The same is true for Canon’s latest model in the G-series. After four very successful models - there never was a G4 - it is now time for the […]

So here we have it then, the first truly compact 7-megapixel digital still camera. With its own in-house developed 1/1.8 CCD, Sony has built on the success of the 5MP P100 to produce a basically similar camera with a higher resolution and a completely new CCD. We were very satisfied with the quality of the […]

Some researchers in the Netherlands created the largest digital panoramic
photo in the world. Could there be a new trend in making one’s own gigapixel photo?
The finished image is 2.5 billion pixels in size - making it about 500
times the resolution of images produced by good consumer digital cameras.
The huge image of Delft was created by […]
