Olympus's SZ-10 model has an 18x ultra-zoom 28-504mm equivalent lens, 3.0-inch high-resolution LCD screen, 720p HD video and 14-megapixel resolution.

This unit has been tailored with new magic art filters for stills and video (watercolor and sparkle mode), 3D photo mode (compiled by superimposing an image from two different angles) and eye-fi compatibility...

Just a year after the release of the Rebel T2i, Canon has put out yet another iteration on their EOS Rebel line with the T3i and T3 DSLR cameras.

For those looking to upgrade from the T1i or T2i, Canon has improved their T3i with 18-megapixel resolution, 3.7fps RAW shooting mode, and a 3-inch vari-angle, swivel LCD screen.

Compared to most point-and-shot cameras, Casio's new EX-ZR100 and EX-ZR10 models offer some new DSLR features.

The ZR100 has a 12.1-megapixel sensor and offers full 1080p HD, continuous autofocusing video—which can be shot in Casio's "slo-mo" mode. With a faster processor, the ZR100 can also capture up to 30 high-speed burst still images at 40fps; although in this mode, images will be reduced to 10-megapixel resolution...

A unique breed of rugged cameras, Panasonic's new 12.1-megapixel Lumix DMC-TS3 has been tailored to endure even more extreme outdoor conditions than prior models.

For example, Panasonic boasts that the TS3 remains waterproof up to approximately 40 feet (many comparable cameras can handle only up to 10 feet), is shockproof to approximately 6.6 feet, is freeze-proof to...

Samsung has launched the NX11, the latest addition to the NX interchangeable lens family. This new model will have three i-Function (iFn) lenses to choose from when it hits the market, a 18-55mm, a 20mm pancake and a 20-50mm zoom silver color lens.

With the i-Function lenses, users can quickly adjust fundamental camera settings—such as aperture, shutter speed, white balance, ISO sensitivity and focus—without having to look at the menu screen and reset the shot. For more intricate adjustments, users can still use the 3-inch LCD screen...

Nikon has announced the new Coolpix P300, Nikon's first compact digital camera to feature a super-fast, wide-angle, 4.2x Zoom-Nikkor glass lens (24-100mm, 35mm equivalent) with a maximum aperture of f/1.8 and full HD (1080p) video. The P300 also has a 12.2-megapixel backside illumination CMOS sensor and Expeed C2 image processing.

Fresh on the market, Olympus has created a new line of point-and-shoot cameras with the XZ-1 series. With a relatively large 10-megapixel sensor, a quicker image processor, and faster built-in lens, the XZ-1 has been marketed as the company's "premium" ultra-compact camera.

The XZ-1 houses an aiZuiko f/1.8-2.5, 6.0-24mm lens, which allows for better low light pictures. Combined with dual image stabilization, an autofocus illuminator and an ISO range from 100 to...

Adding the DSC-HX100V and DSC-HX9V models to its Cyber-Shot line, Sony has created two new compact cameras with 16.2-megapixel resolution, full HD 1080p recording and increased zoom functions.

The lenses (and resulting zoom range) differ between the two cameras. The HX100V houses a 27mm Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonar T lens with a 30x optical zoom, while the HX9V offers a 24mm Sony G lens with nearly half (16x) the optical zoom. Both lenses have been outfitted with optical steady shot technology, which uses a three-way shake cancellation for crisper images...
