Do you dream about a digital camera that is powerful enough to take sharp photos but small enough to shove inside your pocket? Well it’s time to wake up and buy a Canon S90 because this is your best option. This camera is one great alternative to the rather expensive DSLRs. It even has digital noise reduction and can even detect faces! Who would expect that in a sub compact camera? Well digital camera enthusiasts would surely expect that somehow but hey, if you haven’t found the right camera for you just yet, maybe this one will fit the bill.

Kodak has been producing one of the most affordable digital cameras lately but did not get the respect it deserves because many of their models looked like toys and were easy to break. Just recently however, the company started making solid models such as the Kodak Z950. One of the hippest cameras ever produced by Kodak is Kodak Slice. This rather stylish digicam is so user friendly and it makes taking photos and sorting images a breeze. According to owners of the Slice, it is not just a camera because it also functions like a photobook. Cool, eh? There are a few haters here and there though but if you want a cool gizmo that will not make you break the bank, then Kodak Slice is the camera for you.

Panasonic’s new FH20 bagged this year’s Consumer Camera award making it a real favorite among those who are fond of affordable yet powerful digital cameras. Although many people think that Canon and Nikon are the most reliable cameras one can get, there are always a few Panasonics that make it to the top and the FH20 is one great example. The new Lumix model lives up to the expectations of camera enthusiasts.

Slim and lightweight, the FH20 has become an all-time favorite among those who always travel and it does not look too fragile too. This camera offers many Scene modes including those with rather uncanny titles. Although many of its users are not sure what these scenes truly do to make the end product a lot better, it is still a fun way to use the FH20.

Performance and image quality wise, this baby is very powerful and the low light images are truly exceptional. What’s not to love?

You have seen the Canon EOS Rebel already. In fact, this camera has been discussed lots of times and it is getting lots of airtime online as well thanks to Canon’s marketing team and the camera’s capabilities.

This is a favorite among those who love to watch television because of its many TV ads. This is a digital SLR camera armed with a 3 inch LCD screen and EF-S 18055mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Lens.

Although this particular camera from Canon is deemed to be the most popular Canon model these days, other Canon cameras are doing great as well.

In fact, according to a study done by the uber popular photo sharing website Flckr, Canon is truly the no.1 camera brand that Flckr users use.

Take a look at the statistics:

Do you want to know the top 3 cameras for 2010? There are lots of digital cameras to choose from but when it comes to the nitty gritty, these 3 cameras are the best:

No.1 in the list is Nikon’s D300S. This baby includes high definition video capture and takes 10.2 megapixel images. This Nikon is easy to handle but if you are not fond of carrying big cameras, this one is not for you.

The second in the list is the very handy Canon SX200 IS. This is a pocket size digital camera that has 720 HD video recording. The images it takes are 12.1 megapixels CCD –good enough for a small cam you can fit in your pocket or purse.

Canon’s Powershot G11 is the third on the list. Armed with 5x optical SOMM, a flip out LCD screen and 10 megapixels high sensitivity system, this digital camera is quite powerful. The only drawback is, it does not look stylish.

If you are a digital camera enthusiast, you must have heard about the Lego digital camera released by Digital Blue already.

It has a 3 megapixel sensor much like your old late 90s camera, 4x digital zoom and an LCD display of 1.5 inches. Its internal memory is not as amazing as its looks because it only has 128MB.

Finally, Sony spills the beans on their new addition to their entry-level DSLRs and it is official news! Following the rumors and information leaks about Sony’s new babies, it has recently debuted their upgrade to their existing line of entry-level cameras. One such camera is the new Sony Alpha A290.

For the people who want more control over how they take photos and want to move up from simple point-and-shoot, the Sony Alpha A290 could just be what you need.

With full manual capability and the ability to change lenses like a DSLR, but still retain the simplicity of operation as that of a point-and-shoot is one of the winning features that the A290 has. And as an update to the older A230, the A290 has been slightly beefed up with other features and hardware changes.

From the A230’s 10 mega-pixel censor, the A290 is loaded with a significantly-larger 14.2 mega-pixels CCD sensor. Button layout has been simplified, along with a new grip design for better handling and aesthetics.

With these upgrades in the internals and the externals, the A290 also comes with new connectivity functions. The A290 allows you to directly sync it with a Sony Bravia TV for a full, high definition playback. The A290 also boasts an Eye-Start feature which activates the auto focus function when it senses the user’s eye on the viewfinder.

If you are totally new to the DSLR world, the transition is made easier with the A290 with its graphical display to assist you in identifying the camera’s functions and features.

So far, the prices for the new A290 has not yet been officially released by Sony, but the buzz is saying it would be selling around the 500-dollar mark. Not such a bad price for an entry-level DSLR.

Pentax 645 is one of the most renowned piece of photographic equipment – a camera sought after by the worlds best outdoor photographers. A system that dates back to 1984, it was the first ever multi-mode, medium-format camera. It boasted the best and the most advanced of the era’s SLR technology in a compact body. The 645N was later introduced with a manual focus feature and later with the 645NII, and also with the production of interchangeable lenses from Pentax and third-party manufacturers. And in the onset of the digital revolution, this famous camera system joined the ranks in the digital market. The Pentax 645D was finally released and is loaded with today’s DSLR features and, still, maintaining its medium-format camera.

The 645D is armed with a large, 40 mega-pixel sensor (44mm by 33mm) that delivers sharp, high-resolution images, something that is only seen on professional DSRLs. Couple this image sensor with a newly-developed 77-segment metering system, 11 high-precision wide-frame AF sensor, you will surely get the most accurate shots with the 654D.

Get more control over your images with the 654D. A feature incorporated in this digital medium-format camera is a custom image function. Adjust color saturation, hue, contrast -the usual customizable settings in a camera. Also, with 8 modes of presets already built into the camera, you can choose how your images will turn out. Included in the 8 modes is -a first- the Reverse Film mode which simulates the effect of a film exposed on its reverse side.

All these features and more are all bundled in a sealed, compact, and durable body made from aluminum and magnesium. So durable, in fact that it can withstand temperatures as low as -10 degrees celcius. The 645D’s LCDs are also protected by tempered glass to protect against scratches.

Panasonic has recently unveiled the new additions to their Lumix G series. The Lumix is a micro four thirds camera, also known as a point-and-shoot camera designed with the aspiring yet less tech-savvy photographer in mind. With a sturdy body just like that of DSRLs,  micro four thirds cams are slightly smaller and slimmer because of the lack of a mirror that are present in digital single lens reflex cameras.

The G10 is an upgrade to Panasonic’s earlier models, the G1 and G2. The G10 allows a wide array of functions found in a DSLR in a novice-friendly design. The G10 sports a 12.1 mega-pixel sensor. Although not so large as the others in the market, the G10 allows for a full 1024 by 720 HD video capture -a feature that can be commonly seen only in expensive digital SLRs.

The G10 is slightly pricier than most micro four third cameras, but with the addition of a 14-42 mm kit lens, it is a bargain considering that it allows you to attach other lenses depending on your preference. Feature-wise, the G10 is loaded to the teeth. It is equipped with an AF tracking that allows easy focusing on moving subjects, and custom color modes. The lens, too, is also equipped with an image stabilizing feature to reduce image blur caused by vibrations or camera shake.

Do you want a sturdy yet handy camera for the road? Panasonic’s newest Lumix the DMC-TS2 is the answer. This waterproof, dustproof, shockproof and freezeproof camera is the best company for a road trip or adventure. It can withstand the elements without compromising quality. The rigors of the real world will surely devastate the capacity and the capability of a regular digital camera but not the Lumix DMC-TS2. With a zoom that can go from 28 to 128mm, and a strong megapixel sensor, the digital camera has a body that is designed to take a beating. Cool, right? For those looking for a 100% rugged digital camera, this newest model from Panasonic is the camera to buy.
