Hands-on with the Fujifilm FinePix Z200fd

Pentax K-m review

Reviews NegativesThe one real issue with this camera is the kit lens. The optical performance is no worse, thankfully, and to be fair the Canon 18-55mm kit lens and Sony’s 18-70mm are just as bad. ConclusionReally, though, the kit lens is the only thing...

Photos: Hands-on with the high-definition Canon HG21

Crave Up front we have a stereo microphone beneath the HG21's lens, as well as a lamp and flash for stills. 21 is the year you come of age. Can we draw a parallel between that and the coming of age of high-definition video?

Nikon D700 review

Reviews You can also reassign the depth-of-field preview button, which sits higher between the grip and the lens. There's a programmable function button between the grip and the lens that you press with your right-hand ring finger -- you can assign it from...

Olympus mju 1050SW review

Reviews PositivesStartup is easy -- you just slide back the lens cover to power up. The lens uses folded optics so it doesn't extend, which also means you can slip the camera back in your pocket temporarily without having to switch it off first.

Nikon Coolpix P6000 review

Reviews The Nikon's 4x zoom offers the equivalent of a 28-112mm, which is more than you get from the average dSLR's kit lens. Digital SLRs may be the big sellers in the enthusiasts' market, but there's still a lot to be said for well-specified compacts.

Samsung Pixon review

Reviews Unlike the Renoir though, the Pixon's lens cover opens and shuts automatically. Samsung's love affair with touchscreen phones has produced some gems -- and some stinkers. The latest direction both LG and Samsung are taking touchscreens is the high...

Nikon Coolpix S60 review

Reviews The 5x, f3.8-4.8, 33-165mm-equivalent internally zooming lens sits in the top-left corner on front, making it very easy to put your finger in the shot. However, the lens isn't very good. File the S60 in the 'ooh-ahh' category of ultracompacts: its...

Samsung NV40 review

Reviews The sleek lines, blue lens ring, and dual shoulder dials look great, but the ridge on the front sacrifices effective grip for aesthetic appeal. The 37mm wideangle, equivalent to a 35mm film camera, isn't anything to write home about, but it does...

Hands-on with the Ricoh R10: None more black

Crave The lens barrel is black. It boasts a 28mm wide-angle lens, equivalent to a 35mm film camera. Bow, mortals! Bow before the satanic majesty of the Ricoh R10, a camera as black as the depths of your soul.

Canon PowerShot SX10 IS review

Reviews The focal length markings on the lens are a bit pointless, and presumably they're just there to show off the camera's focal range. But the filter thread on the front of the lens is really useful -- this is actually one of the few compacts with...
