PC Magazine Announces: Your Digital Camera Guide for the Holidays
 

One of the most popular wishlist items boasts one of the most dizzying array of choices. That's right, we're talking about digital cameras, and someone you know probably wants one. Never fear: allow PC Magazine to be your guide:

Digital Cameras Survey
It all comes down to the big three: Canon, Nikon, and Panasonic. Read this guide before you buy anything.

Review Roundup: Most Innovative Digital Cameras
These pioneering innovative cameras each have a novel feature which sets them apart from the pack. .

Cheap Clicks
It's no secret that prices for expensive, full-featured digital cameras have dropped dramatically in the past year. What you may not realize is that prices for cameras at the bottom of the market have dropped as well, making it an ideal time to snap up a cheap point-and-shoot.

Buying Guide: Digital SLRs
In general, digital SLRs have more features, higher megapixel counts, and larger sensor sizes than their point-and shoot counterparts do. But do you really need one? Read on.



Here are three Editor's Choice digital cameras that will please everyone from budding hobbyists to professional photographers:

Canon PowerShot A630

The 8MP Canon PowerShot A630 may be a bit bulky for a compact
camera, but the great physical controls and easy-to-use features will appeal to those who appreciate a variety of settings to capture their photos. It boasts a big, bright articulating 2.5-inch LCD; easy-to-use manual controls; a direct-vision viewfinder; 4X optical zoom, and lots of manual controls. Our current lowest listing is $241.
(Prices subject to change)

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ7


The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ7 is a 6-megapixel camera with an outstanding 12X optical zoom. The lens has a 6mm to 72mm range (equivalent to a 35mm lens with a 36mm to 432mm zoom) and corresponding maximum f-stops of f/2.8 to f/3.2. The aperture range is quite nice for the telephoto end of the zoom. That means you'll have a better chance of capturing a sharp picture in low light when using the zoom. We have it listed for as little as $250, a drop from $400. (Prices subject to change)

Fuji FinePix E900


With its high megapixel count and sophisticated imaging system, many photo enthusiasts -- even pros -- will enjoy the little Fuji FinePix E900 compact digital camera. It features large file sizes for cropping and large prints, natural light mode for flash-free shots, RAW file capabilities, and a glass viewfinder. Perhaps best of all, it uses easy-to-find double-A batteries. You can have it now for $256, a drop from $500. (Prices subject to change)
