The Ultimate Cheap Camera Battlemodo

I have a confession to make: I've never owned a digital camera. I've played around plenty with friend's point-and-shoots, and I have picked up a DSLR on occasion too. But I never saw the point of paying $300 for something my iPhone could pretty much do well enough. Now that summer's coming up and the price of high-megapixel cameras is going down, though, I figure it might be time to pick one out for myself—on the cheap. Let someone else waste money, I want to know what's good at $150 and not a penny more. I'm gonna be picky: I only want a camera that can take shots that make me look like a photography genius while in truth I'm a photography dumbass, but still, the key is to keep the price down. I tried out five $150-and-under cameras, and here's what I found: More »

Canon PowerShot SD1100 IS: Entry-Level Elph Gets Image Stabilizer and Five Color Choices

Last year, Canon's entry-level Digital Elph was the 7-megapixel PowerShot SD1000. Priced at $250, it was thin and pretty but not quite a powerhouse. This year, the SD1100 IS adds image stabilization without growing more than a millimeter in thickness, and bumps the sensor up to 8 megapixels. More »

Canon Unveils PowerShot A720 IS and 12-megapixel A650 IS

Canon's two latest additions to its low-frills high-performance A-Series keep up the good reputation. The A720 IS is a 8-megapixel shooter with 6x optical zoom lens and optical image stabilizing that will cost a remarkably low $250. The A650 IS takes the spotlight, however, with 12.1 megapixel resolution, 6x optical zoom lens and a twisty 2.5-inch Vari-Angle LCD, all for $400. Both cameras use Canon's new DIGIC III engine for faster startup, smarter autofocus and less shutter lag. [Canon]

Canon PowerShot SD850 IS: New Digital Elph Will Recognize Your Face, Still Doesn't Look Like Liv Tyler

Another Canon PowerShot is on the streets.

Canon Powershot TX-1 Hands-On With 720p in the Palm of Your Hand

Our first encounter with the Canon PowerShot TX-1 was a jaw-dropping experience, when we realized exactly how small this itsy-bitsy HD video and 7.1 megapixel shooter really is. It's truly tiny, about the size of the deck of cards, and essentially has similar dimensions to Canon's previous generation of Digital Elph cameras. More »

Canon PowerShot TX1 Shoots 720p HD, 7.1MP Stills

Canon introduced its PowerShot TX1 digital camera, a multitasking little sucker that's about the size of a deck of cards. It can shoot both 7.1-megapixel stills and 720p high-definition video in 16:9 format at 30 frames per second, recording its image data on SD memory cards, higher-capacity SDHC cards, MultiMedia and MMCplus cards. It has an LCD viewscreen that swivels out like a camcorder, and uses an improved Digic III image processor that Canon says contributes to faster startup, improved image quality and extended battery life.

Canon Unveils High-End Cameras

Canon Japan has unveiled the addition of a couple new cammies to their already extensive line. First up is the A710 IS. The 710 is a 7.1-megapixel camera with a 6x optical zoom and support up to ISO800. It supports a variety of lens accessories. Also unveiled is the Canon PowerShot A640. This is a 10-megapixel camera with a 4x optical zoom, ISO800 and SDHC support. I wonder if these include stalker lens accessories. My ex-girlfriends somehow always find me taking pictures of them—maybe it is because I'm standing right outside their window. – Travis Hudson More »
