Pros: Terrific ergonimics, outstanding picture quality, versatile controls
Cons: AA batteries (personal pref), no RAW mode

Pros: 10x Zoom Lens, Compact Body, Fun Photo Modes, 6MP sensor
Cons: Minor build quality issues, Poor Movie mode, NO Manual controls, ease of use issues

Strangely enough... despite all the digital cameras I've bought through the years, I still have the CoolPix 995 in my collection. I still use it every now and then... ya, really. The 995 was a pretty sturdy camera as well. I feel a tinge of guilt ...

Pros: Great pictures, high battery life, swivel screen, great movies, high resolution. GREAT PRICE.
Cons: (These are negligible:) Large file sizes, you’ll need more flash cards. None serious.

First, this review won't be going into all the technical comparisons to other cameras - there are other reviews that do that better than I could, so I'll be sticking to why I've found this to be the best camera for me (and hopefully others) after using ...

Cons: Some redeye, 3x zoom, autofocus a tad slow, USB 1.1, start up 2.5 seconds

Pros: Pretty Case, Compact Flash
Cons: Ergonomics, Options Wheel, Screen, Photoquality, Viewfinder Location

If was with the worst timing possible that my Canon A75 failed. I had a trip for Switzerland departing less than two weeks when my previous Canon gave up the ghost, one month out of warrantee. Being that I live in a remote part of Great Britain, and ...

Pros: First class pictures. Comprehensive features that allow user creativity. Articulated LCD. Price.
Cons: AiAF a bit slow. Software average.

After reading a number of reviews of digicams around the £200 mark, I decided on the A95 due to it's impressive range of manual options and the reputation Canon have for quality. (This despite the "E18" scare)I wanted a camera I would be able to learn ...

Pros: as above
Cons: as above

Canon A95 Canon's A95 is another mixed bag from Canon. It's main goal is to try to be a G series camera for 300.00. In this regard it falls short in both speed and sharpness, but not by much. As with all P&S cameras of any price, the A95 poses quite a ...

Pros: Easy to set for your shooting environment, Clear, vivid shots
Cons: None really, just smaller would be nice but with AA's its tough

I purchased this camera for my wife to replace a 3 yr old Nikon Coolpix 800. What a world of difference the 2 cameras are. I very rarely ever have to correct any of exposures taken with the Canon. It has a multitude of different programs which ...

Pros: small, sleek size, swivel lens, great low lit shots
Cons: crap lens cap, few hard buttons, offcentre directional button, blurry flash photos, not enough control

I didn't realise until I number-rated this camera on another site how disappointed I was with this camera. I've had 4 coolpixes now (all swivel lens) (the 2500, 4500, s4, and now the s10) and I think I liked the first 2, esp. the 4500, the best. ...

Pros: Plenty of manual settings, excellent quality photos
Cons: Purple Fringing and ISO noise at 200/400

Cons: - fairly large - small zoom range

My 4th Canon, and still happy. My first camera was a Canon TX, a basic SLR film camera. I had a lot of fun with it in school (25 years ago!) and it took great pictures. Many years later, I replaced it with a Canon Rebel SLR film camera. Again, I ...

Pros: 12x digital zoom, 14 different shooting modes, 5MP
Cons: Decreased quality in image on LCD flip screen, size of screen, repair department of Canon

Body is a bit heavy, especially with 4 batteries, and awkward feeling...especially when using the zoom in and out function. Buttons could also have been a little better placed. Flip screen is a plus, most of the time, if it weren't for the sharp ...
