First Impressions Reviews

	Nikon Coolpix S S710 First Impressions Review - A $379 point-and-shoot which boasts an awesome 14.5-megapixel resolution, 3.6x zoom lens and optical image stabilization. But just adding more resolution does not guarantee a winning camera.
	Canon PowerShot E1 First Impressions Review - A 10-megapixel point-and-shoot designed for a young audience, the camera's design features a lot of curves and rounded edges and comes in an array of pastel colors.
	Fujifilm FinePix S2000HD First Impressions Review - This $300 point and shoot is outfitted with 15x zoom and a smattering of features.
	Olympus SP-565 UZ First Impressions Review - It's not an SLR, but it sure feels like one. The SP-565 offers a full 20x zoom and great manual controls.
	Kodak EasyShare M1093 IS First Impressions Review - A 10-megapixel camera with a 3x optical zoom, it's the most expensive of Kodak's M-Series cameras at $199.95.
	Samsung TL34HD First Impressions Review - Samsung's new flagship point and shoot, with 14.6-megapixel resolution and a large 3-inch touch screen LCD.
	Casio Exilim EX-Z85 First Impressions Review - a new budget point-and-shoot camera, available in eight colors, this camera strikes us as being a good, entry level, low priced point-and-shoot.
	Kodak EasyShare Z1015 IS First Impressions Review - An affordable ultra-zoom point-and-shoot retailing for $299.95, a 15x optical zoom for that price is certainly a deal, and we're sure that many will be attracted by that feature alone.
	Olympus 1050SW First Impressions Review - The Olympus 1050SW lives for moderate danger; it is water, shock and freezeproof, so it can stand up to the rigors of a trip to the beach or an adventure in the snowy wastelands.
	Nikon Coolpix P6000 First Impressions Review - This advanced point and shoot has most of the capabilities of an SLR, but in a more compact format.
	Nikon Coolpix S60 Digital Camera Review - This camera boasts a handsome 3.5-inch touch screen LCD and is surprisingly easy to use.
	Canon PowerShot SD880 IS - The Canon SD880 IS is a 10MP compact point-and-shoot, small and cute, that will appeal to many who want a fairly easy to use compact camera.
	Pentax K2000 DSLR First Impressions Review - The K2000 kit will debut in November 2008 for $699.99, joining the already saturated DSLR market.
	Panasonic G1 First Impressions Review - Our exclusive hands-on tests with the first Micro Four Thirds camera reveal much to like in the new format, but we aren't sure who will buy it.
	Canon EOS 50D DSLR First Impressions Review - An upgrade to the 40D, it boosts resolution to 15.5MP, but keeps nearly the same 6 fps speed. In many ways, it's a slimmed-down version of the new 5D Mark II.
	Casio Exilim EX-Z300 First Impressions Review - This new $400 point-and-shoot has a 3-inch screen, 4x optical zoom, 10.1-megapixel resolution, and HD video.
	Canon PowerShot SD990 First Impressions Review - A 14.7MP camera with a 3.7x optical zoom that comes in at a hefty $399.99
	Sony A900 SLR First Impressions Review - This 24.6-megapixel SLR can shoot up to 5 frames a second at full resolution, but at just under $3,000, it is expensive
	Casio Exilim EX-FH20 First Impressions Review - With SLR-esque looks and a 40 frames per second capture mode, this $599.99 point-and-shoot is cheaper than the EX-F1.
	Canon Powershot SX10 IS First Impressions Review - This 10-megapixel point-and-shot has zoom power to spare with a 20x lens
	Canon Powershot G10 First Impressions Review - This sophisticated point-and-shoot camera will please advanced users, but may confuse new users.
	Canon 5D Mark II Digital SLR First Impressions Review - This update to the renowned D5 looks to continue the cameras great reputation as a workhorse shooter, while upping the resolution and adding high definition video capture.
	Pentax Optio E60 First Impressions Review - The new Pentax E60 sports an ultra-cheap $140 tag, with all the quality that you'd expect from a camera of that price.
