Sony’s Underwater Cybershot TX200V Is The iPhone’s Fat, Photo-Taking Cousin

7:00AM January 31, 2012 | Kyle Wagner

Sony’s new glass-faced TX200V is a decidedly opulent stab at something we’ve been asking for around here: a waterproof camera that doesn’t sacrifice optics and design. It’s just that it does it at a pretty painful price point. More »

I Don’t Think I Want Polaroid’s Android Point-And-Shoot Camera Yet

3:00PM January 11, 2012 | Mat Honan

Polaroid is trying to stay relevant in the digital age with a camera that’s an Android mashup with a 3x optical zoom, 720p video, a 16MB sensor and, well, a lot of head scratch. More »

Canon G1 X Hands-On: This Is Not Your Dad’s Point-And-Shoot

9:15AM January 11, 2012 | Kyle Wagner

Canon’s G1 X is kind of a ridiculous camera. It’s a point-and-shoot, but it has a bigger image sensor than most of the mirrorless interchangeable lens cameras out there. And it’s $US800, so it costs more too. More »

Canon Powershot S100 Review: One Hell Of A Camera, One Hell Of A Flaw

7:30AM November 11, 2011 | Mario Aguilar

The Canon S100 — like its S-series predecessors — is an almost perfect compact camera with some drawbacks stemming from its pocket-friendly size. There’s a lot of crazy tech on board. The Canon gods have outdone themselves; but that outdoing might be the camera’s undoing. More »

Lunchtime Deal: Harvey Norman Digital Cameras BOGOF

12:30PM October 27, 2011 | Alex Kidman

I’ve got two hands, so I guess at a pinch I could use two digital cameras simultaneously, but that’s probably not the point of Harvey Norman’s Buy One Get One Free (BOGOF) sale, which will give you a second digital camera free from a selected range when you buy one. You’ve got to look over the site carefully for the models with the red “bonus” label, but there’s a range of models on offer — but point and shoot only; cameras with removable lenses are specifically exempt.

18x Optical Zoom In An Itty Bitty Point-And-Shoot

12:32AM September 14, 2011 | Kyle Wagner

Point and shoots are generally seen as the wimpy hacks of the camera world, when compared to modern DSLRs and fancy new Micro Four Thirds cameras. But their specs — like the 18x optical zoom on the Pentax Optio RZ18 — are getting pretty impressive. It’s like when Carrot Top grew mega-muscles and could all-of-a-sudden kick your arse. More »

Canon PowerShot S95 Point-And-Shoot Gets 720p Video

2:34PM August 19, 2010 | Kyle VanHemert

The PowerShot S90 is our long-standing favourite point-and-shoot, and one of its few shortcomings was that it couldn’t do HD video. The updated S95 shoots 720p video and gets a slightly slimmer body. More »
