Top 5 Digital Camera Reviews for Canon, Nikon, Panasonic, Sony and Olympus

For breathtaking single lens reflex images and ease of operation that even a novice can handle, the Nikon D3000 is the camera to beat. With an awesome 10.2 mega pixel imaging sensor, you can take clear, crisp and gorgeous photos that print up to 20x30 inches - incredibly true and detailed!

The D3000 is a compact camera that comes with a nice set of features that rival any camera in its class so you can capture all the best moments in your life - family times, fantastic sunsets, sports, a child's first portrait or his first look at the tree on Christmas morning. Nikon digital cameras won't let you miss a thing.

The Nikon D3000 has a 3-inch LCD monitor and pinpoint accurate 11-point autofocus. The Nikon EXPEED processor handles image processing, and 3D Color Matrix Metering brings forth rich, full color in precise detail. You can even retouch photos with built-in retouch functions! If you want a camera that gives you crisp photos that capture the moment every time, check out the Nikon D3000.

The reviews are in and it's agreed that the Olympus Evolt E520 camera is a winner. Happy Evolt photographers have given Evolt E520 the following praise: "Color is great, clarity is great..." and " It is sturdy, good looking, flexible and efficient." This Olympus digital camera is perfect as a high-end entry-level camera, delivering breathtaking photos with clarity and definition.

One of the neatest things about this camera is its Image Stabilization technology, which is built right into the camera. This lets photographers capture shots without blur, even at slow shutter speeds, and Autofocus Live View keeps the focus sharp whether you're taking landscape, portrait or even macro shots.

The Olympus Evolt E520 is one of those cameras that is great for beginning photographers, but that even experienced photographers can appreciate. Either way, it produces great results!
 

The award winning LUMIX G series of Panasonic cameras has added the LUMIX DMC-GF1 to its list of compact and lightweight digital cameras. Looking a bit like the film cameras of the old days, the Panasonic DMC-GF1 is user-friendly and offers some features that other cameras in its class don't.

For many photographers, the lure of the LUMIX DMC-GF1 is in its compact size, despite the fact that it has interchangeable lenses and digital SLR performance that is fantastic. This camera's autofocus is lightning fast and its handling is impeccable - it's the perfect mixture of point-and-shoot and DSLR. Plus, you get great color, and the ability to take HD movies  - what could be better?

Possibly the best feature of this camera is that it is compact and ready to go anywhere. This means that you don't have to struggle with a big, clumsy piece of equipment just to get an awesome shot. Panasonic digital cameras all have this same quality.
 

The Sony Cybershot DSC-HX1 isn't technically a camera for the "pros", but considering all it does, and how well it does it, it could easily be used and loved by a pro! There are so many great features to this camera, from the 9.1 MP CMOS image sensor, to the professional quality G-lens (the same type of lens used in top-notch DSLR cameras), to the BIONZ image processor, which gives you super-fast performance and fantastic resolution.

You'll find the Cybershot DSC-HX1 to be a top competitor among cameras and you'll notice it's a top seller among all of the Sony digital SLR cameras, too.

Try the Sweep Panoramic Mode for stunning panoramic photos of up to 224 degrees. It's perfect for catching the brilliance of a mountain range, a sweeping beach, or a towering tree, all in one perfect shot! And handheld Twilight Mode gives you sharp night shots without a tripod. This Sony Cybershot camera's just what's needed for the shots you want!
