Reviewed on April 27, 2009A top megazoom option, the Canon PowerShot SX1 IS offers a 20x zoom lens and HD video, which you can't get in a similarly priced dSLR, and delivers more features and slightly better performance and photo quality than the cheaper SX10 IS.TAGS:Canon PowerShot, Canon Inc., movie, LCD, aspect, SLR, button, setting, camera, photograph

Reviewed on May 26, 2009The Canon Pixma MX330 doesn't produce the best quality prints, but you won't find a more versatile printer in the sub-$150 category.

Reviewed on May 15, 2009If you're willing to pay a premium to be on the cutting edge of digital photography and video, and as long as you don't shoot sports or in dark venues, then you'll likely love the Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH1. But if you're simply attracted by the not-to-be-underestimated flexibility of interchangeable lenses with autofocus and depth-of-field control for video, wait for the price to fall a few hundred bucks.TAGS:Panasonic Lumix, AVCHD, lens, Panasonic, SLR, camera, movie, camcorder, setting, video, photograph

Reviewed on September 8, 2008The Samsung SyncMaster 2693HM proved itself to be an excellent overall performer, particularly during movie playback, and can be had for a fair price.
