Top 10 Digital Cameras
PCWorld.com | at | by Rod
Three new cameras make it into the Top Ten, including one with the best image quality we've seen so far. Olympus's D-40 zoom leads our new chartmakers this month, landing at number six. It's easy to take with you and has a long battery life. Canon's PowerShot S40 takes eighth place. The S40 has the best image quality we've seen so far, keeping even the smallest details sharp. In ninth, Nikon's Coolpix 885 is compact, and its lithium batteries lasted an impressive 373 shots. Image quality, however, was mediocre, and the controls are confusing. Just missing the chart, Ricoh's Caplio RR1 has an unusual, long, thin body and a pop-up LCD viewfinder that swivels all the way around.
