    Nikon D40 DSLR is Tiny, 6MP, with 3200 ISO: Eeess Nice

    Nikon officially unveiled the D40 today, a new budget DSLR worth your attention. First off, they've stopped upping the megapixel count, and have left it alone with a 6MP CCD, which is fine, because I don't shoot above that anyhow for the web or personal images. Then it has a 3200 ISO rating making for terrific low light performance. Canon's competing Rebel XTi only goes up to 1600, for example, so the Nikon gets an extra stop. It'll shoot at 2.5 per second, and there's in camera retouching of red eye, shadow and highlight enhancement, and others. It uses SD cards, which is nice, because I've got a whole lot of em lying around. And the body itself is small, yet packs a 2.5-inch LCD. More »

    Casio Calms Quivering Hands with New Exilims

    We've always been fans of Casio's Exilim cameras (they're great cams for our Luddite family members) and now it seems Casio is updating the family with a 7-megapixel Exilim EX-Z7 and a 6-megapixel EX-Z6. Both cams are gonna be fitted with a 2.5-inch LCD and 3x optical zoom and if you have quaky hands like us, both shooters will also have anti-shake image stabilization built-in. Pricing hasn't been set yet, but we're already biased toward the EX-Z7. Take a look at the unborn EX-Z6 after the jump. More »

    Casio Exilim EX-Z500 Reviewed

    Listen up, you Gizmodo dorks. You may hold Casio near and dear to your hearts in the form of a calculator stored in a pocket protector, but Casio is punching you dweebs in the face—then taking a picture of it—with its line of EX digital cameras. This is the EX-Z500 reviewed by the crew over at TrustedReviews. It's an excellent compact camera that will fulfill the needs of any beginner photographer while also tickling the fancy of moderate-to-expert photogs. This is a 5-megapixel camera that features a 3x optical and 4x digital zoom. It has a 2.7-inch TFT LCD screen and a 1/2.5-inch CCD image sensor boasting 5.25 million pixels. Expect to pay around $350 to $400 for this, which may be a little high for a midrange compact camera. More »

    Phase One 39-Megapixel Camera

    Don't get me wrong, I've used my fair share of digital cameras in the past, but honestly, who the hell would ever need a 39-megapixel camera—except, of course, for VERY VERY detailed porn. More »

    Panasonic Lumix DMC LX1 Reviewed

    The LX1 is the first digital camera to offer a 16:9 widescreen aspect ratio. It also uses a 4x Leica optical zoom lens and we know how much you photogs love Leica with all of your heart. And there's even more! This camera is an 8.4 megapixel beast that is capable of recording movies at 30 frames per second. It is small, light and has a lithium ion rechargeable battery. All of this for just under $500. It's no DSLR, but this is a hell of a point and shoot camera for the average user. More »

    Nikon D200 Reviewed (Verdict: Pretty Rawkin)

    That Loch Ness of Digital SLRs, the Nikon D200, has finally emerged from the rumor swamp. This beast is a 10.2-megapixel professional camera designed for taking excellent quality pictures, as expected, but carries a bit of a steep pricetag at $1699. What do you get for that? A nice large 2.5-inch LCD display, 11 area Multi-CAM AF system, and 1005 pixel 3D matrix metering. It also features WiFi transmission options and Nikon s i-TTL Creative Lighting System. Into action photography? 5 frames per second high-speed continuous shooting is part of the package. The D200 doesn't feel like a cheap Fisher Price toy and has rugged, solid construction made from magnesium alloy. Overall, it's a pretty sexy camera with a high price tag that will keep you satisfied for awhile. More »
