Panasonic SDR-SW21 Waterproof Camera Non-Review: NO NO NO NO NO!

This camera doesn't deserve a review; it deserves a warning. It is one of the most expensive rugged cams, but takes only 640x480 SD video and 0.3MP stills as bad as the worst camphones. Miserable! More »

Canon Powershot D10 Waterproof Camera Review: Dive, Dive, DIVE!

The Canon Powershot D10 will never, ever fit into a pocket unless you are MC Hammer, circa 1990. That's because it houses a telescoping lens in a bulging case, making it look like a sub. Still, shots are pretty. More »
