Canon PowerShot D20 Review: Tough Camera, Weak Performance

Last month we tested the best rugged, waterproof cameras and picked a winner. “But what about the new Canon?” everyone screamed. Fear not.

Canon Powershot S100 Lightning Review: One Hell of a Camera, One Hell of a Flaw

The Canon S100—like its S-series predecessors—is an almost perfect compact camera with some drawbacks stemming from its pocket-friendly size. There’s a lot of crazy tech on board. The Canon gods have outdone themselves; but that outdoing might be the camera’s undoing. Why it matters Enthusiast camera, meet the rest of the world. The S100 wants…

Canon PowerShot S95: Our Favorite Point-and-Shoot Gets 720p Video

The PowerShot S90 is our longstanding favorite point-and-shoot, and one of its few shortcomings was that it couldn’t do HD video. The updated S95 shoots 720p video and does it in a slightly smaller body. https://gizmodo.com/canon-s90-review-itll-never-leave-my-pocket-except-wh-5393112 In addition to bringing the 720p HD video people have long been clamoring for, the S95 features an in-camera…

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. The Price: $329 The Waterproof-ness: Good down to 10 meters, making it suitable for light diving…

Hands On Canon’s Other New Digital Cameras: Man, the G11 Is Huge

Here’s the rest of Canon’s new army of cameras—they don’t do anything crazy, like project baby photos or have an LCD up front take pictures of yourself, but they’re not too shabby. The G11 is ginormous, though. https://gizmodo.com/in-the-nikon-s1000pj-future-there-is-no-escape-from-ba-5329619 The G11’s vari-angle screen seems plenty bright, but it makes an already huge camera even huger when…

Canon PowerShot S90 Pro Point-and-Shoot: Yes Pleeeeease

I thought Canon’s new G11 pro point-and-shoot—decked out with everything but HD video, depressingly—would make me drool the most, but I was wrong: Canon’s pocketable pro point-and-shoot, the S90 is fapfreakintastic.
