I get this question a lot: What’s the best DSLR on the market? In my opinion, the best DSLR is not the most expensive camera, nor is it the camera that features the most external chachkas and internal doodads. The best DSLR on the market is the one that suits you—the camera that fits your style of shooting to a T. This is my list. I’ve tested most of the cameras on this list, or their...

The Nikon Coolpix S1200pj digital camera is breed of its own, migrating a 20-lumen projector into its compact point-and-shoot body. Believe it or not, this is Nikon's third projector cam, and after a full testing phase, I can safely report that the S1200pj features the company's best projector to date. The projector's throw has been increased to 10 ft. (a 3 ft. boost from the S1100pj),...
For most people, their go-to point and shooter is their cell phone. It’s the reason why so many smartphone makers publish their camera specs. But which device has the best one? It can be tough to answer that, given how many different points of comparison can be made, but PCWorld rose to the challenge by conducting a side-by-side test, including current top-tier Android phones and the...
Today, Nikon yanked the cloak off of six new Nikon compact cameras, ranging from point-and-shoots to performance shooters, and finally to the company’s first rugged camera. The Nikon Coolpix P7100 is the long-awaited follow-up to last year’s Coolpix P7000 while the Nikon Coolpix S1200pj replaces the built-in-projector-capable S1100pj. We also get a chance to see Nikon’s first rugged...
Although university life can be exceedingly overwhelming, there are times when the homework well dries up and menacing free time taunts you with video games, frat house parties, and streaking. Well, someone’s got to document it, right? Maybe you have plans to be a photojournalist for the school newspaper, or just want to compile shots for a scrapbook reflecting on all of the stupid...
Has your Dad always dreamed of being Ansel Adams? Does your old man keep delivering subtle hints when he continuously mentions the fact that he lacks a decent camera to document the family properly? Are you tired of constantly hearing, “I want you to clean your room, get the picture!?” Well now’s your chance to chip in with a sibling or four and score Dad a bodaciously awesome camera...
It’s difficult enough to hunt for the right digital imaging equipment, but have you ever stopped and asked yourself “Who am I, Anyway?” I’m not inciting an existential match of Pong or launching into a Chorus Line number, but I think it’s imperative to figure out what type of shooter you are before you start making it rain over at the B&H counter. That’s why I’ve broken it down here...
At the beginning of this millennium, the thought of planting video within the digital camera landscape was a preposterous notion. Today, you’d be hard-pressed to find any gadget that is devoid of video. The standard at the moment is 720p, but 1080p will gradually take the throne later on this year. With a plethora of models to sift through, it is a daunting process when attempting to...
