Fujifilm FinePix S9100 Review
Wednesday, November 8th, 2006At the top of Fujifilm’s line of consumer cameras sits the FinePix S9100, a 9-megapixel superzoom with a 10.7X optical, 28mm-to-300mm (35mm equivalent) f/2.8-to-f/4.9 zoom lens, and more features than you can shake an ultracompact at. But even with all those features, it is missing a very important one: image stabilization. Fuji talks big about [...]

Canon PowerShot SD900

With a 10-megapixel sensor that can hit as high as ISO 1,600 sensitivity, the SD900 can shoot large photos even in low light. Unfortunately, it lacks the SD800 IS’s optical [...]
