Current Cameras We Recommend

In the table below, we will try and keep a running list of current cameras that we feel are good models in their respective categories. Our process for including a camera in this list is not at all scientific. We base our decisions on cameras we have personally used, or that have been used by colleagues whose recommendations we trust. If a camera does not appear in our list, it doesn't necessarily mean it's not a good camera, just that we have had no hands-on experience with it. This table is not meant to be a definitive up-to-the-minute survey of the newest cameras on the market (the market moves too fast for that), but we will do our best to update it every few months so that it is reasonably current.

We strongly recommend getting as much information as you can before buying a digital camera. Web sites such as DP Review, DC Resource, and Steve's Digi-Cams are good resources to help you in this endeavor.
