Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T90 Review
My Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T90 review reveals a good-looking digital camera with a handy and large touch-screen LCD. If it gave beginning photographers a little more control over the shot and if it had a slightly lower price, the DSC-T90 would receive a very high rating.

Fujifilm FinePix A220 Review
This review of the Fujifilm FinePix A220 camera shows a entry-level camera that won't appeal to anyone but those new to photography or children. If you want an extremely easy to use camera, the A220 deserves consideration.

Digital Blue U-Turn Camera Review
My Digital Blue U-Turn camera review shows a fun digital camera aimed at children. The U-Turn camera has some interesting features and its image quality is good for a children's camera.

Digital Blue Lego Camera Review
This Digital Blue Lego camera review reveals an interesting-looking digital camera aimed at children. Unfortunately, this camera's looks represent its best feature. It's easy to use, but image quality is poor.

Samsung DualView TL225 Review
My review of the Samsung DualView TL225 camera shows a camera that has strong photography features to match its cool look. A 3.5-inch touch screen LCD on the back and a 1.5-inch LCD on the front give the DualView TL225 a unique look that's also practical.

Nikon D5000 DSLR Review
This review of the Nikon D5000 DSLR camera reveals a very strong DSLR camera for those seeking their first DSLR camera. It offers plenty of manual control features and strong image quality, but it's also easy to use for those still learning about photography.

Olympus Stylus Tough 8000 Review
My Olympus Stylus Tough 8000 review shows that this camera offers a nice mix of handy features while living up to the "tough" in its name. It can survive a fall of about 6 feet, and it will work in below-freezing temperatures.

Casio Exilim EX-FS10 Review
My Casio Exilim EX-FS10 review found a point and shoot camera with a lot of interesting features. However, my Casio EX-FS10 review also shows the camera could be difficult to learn to use without quite a bit of practice.

Kodak EasyShare Z950 Review
My Kodak EasyShare Z950 review shows a digital camera that mixes beginner and intermediate photography features in a model that remains very easy to use. The Z950 isn't the most stylish model, but it can help you learn more about photography.

Kodak Zi8 Review
My Kodak Zi8 review reveals a combination digital camera and digital camcorder that is one of the easiest cameras to use that you'll find that isn't a child's toy. This Kodak Zi8 review shows a unit with very limited still image photography capabilities, but that can shoot HD video and that has strong pocket camcorder options.

GE A1250 Review
My GE A1250 review shows that this model offers a great value for beginning photographers. The General Imaging A1250 camera is easy to use and works quickly.

Casio Exilim EX-S12 Review
My Casio Exilim EX-S12 review shows a camera with a few drawbacks, but those will be minor annoyances for a digital camera that gives beginning photographers a great value.

Nikon Coolpix L20 Review
Beginning photographers will find several very good features in this Nikon Coolpix L20 review, including a sharp 3-inch LCD and quick response times.

Sony MPK-WE Marine Pack Review
My Sony MPK-WE marine pack review shows an easy-to-use underwater housing that provides great protection of point and shoot cameras during underwater photography. The MPK-WE marine pack camera accessory will work with a few different Sony digital cameras, including the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W290, Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W230, Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W220, and Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W210. It works underwater up to 132 feet deep or 40 meters deep.

Samsung SL420 Review
My Samsung SL420 digital camera review reveals a basic-looking camera, with basic, easy-to-use functions, and a basic price tag of less than $200. However, the ratio of the SL420's price to its performance level is anything but basic. The Samsung SL420 offers a great value to beginning photographers.

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W290 Review
The Cyber-shot DSC-W290 from Sony performs very well in low light and is a very easy-to-use digital camera. It isn't the most stylish model you'll find in the marketplace and the MSRP could be a little lower, but this Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W290 review shows the DSC-W290 is a very nice digital camera for beginning photographers.

Olympus E-620 Review
For those seeking an entry-level DSLR camera, the Olympus E-620 provides a good starting point, even though it has no video mode. My Olympus E-620 review shows a very good value for a DSLR camera.

Nikon Coolpix P90 Review
My Nikon Coolpix P90 review shows that this fixed lens camera from Nikon has some very nice features, including a 24X optical zoom lens, but its problems with overall picture quality hurt it when compared to other models in this price range.

Samsung L210 Review
With a price of less than $200, Samsung's L210 offers a number of slightly above average features, when compared to other models in its price range. My Samsung L210 review shows a few drawbacks, but it works well for a beginning photographer looking for a thin, inexpensive option.

Casio EX-FC100 Review
My Casio EX-FC100 review shows that a stylish design and surprisingly solid features make the Casio EX-FC100 digital camera a nice option for those looking to move slighly beyond a beginner-level camera.

Casio EX-FH20 Review
Beyond its two especially strong features, my Casio EX-FH20 review shoes a 20X optical zoom lens and a high-speed continuous shot mode, the Casio EX-FH20 doesn't offer enough above-average features to justify its $600 price tag.

Canon PowerShot A1000IS Review
My Canon PowerShot A1000IS review shows that this digital camera from Canon doesn't offer many high-end features, but it does many things well and is a great all-around, entry-level model.

Nikon Coolpix S50 Review
Nikon's Coolpix S50 digital camera provides a host of above-average features for an ultra-thin model in its price range. Its 3.0-inch LCD might be its best feature, providing bright and sharp images for framing photos.

Olympus Stylus Tough 6000 Review
My Olympus Stylus Tough 6000 review reveals a digital camera that offers some good features for beginning photographers. Best of all, though, this camera can take some abuse, making it a great option for shooting photos in extreme conditions.

Kodak EasyShare M381 Review
This Kodak EasyShare M381 review reveals an inexpensive digital camera that will perform well for beginners. My review of the Kodak EasyShare M381 shows a camera that's very easy to use and provides a great value.
