Olympus Pen E-PL1 review
In the 12.3-megapixel Pen E-PL1, Olympus has finally made a Micro Four Thirds camera for the masses.

Casio Exilim EX-FS10 review
Judged solely as a stills camera, the 9-megapixel Exilim EX-FS10 is too expensive. But it's really all about capturing movement and action, and it does that remarkably well, thanks to some truly unique and startlingly effective high-speed shooting technology Read more
