| Digital cameras offering more for less
This season, you'll see small digital cameras not only in sober black and silver but also in hues such as wasabi green and sunset orange.
In a recent study, Consumer Reports found that even modestly priced models are offering more and more features, such as image stabilization, which can compensate for camera shake and minimize blurring and face detection, which aids in portrait shots. The touch-screen technology found on the iPhone and other smart phones is showing up on more digital cameras' LCD screens, and those screens are getting bigger.
Prices have dropped, too, especially for compacts and SLRs. In recent ratings, CR rated two compacts priced at or near $200 among its Best Buys. And you can now find respectable compacts with familiar brand names for less than $200.
