Nikon D3S: Spectacular for those who need its power

Pros Takes beautiful images; fast and powerful; rugged and durable

Cons Expensive, a bit bulky
Recommended it? Yes

  I did not buy the LX5, and choosing a different camera (Canon PowerShot S95) was one of the most difficult purchase decisions I've ever made.  The LX5 really is THAT good.

First the basics.  The LX5 is a compact digital camera with advanced controls and a fast F2.0... Read full review »
