Nikon D3S: Spectacular for those who need its power

bydaviddennis May 6, 2012
17 Helpfuls 18 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Takes beautiful images; fast and powerful; rugged and durable
Cons Big, heavy and more expensive than many used cars
Recommended it? Yes

Cons soft images, expensive

When the weather starts turning cool, the sales pitches for the Holiday buying season begin.  Cameras are very popular Christmas gifts and every winter major camera manufacturers (and most of the minor leaguers) participate in a series of trade shows to tout their new products. ...

Great Quality Camera For The Price

byrichard1983 Jan 17, 2012
14 Helpfuls 15 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Great bargain, 35X Zoom, Great Features
Cons Can be difficult to navigate.
Recommended it? Yes

When it comes to quality cameras at a low price, the Canon PowerShot SX40 HS Digital Camera fits the bill. When it comes to cameras, I have only bought Canon and Sony. I am not a professional photographer, but I do know my way around a camera. My kids are 6 and 3. I really try my best to capture... Read full review »
