Most Popular Digital Cameras of April 2009

As predicted last month, we saw a relatively major shake-up in the most searched cameras on the site this month, with Canon reestablishing its periodic position of dominance with the retail release of several PMA-announced models. Both Panasonic – another perennially popular brand on our list – and Nikon gave up a spot each from last month, but Fujifilm gained one with the launch (and subsequent review on this site) of its F200EXR advanced compact.

Given the amount of day to day fluctuation we've been seeing in our most-clicked products, however, we're betting that this list won't stay this way for long. Look for more big changes next month once results from the spring shopping upswing are in.

This list of cameras shows you what visitors to DigitalCameraReview.com viewed most often over the past month. The rankings are determined by the number of times a particular product page is viewed by our users. The rankings below are for the entire month of April 2009.
