Most Popular Digital Cameras of May 2009

Once again, we've seen a lot of month-to-month turnover on our list of most viewed products for the month of May. Several new additions – including the impressive Nikon D5000 and the Panasonic ZS3, which won our Editor's Choice honors – garnered a lot of clicks last month. Likewise, we had one surprising comeback: the Canon PowerShot A1000 IS, which has been on and off the list since the first of the year, returned for yet another round on our top ten.

Even more surprising, perhaps, is the fact that the Fujifilm FinePix S1000fd has, after a long run among our most-viewed products, finally fallen out of the top ten. Popular for its long list of features and relatively low cost, Fuji's budget ultrazoom has been among the most popular searches on this site since we first reviewed it last summer.

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 May 2009.
