  FIND COMPACT CAMERAS

  If you're looking for a basic, pocket-size digital camera, you've come to the right place. Compacts represent a wide range of cameras, from budget models to smaller long-zoom cameras to serious devices with advanced controls. Many popular compacts still run on easy-to-find AA batteries, making them convenient for travelers as well.

• Ultracompact
  
  

  

  FIND ULTRACOMPACT CAMERAS

  If you have to have the latest, sleekest gadgets, ultracompacts are where it's at. Small enough to easily tote along in a pocket, ultracompacts usually trade advanced photographic controls for hip features and fantastic style. For a camera that's tiny, trendy, and colorful, an ultracompact is probably your choice. Best of all, they can take great pictures, too!

• Ultrazoom
  
  

  

  FIND ULTRAZOOM CAMERAS

  With lenses covering a range greater than 6x, ultrazooms make it easier to get the shot you want. In addition to offering the ability to reach out and capture shots of distant subjects, many ultrazooms feature full manual controls and SLR styling, making them the ideal choice for shooters looking for more control without the expense or weight of an SLR.

• SLR
  
  

  

  FIND SLR CAMERAS

  Single lens reflex cameras (or SLRs) offer the ultimate in performance and control, making them the choice of users wanting to explore everything photography has to offer. For superior speed and low-light performance, SLRs are the best choice. Compared to a compact or ultrazoom, the trade-offs are increased size, weight, and cost – and don't forget to factor in the price of lenses.
