All Rights Reserved. 1440 en-us http://www.2cameraguys.com/Sony-RX100-vs-CanonG1-X.htm Premium compact cameras can be a hard sell -- they're often as expensive as mirrorless interchangeable lens cameras or entry-level DSLRs, but they have fixed lenses. These cameras are designed to fit both amateur shooters who are looking for a little more control over their photos, and for seasoned photographers who want a portable-yet-advanced second camera. In this premium compact shootout, we pit the Sony RX100 vs the Canon G1 X, two popular, but very different cameras.

Indeed, at the time of this posting, the Sony 5N still retains our 2 Camera Guys Award for Best Mirrorless Camera (under $1000). Let's compare the two side-by-side and see if the E-M5 can dethrone the champ.

For this January 2012 Shootout of Mirrorless Cameras, I have picked eight of the top models that are currently available in the marketplace, the Nikon V1, the Olympus EP3, the Panasonic G3, the Panasonic GX1,the Pentax K-01, the Pentax Q, the Samsung NX200 and the Sony NEX-5N.

Replete with new features and higher-than-ever resolution, these cameras appeal to both casual shooters and adventure seekers due to their rugged, life-proof nature. Today we'll look at a few models that are highly regarded by actual users, including the Canon PowerShot D20, Nikon CoolPix AW100, Olympus Tough TG-1, Panasonic LUMIX TS4 and TS3, and the Sony TX10. These cameras may all be waterproof, dustproof, shockproof, and freezeproof, but that's where the similarities end. Come see which one is the Best Waterproof Camera.

In this shootout, we're looking at five cameras priced between $200 and $300, which is among the most popular price points for pocket cameras. Four are typical point-and-shoot models: the Canon Powershot ELPH 520 HS, the Nikon Coolpix S8200, the Panasonic ZS15, and the Sony H90. The fifth is the venerable Olympus PEN E-PL1, a mirrorless model from several years ago which, thanks to price cuts, now costs less than $300. Let's see how they stack up.

This shootout between four popular point and shoot cameras tells the whole story...the Panasonic SZ1 beats out the Sony WX50, the Nikon S6300, and the Canon A4000 for the Best Camera Award.

Bill Livolsi Best Entry-level DSLR Camera Wed, 23 May 2012 03:00:00 PDT Wed, 23 May 2012 03:00:00 PDT http://www.2cameraguys.com/best-waterproof-cameras-2012.htm Waterproof cameras are becoming more and more popular these days, with models available from most major manufacturers. These cameras offer protection from the elements in the form of dust-proofing, water-proofing, and impact resistance. Since 75% of broken cameras are the result of a drop or dunk, this kind of protection is worth it--especially on a beach vacation or when lounging by the pool. Today we'll take a look at five models that are highly regarded by actual users - the Canon D20, Nikon AW100, Panasonic TS4, Panasonic TS3, and Sony TX10. All offer similar protection from the elements and all cost $400 or less from major resellers. The differences between them, however, are bigger than you might think.

About the only concrete thing that you can say about them is that they should fit comfortably in your shirt pocket. But there is a whole gaggle of Point and Shoot cameras that are also pocketable. What distinguishes a Pocket Camera? In the 2 Camera Guys taxonomy, Pocket Cameras are a step up from Point and Shooters, providing more features, better picture quality, and of course, a higher price tag. For this April 2012 Shootout of Pocket Cameras, five of the top models that are currently available in the marketplace have been chosen, the Canon PowerShot S100, the Nikon COOLPIX P310, the Olympus XZ-1, the Panasonic LX5, and the Samsung TL-500.

With prices on some older mirrorless cameras dropping below $400, there are plenty of opportunities out there to pick up a highly capable camera at point-and-shoot prices.
