– as summer begins, folks start heading out in boats, hanging out on the beach, and playing in swimming pools and a compact waterproof camera is a great way to capture those memories and make some interesting images. The PowerShot D10 is waterpoof to 33 feet and provides some great features including face detection, all in a nice cute blue and silver package. Looks like a great deal at under $250.
– GoPro’s compact HD video cameras are a big hit, and rightly so. They pack a lot of video (and still) power into a tiny package that can easily be worn or mounted in any number of ways. This particular one is the motorsports pacakge which features a suction cup arm mount. I’ve previously written about my 
– Canon’s ELPH series of cameras is known for providing a good set of features in a compact package designed for the mass market consumer audience. This model, around $170 as of the time of writing, is in the middle of rhat range, offering a good zoom range and 1080p video.
– the D5100 is one step above Nikon’s entry-level DSLR, offering a nice feature set in a package that comes with a lens for about $650. This camera is positioned in an interesting place as it has a few nicer features than the entry-level 3000-series cameras, but it’s definitely lacking in several areas (such as image quality and autofocus system) when compared with its big brother the 
(which has a special $100-off deal for the month of June).
– The same camera as the GoPro unit mentioned above; this one comes with some different mounting options.
– The superzoom form factor is a popular one. It’s not a DSLR, but it starts to approach the DSLR size factor. My wife once had a similar unit and it performed very well. The big advantage to this type of a camera is the extreme zoom capability of the lens. The SX40 has been on the bestseller list pretty consistently for several months – folks seem to like it.
– this is a low end compact camera (just over $100) but it can make some decent images under good lighting conditions. It’s not for the professional or serious hobbyist, but for a cheap camera it’s pretty good.
– Canon offers two high-end compact cameras; the S100 is the smaller of the bunch. A better-than-typical image sensor in this unit allows for excellent images even in low-light situations, and the small size means that the camera fits easily into a pocket. I have a previous model in this series (the S90), it’s a solid camera that allows for quality photos.
– the SX150 is quite affordable (about $150) but still offers a decent sized image with a 12x zoom.
– This looks like a good little compact camera at quite an affordable price (around $160 at the time this article is written). Panasonic isn’t mentioned as often as Canon and Nikon, but they have some good compact cameras and this one is rated very well. It’s interesting that this camera has jumped in price about $30 since last month’s bestseller roundup.| You are subscribed to email updates from Aaron B.
