Canon PowerShot S100 Digital Elph
The new Canon PowerShot S100 (Digital ELPH) is undoubtedly the smallest 2-megapixel digital camera with an optical zoom. When powered down, the lens is safely tucked away inside of the highly durable stainless steel body and it measures just 3.4 x 2.2 x 1.1 inches. This is truly a "pocket size" camera that weighs a scant 6.7 ounces.

Canon PowerShot S330
Canon's new PowerShot S330 "Digital ELPH" is the 2002 upgrade to the PowerShot S300 camera. It retains and improves upon the stylish and elegant design that made the S300 one of the most popular digital cameras of 2001. Packed inside of the highly compact and durable stainless steel case is a 3x optical 35-105mm f/2.7-4.7 zoom lens and a 2.0 megapixel CCD sensor. The menu interface and camera controls have been improved to make it easier to use. It features direct print capability with Canon's new CP-100 and CP-10 Card Photo Printers as well as the S820D Photo printer for making direct, borderless prints up to 8.5 x 11-inches without need of a computer.

Casio Exilim EX-S1
It's an exciting camera; especially when you you see a camera like the Casio Exilim EX-S1 ($299). The Exilim is the smallest camera out there, by far, and is just 0.4" thick.
The EX-S1's sister camera is the EX-M1, which adds a microphone and MP3 playback capability.

Concord Eye-Q Go Wireless
The Concord Eye-Q Go Wireless digital camera eliminates the need for cables and cradles, instead transmitting images directly to any Bluetooth-enabled PC, printer, PDA, or even cell phone. It's also fairly easy to use, produces very good daylight images, and comes bundled with great software. But sluggish performance and a lack of features cancel any advantage wireless image transfer may offer.

Fuji FinePix 2600 Zoom
The chrome-colored Fuji FinePix 2600 Zoom ($220 street) boasts both a 3X auto-focus lens and the ability to record short video clips (although without sound). The sliding lens cover, easy-to-navigate menu system, and grid lines on the LCD viewfinder (for better subject framing) are all great flourishes.
The 2600 Zoom comes with a generous 16MB SmartMedia card and rechargeable batteries. You can shoot with auto-everything enabled, or choose to manually set the white balance, flash mode, and exposure value. The device can also function as a videoconferencing camera.

Fujifilm FinePix 30i
The Fujifilm FinePix 30i isn't quite as small as the Casio Exilim EX-M1 and it isn't quite as cool as the Nikon Coolpix 2500. But like the Exilim, the 30i offers an MP3 playback feature that will be a hit if you want to carry just one toy.

Fujifilm FinePix A201
I started by taking the Fujifilm FinePix A201 ($249 list) on a cocktail cruise around my favorite lake—Lake George, in the Adirondacks region of New York. Passing the camera around after each shot was definitely a party pleaser. But on closer inspection, after loading the pictures to a PC, image quality was poor; the camera's focus could not keep up with the scenery.
On the bright side, the A201 does offer some advanced features to get the most out of your photos. There are several flash settings, such as auto, fill, off, on, red-eye reduction, and slow sync (which lets you take nice pictures against a nighttime cityscape). A complete white-balance menu has options for shooting outside in sunny or overcast weather and indoors under daylight, warm white, or cool white fluorescent lights. Of course, I had to read the manual to learn about these features. As a tool for shooting right out of the box, the A201 is simple and easy to use—but the manual is necessary to get the most out of the camera. And call me picky, but I'll take an on/off button over a switch any day.

Nikon Coolpix 2500
The Nikon Coolpix 2500 practically screams "party!" color and unusual shape are certain to attract attention, but under the metal skin is a capable camera with surprising flexibility. Its excellent value and feature-packed frame earned our Editors' Choice nod. Like many other Coolpix models, the 2500 has a swiveling lens mechanism. But the 2500 is unique in that its swivel lens hides neatly inside the camera's frame when not in use, where it is protected from dust, bumps, and fingerprints. This clever design twist let Nikon's engineers pack a 3X (35-mm lens equivalent is 37- to lll-mm) zoom lens into the 2500's thin body. The extra space also makes room for an extended focusing mechanism that lets you focus on objects as close as 1.6 inches from the camera.

Olympus C-211 Zoom Digital Printing Camera
This is the best of the old and the new, the Olympus C-211 Zoom combines Olympus digital-camera technology with Polaroid's half a century of experience with instant photography. The result is a large but well-balanced device that works, shoots, and saves like a digital camera, while providing the capability to output baseball-card-size prints on Polaroid instant film. Image quality, both digital and print, is excellent. Each image shot and saved to the camera's SmartMedia card can be uploaded to a computer, printed within the camera, or both. Though the $1-per-print cost isn't cheap, you save by outputting only those you need on the spot. The C-211 is a very useful business tool with a wide range of applications.
