Sony Cyber-shot DSC-P150
Given how much we liked Sony's 5-megapixel Cyber-shot DSC-P100, we were eager to get our hands on its 7MP successor, the Cyber-shot DSC-P150. We were disappointed, because on our lab tests the 7MP camera didn't perform much better than its predecessor when it came to resolution. It's a good camera, especially for the money, but the P100 will give you more bang for your buck.

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-S60
The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-S60 is a lightweight, reasonably priced compact camera that will serve beginners well. It's a little on the large side, but the DSC-S60 produces quality still shots that make it a good entry-level compact camera.

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W100
The Cyber-shot DSC-W100 ($350) is the top-end camera in Sony's 2006 W-series lineup. While it shares a similar design and lens with the other models, the W100 has the most resolution, courtesy of its 8.1 Megapixel CCD.

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W7
Sony's Cyber-shot DSC-W7 digital camera is a speedy little point-and-shoot with a high megapixel count and a rugged metal exterior. It's a bit heavy, and the boxy design—with hardly a curve on the body, other than a small hand grip—makes it a little tough to hold. Perhaps Sony used up all its curves on the DVD7 camcorder, which resembles a Frisbee with a lens and LCD. In any case, the W7 doesn't easily fit into a shirt or pants pocket. But there are positive points to this camera, namely the picture quality. And at $375, it's a good buy for this type of point-and-shoot camera with a high-megapixel sensor.

SSI Nedio
At 1.8 by 2.2 by 0.8 inches, the SSI Nedio (which used to be called the Nideo, as you see in our picture) is the second-smallest camera in our roundup (the Casio Wrist Camera is the smallest). Besides beeping, the Nedio's tiny Mode button and Shutter button produce slight tactile feedback when they've been activated. The Nedio is equipped with 8MB of built-in memory, enough to record 26 640-by-480 stills or 1 minute 44 seconds of video. Though it can shoot stills and video, it can't mix the two.
Like other cameras in this roundup (except the Casio and Panasonic cameras), the Nedio may also be used as a USB-connected Webcam. Unusual for cameras in its class, the Nedio has a built-in rechargeable lithium ion battery. Unfortunately, some fiendish designer decided that the optical viewfinder would be cuter if mirrors, rather than black matte walls, were placed along the sides. This produces a very distracting, 360-degree, fun-house–like series of reflections of the subject.
The Nedio is a fast-shooting camera, booting up in just over a second. You can take VGA shots almost as quickly as you press the shutter and QVGA (Quarter VGA, or 160-by-120 resolution) images at the rate of about 5 per second. Nedio ships with a CD-ROM full of obscure software (such as Vedio Mail and Photo Special Effect).

X10 FloodCam VT38A
The X10 FloodCam can show you, remotely: It combines a wireless color camera and a pair of floodlights in weatherproof housing. The 2.4-GHz, 3-lux (light level) camera turns on when motion is detected (as do its floodlights when it's dark), sends a signal to a warning chime (optional), and transmits video to your TV. You can save video to a VCR or see it on your PC. The FloodCam replaces existing floodlights.
The FloodCam wireless video camera is fully weather-resistant with an integrated 2.4 GHz transmitter and X10 motion sensor on a dual floodlight casing.
How Does It Work When someone approaches your home, the FloodCam Colour Wireless CCTV Camera is activated by the integrated wireless motion sensor(within a range of up to 50 feet), which switches on the floodlights.
The camera then instantly begins capturing the event on video and sends the pictures wirelessly via a built-in 2.4 GHz transmitter, to a Video Receiver (accessory), which is connected to a TV anywhere in your home, so that you can watch and record all the action. The floodlights are sensitive to day and night, automatically switching on, when motion is detected during the day, or during the hours of darkness.

X10 XCam2
This X10 camera is heavily advertised camera; first, the X10 XCam2 isn't always sold for its advertised price ($79.99 direct). If you want to use it with your PC instead of your television, you'll need the $50 USB Video Capture Adapter, which plugs into your PC. The XCam2 can transmit images to the adapter from up to 100 feet away. You still may feel that you got a bargain on a wireless Webcam—until you see its video output. The XCam2's image quality is grainy and unusually dark. Like the Labtec WebCam, it received only a fair rating on our good-lighting test and failed to capture a discernable image on our abysmal-lighting test. The included surveillance software is on a par with Creative Labs' offering
