Pentax K20D - Pentax

If there's one brand that seems to instinctively cater for both the enthusiast and student it's Pentax, so it comes as little surprise to see the company upgrade its popular top-of-the-range 10-megapixel K10D.

Easyshare Z1085 IS - Kodak

Like many of its features, photos taken with the 10-megapixel Kodak Z1085 IS look good initially but lose their luster on closer inspection.

Take the DXG-110. Not only does it boast a hefty 10-megapixel sensor, it costs just $170, a price that can’t be ignored. It even looks and feels like a solid camera. The seduction ends, however, when you start taking pictures. You end up with results you can’t show to anyone—our images were marred with overblown highlights, a noticeable lack of sharpness, colors that were missing punch and saturation, and more noise than a monster truck rally.... read more at MacLife
