Avid shutterbugs must be beaming with the recent launch of three affordable prosumer cameras, all sporting similar specs. These cameras often promise--and mostly deliver--everything under the sun. Of the three, only the offering from Sony is of a totally new bloodline. The other two are product upgrades of existing models from Canon and Nikon. The key features binding these compacts are the 5-megapixel sensors as well as the 4x optical telescopic reach.
From our reviews, you'd no doubt have guessed by now that these gizmos are very evenly matched. So, before you lay down the dough for one, do check out our feature-for-feature comparison table in the next few pages to obtain an idea of the strength and weaknesses of each camera. This way, you can gauge which unit will ultimately work better for you.
