Exilim EX-S770 review
The Casio Exilim EX-S770 is a 7.2-megapixel addition to the company’s series of ultra-slim cameras. The svelte, stylish body comes at a cost, though, as the camera lacks many of the manual controls you’ll find on similar models.

EOS 400D review
The EOS 400D retains the compact and lightweight body of the 350D, but add a new 10mp sensor, a 9-point autofocus system, a larger 2.5-inch screen, and Picture Styles.
