To gauge picture quality, we take a series of shots, with and without flash, at 640 by 480 resolution and at the camera's highest resolution. We photograph a complex still life and a mannequin to see how well each camera captures details and subtle color. We review the on-screen and printed photos and assign image-quality scores. Data based on tests designed and conducted by the PC World Test Center. All rights reserved. Chart Notes: Each camera's overall rating is based on price (15 percent), picture quality (30 percent), ease of use (15 percent), features (20 percent), battery life (10 percent), and support (10 percent). For all ratings, higher is better. Resolutions are expressed in effective pixels, focal range is identified as 35mm equivalent, and camera weights include batteries.
