So, it’s two days before Christmas. Here’s the suggested cameras that are perfect for a newcomer (point-and-shoot), a plain old DSLR, and the new medium of Micro Four Thirds cameras. Read on to see the list!

Canon’s EOS 60D Is A Slap To The Rebels
Canon has not only said “HEY, WHAT’S UP!?”, but it’s shaken the Rebels. In this case, not the Rebel Alliance you Jedi fool! The Canon Rebel entry-level DSLR line, primarily the famous and almost-new Rebel T2i.
With 18 megapixels gracing it’s lens, 1080p H.264 video recording, a single DIGIC 4 processor and boasts 1080p, in–camera video editing, a 3-inch LCD 1.4 million dots resolution screen (read: swiveling screen), 100-6,400 ISO purported to be expandable to 12,800, and lastly the professional awesome feature: support for processing RAW images on the camera itself.
It’ll cost $1,100 body-only, or $1,400 with a bundled 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS zoom lens, at the end of September.

Canon Rebel T2i: 18 Megapixel Stills, 1080p Video, Costs $899
The oh-so-wonderful Canon Rebel T2i is the perfect DSLR for anyone who can’t buy the perfect DSLR. For $899 you’d get an 18.7 megapixel senor (18.7 MP!) at 3.7 fps, the 7D’s style of light metering and better ISO range; 100 to 6400. Even more amazing is the 30 / 25 / 24 fps 1080p HD video shooting, as well as 720p (also HD) at 50 / 60 fps and VGA at similar speeds. This camera can also do a “movie crop”, where you would get 7x more zoom by cropping on the CMOS sensor without losing quality in the SD card. Translation: This is the best entry-level DSLR camera you can get, on paper. The T2i will come out in March for $800 (body only), or with a EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS lens kit which would set you back at about $900. PR after the break!

Canon has deployed an army of new cameras to take over the world.
The star of the show is the G11, with a 10 megapixel sensor, 2.8-inch vari-angle, 5x optical zoom, RAW support, and a MSRP of $499.99. It’s for professionals, duh.
Next is the $429.99 Powershot S90, it houses a 3-inch LCD, 10 megapixel sensor, DIGIC 4 processing engine, RAW support and 3.8x optical zoom. The SX20 IS will retail for $399.99, has a 12.1 megapixel sensor, 720p (30fps) video, HDMI output, 20x optical zoom and 2.5-inch vari-angle display. Next is the SX120 IS, it houses a 10 megapixel sensor, 3-inch LCD, 10x optical zoom, and AA battery support all for the softer price of $249.99. There are 2 more cameras, the SD980 IS and SD940 IS, but I’m not talking about them here though, because Canon gave me too much of a writing workout, hit the Canon link for the whole press release.
