Best 7 megapixel digital cameras

(Jul 07, 2009)

Photographers who want to make large prints--8x10 or larger--and capture lots of image detail need all the megapixels they can get. But that's not all these high-resolution models offer. Each of them has a distinctive feature set and design, and they're not all made with the same kind of shooter in mind. So before you invest in a high-res camera, take a look at our top picks to find out what sets each model apart from its peers--and which one will sync with your own photographic style.

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W120 (Silver)

It's not as feature-laden as higher-end models, but the Cyber-shot W120 offers plenty of style and substance for the price.

Price: $233.73 (check prices)
