Editors' rating: Digital cameras
We rate digital cameras on a scale of 0.0 through 10.0 (see "What the numbers mean" below). The editors calculate the overall rating from a series of subratings, on a scale of 1 to 10, that gauge key aspects of the product. On the product review page and elsewhere on the Web site, the overall rating is displayed as a series of stars, based on a five-star scale with half stars (see conversion details below). The digital cameras we review can generally be divided into three classes: point-and-shoot, midrange, and semipro. Each subrating is weighted based on its relative importance within a specific product class. For example, a camera's image quality score counts for less in a review of a point-and-shoot camera than it does in one of a semipro camera.



The rating criteria with the weightings by class are:
