Are you looking to buy a new digital camera, or perhaps to replace your old one? If you are, then here are some exciting new cameras out in the market today that you may want to check out.

• Canon Powershot S5is. Because of the big zoom capability of its Powershot S series, Canon remains in stiff competition with the likes of Sony and Panasonic. The Canon Powershot S5is is a welcome upgrade to its predecessors, and while the changes in design between S5is and S3is is only very minimal, the S5is is definitely more powerful and functional. Besides the higher resolution sensor and the larger LCD screen, the S5is also boasts of new features, such as the hot shoe flash connector, the red eye removal tool and face detection.
• Canon Powershot A460. The A460 is not exactly a new release, but it is still quite a fresh choice. It is slim and compact and fits easily in your pocket, suitable for mobility, especially for traveling. Its features are simple enough for the use of a person uninitiated into photography, and yet interesting enough so as not to insult a pro photographer. The A460 sports a 5 megapixel sensor, a 4x optical zoom, both automatic and manual modes and a 2.0 inch LCD. Not bad at all. Most of all, at less than US$150, it is quite cheap.
• Casio Exilim Z1050. If you are looking for really compact digital cameras that do not sacrifice usability for size and style, get yourself a Casio Exilim Z1050. Ultra-compact and stylishness are the two major trait that the Exilim series is known for, and just like its predecessors, the Z1050 abides by the set standard. And yet, you will not go wrong with its 10.1 megapixel sensor, 4x digital zoom and 2.6 LCD screen. It is highly suggested, however, that you buy an external storage for this baby, as it only has a 15 MB memory.
• Olympus Stylus 550UZ. Photographers who are fond of taking long shots without losing in detail will love the Olympus Stylus 550UZ. Its 18X optical zoom super telephoto lens is currently the highest optical zoom in the market today. Another feature of the Stylus 550UZ that you might love is the built-in sensor shift and digital image stabilizer that keeps your shots ordered. Also, because it has ISO settings up to 5000, it is great for fast and moving shots.
• Sony Cybershot DSC H9. The Sony Cybershot DSC H9 is a welcome upgrade in its series. It is also quite interesting, as it compares to Olympus Stylus 550UZ in the utilization of super telephoto lenses. The lens on the DSC H9 is 15X optical zoom, just a little short of the Stylus 550UZ. What is more interesting is this added feature called the Night Shot mode, an infrared mode that is a staple on camcorders, which allows shots to be taken in complete darkness. The DSC H9 seems a promising new toy for photographers to play with.
