Well, summer is here (at least for the Northern Hemisphere) and this is one time of year that the camera manufacturers release a whole lot of new cameras.

So what is the best camera to purchase? Adorama has a very good list of the best cameras available right now separated conveniently into categories like best DSLR, best compact camera, best budget priced digital compact plus some off-beat ones like the best fashion compact camera - perfect for the style conscious.

I like the stylish, but very expensive Minox DC-1011 Carat (pictured to the right) that is gold dipped!
