For travel and convenience they can't be beat, and image quality is nearly the equal of their larger cousins. But there are some sacrifices. The lack of a convenient way to use the camera vertically and the loss in speed are a burden when you're shooting locally and not hampered by travel issues. Read more »

DXOLabs is now publishing a free website--DXOMark--featuring their test results from dozens of camera models.
