The Summer Collection: Digital Cameras From shades that shed water to adventure-ready timepieces and pro-grade point-and-shoots—here are this season's sleekest sunglasses, watches, and cameras. Text by Steve Casimiro Photograph by Alex Di Suvero
1. The Pro The versatile eight-megapixel matte black Ricoh GR Digital($600; www.adorama.com) is the rare pocket shooter that grants full manual control over exposures and shoots quality RAW files and JPEGs.
2. The Sportsman It's tough to take a blurry picture with the ten-megapixel Nikon Coolpix P5000($400; www.nikondigital.com) thanks to its pro-grade antivibration technology. The camera's extended grip helps to stabilize the action even more.
3. The Cameraman Most video cams shoot barely viewable stills and most still cameras shoot unwatchable vids. Enter the Canon PowerShot TX1($500; www.usa.canon.com), a tiny point-and-shoot that creates sublime pictures no matter the format.
4. The Artiste The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W200($400; www.sonystyle.com) sports a whopping 12.1-megapixel sensor to create extremely detailed images. Not only do small prints come out tack sharp, but you'll get beautiful enlargements too.
