Getting the best shot in golf is easier when you have the right club. The same holds true for cameras—here are the best for memorializing that round at Pebble Beach.
Like most electronics, digital cameras keep getting better and cheaper. Compact cameras dominate the market because of their size and ease of use, but performance—shutter lag and an inability to change lenses—is an issue.

Here are two of the best in each category Canon Rebel XTi This 10-megapixel SLR features a fast three-frames-per-second shutter, self-cleaning system and 18-55 mm lens.
