Festivals are about enjoying great music with great friends and making it a memorable experience. We headed up to Byron Bay for Splendour In The Grass 2006 and while professional cameras were not allowed, we managed to snap some great shots with the Canon Digital IXUS 800IS. Check out our photo gallery to relive the action, find out what you missed and pick up some tips on how to capture better shots in a festival environment.

      With a range of new features for photo enthusiasts and serious amateurs, can the E-30 beat Canon's 50D and Nikon's D90 at their own game?

      Even though the 980 IS lacks HD video and a big screen like some of its competitors, the 14.7-megapixel monster can deliver some excellent images.

    • Nikon D3X

      Containing all the goodness of a D3 but with more megapixels — 24.5 if you must know — the new D3X picks a fight with Canon's EOS 1Ds Mark III.

    • Samsung NV100HD

      While there is much to dislike about the styling and design of Samsung's 14.7-megapixel giant, at its heart it's definitely not a bad camera.

    • Nikon D700

      As long as you don't need seriously high-resolution photos, video capture, or machine-gun-fast sports shooting, the Nikon D700 has everything you need in a pro full-frame camera for a reasonable price.
