Canon EOS 50D

Canon EOS 50D

The 50D is remarkably similar to the 40D in terms of performance, looks and features — but if you can spare the extra cash, it's a much nicer package.

Fujifilm FinePix J100

Fujifilm FinePix J100

The J100 is definitely a point-and-shoot — because you can't do anything else with it.

Olympus E-520

Olympus E-520

The E-520 adds an appealing range of features to the existing Olympus line-up of dSLRs, but mostly for the first-time buyer. Apart from image stabilisation built into the body and the ability to use older lenses on the Four Thirds system, there is not much that really sets the E-520 apart from other cameras in its class.

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T700

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T700

Sony's T700 is a winner in the looks department, but beneath the brushed metal exterior lies a clever way to share photos. With 4GB of internal memory and a 3.5-inch LCD touchscreen, the T700 is a good, if slightly expensive camera, especially given that image quality isn't always up to scratch.

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W110

Sony's entry-level Cyber-shot DSC-W110 includes face detection, noise reduction and high ISO sensitivity up to ISO 3200.

Fujifilm FinePix F60fd

Fujifilm FinePix F60fd

It may not be brimming with new features and the controls are all over the shop, but the Fujifilm FinePix F60fd looks great and so do the pictures. Capable automatic settings make this a true point-and-shoot, with clever face detection helping it stand out from the crowd. We just wish it weren't so confusing.

Sony Alpha DSLR-A900

Sony Alpha DSLR-A900

The A900's main claim to fame is its 24-megapixel full-frame (the size of a 35mm frame of film) sensor, the highest resolution in a dSLR to date.

Olympus Mju 1060

Olympus Mju 1060

In this season of offerings, we've noticed two growing trends among manufacturers: touchscreen-enabled or ultra-high resolution point-and-shoots. But Olympus' latest darling in its Mju family, the Mju 1060 has neither. So does this new shooter have what it takes to pit itself against other more sophisticated compacts?

Olympus FE-320

Olympus FE-320

It is easy to like the FE-320 for its stylish looks and feature-rich specifications. But what we like to applaud Olympus for is in making things work.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX3

Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX3   Editors’ Choice

The LX3 is a good camera with an excellent feature set that positions it way beyond any conventional point-and-shoot on the retail shelves today.

Canon EOS 1000D

Canon EOS 1000D

The Canon EOS 1000D is a good entry-level dSLR, but only its photo quality stands out among the competition.

Nikon D90

Nikon D90

Looking to lure existing Nikonistas, dSLR virgins and the Canon convertee, Nikon has announced the D90, the first digital SLR to feature video recording.

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W150

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W150

Available in black, red or silver, the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W150 offers 5x optical zoom, face detection and optical image stabilisation amongst its feature set.

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H50

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H50

Plentiful features with all manner of adjustable options, entertaining gimmicks and rock-solid shooting make us like this camera a lot. If you could stick an SD card slot in there, it'd be one of the best superzooms we've seen. Sadly, it loses marks for the proprietary connections.

Fujifilm FinePix S8100fd

Fujifilm FinePix S8100fd

We're actually struggling to think of anything bad about the 10-megapixel zooming behemoth that is the Fujifilm FinePix S8100fd. It's a versatile and reliable camera that gets looks, features, image quality and controls right.

Fujifilm FinePix J50

Fujifilm FinePix J50

The J50 is strictly for beginners who want a simple shooter to start exploring the world of photography. While the extensive modes make up for the lack of fancy features, little has been done to salvage the less-than-desired image quality.

Olympus E-420

Olympus E-420

The Olympus E-420 is a good beginner's dSLR with an extremely compact footprint that should go well with travellers. Just don't expect any fancy features for this budget model.

Nikon Coolpix P60

Nikon Coolpix P60

Stolid rather than sexy, competent rather than classy, the boxy Nikon Coolpix P60 is a belt-and-braces, real ale-supping point-and-shoot. The cool kids won't be impressed, but we're always glad to see a compact that gives such reliable images

Kodak EasyShare Z8612 IS

Kodak EasyShare Z8612 IS

The Kodak EasyShare Z8612 IS has trimmed off every gram of fat, but the 12x zoom lens overbalances the camera. It oozes understated élan and even has some clever features, but the performance isn't quite there.

Nikon D700

Nikon D700

Boasting many of the internal bits from the professional-spec (and professionally priced) D3, the D700 is an (almost) affordable full-frame dSLR. It faces up to the Canon 5D with a 12.1-megapixel CMOS sensor, 51 auto-focussing points, 5fps or 8fps shooting depending on battery and mini-HDMI out.
