Reviews

Nikon D2Xs

Nikon's flagship dSLR ranks among the best 35mm-format cameras currently made, but some pros may take umbrage with its less-than-full-frame sensor.
Canon EOS 400D

The Canon 400D remains a very good first dSLR, with a balance of automatic, semi-automatic and manual controls to progress through as your creative photography skills improve.
Nikon Coolpix P3

Like its older siblings, the P1 and P2, the Nikon Coolpix P3 has a limited Wi-Fi capability and excellent image quality.
Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ1

With a big 10X zoom lens and optical image stabilisation, Panasonic's DMC-TZ1 looks enticing, but image-quality issues keep it from making the grade.
Pentax Optio A10

Its LCD has issues outdoors and in burst mode, but this ultracompact 8-megapixel Pentax Optio A10 for the snapshooting set is easy to operate and versatile.
Nikon Coolpix L2

The no-frills Nikon Coolpix L2 is slow, but its pictures are quite good.
Nikon Coolpix S6

The Nikon Coolpix S6 is a stylish performer with a handy control wheel, but its Wi-Fi implementation feels almost like an afterthought.
Nikon Coolpix S5

The Nikon Coolpix S5 is a stylish camera that offers great images, albeit with a somewhat basic feature set.
