Reviews

  • 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.

  • Kodak EasyShare V1003

    Unless you care more about the colour of your 10-megapixel camera than the photos it captures, give this one a pass.

  • Kodak EasyShare V705

    A simple refresh of the V570, the new Kodak EasyShare V705 bumps up the resolution, adds a few subtle twists, and keeps everything we liked about the company's original dual-lens camera.

  • Pentax K100D

    With its built-in image stabilisation and comfy mix of manual and automatic features, the Pentax K100D is one of the best dSLR bargains on the market.

  • Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H5

    Advanced amateurs who find dSLRs too bulky will like the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H5's versatility but lament the noise at higher ISOs.

  • Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H2

    The megazoom Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H2's long, image-stabilised lens should have casual photographers drooling -- as long as they stick to the lower ISO speeds.

  • Nikon D200

    Aggressively priced and stuffed with pro-quality features, the rugged Nikon D200 digital SLR offers the best of the D2X at about one-third the price.

  • Nikon D50

    The Nikon D50 is an appealing SLR for family photographers and shutterbugs on a budget.
