Reviews

  • Nikon D3X

    Normally we would express disappointment with a camera being overly similar to a predecessor, but not in this instance. Nikon has improved, refined and upped the megapixel count from the D3 to produce a professional-grade camera with every function you could ever wish for, apart from video recording.

  • Nikon D3

    Nikon's flagship dSLR packs a full-frame 12-megapixel sensor and is a highly versatile imaging powerhouse that lets photographers create images previously impossible to capture.

  • Pentax K20D

    Pentax's 14-megapixel K20D is a great choice for a mid-range digital SLR and offers a lot of bang for the buck.

  • Pentax K200D

    Pentax's K200D entry-level SLR gives a lot of bang for the buck and has better performance than last year's model.

  • Canon EOS-1Ds Mark III

    The 1Ds Mark III marks another high-end success for Canon, though you'll need a lot of spare cash if you want to own this ground-breaking camera.

  • Canon EOS-1D Mark III

    Canon's EOS 1D Mark III offers a luxurious cocktail of high-resolution, extremely low noise, blazingly fast burst shooting, abundant customisation, and a build quality and ergonomic design among the best you'll find in today's camera market.
