Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX1

As long as you don't want to make enlargements from full-sized images, the DSC-HX1 is an interesting, fully featured superzoom. Just beware of that exorbitant price.

Olympus SP-570 Ultra Zoom

The 10-megapixel SP-570UZ boasts a 20x optical zoom lens, but poor performance diminishes its potential as an otherwise solid superzoom.

Reviews

  • Olympus E-510

    The Olympus E-510 has quirky exposure and white-balance issues, but its Live View and image stabilisation modes may make some photographers give this SLR a chance.

  • Canon PowerShot G9

    The Canon PowerShot G9 is a solid enthusiast camera for those who want something compact to complement a dSLR.

  • 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.

  • Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX2

    The LX2 ups the ante of the LX1 by upping the sensor resolution and LCD screen size of the 'triple wide' offering; it features a 16:9 wide aspect ratio CCD and LCD as well as a 28mm wide angle lens.

  • 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.

  • Olympus E-330

    The Olympus E-330 digital SLR is a very good midrange dSLR with unique live scene viewing on its large LCD.

  • 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.

  • Canon EOS 30D

    The 8-megapixel Canon EOS 30D should be on your short list for a semipro dSLR camera.
