Reviews

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.
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.
Olympus E-410

Olympus' compact dSLR for newbies, the Evolt E-410, is a decent choice if you're looking to save space in your bag, but issues with its automatic exposure and white balance make it an unsatisfactory option as a first 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-L1

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-L1 is Panasonic's first digital SLR, and it's the second digital SLR to feature a live-view LCD screen.
Olympus E-330

The Olympus E-330 digital SLR is a very good midrange dSLR with unique live scene viewing on its large LCD.
Kodak EasyShare Printer Dock Series 3

Top-notch photos and easy operation are offset by a big, clumsy design and expensive prints.
Olympus C-7070 Wide Zoom

Enthusiasts will enjoy the rich set of control options but will find some aspects of the camera disappointing.
