Reviews

  • Olympus Mju 7020

    We're a bit ambivalent about the Olympus Mju 7020. It's got a wide-angle lens and a relatively long zoom at 7x, but misses out on good picture quality and class-leading features like HD movie recording.

  • Sony Alpha DSLR-A380

    While the Sony Alpha DSLR-A380 is a solid and inexpensive dSLR with a few nice features that will probably satisfy many shooters, it doesn't deliver quite enough on any front to outshine competitors.

  • Nikon D3000

    As long as you don't expect too many fancy bells and whistles, you won't be disappointed with the quality and performance of the D3000.

  • Sony Alpha DSLR-A330

    The Sony Alpha DSLR-A330 is a solid entry-level dSLR that will surely have its fans, but unless you really want Live View its cheaper sibling, the A230, is a better deal.

  • Sony Alpha DSLR-A230

    The Sony Alpha DSLR-A230 is a solid entry-level dSLR that will surely have its fans, and it's a better deal than its slightly higher-end sibling, the A330.

  • Canon EOS 500D

    The 500D is a very capable camera that is ideal for someone entering the world of digital SLRs. The inclusion of high-definition video adds even more appeal to the already good-looking package.

  • Nikon Coolpix L100

    The L100 is a curious contender for the superzoom crown. It only has a 15x optical zoom and is hampered by a lack of manual controls, but it is light and portable. Just don't expect stellar image quality.

  • Ricoh GX200

    As a portable alternative to a dSLR, the GX200 is an incredibly competent camera for serious photographers. Some noise and styling issues aside, Ricoh has clearly put an incredible amount of thought into this little package.

DIYs and How-to

  • Better digital photos

    We're sure you're a fantastic digital photographer, who never ends up with red-eye or a weird low-light glow, always organises photos perfectly, and can capture the spots on a ladybug from just a few inches away -- in focus, too! But just in case you're not, why not let an expert show you the ropes?
