Canon PowerShot S90 IS

Nostalgia seems to be the "it" thing in 2009, as camera manufacturers push for designs that hark back to the golden age of photography. The PowerShot S90 IS is a definite contender for ye olde camera of the year.
Canon PowerShot D10

Canon's first attempt at an underwater camera is pretty impressive. There are a couple of areas to improve on like its video implementation and overall design, but for the most part the PowerShot D10 gets it right.
Canon EOS 5D Mark II

The long-awaited successor to the 5D has arrived in the guise of the 5D Mark II. With its competent HD video functionality and excellent image quality, this camera doesn't disappoint.
Olympus Mju 9000

The Mju 9000 is one of the nicest Olympus compacts we've tested. It's the smallest camera you can get with 10x optical zoom, and we would recommend it unreservedly if it was a little cheaper and didn't have as many issues with noise.
Nikon Coolpix P90

The P90 is a competent superzoom with an impressive burst rate, but loses out against its competitors on image quality and features.
Olympus E-30

Though it has been surpassed by its competitors in video and image capturing capabilities, the E-30 presents a fun alternative to a run-of-the-mill dSLR.
Nikon AF-S DX 18-105mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR

The Nikon AF-S DX 18-105mm f3.5-5.6G ED VR lens is a good choice for someone who wants more than the basic kit lens has to offer, while remaining compact and lightweight.
Lensbaby Composer

Shattering all preconceived notions of focus, blur and sharpness, the Lensbaby Composer is more than just a toy — it's a proper photographic tool, picking up an Editors' Choice award.
