Reviews

  • Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH1

    The Lumix DMC-GH1 proves that there's fight and fury in the Micro Four Thirds format, with brilliant HD video quality and great still images.

  • 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.

  • Nikon D5000

    Judged on its own merits, the D5000 is a great digital SLR for those wanting something a bit better than the entry-level D60 model, and equals or betters a lot of the performance specifications of the D90.

  • 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 Coolpix P90

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

  • Canon PowerShot G10

    The Canon PowerShot G10 is a solid digital camera for enthusiasts who want something more compact to complement a dSLR, but its performance leaves something to be desired.

  • 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.

  • Sony Alpha DSLR-A350

    Unless you're prepared to spend a disproportionate amount on a really good lens, the resolution bump offered by the Sony Alpha DSLR-A350 isn't worth the price.
