Reviews

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.
Panasonic Lumix DMC-FT1

For a camera that can cope with everything you throw at it, from a pool party to a safari, the Lumix DMC-FT1 is rather good at its job. Expect excellent quality HD video and great photos, if you can look past the slightly slow performance times.
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.
JVC Everio GZ-HD40

JVC's CMOS-based Everio GZ-HD40 finally offers AVCHD recording, but a few shortcomings keep us from giving it a full recommendation.
Kogan Full HD 1080p Video Camcorder Camera

Kogan's camcorder talks a big talk at a low asking price. Although it doesn't deliver to the same standards as its competitors, it does offer an interesting choice for very entry level videographers.
Onkyo TX-SR606

The Onkyo TX-SR606 offers tons of functionality for the price, but subpar video processing and improved competition means it's less of a standout receiver than last year's version.
Canon HG10

A solid hard-drive based HD camcorder, the Canon HG10 nevertheless has its share of annoying quirks.
