Digital camera buying guide

So you're looking for a brand new compact digital camera? CNET Australia is here to help with our guide to choosing and buying a compact digital camera.

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.

Reviews

Olympus E-450

Olympus has announced yet another camera to contend for the title of the world's smallest dSLR. It's not much of an evolution from the E-420, but has a couple of extra features that have trickled down from its older siblings.
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.
Fujifilm FinePix S5600fd

The FinePix S6500fd is a lightweight megazoom which performs well in low-light with high ISO settings. But if you are a sports photographer, there are better cameras out there.
Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H5

Advanced amateurs who find dSLRs too bulky will like the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H5's versatility but lament the noise at higher ISOs.
