Canon EF-S 18-55mm IS kit lens

The Canon EF-S 18-55mm IS kit lens is a solidly performing medium-zoom lens, with good optics and image stabilisation, that will appeal to more than just the entry-level crowd.
Ricoh GR Digital II

The GR Digital II is a cute compact camera that might appeal to street photographers looking to step away from a rangefinder and into digital, but doesn't deliver the features, performance, or image quality it should given its steep price tag.
Canon EOS-1Ds Mark III

The 1Ds Mark III marks another high-end success for Canon, though you'll need a lot of spare cash if you want to own this ground-breaking camera.
Canon EOS 400D

The Canon 400D remains a very good first dSLR, with a balance of automatic, semi-automatic and manual controls to progress through as your creative photography skills improve.
Nikon Coolpix S4

The Nikon Coolpix S4 resurrects the company's classic swivel-lens design with modern touches.
Canon EOS 20D

A nicely designed dSLR with class-leading resolution, speed, and low-light performance.
