Reviews

Olympus E-PL1

The E-PL1 is the entry-level Micro Four Thirds camera from Olympus' Pen series. It now has an integrated flash, which will please those who missed it on the E-P1 and E-P2.
Canon PowerShot G11

Though it doesn't offer features like an interchangeable lens or a tiny size, the Canon PowerShot G11 still delivers a good shooting experience for photography enthusiasts. Plus it's the only model that includes an optical viewfinder.
Canon PowerShot SX20 IS

The Canon PowerShot SX20 IS is a solid, but not standout, superzoom option for the money.
Nikon D3000

As long as you don't expect too many fancy bells and whistles, you won't be disappointed with the quality and performance of the D3000.
Olympus E-P1

Though it's rather expensive, we can't help adoring the E-P1. The pictures it takes with the included lenses are mostly great, just don't expect compact-like features such as a viewfinder and flash to be included.
Olympus E-620

If you've been hankering after an Olympus E-30 but baulked at the price, don't despair ... just get the E-620 instead. It's a competent, capable digital SLR in the vein of its older sibling, but a lot smaller and cheaper.
Canon EOS 500D

The 500D is a very capable camera that is ideal for someone entering the world of digital SLRs. The inclusion of high-definition video adds even more appeal to the already good-looking package.
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.
