Fujifilm FinePix S200EXR
The S200EXR stands on its own as a hybrid between a superzoom and SLR, with a 14.3x optical zoom lens and Fuji's Super CCD sensor. Expect great pictures but be prepared for backaches.
-
Canon EOS 7D
Canon has created a proficient prosumer digital SLR with the 7D, sporting excellent specifications and performance such as burst shooting speed and HD movie recording.
-
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.
-
Samsung WB550
The WB550 has a wide-angle lens, and a long zoom designed for travellers and photographers looking for a bit more flexibility.
-
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.
-
Sony Alpha DSLR-A380
While the Sony Alpha DSLR-A380 is a solid and inexpensive dSLR with a few nice features that will probably satisfy many shooters, it doesn't deliver quite enough on any front to outshine competitors.
-
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.
-
Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX1
As long as you don't want to make enlargements from full-sized images, the DSC-HX1 is an interesting, fully featured superzoom. Just beware of that exorbitant price.
