Reviews

Canon EOS 550D

The Canon 550D has the best implementation of video on a digital SLR yet, and matches it with excellent still image quality.
Canon PowerShot S90 IS

As long as you're not expecting dSLR speed in a tiny body, the Canon PowerShot S90 is an excellent compact camera for advanced amateurs.
Sony Alpha DSLR-A550

If you're a Live View-oriented shooter who doesn't care about colour accuracy, the Sony Alpha DSLR-A550's good performance and decent noise profile make it attractive for the money.
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 A3000 IS

The A3000 IS features a 4x optical zoom lens, a 2.7-inch LCD screen and now runs on Lithium-ion batteries.
Canon Legria HFS11

An excellent flash-based prosumer HD camcorder, the Canon Legria HFS11 has the advantage of an excellent image stabiliser but it disappointingly lacks an eye-level viewfinder.
Canon Pixma MP990

Canon's Pixma MP990 should appeal to photo types wanting good quality, but they'll need a little patience to go along with it.
Canon EF 70-200mm f2.8L IS II

Canon's EF 70-200mm f2.8L IS II USM lens is a successor to its EF 70-200mm f2.8L IS USM lens that was launched in 2008.
