Reviews

  • Canon PowerShot SX20 IS

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

  • AgfaPhoto DC-600uw

    The AgfaPhoto is a cheap, knockabout waterproof camera that's ideal for life at the beach. The feature set and image quality is average but for the price you can't go too far wrong.

  • 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 Tough 6010

    The 6010 does exactly what it says on the tin and takes photos in extreme circumstances. It's unfortunate that they're not the best photos they could be.

  • Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX1

    Sony's DSC-TX1 is an exciting step forward for compact cameras, pushing for better image quality rather than more megapixels — and it pulls it off in style.

  • Canon EOS 1D Mark IV

    The big daddy of digital SLR cameras has arrived — ladies and gentlemen, start your engines.

  • Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF1

    The GF1 is Panasonic's third micro four thirds camera, and is set to go head-to-head against the Olympus E-P1.
