Unboxing the Nikon D3S
Fancy dropping close to AU$7000 on a camera? Sure you do. That's the price of the very flashy, very quick Nikon D3S. We've unboxed it just for you.
Nikon Coolpix S70
The S70 is a good stylish compact with the added bonus of an OLED touchscreen, but faces stiff competition from cheaper and equally competent cameras.

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 Legria HF20
As far as mid-range camcorders go, there's not much to fault the Canon Legria HF20 for; the image quality is good, the autofocus speedy and feature list fairly full.
-
Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH1
The Lumix DMC-GH1 proves that there's fight and fury in the Micro Four Thirds format, with brilliant HD video quality and great still images.
-
Ricoh GR Digital III
Packed full of features, the Ricoh GR Digital III won't appeal to every photographer, but for those looking for a fixed focal-length camera and something to complement a digital SLR, it's a great companion piece.
-
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.
-
Samsung ST50
Samsung's ST50 looks the part of a very compact digital point-and-shoot, but the images it produces could be sharper.
-
Nikon D3X
Normally we would express disappointment with a camera being overly similar to a predecessor, but not in this instance. Nikon has improved, refined and upped the megapixel count from the D3 to produce a professional-grade camera with every function you could ever wish for, apart from video recording.
