Reviews

  • Olympus FE-320

    It is easy to like the FE-320 for its stylish looks and feature-rich specifications. But what we like to applaud Olympus for is in making things work.

  • Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W150

    Available in black, red or silver, the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W150 offers 5x optical zoom, face detection and optical image stabilisation amongst its feature set.

  • Fujifilm FinePix J50

    The J50 is strictly for beginners who want a simple shooter to start exploring the world of photography. While the extensive modes make up for the lack of fancy features, little has been done to salvage the less-than-desired image quality.

  • Panasonic Lumix DMC-FS20

    If you just want a camera that takes good shots without having to understand photographic jargon, buy the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FS20.

  • Nikon Coolpix S210

    We can't ignore the demand for simple, pocketable and cheap cameras, but with almost no features, clunky controls and an uninspiring screen the S210 just isn't trying.

  • Canon EOS-1Ds Mark III

    The 1Ds Mark III marks another high-end success for Canon, though you'll need a lot of spare cash if you want to own this ground-breaking camera.

  • Kodak EasyShare V1253

    Fast shooting and pleasing images in an easy-to-use design make the Kodak EasyShare V1253 an attractive -- though not best-in-class -- option.

  • Olympus E-410

    Olympus' compact dSLR for newbies, the Evolt E-410, is a decent choice if you're looking to save space in your bag, but issues with its automatic exposure and white balance make it an unsatisfactory option as a first dSLR.
