Reviews

  • Nikon D3S

    The Nikon D3S is the replacement for the professional workhorse, the D3, and sits alongside the D3X at the top of the Nikon FX sensor line-up.

  • Nikon D300s

    The D300s is a fast, reliable workhorse for the semi-professional or amateur photographer, and it feels great to use and makes picture taking a real pleasure. But if you don't need HD video, you might want to try the plain old D300 instead.

  • 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.

  • Olympus E-520

    The E-520 adds an appealing range of features to the existing Olympus line-up of dSLRs, but mostly for the first-time buyer. Apart from image stabilisation built into the body and the ability to use older lenses on the Four Thirds system, there is not much that really sets the E-520 apart from other cameras in its class.

  • Olympus E-420

    The Olympus E-420 is a good beginner's dSLR with an extremely compact footprint that should go well with travellers. Just don't expect any fancy features for this budget model.

  • Pentax K20D

    Pentax's 14-megapixel K20D is a great choice for a mid-range digital SLR and offers a lot of bang for the buck.

  • NIKKOR PC-E 24mm f/3.5D ED

    The PC-E NIKKOR 24mm f/3.5D ED lens is equipped with a tilt/shift mechanism that gives photographers the flexibility to manipulate image perspective, distortion and focus.

  • Nikon AF-S Micro 60mm f/2.8G ED

    The AF-S Micro Nikon 60mm f/2.8G ED lens allows photographers to shoot 1:1 life-size close-ups without the need for additional accessories.
