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.
-
Klipsch Image X5 headphones
The Klipsch Image X5 earphones are a bit of an investment, but they're worth it if you demand excellent audio quality and have had trouble with ear bud fit in the past.
-
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.
