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.

Canon IXUS 120 IS
This is a great little compact camera equipped with pretty much everything you could ask for, like HD video and a stylish body, so we've awarded it our Editors' Choice award.

Canon PowerShot SX120 IS
Canon's SX120 IS pocket megazoom falls behind the competition in every aspect except photo quality.
-
Canon PowerShot SX20 IS
Superzooms abound in the new PowerShot range from Canon, with the SX20 featuring a 20x optical zoom, HD video recording, a 28mm wide-angle lens, and a 2.5-inch variable-angle LCD screen.

Canon PowerShot S90 IS
Nostalgia seems to be the "it" thing in 2009, as camera manufacturers push for designs that hark back to the golden age of photography. The PowerShot S90 IS is a definite contender for ye olde camera of the year.

Olympus SP-590 UZ
Aside from a debatable, but useful, 26x zoom lens, there's little that's notable about the Olympus SP-590 UZ.
-
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.
-
Canon PowerShot A2000 IS
The Canon PowerShot A2000 IS is lean on features beyond its stabilised 6x zoom lens, but it takes great photos and is easy to use.
