Best cameras of 2009

We take a look back at the best cameras that graced our presence in 2009, from SLR, Micro Four Thirds to compacts.

Olympus E-P2

Less than six months after the E-P1 was announced, Olympus has come out of the starting gates with the E-P2, an incremental update to the retro-inspired camera.

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.

  • Olympus Mju 7020

    We're a bit ambivalent about the Olympus Mju 7020. It's got a wide-angle lens and a relatively long zoom at 7x, but misses out on good picture quality and class-leading features like HD movie recording.

  • 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-450

    Olympus has announced yet another camera to contend for the title of the world's smallest dSLR. It's not much of an evolution from the E-420, but has a couple of extra features that have trickled down from its older siblings.

  • 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 Mju Tough 6000

    Though we tried to like the Tough 6000 thanks to its candybar styling, it's a fairly lacklustre camera in the performance stakes.

  • Olympus Mju Tough 8000

    While the Tough 8000 may be the most rugged camera on the market, it doesn't mean it's the best in terms of image quality and performance.

  • Olympus Mju 7000

    The Mju 7000 features a 12-megapixel sensor, as well as a 7x optical zoom and Olympus' beauty function, which is designed to enhance pictures of faces.
