Canon EOS 7D
Canon has created a proficient prosumer digital SLR with the 7D, sporting excellent specifications and performance such as burst shooting speed and HD movie recording.
-
Fujifilm FinePix S1500
The S1500 is a mini-superzoom with a 12x optical zoom lens, panorama mode and a 10 megapixel sensor.
-
Sony Alpha A550
With 14.2 megapixels inside its CMOS sensor, the A550 is not quite the ball-busting camera like the A850, its older sibling. It also features quick AF live view and 3-inch LCD screen.
-
Sony Alpha A850
Sony's A850 is a full frame sensor digital SLR which is set to go head-to-head with Canon's 5D Mark II and Nikon's D700. With 24.6 megapixels inside and in-body image stabilisation it's certainly not a shrinking violet, either.
-
Samsung WB550

Sony Alpha DSLR-A380
While the Sony Alpha DSLR-A380 is a solid and inexpensive dSLR with a few nice features that will probably satisfy many shooters, it doesn't deliver quite enough on any front to outshine competitors.
-
Sony Alpha DSLR-A330
The Sony Alpha DSLR-A330 is a solid entry-level dSLR that will surely have its fans, but unless you really want Live View its cheaper sibling, the A230, is a better deal.
-
Nikon D3X
Normally we would express disappointment with a camera being overly similar to a predecessor, but not in this instance. Nikon has improved, refined and upped the megapixel count from the D3 to produce a professional-grade camera with every function you could ever wish for, apart from video recording.
