Reviews

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.
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.
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

The WB550 has a wide-angle lens, and a long zoom designed for travellers and photographers looking for a bit more flexibility.
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.
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.
