Exposure: Irsan Tedja

Events photographer Irsan Tedja lets us sneak a peek into his private collection of photos, from flowers to portraiture.

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.

Reviews

  • Ricoh CX2

    The CX2 is an attractive proposition on the outside: a CMOS sensor, 10x optical zoom and wide-angle lens, but inside there's a host of noise issues.

  • Pentax K-m

    We like the K-m and the image quality it offers, but having to fumble over the inconsistent metering and white balance can be an issue for users not familiar with manual exposure controls.

  • Ricoh CX1

    For a very reasonable price of AU$599 you get a proficient compact camera with heaps of features, great dynamic range and, dare we say, sexy styling for a Ricoh. Pity about the noise issues and lack of HD video, then.

  • Nikon AF-S DX 18-105mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR

    The Nikon AF-S DX 18-105mm f3.5-5.6G ED VR lens is a good choice for someone who wants more than the basic kit lens has to offer, while remaining compact and lightweight.

  • Tamron AF18-270mm f/3.5-f/6.3 Di II VC

    If you're in the market for a wide-angle to telephoto lens, the Tamron 18-270mm is a great lens to consider amongst the big brand offerings.

  • Sony Alpha DSLR-A300

    The A300 is the piggy in the middle of Sony's entry-level dSLR line-up. But does it suffer from middle child syndrome or is it the pick of the bunch?

  • 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.

  • Canon EF-S 55-250mm f4.0-5.6 IS lens

    A lightweight, compact design with its stabilisation and an affordable price make the Canon EF-S 55-250mm f4-5.6 IS a versatile lens for entry-level shooters and amateurs on a budget.
