Reviews

  • Fujifilm FinePix S1500

    Even for a full-featured megazoom camera at a low price, the Fujifilm FinePix S1500 delivers average photo quality and mixed performance.

  • Fujifilm FinePix F200EXR

    Don't let its new sensor technology scare you off: the Fujifilm FinePix F200EXR is an excellent compact camera with shooting features for just about every type of user.

  • Canon PowerShot A480

    If you're looking for a cheap, easy-to-use camera under AU$200 you could do far worse than the PowerShot A480. Design issues aside, it's a capable compact with decent image quality.

  • Canon PowerShot SX110 IS

    Though it's certainly a good, inexpensive megazoom camera, some aspects of the Canon PowerShot SX110 IS falls a bit short of its predecessor.

  • Kogan Full HD 1080p Video Camcorder Camera

    Kogan's camcorder talks a big talk at a low asking price. Although it doesn't deliver to the same standards as its competitors, it does offer an interesting choice for very entry level videographers.

  • Nikon D90

    In the two-party race that will never end, D90 selected D-Movie as its running mate. Upon close examination though, D-Movie was found to be severely underdone. Good thing then that D90's photo-taking base is so strong and competent.

  • Fujifilm FinePix F60fd

    It may not be brimming with new features and the controls are all over the shop, but the Fujifilm FinePix F60fd looks great and so do the pictures. Capable automatic settings make this a true point-and-shoot, with clever face detection helping it stand out from the crowd. We just wish it weren't so confusing.

  • Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX3

    The LX3 is a good camera with an excellent feature set that positions it way beyond any conventional point-and-shoot on the retail shelves today.
