Nikon D80 review

The Nikon D80 -- with 10.2 megapixels, lightning-fast performance, high-quality images with very low noise and a heaping pile of convenience features -- will not disappoint. If you already own some Nikon lenses and have been waiting for an affordable 10.2-megapixel dSLR, this one is a definite winner Read more

Pentax K20D review

It's neither entry level nor professional dSLR, but the Pentax K20D sits comfortably in between the two categories. Boasting 14 megapixels and a load of excellent features, this shooter can run with the big boys while still being small enough to carry without hurting your back Read more

Leica V-Lux 1 review

A repackaged version of Panasonic's Lumix DMC-FZ50, the most attractive feature of the Leica V-Lux 1 superzoom camera is its lens: a Leica DC Vario-Elmarit 12x optical zoom. Coupled with Panasonic's optical image stabilisation, this long reach becomes even more useful. It's a lot more expensive than the Panasonic, though Read more

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ50 review

Superzooms are nothing new but some are emerging that offer a viable substitute for an SLR. With a 35mm-to-420mm, 12x optical zoom and a 10.1-megapixel CCD sensor, the Lumix DMC-FZ50 is an attractive option for photographers who crave artistic control but don't want to bother with interchangeable lenses Read more

Fujifilm FinePix S5 Pro review

Fujifilm's Finepix S5 Pro is the spitting image of the Nikon D200, from the outside at least. Feature-wise, its boasting point is Fujifilm's Super CCD SR Pro imaging sensor, which aims to create a wider dynamic range than you'd get from a normal sensor Read more

Sony Handycam DCR-SR80 review

If you're the type of videographer that puts the camcorder in Easy mode and concentrates on pointing the lens in the right direction and zooming when appropriate, the Sony Handycam DCR-SR80 should be great for you. Performance is pleasing and image quality is impressive -- you could definitely do a lot worse Read more

Olympus E-510 review

If you're ready to move on from your compact to an SLR but not entirely ready to let go of the compact's framing style, the Olympus E-510 is your answer. Using a Live View LCD preview mode, it helps you gently make the transition. Loads of features will also help as you to bigger and better things Read more

Sony Alpha DSLR-A100 review

Sony's first digital SLR marks the Japanese giant's entry into the top division of digital still imaging. With a 10.2-megapixel CCD sensor, a bevy of convenience features such as eye-start autofocus and a CCD-shift image stabilisation system, Sony has delivered a worthy competitor in the sub-£800 dSLR market Read more

Hitachi DZ-GX3300E review

Hitachi's DZ-GX3300E won't blow you away with its middle-of-the-road image quality, but a quick start-up time and the ability to edit video in the camera might appeal. Similarly, the camera's 10x optical zoom, 3-megapixel CCD and fairly standard feature set will neither wow nor disappoint Read more

Canon PowerShot TX1 review

Every now and again, a company will make a product just to turn some heads and make a statement -- Canon's PowerShot TX1 is just such a camera, with a 10x optical zoom lens, optical image stabilisation, and the ability to record high-definition video Read more
