Canon EOS 7D review

The pro-orientated, 18-megapixel EOS 7D digital SLR has a couple of minor flaws, but they're far outweighed by all the positives. Offering tank-like build quality, class-leading resolution, excellent high-ISO performance and brilliant continuous-shooting speeds, it's a fantastic camera Read more

Canon EOS 550D review

The 18-megapixel Canon EOS 550D is a very impressive digital SLR. Its photo quality hasn't moved on massively from that of its predecessor, the EOS 500D, but its high-definition videos are excellent, and its high-ISO performance is exceptional. It's pricey though Read more

Pentax K-7 review

The 14.6-megapixel K-7 is a great digital SLR. While Pentax's lens range isn't as good as that of rivals, and the camera lacks some finesse, it packs in plenty of genuinely useful features that its competitors just don't have. The depth and richness of its images are particularly striking, and it's built to last too Read more

Pentax K-m review

Will Pentax's newest attempt at challenging its rivals, Canon and Nikon, work? Rod Lawton introduces us to the 10-megapixel K-m, a digital camera designed specifically with beginners in mind. The K-m proves to be a sturdy, practical, straightforward and extremely likeable camera that produces depth and richness in its photos Read more

Sony Alpha DSLR-A300 review

While most dSLRs use CMOS sensors in order to provide live view, Sony's DSLR-A300 doesn't: It offers instant live view via a tilting LCD screen. Now that's pretty cool. Another bonus is that Sony's built-in Super SteadyShot anti-shake system works with any compatible lens, allowing you to produce vibrant, clear shots, no matter what the circumstances Read more

Nikon D300S review

Aimed at professionals, the 12-megapixel D300S is a great digital SLR. It offers fantastic picture quality, excellent high-definition movies, a super-tough body that feels like it's been hewn from granite, and some top-notch features. Its price tag may very well bring a tear to your eye though Read more

Canon EOS 50D review

The EOS 50D offers class-leading resolution, an amazing 6.3fps continuous shooting mode, a tough, magnesium alloy body and compatibility with all Canon EF-S and EF lenses. Though its 15-megapixel sensor has the highest resolution of any of its rivals, though, the pics aren't that much sharper, so do your research Read more

Samsung GX-20 review

This top-end digital SLR is not for beginners, that much is for sure. It's solid and produces accurate exposures with deeply colourful pictures, but there's also a crude side to its design. And, since it's essentially the same camera as the Pentax K20D, it's worth a scrutinising look, even if the price is right Read more

Canon EOS 1000D review

The Canon EOS 1000D reflects the narrowing gap between compacts and digital SLRs. With its lightweight build and 10.1-megapixel CMOS sensor, the dSLR is an unintimidating camera. Will its compact-style features pack enough punch to sway buyers from other entry-level shooters? Read more

Olympus E-420 review

Olympus' entry-level dSLR is the world's smallest and lightest digital SLR. An upgrade of the E-410, the E-420 boasts a larger, better, 69mm LCD, improved autofocus in live view mode, face detection and slightly faster continuous shooting Read more
