In the 12.3-megapixel Pen E-PL1, Olympus has finally made a Micro Four Thirds camera for the masses. It's cheaper and more plasticky than its predecessors, the Pen E-P1 and Pen E-P2, but it's actually superior. It offers better handling, more versatility, and really excellent picture quality Read more

Sony NEX-5 review

The 14.2-megapixel NEX-5 aims to offer the image quality and interchangeable lenses of a digital SLR in a smaller, simpler body. If you're stepping up from a standard compact camera, you'll probably find this remarkably small and beautifully made snapper a real delight Read more

Panasonic Lumix DMC-G3 review

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-G3 Micro Four Thirds camera is easy to recommend. It offers the performance and versatility of a digital SLR in a scaled-down form, without ramping up the price. Read more

Panasonic Lumix DMC-G2 review

The 12.1-megapixel Lumix DMC-G2 is a great Micro Four Thirds camera. It feels very well made and it shoots vivid, sharp pictures. Its heaps of complicated features can make it disorientating to use, but there's plenty to get your teeth stuck into, and the touchscreen is a welcome extra Read more

Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF1 review

Part of a new breed of camera that aims to combine the image quality and features of a digital SLR with the convenience of a compact, the 12.1-megapixel Lumix DMC-GF1 is a tantalising proposition. It costs a packet, but its photos are excellent and its build quality is really something special 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

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

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-R1 review

An easily rotated LCD screen, plenty of manual controls, a sharp Carl Zeiss lens and a 10-megapixel sensor recommend the DSC-R1, an intriguing bridge between the world of user-friendly prosumer cameras and the more complicated world of high-quality digital SLRs Read more

Casio Exilim EX-F1 review

If you've ever missed a great photo waiting for automatic focus or a flash, you'll know the importance of high-speed shooting. Casio's Exilim EX-F1 takes it to the extreme, capable of capturing up to 60 full-resolution snaps -- or a mind-boggling 1,200 low-res pics -- in a single second Read more
