Typical price: £708
What is it: Top-of-the-range digital SLR with anti-shake
What we think: GX-20's got the specs to tackle Nikon and Canon but not the polish

Tags: samsung, lens, sensor, alpha
We like:
The 14 million pixels; rich and vivid results; effective anti-shake
We don't like:
Coarse autofocus; poor kit lens; some awkward controls
CNET UK judgement:
It's hard to understand why anyone who knows a little about camera history would choose a Samsung-branded camera over a Pentax. It wouldn't be so bad if the GX-20 was actually better in some ways than the K20D, but it's actually the other way round. The GX-20 is well-specced but flawed -- solid but crude

Canon PowerShot A2100 IS
We wish it were slightly faster, but it offers a useful 6x zoom and great photo quality
Canon PowerShot A480
Fuss-free compact that takes good photos given the price. Just don't expect too much from it
Canon Digital IXUS 990 IS
Good camera, but it's underspecified and overpriced, even compared to other IXUS models
Fujifilm FinePix S1500
Its lens and image quality aren't great, but it's a good option for beginner photographers
