| Review summary | Sony's Alpha DSLR-A100 deserves consideration whether you're looking for an alternative to Canon and Nikon, you already own a selection of Dynax AF lenses, or you're looking for your first digital SLR Read full review |
Canon's EOS-1D Mark III offers a luxurious cocktail of high-resolution, extremely low noise, blazingly fast burst shooting, abundant customisation and a build quality and ergonomic design among the best you'll find in today's camera market Read full review |
Nikon's flagship dSLR packs a full-frame 12-megapixel sensor and is a highly versatile imaging powerhouse that lets photographers create images previously impossible to capture. As long as you can get used to this camera's solid weight, it's a definite step up from the D2Xs and produces high-quality photography. This one is definitely aimed at the pros, so amateurs beware Read full review |
The Canon EOS 7D offers awesome continuous-shooting speeds, an excellent HD movie mode with full manual controls, class-leading resolution, excellent high-ISO performance, and an all-metal, weather-sealed body. It's got a couple of glitches, but it's a corking camera Read full review |

Latest Digital camera Reviews
Nikon Coolpix S570
Feels more expensive than it is, and its pictures are slightly better than usual for its class
Panasonic Lumix DMC-FP8
Not much to look at, but it's actually a very good ultra-compact camera for snapshooters
Samsung PL60
Stylish, practical and pleasing to use. Its pictures aren't bad either, so it's a good buy at this price
