| Review summary | Great photo quality and excellent continuous-shooting performance are just two of the Canon EOS 40D's many attractions 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 |
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 |
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 |

Canon EOS 550D
Good dSLR, but you're paying for HD movies and high ISOs. The basic image quality hasn't moved on much
Panasonic Lumix DMC-FS11
Solid and pocketable, but not versatile enough to make the best of darker conditions
Canon IXUS 105
While a thing of beauty physically, its average pictures and trailing-edge tech fail to inspire
