Canon Digital Cameras, Superzoom

Canon PowerShot SX120 IS

Rival compact superzooms may be speedier, have more features and sport sleeker designs, but the 10-megapixel PowerShot SX120 IS with 10x zoom has an ace up its sleeve: its best-in-class photos. Clean, sharp and offering plenty of detail, its photos also deliver vivid and generally excellent colours

Canon PowerShot SX1 IS

The 10-megapixel PowerShot SX1 IS superzoom is one of the best cameras in its class, providing similar performance to a digital SLR, plus a 20x zoom lens and HD video, which dSLRs can't provide. Some irritating design quirks are compensated for by speedy performance and good picture quality

Canon PowerShot SX110 IS

What the relatively compact, 9-megapixel PowerShot SX110 IS megazoom camera sacrifices in speed is more than made up for by its arguably best-in-class picture quality. It's also reasonably priced, and offers enough features to appeal to both inexperienced and seasoned users

Canon PowerShot SX10 IS

With a new 20x optical zoom, image stabilisation, a 10-megapixel sensor and full manual control if you want it, the new Canon PowerShot SX10 IS provides a lot for your money. Its zoom gives you the equivalent of 560mm, which is some pretty serious magnification on a solid, well-made snapper

Canon EOS 50D

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

Canon EOS 1000D

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?

Canon PowerShot S5 IS

The Canon PowerShot S5 IS is sturdy, fast and easy to use. With a 12x image stablised superzoom, it produces sharp, colourful images. The zoom even works when you switch to movie capture mode, making this camera a well-priced alternative to many dSLRs on the market

Canon PowerShot G9

Look again -- it's not the G7 all over again but the updated Canon PowerShot G9. Although it strikes a similar pose to the G7, it's more than just a pretty face. The G9 has improved photo quality and restored RAW format support while maintaining excellent performance. Old is new again

Canon EOS-1D Mark III

Canon EOS-1D Mark II N

Canon maintains its pro leadership with its 8-megapixel EOS-1D Mark II N, the fastest-shooting digital SLR on the market. Made for magazine photographers covering news and sports, the Mark II N also works well for portrait shooters who want a versatile, small-format digital camera

Canon PowerShot S3 IS

An upgrade to 6 megapixels and a 51mm LCD from the lovely PowerShot S2 IS, the S3 IS fast and responsive with a flip and twist LCD and a high-quality lens with effective optical image stabilisation. Its combination of features, performance and relatively compact design certainly gives superzoom fans a compelling alternative

Editor's rating 7.7

Canon EOS 30D

Aside from a few performance tweaks, the Canon EOS 30D is the same camera as its predecessor, the poular 20D. It has an almost identical set of pro-level, extremely customisable features and excellent performance. It also yields the same superb photos, especially at high-ISO sensitivity settings

Canon EOS 5D

The Canon EOS 5D is all about its huge 12.8-megapixel sensor -- it's not as robust as most dSLRs, its performance is less than impressive and the preset picture styles require tweaking, but its image quality is exceptional. And at a relatively low price, you can't argue with that

Editor's rating 7.9

Canon PowerShot S2 IS

The Canon PowerShot S2 IS boasts a 5-megapixel sensor, a 12x zoom lens and a 46mm LCD. Add a full complement of manual controls, as well as high-quality video with stereo sound, and the S2 IS is sure to impress photo enthusiasts
