Canon EOS 7D review

Mon, 09 Nov 2009 12:12:02 +0000

The pro-orientated, 18-megapixel EOS 7D digital SLR has a couple of minor flaws, but they're far outweighed by all the positives. Offering tank-like build quality, class-leading resolution, excellent high-ISO performance and brilliant continuous-shooting speeds, it's a fantastic camera

Ricoh CX2 review

Tue, 13 Oct 2009 11:02:01 +0000

The 9.3-megapixel CX2 compact superzoom with 10.7x zoom offers capabilities that wouldn't be out of place on a cutting-edge digital SLR, including plenty of focusing options and an excellent dynamic-range mode. It also feels very well-made and responsive

Nikon D300S review

Mon, 21 Sep 2009 14:14:02 +0000

Aimed at professionals, the 12-megapixel D300S is a great digital SLR. It offers fantastic picture quality, excellent high-definition movies, a super-tough body that feels like it's been hewn from granite, and some top-notch features. Its price tag may very well bring a tear to your eye though

Canon Digital IXUS 120 IS review

Fri, 18 Sep 2009 13:57:01 +0000

The 12-megapixel Digital IXUS 120 IS is difficult to resist, thanks to its combination of a tiny, attractive body, simple operation, and generally very good photos. Occasionally, its images can suffer from purple fringing, and it can also be sluggish, but this is one of the better ultra-compacts on the market

Casio Exilim EX-H10 review

Mon, 07 Sep 2009 14:38:02 +0000

The Exilim EX-H10 superzoom has plenty of appeal for travellers. Despite its highly versatile 10x zoom, it's slim enough to slide into a pocket, it sports a battery that'll last between four and five times longer than that of the average snapper and it offers a hi-def movie mode, too

Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF1: Putting the Micro in Micro Four Thirds

Wed, 02 Sep 2009 11:02:01 +0000

Looky here, it's a Micro Four Thirds camera that doesn't just look like a dSLR built for midgets. Panasonic's Lumix Lumix DMC-GF1 instead looks like a fat compact, but with dSLR features. We're excited

Pentax X70 review

Thu, 27 Aug 2009 12:21:02 +0000

Pentax's 12-megapixel X70 is a strong first attempt at a superzoom camera. It's not the fastest performer, but its build quality is solid, the 24x optical zoom is flexible and fun, and its photos are good compared to those of rivals. It also offers plenty of shooting options, while being easy to use

Pentax Optio WS80: Waterproof watch takes shallow pictures

Thu, 06 Aug 2009 13:30:02 +0000

The waterproof new Pentax Optio W80 may not be a great swimmer, but it certainly looks the part. Is it too small a fish in the sturdicam pond though?

Thu, 30 Jul 2009 11:15:02 +0000
