Nikon D3 review
Reviews For years, Nikon users had been asking their favoured camera maker for a dSLR with a full-frame sensor (the same size as a 35mm frame of film). Sony's dual-sensor approach provides a much nicer experience, though you won't find it on a camera of...

Canon EOS 5D review
Reviews For some photographers, a sensor the same size as a frame of 35mm film (24mm by 36mm) -- often referred to as full frame -- is the Holy Grail of digital SLR technology. And also in contrast to smaller-sensor cameras, it means that lenses will...

Olympus C-7070 Wide Zoom review
Reviews Although it shares a 7-megapixel sensor and key features with its stablemate, the C-7000, the Olympus C-7070 Wide Zoom is an entirely different beast. ISO values from ISO 80 to 400 can be set automatically or manually.The sophisticated autofocus...

Olympus Evolt E-330 camera kit review
Reviews Olympus gives you a choice between an LCD preview generated via a CCD in the optical path (Live View A) or a mirror lockup mode in which the LCD shows exactly what's on the NMOS capture sensor (Live View B)

Sigma DP1 review
Reviews It uses the same unique three-layer Foveon sensor, but this time in a compact body with a fixed focal-length 28mm equivalent lens. The result is a loss of definition and clarity at a pixel level.But the DP1's Foveon sensor has three layers, one...

Samsung NV11 review
Reviews With matte black finishes, prominent, blue-ringed lenses and unusual touch sensor controls, Samsung's style-minded NV cameras are pretty hard to miss. As mentioned earlier, you can easily access manual focus in any of those modes and change your...

Reviews With its 14-megapixel CCD, flip-up LCD, sensor-shift image stabiliser and built-in wireless flash controller, the feature-packed Sony Alpha DSLR-A350 seems like a cornucopia of photographic goodness for the budget shopper.

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W200 review
Reviews We couldn't have asked for a better example of the evils of sensor-resolution specmanship than Sony's 12- megapixel Cyber-shot DSC-W200. Image qualityHowever, when it comes to image-related performance and image quality, the W200 tanks, mostly...

Microsoft LifeCam VX-7000 review
Reviews Like Logitech's QuickCam Pro 9000, the £45 Microsoft LifeCam VX-7000 features a 2-megapixel sensor, but if you use any resolution above 640x480 pixels, the resulting video is choppy. The camera's 2-megapixel sensor struggled when recording video at...

Nikon D40x review
Reviews When the Nikon D40 came out late last year, one of the chief complaints people had was that it only had a 6-megapixel imaging sensor. Not being the type to ignore its customers, Nikon has introduced the D40x, which is nearly identical to the D40...

Sony Handycam HDR-HC7 review
Reviews They share the same Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T* 10x zoom lens, though the tiny difference in sensor sizes results in a relatively insignificant disparity in focal lengths. Incorporating Sony's 1/2.9-inch 3-megapixel ClearVid CMOS sensor, the HC7 outspecs...

Ricoh GX200 review
Reviews With its 12-megapixel sensor, wideangle zoom and hands-on controls, the £350 Ricoh GX200 sounds like the perfect solution -- an SLR in miniature. And then there's the ability to shoot raw files, which gives you more post-processing flexibility...

Canon Digital IXUS 800 IS review
Reviews Its 6-megapixel sensor works with its image-stabilised f/2.8-to-f/5.5 35mm-to-140mm lens (35mm equivalent) and can hit sensitivity settings as high as ISO 800. It shares the same 6-megapixel sensor as its peers, the IXUS 60 and IXUS 65 but has a...

Olympus FE-300 review
Reviews As you try to cram more and more pixels onto a small sensor, problems like noise tend to overtake the picture. Conversely, if you put fewer pixels on a large sensor, like the 6-megapixel Canon EOS 350D digital SLR, photos tend to come out looking...

Sony Handycam HDR-HC1 review
Reviews On one hand, the HC1's 2.8-megapixel CMOS sensor delivers visibly sharper 1080i HD video (via the HDV format) and standard MiniDV in a surprisingly compact, generally well-designed body. For the HC1's sensor, Sony uses a 1/3-inch, 3-megapixel CMOS...
