Boasting a 50 per cent increase in pixel count, the Canon EOS 50D is an update to the hugely capable but underrated EOS 40D -- which also boasts 14-bit colour and sensitivity up to ISO 12800.
As well as another two million pixels, and the switch from CCD to CMOS, the D90 adds auto-sensor cleaning and a superb high-res three-inch LCD, Live View, and ISOs up to a native ISO 3200.
Canon’s latest foray into the entry-level digital SLR market has resulted in the 10-megapixel EOS 1000D, based on the earlier EOS 400D.
As expected, shortly after news of the update to the tiny Olympus E-410 comes the replacement for the maker’s popular mid-range E-510.
Sigma’s DP1 is unusual for a digital compact camera, in that it has an APS-C-size sensor, as found in many digital SLRs.
The next step up from the Nikon D40x, the D60 adds advanced in-camera editing, including Nikon’s D-Lighting technology and an in-camera stop-action-animation mode.
Looking like one of the maker’s OM models from the 1980s, Olympus’ latest Four Thirds camera, the tiny E-420, replaces the E-410 as the world’s smallest digital SLR.
Over the entry-level EOS 400D, the new model adds 14-bit capture, Live View with both phase- (viewfinder AF) and contrast-detection AF, as well as a larger 3-inch LCD and faster continuous shooting.
The Cyber-shot W300 is a pocket-sized camera that offers one of best balances of size, performance and ease-of-use we've seen – and to us it’s one of the best looking to boot.
Sony’s HVR-Z1E has become a classic, and is now the standard tool of the independent videographer – so the HVR-Z7E has a lot to live up to.
Sony's latest digital SLR the mid-range Alpha 350, a 14-megapixel model, which is one of the maker’s first to feature Live View using a novel, pull-out 2.7-inch screen.
As automatic image-quality enhancement software goes, DxO Optics Pro stands out from the crowd with its user-installed base of camera and lens correction profiles.
A successor to the Olympus pro-grade E-1, the E-3 features a 10.1-megapixel-resolution Live MOS sensor with live view and built-in image stabilization.
Although essentially an upgrade to the K100D, with its diminutive dimensions, solid build and great picture quality, the latest Pentax has its roots in the past...
This 10.2-megapixel camera is designed for photo enthusiasts who have a basic command of photographic technique and want a camera that can handle almost any situation.
No more than five months after we reviewed Nikon’s entry-level six-megapixel D40, the company has released an upgraded version, the D40x.
The 900 Ti is one of Canon’s pricier Ixus compact cameras. For not much over £200, you get a tough, attractive titanium body equipped with a generous 10mp sensor.
The new FinePix S5 Pro replaces the popular S3 Pro adding a redesigned 12.34-megapixel sensor, a larger 2.5-inch screen, usable ISO 3200 top sensitivity and a new environmentally-sealed magnesium-alloy body.
The D40 is Nikon’s new entry-level digital SLR. It packs a similar 6mp sensor to that used in the outgoing D50 and D70s.
Unashamedly high-end, the G7 replaces the ageing 7mp G6, and features a new magnesium-alloy body, 10mp CCD and an optical stabilized lens with an impressive 6x zoom range.
