EOS 400D review
The EOS 400D retains the compact and lightweight body of the 350D, but add a new 10mp sensor, a 9-point autofocus system, a larger 2.5-inch screen, and Picture Styles.

Aperture 1.5 review
With version 1.5, Apple has addressed most of the shortcomings that have kept many photographers away from Aperture. There’s still room for improvement, though.

D2Xs review
Nikon’s D2Xs is the successor to the company’s top-flight 12.4-megapixel D2X professional digital SLR. The new model features a new 2.5-inch screen, along with an improved viewfinder, enhanced metering accuracy, longer battery life and a raft of user-friendly tweaks.
-
D80 review
The Nikon D80 digital SLR is the successor to the company’s highly regarded D70 and D70s models. It features a 10.2-megapixel CCD, large 2.5-inch screen, and an improved 11-point autofocus system.
-
Alpha 100 review
The Alpha 100 is Sony’s first digital SLR. Based on assets from Konica Minolta’s photographic business, and the 10.2mp camera reflects the collaboration between the two companies.
-
Capture NX review
Capture NX is Nikon’s new RAW conversion utility. It was created in collaboration with independent developer Nik Software, and replaces Nikon’s Capture 4.
-
PowerShot S3 IS review
The PowerShot S3 IS is only a marginal upgrade from the S2 IS. The new model boasts an extra megapixel, a larger screen, and slightly improved sensitivity.
-
EOS 30D review
The EOS 30D is Canon’s latest mid-range SLR digital camera. It builds on the strengths of the semi-pro EOS 20D, but features the same 8.2-megapixel CMOS sensor.
-
E-330 review
The release of Olympus’ E-330 digital SLR is something of a surprise. The company recently introduced the E-500 to replace the E-300 as the company’s entry-level digital SLR. The new E-330 is prettier, but you can’t miss the similarities between it and the E-300.
-
After Effects 7.0 review
Adobe hasn’t taken its foot off the pedal for AE’s seventh major release. High-end users working on digital intermediate (DI) and digital film projects will love the expanded colour space, with support for HDR 32-bit media.
-
GR Digital review
Ricoh’s fixed-lens 35mm film-based GR1 and GR21 compacts achieved something of a cult following for wide-angle aficionados. The new 8mp GR Digital is a great improvement on the originals.
-
D200 review
Sitting between the company’s D2-series and the popular D70s, Nikon’s 10.2-megapixel D200 is the long-overdue replacement for the D100 digital SLR. It uses the same DX-size CCD sensor as its six-megapixel forerunner, and is compatible with many Nikkor and Nikon-fit interchangeable lenses.
-
EOS-1D Mark II N review
The EOS-1D Mark II N is the second upgrade to Canon’s action-orientated EOS-1D professional digital SLR. The first update saw Canon introduce an 8.2-megapixel CMOS sensor in a pro camera for the first time, replacing the 4.1-megapixel CCD of the original EOS-1D.
-
Pro815 review
Samsung isn’t a name that immediately springs to mind when thinking of high-end digital cameras – most of their previous models have been point-&-shoots aimed at the budget-conscious. But that is about to change.
-
Aperture review
The huge attention and adulation given to Apple Aperture even before it shipped proves that Steve Jobs’ salesmanship is still fully operational. Aperture is a very fast image workflow utility that lets you preview, sort, tag, and adjust digital images in a systematic way.
-
EOS 5D review
The new EOS 5D is now the least expensive full-frame digital SLR available. At £1,958 plus VAT, it’s still pricey compared to the mass-market EOS 350D and the mid-range EOS 20D, but only half that of Canon’s other full-frame device, the EOS 1Ds MK II.
-
Paint Shop Pro X review
Paint Shop Pro has been around for years, but this is the first major version to be released after its acquisition by Corel. While often seen as a poor man’s Photoshop, there’s enough here to satisfy people who infrequently edit images, such as 3D modellers and animators, and video editors and compositors. At £99, it’s also a lot less expensive.
-
Dynax 5D review
At under £400 for the body alone, the Dynax 5D competes with other consumer digital single-lens reflex models such as Nikon’s D50, Canon’s EOS-350D, and Olympus’ E-300.
-
FinePix S9500 Zoom review
The nine-megapixel S9500 Zoom replaces the prosumer S20 Pro at the top of the FinePix range. There isn’t much difference between the two in terms of size – both cameras are bulky – but the new zoom lens makes the S9500 feel a much larger proposition.
-
Cybershot R1 review
The Cyber-shot-R1 is something of a departure for Sony. Historically, the company’s focus in terms of sensors has been centred on CCD technology, but this is its first camera to feature a large, low-noise, CMOS chip.
