Two of the best small compacts on the market. Quality differences are on a knife edge, but the Canon wins for superior features and handling.

We've been lucky to have hands-on review time with two of the most hotly-anticipated compacts cameras we've seen for some time. See our photos and first impressions of the Powershot SX200 IS and Lumix DMC-TZ7 (also known as ZS3)

The Canon EOS 500D is capable of great results, but a wallet-draining way of getting HD video on a DSLR.

Great image quality and plenty of enthusiast features for a very reasonable price

Not much to tempt you over last year's HV20 but Canon still rules the roost when it comes to raw picture quality

Canon’s SLR fails to make the enormous splash of its predecessors, but it’s still a great camera in its own right.

Forget gold plated and diamond encrusted – if you've got three grand to spare and don't mind weighty snappers, this is the camera to blow it on

Superb, stylish, solid... but sabotaged by poor controls

A significant overhaul and a great camera. At this price it’s the best all-round package on the market

Superb print quality at consistently high speeds, and it’s packed with useful features too.

Beautiful, ultra-compact, super-slick and friendly to use, plus great quality. A winning combination from Canon.

A fast, high-quality all-in-one, but for running costs look for the MP610 first.

Fast, great quality prints at a decent price – the only real competition for the other Canon

We've found a digital compact under $150 that's not junk. Canon’s efforts to swamp the planet under five feet of compact cameras continues with its latest batch of PowerShot models.

Canon’s splashed into shallow end of the DSLR pool again with an entry-level model based on the 450D. Will it win gold or need water wings?

Canon continues the good work and delivers another winner with the MP610.

Canon’s first hard disk-based AVCHD camcorder gets it mostly right, with a good level of features and the best image quality we’ve yet seen from the format.

The best Canon home all-in-one yet, with flawless quality and an impressive feature list.

A slight speed boost and a new curvaceous shape keep Canon on top of the inkjet pile.

A decent enough addition to the legendary EOS range, but there are too many competitors at this price.
