Excellent performance and features, but at a price that’s too high

Another compact crams in too many megapixels. But if you never look at pictures at pixel-level you’ll be dead pleased with this Pentax

A solid entry level DSLR with anti-shake and impressive design.

Nokia turns out a camera phone we'd be happy to ditch our digital camera for. Check out the pics, and our first impressions.

Dreaming of a super-skinny touchscreen compact for Christmas? For around $400, the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T77 has finally convinced us touchscreen cameras are a good thing.

A superb DSLR that’s a joy to use, but the high price and poor software damage value

The best of the rest. Who's reporting what in the world of PCs, technology, science, broadband, sci-fi, products and more:

Good value thanks to a decent 18-70mm kit lens and camera-based anti-shake
