Pentax enthusiasts will be more than happy, but others may find it overwhelming

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

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.

Forget budget DSLR, this is for serious photography. Extravagant in almost every way, the D700 is superbly responsive and produces stunning images

The market for slimline touchscreen cameras is heating up. Nikon's S60 is almost button-less and has a large 3.5in screen for showing off your snaps - but how does it shape up to Sony's classy DSC-T77.

They may look big and complicated, but a digital slr is just as easy to use and takes far better pictures than a pocket digicam

Logan Booker puts lens to camera and takes a shot at digital photography.

Digital SLRs have never been more accessible price-wise. The Retail Warrior has the best deals to ensure your festive holidays are snap-happy.

More expensive than its direct competition, but thanks to its brilliant features the D80 is money well spent.

The Nikon Coolpix E3700 is the smallest camera here and by far the most pocketable. It features mag-alloy body, so that even though the camera's small, it's really sturdy. There's no hesitation involved in throwing this camera in a bag amongst your other gear.

The Nikon Coolpix 2500 is the latest addition to the Coolpix camera range, and is designed with the camera novice in mind.

Digital photography has made enormous strides in recent years, and as a result, the technology is being incorporated into affordable consumer products.

Ever since the dawn of the digital camera age Olympus has graced the market with a series of excellent products. Its C-800L may have had a lukewarm reception, but the C-820L soon rectified that.

High-performance digital cameras are appearing thick and fast at the moment. Take the innocent-looking Fuji MX-2700 (reviewed issue 21) and the Sony CyberShot DSC-55E (reviewed issue 22, p95): both are slim and sexy, yet boast resolutions of over two megapixel and features by the truckload.

The A700 has excellent image quality, but is let down by design quirks and the high price.

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.

The new Nikon D90, due to hit shelves in September, boasts unique 720p movie HD capabilities, a much improved sensor and surprisingly, a GPS option.

If were to believe the hyperbole, this technology will do for digital technology what the invention of the parachute did for skydiving.

A good camera but not the most inspiring. There’s better value elsewhere.

A very slim digital compact that’s capable of taking superb pictures. It only just misses out on a Recommended award.
