We’ve had a sneak peak at the big camera expo in Brisbane this week to see what’s in store for photographers this year.

Canon are only the second manufacturer in the Australian market to provide a flash based video camera (Panasonic is the other). Daniel Long gives his first impressions.

The pics are the best we've ever seen from a camera phone. Nokia's N82 springs to the top of our "phones that will replace your camera" list.

It's official - flip phones are out, and touch phones are in, as shown by this week's major launch of a new crop of phones by Samsung, as it goes in to battle with the iPhone.

We like this camera a lot, and for a rugged day out it’s one of the most reliable snappers out there. We just wouldn’t shoot our best mate’s wedding on it.

The selling point of this camera is that it’s cheap – and it certainly excels in that department!

In the words of Amy Winehouse: they tried to make us buy this Kodak, but we said ‘no, no, no’

The camera giant throws its weight behind flash-memory with its first solid state video cameras. It's also the first from Canon to record at 1920 x 1080 Full HD.

Compact range includes touch screen, high definition slideshows and advanced facial detection.

An older Nikon wireless camera, that in its day was a superb 8-megapixel camera in its own right. Small, smart and destined for greatness

This Panny 'corder can shoot stills at a resolution of 4-megapixels, which makes it a match for a still camera

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

Still cleaning your camera lens with tissues? For shame. The Lenspen is a nifty device that's been around for years, and uses carbon tip to keep your camera in top condition.

Sanyo takes a different tack with its cheap, pistol-grip video/still camera. A curious option if you're already spending a few hundred dollars on a compact camera.

Ladies and gentleman, the lightweight E-420 has arrived. But can it beat the competition?

Olympus’ Four Thirds imaging system comes of age in a classy compact SLR that makes the rest look ordinary

A pint-sized camera that packs a punch, with consistently good performance in all conditions

Gotta love that revolving screen – but remind us again what exactly the point of it is

The V570 is a fine camera but isn’t for everyone. The ability to take wide-angle photos is a great feature, though there’s a slight trade-off in image quality compared to similarly priced snappers

A great still camera with a decent movie mode. The restrictions on movie length mean it’s only any good for short video ‘snapshots’, though, and not ideal for that holiday of a lifetime
