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

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 examined the data from more than 8000 readers to reveal exactly what sort of reliability, customer service and satisfaction you can expect in 2007.

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

Successor to the ubiquitous 350D, Canon's affordable yet powerful 400D D-SLR is a serious weapon whether an amateur or pro.

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

An expensive camera, but one offering superb image quality, features and handling

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

The entry-level market is heating up with new cameras from Canon, Pentax, and Sony.

A completely new digital SLR system has arrived in the shape of the Olympus E-1 and is perhaps the most eagerly awaited professional camera this year.

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.

Local pricing on Sony’s A350 just announced, and it looks like giving Canon and Nikon a run for their money.

Superb build quality and performance make this a worthwhile upgrade for serious amateurs.

The Nikon Coolpix 5400 is the descendent of the Coolpix 5000. In the revamp, it has gained a new 1/1.8in CCD and 4x optical zoom but also loses a couple of useful features, like the LCD status panel and RAW file mode. True, there is a TIFF option, but this is a backwards move in our view.

For a DSLR that does everything an amateur is ever likely to want, with a terrifyingly cheap price tag, look no further.

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.

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

If there's someone in your life without a digital camera, there's never been a better time to get them started. Compact cameras now offer 8-12 megapixels for under $500, and provide large LCDs for easy viewfinding and shot setup as well as automatic face recognition, multiple focal points and more!

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?

The lack of a separate status LCD is annoying, but the 400D is great value and capable of great quality
