Photo quality edges higher as Samsung’s G600 joins the megapixel ranks.

Not flawless, but Sony’s debut DSLR impresses with a 10.2-megapixel resolution and built-in anti-shake.

Nokia’s new phones include a 5 megapixel camera, “pedestrian mode” GPS, music downloads and more 3G.

This Christmas season, the sweet spot in digital cameras, and the place where the most competition is taking place, is in the 3 megapixel arena. And it's with this in mind that Creative has launched its first 3.2 megapixel camera - and at the very competitive price of only $399.

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

Can you ditch your compact digital camera yet? We test the latest batch of phone cameras to find out.

Samsung will demo a 7-megapixel cameraphone and a smartphone with a 3MB hard drive for playing music at this week's Cebit technology trade show in Germany.

Along with the Sony Cyber-shot P-93, the Canon Powershot A95 is the big lad of this roundup with a pretty decent 5-megapixel CCD. The rest vary from 3-4-megapixel. While this does give the Canon a bit of an edge over the competition in terms of resolution and functionality, it's the camera's other attributes that cemented this unit in the top three.

A favourable choice for the megapixel-focused buyers on a budget

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

With huge LCDs, underwater capabilities and high resolutions for under $450, now is the time to buy.

The S5000 is one of the best-looking SLR-style digital cameras we’ve seen and comes from the same lines at the S602 Zoom. The plastic casing is solidly built but feels much lighter than the 448g our scales declared. This is mostly down to the excellent ergonomics – the hand grip is perfectly designed for one-handed shooting.

Face detection and motion analysis thrown in.

The Kodak EasyShare LS743 is one of the new generation of mid-range digital cameras hitting the market. At its core is a 4 megapixel CCD, capable of 2,304 x 1,728 resolution, which sits behind a Schneider-Kreuznach C-Variogon lens with 2.8x optical zoom.

Rarely has a new camera received as much attention as the EOS 300D, released amid a flurry of excitement among photographers and a massive marketing campaign. Why the fuss? Because it's a true 6.3-megapixel digital SLR for under $2,000 including lens. It sounds expensive in the context of the cameras in this month's digital cameras Labs, but the previous generation of several models in that test were nudging a grand when they were released.

The EasyShare CX4230 is a 2.1-megapixel unit with 16MB internal memory, ability to write to both SD and MMC, 3x optical zoom, auto focus, USB and PC card connectivity, and video-out.

A nice little camera that uses a 0.8-megapixel CCD compared to the 1.3-megapixel of the MVX2i. As a result, it does not offer the same near-broadcast image quality. Having said that, there is little wrong with the images it produces. The MV5i has eight shooting modes; records still images; and comes with a comprehensive range of software.

The Optio 550 is the first Pentax camera we’ve reviewed in the Labs. It’s the cheapest 5-megapixel device here and, despite the slim dimensions, crams in a 5x optical zoom.

A superb camera that takes fantastic pictures, and offers excellent portability and versatility
