Tweet
Canon's A-series of digital cameras have been the company's mainstay in the budget market and the new A520 (there's also an almost identical 3.2MP, A510 version too) is the new top of the Canon budget tree. A thorough revamp brings it right up to date...

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX7 review
REVIEW
28 March 2005 10:38 GMT
Tweet
If you haven’t already guessed I like the FX7. It has a combination of high-technology features such as the large 2.5-inch screen and optical image stabilisation that make it a cut above and that’s before we get to the stylish all-metal and oh so shiny...

Epson L-500V review
REVIEW
21 March 2005 6:23 GMT
Tweet
The Epson L-500V has been created, says Epson, to appeal to those snappers not enamoured of digital cameras with small LCDs. And the result is a stylish compact camera that has the ‘world’s highest resolution’ colour screen at 256 pixels per inch.

The C-370 is about as basic as a digital camera get without being so automated it even takes the shots for you. The little brother to Olympus' 4MP C-470 it is however styled completely differently, sharing not a jot with the bigger camera's design and...

Ricoh Caplio R1v review
REVIEW
28 February 2005 12:11 GMT
Tweet
Ricoh has been quietly beavering away building a range of neat, sophisticated digital cameras of which the R1v represents the latest incarnation at the top end of the company’s range. It updates its predecessor the R1 with an extra megapixel of resolution,...

Fuji FinePix S5500 review
REVIEW
7 February 2005 14:46 GMT
Tweet
One of the first things that hit you removing the S5500 from its box is its size; it’s very compact and its styling makes its handling extremely accomplished. Rubberised grips on its key handling surfaces - the right hand grip for example - make it great...

Konica Minolta DiMAGE Xg review
REVIEW
24 January 2005 6:25 GMT
Tweet
If you want a small, easily pocketed, yet stylish digicam the Konica Minolta DiMAGE Xg might be the one for you. Opening the box and hefting this little beauty for the first time makes a real impact. The wife has the original ‘X’ version of this. The...

Konica Minolta DiMAGE A200 review
REVIEW
17 January 2005 6:09 GMT
Tweet
On paper the A200's an ideal camera for those trading up to something more ‘serious' and those wishing to grow with their digital photography hobby. But does the camera live up to its spec sheet?
The A200 is a compact high resolution digital... -

REVIEW
10 January 2005 16:56 GMT
Tweet
If desk space is at a premium and you’re looking for a compact, all in one printer copier and scanner, then Lexmark’s P6250 could be the answer…
Previous Lexmark printers and all in ones have been clunky-looking affairs, so it was nice to see... -
Konica Minolta DiMAGE Z3 review
REVIEW
20 December 2004 12:18 GMT
Tweet
If you're after a digital camera that will allow you to catch the action from afar, then the Z3 hopes to do just the job, but can a digital camera with built in optical lens really bring those far away objects up close? We took it down to the London Eye...

Kodak EasyShare DX 7590 review
REVIEW
13 December 2004 11:47 GMT
Tweet
The Kodak DX7590 is the update of the DX6490 launched last year and the most obvious change from the model it replaces is the extra million pixels: the resolution has been bumped to 5MP.
The camera is slightly Jekyll and Hyde, in that it offers... -
Ricoh Caplio R1 review
REVIEW
6 December 2004 11:55 GMT
Tweet
If you think you've seen this camera somewhere before, it’s because the spec is virtually identical to Ricoh's Caplio RZ1. This model features a 4.8x, 28-135mm (35mm film camera equivalent) wide-zoom lens. Its brother, the Caplio RZ1, features a slightly...

Sony Cyber-shot DSC P150 review
REVIEW
29 November 2004 8:12 GMT
Tweet
Based on the 5MP Sony P100, the P150 is a handsomely pocketable digicam and the first ultra-compact digicam with a resolution normally the preserve of professional or high-end ‘prosumer’ models.
At 108x52x26mm and weighing 145g including its... -
