Ricoh GXR digital camera - First Look
Is this a Micro Four Thirds competitor? 10 November 2009 6:00 GMT

The Good
Build quality, EVF is excellent, slide quality is reassuring

The Bad
Price, new system means limited options

Verdict
From what we've seen from our initial hands-on the idea of changing lens units no longer seems so laughable

Price
£419 (body) + £330 (Ricoh lens)
Pentax K-x DSLR camera
A sufficiently solid alternative to Canon or Nikon? 25 November 2009 12:09 GMT

The Good
Comprehensive feature set that ticks most of the boxes for today’s DSLR user, sharp results with kit lens and at optimal settings

The Bad
No HDMI output for hooking the camera up to a high-def TV or monitor despite it offering HD movies, no rechargeable battery provided

Verdict
For those looking for (nearly) all the latest must haves in one package, the Pentax K-x feature set offers a good value return for your money, whilst also being friendly to use via the prominence of its auto settings. Results straight out of the camera require minimal post processing too

Price
£599 with 18-55mm kit lens
Sigma DP2 digital camera
Does this fixed lens compact live up to its DSLR-like claims? 1 September 2009 10:39 GMT

The Good
Excellent lens, wealth of hands-on control, works best when attempting images with a shallow depth of field

The Bad
Expensive, variable white balance if left in auto mode, washed out de-saturated colours, plasticky feel to build, occasional operational freezes

Verdict
The Sigma DP2 won’t appeal to everybody, and that’s largely by design. It works best when viewed as a compact back-up to an existing DSLR, or an experimental supplement to a more fully-featured, user-friendly digital compact

Price
£599
Panasonic Lumix DMC-GH1 camera
HD video, but at what cost? 4 August 2009 12:00 GMT

The Good
Adjustable high (ish) resolution rear LCD, tactile rubber body "shroud", impressively clear Live View finder, sharp, realistically coloured evenly exposed results

The Bad
Hefty price tag, existing APS-C sized sensor DSLR users will have to invest in a whole new system from scratch

Verdict
While it’s difficult to know who the GH1 will presently appeal to given its semi-pro price tag, the hybrid camera performs well and is more than pleasant to use

Price
£1299 (14-140mm Mega OIS zoom)
Nikon D3000 DSLR camera
Does Nikon's new entry-level DLSR steal the limelight? 25 August 2009 12:00 GMT

The Good
Small, lightweight yet sturdy construction, reliable results and responsive in operation, intuitive to use with or without Intelligent Guide deployed

The Bad
No Live View option, no movies of any description, no built-in anti-shake

Verdict
Though some may find Nikon’s implementation of an on-board help guide with large print text and bright graphics on the D3000 patronising, there’s no denying it’s a clever way to widen its traditionally specialist user base and attract new converts – even if we did miss use of Live View when attempting shots from otherwise tricky angles on occasion

Price
£429.99 (body only)/£499.99 (18-55mm VR lens)
Sony Alpha A380 DSLR camera
Can Sony challenge in the DSLR stakes? 28 July 2009 9:00 GMT

The Good
Lightweight, user friendly, intuitive, reliable performance, warm, colour rich images, adjustable LCD, less expensive than immediate rivals

The Bad
No HD video, hinges for adjusting LCD are stiff, obvious plastic elements of build, kit lens could be sharper, noisier than rivals at higher ISOs

Verdict
A reliable performer delivering richly detailed and colourful images, though you might want to trade up from the kit lens fairly quickly

Price
£720 (18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 zoom lens)
Pentax X70 digital camera
Does this compact 24x zoom bridge camera get closer to perfection? 16 September 2009 9:00 GMT

The Good
Big zoom capability from relatively compact dimensions, easy to use intuitive operation for the most part, good results achievable shooting handheld if plenty of light available

The Bad
Plasticy build, resolution drops when choosing faster capture setting, no RAW capture option, disappointing results at ISO 800 and above, zoom disabled when shooting video

Verdict
Like many big zoom cameras that try and do it all, there’s as much here to delight as disappoint. The wider creative possibilities offered by that broader focal range shouldn’t be underestimated, and, once used, going back to that 3x zoom compact will seem tough

Price
£369.99
Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF1 camera
Does the Micro Four Thirds GF1 beat Olympus’s Digital Pen? 3 November 2009 12:00 GMT

The Good
DSLR-like features and picture quality, but with the convenience and portability of a compact, albeit one with a solid feel aluminium construction

The Bad
Pricey either with or without lens combination. Requires investment in a new camera system from scratch. EVF costs extra

Verdict
Capable and compact Micro Four Thirds system offering from Panasonic proves the company’s most successful realisation of "DSLR quality without the bulk" to date

Price
£570 (body only) or £800 with 20mm pancake lens
Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF1 digital camera - First Look
Lumix goes retro 8 September 2009 16:00 GMT

The Good
720p video, small size, design, 3-inch screen, interchangeable lenses

The Bad
No optical viewfinder

Verdict
A small package with 720p video and a built-in flash means this should give entry-level DSLRs a run for their money

Price
£816
Canon EOS 1000D DSLR camera - First Look
Can Canon recapture the entry-level market? 10 June 2008 18:03 GMT

The Good
10 megapixels, SD Card, LiveView

The Bad
Not as feature packed as the 450D, price

Verdict
From our quick play, the result looks to be positive, however there is a catch. Mainly that you’ll have to pay for the Canon brand

Price
£579
Fujifilm FinePix F70EXR digital camera
Does a three-way sensor mean three times the fun? 20 October 2009 12:00 GMT

The Good
Sturdy construction, intuitive operation, broader focal range than usually found within a pocket snapshot allows for a wider variety of creative choices

The Bad
No HD video nor HDMI port, just standard definition video

Verdict
Built to last pocket compact with a broader range of creative opportunities than usually found at this price point

Price
£260
Olympus Pen E-P1 digital camera
The sexiest camera of 2009? 13 July 2009 9:44 GMT

The Good
Image quality, handling, super control panel, comprehensive, creative feature set, good dust reduction system, retro styling, build, lenses

The Bad
No (built-in) viewfinder, no built-in flash, price

Verdict
We were won over by the image quality and that at the end of the day is probably the single most important factor and so makes this a camera one we cannot help but recommend

Price
£699 (14-42mm zoom kit)
Eye-Fi Share Video wireless SD card
Wi-Fi your digital camera 12 November 2009 9:00 GMT

The Good
Simple, works with PC and Mac out of the box, instant sharing options, easy setup

The Bad
Price, some photos never arrived

Verdict
We love the technology offered by Eye-Fi and despite a few quirks in the system, we found it cut out lots of connections we'd normally have to make. It may be expensive, but it's impressive none the less

Price
£44
Canon EOS 7D DSLR camera
We get down with the advanced mid-range model 28 October 2009 14:52 GMT

The Good
Build, image quality, viewfinder, performance and speed, AF, flash control, HD video, ergonomics, LCD

The Bad
Looks pricey, purple fringing on some high contrast shots with 18-135mm kit lens

Verdict
An accomplished and well-equipped semi-professional camera with professional build and specification that’s capable of stunning results and at high resolution too. It looks expensive, but as a step down from canon EOS 1D Mk III, it makes a lot of sense indeed and without that much of a compromise on performance. This is simply a superb new EOS and one that should be a hot contender for your cash

Price
£1699 (body only)
Nikon D300s DSLR camera
Is the "s" worth the extra $? 3 September 2009 12:00 GMT

The Good
Excellent image quality and ergonomics, menu system and info panel, good control and custom modes, HD movie mode

The Bad
Price: the extra cost for the new goodies - even the HD movies - might not seem worth paying for the upgrade, detail loss in shadow areas

Verdict
Another stunning new Nikon DX format DSLR that combines the performance and handling panache of its predecessor with HD video and other neat toys that may just make it worth your reaching for your cheque book

Price
£1499.99 (body only)
Pentax K-7 DSLR camera
Is this the snapper it promises to be? 11 August 2009 16:00 GMT

The Good
Good image quality with plenty of detail, excellent range of features, body integral Anti-Shake, anti-dust system, Build and environment protection, RAW (PEF or DNG) +JPEG mode, excellent screen

The Bad
Slightly soft (default) JPEG images, some fiddly controls/handling issues, underpowered built-in flash, some noisy images at higher ISOs

Verdict
Pentax’s new flagship DSLR offers up a host of tasty treats for the high-end or advanced amateur user it’s designed to entice. An excellent specification and massive range of compatible Pentax K-mount lenses plus new weatherproofed kit optics all makes the K-7 look like a super camera

Price
£1229
Panasonic Lumix DMC-G1 - First Look
Do nice things really come in small packages? 16 October 2008 10:00 GMT

The Good
Size, weight, easy to use, flip out LCD

The Bad
Purists will say it's not a real DSLR

Verdict
We might have played with a pre-production sample, but the results we got means this is one to look out for

Price
£600
Nikon D5000 DSLR camera
Cracker HD snapper? 17 June 2009 12:00 GMT

The Good
Image quality, movie quality, tilt turn and swivel LCD (for some shots), handling, ease of use, price

The Bad
Small viewfinder, LCD resolution/colour rendition, size (for market), bottom hinged LCD easily impeded on a tripod

Verdict
Nikon’s D5000 sits above the D60 but below the D90 in the Nikon DSLR range, with a feature set culled from the latter, but priced towards the former. It has a 12.3MP CMOS sensor and a new tilt, turn, swivel 2.7-inch LCD and HD movie capability and it is, well, a cracker

Price
£719 (body only) £799 with 18-55mm VR kit lens
Canon PowerShot G11 digital camera
Do less pixels than the G10 make for a better camera? 26 October 2009 9:00 GMT

The Good
Solid feel construction, vari-angle LCD, better results at higher ISOs than we’ve witnessed from competing brands (if staying at or below ISO 3200)

The Bad
Standard definition video, still priced the same as an entry level DSLR (albeit a cheaper option than buying DSLR plus lens with equivalent focal range)

Verdict
Solid feel contender for enthusiastic amateurs wanting a more portable back up for their existing DSLR, without sacrificing too much in the way of manual control. Shame no HD video though, and the price may cause eyes to water

Price
£569
Panasonic Lumix DMC-G1 DSLR camera
Does the first Micro Four Thirds camera impress? 12 June 2009 12:00 GMT

The Good
Compact body, ease of control, great performance, articulating screen

The Bad
New camera system means less accessories, those with big hands might find it too small

Verdict
We love the compact body and the level of control that you get. We also love the full articulation of the screen: it's a real bonus and helps make the G1 a really fun camera to use

Price
£567.99
Pentax K-7 DSLR camera - First Look
Can Pentax steal the mid-range show? 1 June 2009 12:30 GMT

The Good
Weatherproof casing, 720p video mode, plenty of features, plenty of buttons, mic-in socket, HDMI support

The Bad
No 1080p movie mode, ISO limited to 6400

Verdict
Compared to the D300 and the 50D we would have to say you get a more feature-packed camera, something that took us a little by surprise

Price
£1199.99
Canon EOS 500D DLSR camera - First Look
Can video and 15.1 megapixels impress? 26 March 2009 9:58 GMT

The Good
Video mode, 15.1 megapixels, HDMI socket, 3-inch screen, DIGIC 4 processor, Live View

The Bad
UK price is expensive when compared to the US, no external Mic socket

Verdict
The EOS 500D is clearly aimed at the amateur photographer looking for a very good offering without venturing into Canon's higher range like the 40D or above

Price
£850
Olympus Pen E-P1 - First Look
Is retro the way to go? 18 June 2009 16:00 GMT

The Good
Image quality, simple to use, distinct design, 720p movie capture, fun to use

The Bad
No viewfinder, no flash, styling will deter some

Verdict
The Olympus E-P1 is a true hybrid, falling into the space between compact and DSLR. It is distinctly different in its offering and may, for some, be appealing as a result

Price
£699 (14-42mm zoom kit)
Ricoh GR Digital Mk III digital camera
Is this the enthusiast's compact? 21 August 2009 16:37 GMT

The Good
Superb magnesium-alloy build, compact and lightweight, excellent handling, great image quality, excellent lens, comprehensive level of specification

The Bad
Large screen hampered in brighter conditions - viewing becomes difficult, no built-in optical viewfinder, pop-up flash position means errant fingers can inadvertently hinder it, Mode dial’s lock fiddly to use

Verdict
The Ricoh GR Digital Mk III follows on from the popular GR Mk I and Mk II where many professional and enthusiast snappers had found a quality compact “home”. The new Mk III has a new, faster, lens, much improved resolution LCD and new image engine and has great image quality pouring from every pixel

Price
£529.99
Nokia N86 mobile phone
Will this replace your digital camera? 7 July 2009 20:02 GMT

The Good
Camera, dedicated camera buttons, screen, simple and easy to use

The Bad
Lens cover annoying, S60 looking dated

Verdict
A great camera phone, we just aren't so sure about the S60 these days

Price
£Dependent on contract
