Review Canon EOS 1100D Digital SLR Camera (inc. 18-55 f/3.5-5.6 DC III Lens Kit)

 

Amazing digital SLR
Many years ago I dabbled with 35mm SLRs but eventually decided it took years of learning and expeimentation to get good results and frankly got very frustrated. Since then I pretty much stayed in the "point and shoot" world. A few years ago I bought a "bridge" digital camera and the fact that the images were instantly accessible changed things completely. I've since grown...

Review Fujifilm X10 Digital Camera - Black (12MP EXR CMOS, 4x Optical Zoom) 2.8 inch LCD Screen

More than just a backup for your DSLR
In the past I have had various Lumix models, latterly the LX3 which have been pressed into service as a pocketable camera in situations where my D3 and Nikkors are inappropriate. The LX3 did the job, but I always felt I was getting second best, generally ending up wishing that I had taken the Nikon gear when I came up against a `real' situation. After getting the X10 as a...

Review Fujifilm FinePix X100 Digital Camera - (12.3MP, APS-C CMOS EXR) 2.8 inch LCD

So Close to Perfect SUMMARY: An excellent camera in its own right or in a supporting role to a DSLR. If you can live with a 35mm fixed focal length, you won't get better quality images under a variety of lighting conditions from a package this small at any price. A handful of relatively minor irritations which are likely to be fixed with firmware updates do little to detract from what is a... Read the full review ›

Fabulous images, deeply flawed camera. Wish I could give it 5 stars When it does work, this camera produces beautifully rendered images, especially portraits - despite the focal length not being ideal for that use. Images are crisp, sharp with great contrast and depth of colours. The new firmware (v1.2) is a huge improvement and AF is now finally useable in the real-world! Along with other additional features and... Read the full review › Fujifilm FinePix X100 Digital Camera - (12.3MP, APS-C CMOS EXR) 2.8 inch LCD

Review Panasonic Lumix LX5 10.1MP Digital Camera - Black (3.0 inch TFT LCD Display, 1/1.63 inch CCD, f/2.0 LEICA Summicron Lens with 3.8x optical zoom)

At last a photographers compact!
I was looking for a compact camera for 'light' use when I didn't want to carry my full DSLR kit around. The LX5 seemed like a good choice - small enough to fit into my trouser pocket (just), competent enough to take good images (with manual controls as well as auto) and the choice of JPEG or RAW formats. Having used this camera for several weeks now I am impressed - very...

Review Nikon Coolpix P510 Digital Camera - Black (16MP, 42x Optical Zoom) 3 inch LCD

Well worth the wait!
I'm so pleased I hung on for the release of this camera having nearly bought a different one a couple of months ago. It is my first Nikon, having had Fujifilm cameras before which I did really like but the lure of having an obscene 42 x optical zoom was just too tempting! Even at full zoom you get nice clear shots and the whole camera just seems to be much more user...
