Canon EOS 7D

Review Canon basically ceded the midrange, pro-performance dSLR market to Nikon in 2005 with the arrival of the D200. Since then, Canon's 30D, 40D, and 50D have taken the slower but less-expensive road, with a relatively stagnant autofocus (AF) system that Nikon leapfrogged. But with entirely new AF and...

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ28

Review The 10-megapixel Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ28's 18x zoom lens (27-486mm equivalent) may seem modest compared with some of the other megazooms on the market, such as the 26x zoom Olympus SP-590UZ. But the FZ28 makes up for these possible perceived shortcomings with a solid feature set which includes...

Canon PowerShot G10

Review One of the highlights of Canon's offerings at Photokina in Germany was the update to its pro-level compact shooter, the PowerShot G9. When its successor, the PowerShot G10, was announced, it looked set to take on challenger Panasonic's Lumix DMC-LX3. However, through our few days of testing, we...

Sony Alpha DSLR-A850

Review Full-frame dSLRs have always been sought after by advanced shutterbugs and professional photographers for their better image quality, but such shooters are usually tagged with a premium price. Last year, Sony dropped the bomb with the full-frame Alpha DSLR-A900, the world's highest-resolution dSLR...

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ35

Review The Panasonic FZ series is the company's superzoom lineup and, from the looks of its design and specifications, this shooter is targeted at enthusiasts and slightly more advanced users. The upgrades are pretty incremental compared to its predecessor, the FZ28, but we have to admit the FZ35 is a...

Canon EOS 5D Mark II

Review Without question, the Canon EOS 5D Mark II has to be one of the most anticipated cameras for this year. This is no surprise, as it succeeds the EOS 5D, which was announced 3 years ago and due for an upgrade. While most shutterbugs had correctly expected a higher resolution sensor, most...

Kodak EasyShare M1093 IS

Review It's always nice when a camera just works. Such is the case with the fairly ordinary Kodak EasyShare M1093 IS. It's a simple compact shooter with loads of scene modes, HD movie capture function and a modicum of shooting control. But most importantly, Kodak's Smart Capture mode does all the snapshot...

Sony Alpha DSLR-A900

Review Sony makes a point of not calling this a "professional" camera, instead referring to it as the "flagship" model of its dSLR line. However, it's priced like a pro model, and its full-frame competitors--the Nikon D700 and the Canon EOS 5D Mark II--are widely, though not exclusively, used by...

Kodak EasyShare M1033

Review The features may be a letdown, but the image quality more than makes up for this.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX50

Review If Panasonic could just nail the noise, this Lumix might stand a chance against competitors. But as it is, you're better off letting the FX50 sit this one out.

Samsung Innov8 (i8510)

Review The Innov8 marks the culmination of what Samsung wanted to achieve with the Symbian S60 platform, once the turf and playground of Finland-based Nokia. Even though the Innov8 isn't the first S60 handset from the Korean phone-maker (there were a few others just before it), in terms of product...

Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX3

Review Once in a blue moon comes a camera that sets our hearts on fire. The Lumix DMC-LX3 is such a shooter. Beneath the compact physique are an array of features that professionals will feel comfortable using, and the high-res widescreen format capture is something noteworthy. The full-range of exposure...

Ricoh R10

Review We're not sure why Ricoh has gone straight from the R8 to the R10, but we're still glad to see the latest incarnation of this classy compact line. Specifications -wise, the latest shooter hasn't changed much from its predecessor, so what makes the R10 tick? Editors' note:This review is based on...
