JVC Camera Takes On iPod Nano And Flip
The portable video market has become a hot category now that Apple has joined the party with the iPod Nano. Flip video recently came out with the Mino HD which can capture at 720p. Not to be outdone, the JVC Picsio GC-FM1 can shoot in 1080p and takes 8 Megapixel photos. The image quality is quite good for such a small pinhole camera but the frame rate leaves a lot to be desired.


Panasonic Camera Really Zooms In
Users can now capture objects from a distance easily with the new super-zoom camera from Panasonic. The Lumix DMC-FZ35 utilises a 12-megapixel sensor, has an enhanced Power Optical Image Stabiliser (O.I.S.) that reduces blur, and is great for both amateur and advanced photographers with its manual operation settings.


Wearable Digital Camera Delivers Impressive Action Sports
A hot new wearable high quality camera system is set to be launched in Australia that allows skiers, bike riders and surfers to record action sports from a digital camera mounted on a pair of goggles or sunglasses.


Capture Memories With Vibrant Colours
Sitting at low end of the compact camera market the Samsung PL50 takes decent pictures and has a good number of image modes. It doesn’t have all the bells and whistles of other cameras on the market but it is able to capture images at 10.2 Megapixels and has an attractive price tag.


Samsung Camera Takes Good Pictures But Light on Features
With the compact camera market jam packed with various almost-clone models, the real test comes in features and image quality. The Samsung ST50 is a 12.2 Megapixel compact which passes in both categories but doesn’t quite excel at either.


Impressive Panasonic Camera For DSLR Beginners
The Panasonic Lumix G1 is a great camera for first time DSLR users - it functions and feels like a DSLR but has digital camera functions that will make shooting fun and easy. And with its small and light form factor, this camera can be taken in trips without being a burden to users.


Canon Camera Gets Close To The Action
Besides providing quite a number of features for amateurs and enthusiasts alike, the Canon PowerShot SX110 IS proves to be a camera that can go the distance with its noteworthy picture quality and 10x zoom function.


Cheap Kogan Full HD Camcorder For Starters
Users who want an affordable camcorder that shoots in Full HD should consider Kogan’s video camcorder. Sure it has limited functions, but what do you expect for something that is worth less than $500?


A Sony Camera That Feels Like A Camcorder
The latest Cyber-shot from Sony is a small and lightweight camera that offers HD video capture (720p). But despite its notable specifications, the unit failed to produce good image quality, which for some, is much more important than recording videos in HD.


Toy-Like Compact Camera From Canon
It seems that Canon has gone retro with the launch of its new E-series range of digital compact cameras. This compact shooter comes in three colours (blue, pink, and white), has similar features to the A1000 IS, and even sports the same price tag. But how it all stacks up is a different thing altogether.


Simple Point And Shoot Canon Camera For Starters
The PowerShot A1000 IS from Canon may not be the best looking camera around, but it surely knocks out the competition with its features.


First Review: HD Shooting With Samsung Camcorder
The new HD camcorder from Samsung takes the stress out of recording with its great form factor, simple operation, and easy video transfer and viewing. Just remember to stock up on high capacity memory cards when going on long vacations to make the most out of this device.


Smart Fujifilm Snapper Impresses
The new FinePix camera from Fujifilm takes the burden out of manually selecting shooting modes by introducing a new Scene Recognition technology that automatically changes the setting to capture the best possible photo. It also comes equipped with the latest technology, ensuring users of a jam-packed camera for everyday use.


Easy To Use Canon Digital Camera
If you are looking for an easy to use camera to take photos without a hitch with an attractive price point to boot, then the Ixus 80 IS from Canon may just be the digital camera you are looking for.


A Nikon DSLR For Budding Photographers
Not only does Nikon’s smallest DSLR camera make it easy for users to take photos, it also comes with a suite of features for aspiring photographers who want to deepen their interest in creative shooting. So is this camera worth a thousand words?


Pentax Digicam Captures The Bollywood Spirit
The ultra-compact and affordable Pentax Optio S10 seems built for travelling so we decide to test it out on the road...to India!


Digital SLR Shootout: Sony Alpha Vs Panasonic Lumix
Digital SLR’s are hot and vendors like Sony and Panasonic are rolling out a new generation of SLR cameras with built-in LCD viewing. So which DSLR is better: Sony's Alpha 350 or Panasonic's Lumix L10? We take a look at both models side-by-side.


Handy New Way To Display Digital Photos
Digital photo frames allow you to play a slideshow of digital photos via an LCD screen. They come in different shapes and sizes but often with a limited set of features. We take a look at Nu’s 8-inch digital photo frame and see (literally) what it has in store.


First Review: Sony LCD Viewer DSLR Camera
The new Sony Alpha digital SLR camera features a lighter and slimmer body for easy handling, has an improved user interface, 14.2-megapixel resolution and other features that make it worth a second look.


Panasonic HD Camcorder Hungers For Memory
If you have an HD TV, you might be considering upgrading to an HD camcorder as well. And Panasonic's SD5 may just be the trick - so long as you have enough memory cards to support your HD habit.

Hasselblad’s 39 Megapixel Monster
Remember when a 3-megapixel digital camera was considered adequate? Hasselblad’s latest digicam puts things in, ahem, perspective with the world’s first high-end, digital auto-focus camera based on a 39 million pixel sensor. That’s right, 39 megapixels.


More Camera Phones Than Cameras
Digital still cameras and the cameras found in camera phones are based on different technologies. Now one outsells the other.


Ricoh's Classic Remastered
Ricoh is set to release an update to its much loved GR analogue series, the GR Digital, which features an 8MP sensor and a brand new image processor.
