Digital Cameras - Reviews
Canon EOS 50D
The 50D is remarkably similar to the 40D in terms of performance, looks and features — but if you can spare the extra cash, it's a much nicer package.
Adobe After Effects CS4
After Effects, the popular post-production tool for video professionals, offers numerous workflow improvements for the CS4 release.
Fujifilm FinePix J100
The J100 is definitely a point-and-shoot — because you can't do anything else with it.
Adobe Illustrator CS4
While it looks like Illustrator CS4 will be a must-have upgrade, don't feel bad if you've got some lingering annoyance that it should have had these must-have features a couple of versions ago.
Olympus E-520
The E-520 adds an appealing range of features to the existing Olympus line-up of dSLRs, but mostly for the first-time buyer. Apart from image stabilisation built into the body and the ability to use older lenses on the Four Thirds system, there is not much that really sets the E-520 apart from other cameras in its class.
Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T700
Sony's T700 is a winner in the looks department, but beneath the brushed metal exterior lies a clever way to share photos. With 4GB of internal memory and a 3.5-inch LCD touchscreen, the T700 is a good, if slightly expensive camera, especially given that image quality isn't always up to scratch.
Adobe Photoshop CS4 Extended
After spending a few weeks working with a beta version, we've concluded that there's just enough that's better in the CS4 updates to Photoshop that many people will find themselves sighing, biting the bullet, and upgrading.
Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W110
Sony's entry-level Cyber-shot DSC-W110 includes face detection, noise reduction and high ISO sensitivity up to ISO 3200.
Fujifilm FinePix F60fd
It may not be brimming with new features and the controls are all over the shop, but the Fujifilm FinePix F60fd looks great and so do the pictures. Capable automatic settings make this a true point-and-shoot, with clever face detection helping it stand out from the crowd. We just wish it weren't so confusing.
Sony Alpha DSLR-A900
The A900's main claim to fame is its 24-megapixel full-frame (the size of a 35mm frame of film) sensor, the highest resolution in a dSLR to date.
Olympus Mju 1060
In this season of offerings, we've noticed two growing trends among manufacturers: touchscreen-enabled or ultra-high resolution point-and-shoots. But Olympus' latest darling in its Mju family, the Mju 1060 has neither. So does this new shooter have what it takes to pit itself against other more sophisticated compacts?
Olympus FE-320
It is easy to like the FE-320 for its stylish looks and feature-rich specifications. But what we like to applaud Olympus for is in making things work.
Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX3 
The LX3 is a good camera with an excellent feature set that positions it way beyond any conventional point-and-shoot on the retail shelves today.
Canon EOS 1000D
The Canon EOS 1000D is a good entry-level dSLR, but only its photo quality stands out among the competition.
Kodak EasyShare M1020
Despite the large screen and Quick Touch Border feature, the M1020 is priced at AU$349 which is a bit pricey for a digital frame that freezes all too often.
Nikon D90
Looking to lure existing Nikonistas, dSLR virgins and the Canon convertee, Nikon has announced the D90, the first digital SLR to feature video recording.
Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W150
Available in black, red or silver, the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W150 offers 5x optical zoom, face detection and optical image stabilisation amongst its feature set.
Parrot Digital Photo Frame by Andree Putman
With Bluetooth on-board but few other bells and whistles, the Parrot Photo Frame might be a one-trick pony — but this connectivity option is arguably the one genuinely useful feature you'll need in a digital photo frame.
Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H50
Plentiful features with all manner of adjustable options, entertaining gimmicks and rock-solid shooting make us like this camera a lot. If you could stick an SD card slot in there, it'd be one of the best superzooms we've seen. Sadly, it loses marks for the proprietary connections.
Fujifilm FinePix S8100fd
We're actually struggling to think of anything bad about the 10-megapixel zooming behemoth that is the Fujifilm FinePix S8100fd. It's a versatile and reliable camera that gets looks, features, image quality and controls right.
