Looking to lure existing Nikonistas, dSLR virgins and the Canon convertee, Nikon has announced the D90, the first digital SLR to feature video recording.
Come October 1 the 50D will sit atop Canon's APS-C digital SLR tree. It gains a higher resolution 3-inch LCD, face detection and a 15.1-megapixel sensor over the 40D, which will continue to soldier on.
Come October there will be four new Canon PowerShot cameras to choose from. The new range spans everything from pastel blues and pinks to the more traditional silvers, greys and blacks.
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.
Let someone else buy the ties and tool kits for Dad. If you really want to win him over, get him one of these tech presents.
There are enough digital cameras and camcorders out there to make the clued up, keen-eyed technophile wince. So, we've narrowed down the field a bit to make your Father's Day gift shopping a little bit easier.
Remember when it was common to drop AU$1,000 on a nice digital point-and-shoot? These days, for around the same outlay, you can pick up a digital SLR camera.
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.
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.
The J50 is strictly for beginners who want a simple shooter to start exploring the world of photography. While the extensive modes make up for the lack of fancy features, little has been done to salvage the less-than-desired image quality.
The Olympus E-420 is a good beginner's dSLR with an extremely compact footprint that should go well with travellers. Just don't expect any fancy features for this budget model.
Stolid rather than sexy, competent rather than classy, the boxy Nikon Coolpix P60 is a belt-and-braces, real ale-supping point-and-shoot. The cool kids won't be impressed, but we're always glad to see a compact that gives such reliable images

Panasonic is spending some of the profits from all the Viera TVs and Lumix cameras we're buying in a socially responsible manner by taking up a scientific sponsorship with the Australian Museum.
The Kodak EasyShare Z8612 IS has trimmed off every gram of fat, but the 12x zoom lens overbalances the camera. It oozes understated élan and even has some clever features, but the performance isn't quite there.
Daniel Reitsma specialises in shooting cities around the world, and captures their essence by taking all images in the series of his selected locale within a 24-hour time period.
Boasting many of the internal bits from the professional-spec (and professionally priced) D3, the D700 is an (almost) affordable full-frame dSLR. It faces up to the Canon 5D with a 12.1-megapixel CMOS sensor, 51 auto-focussing points, 5fps or 8fps shooting depending on battery and mini-HDMI out.
For a few years now, the "affordable" full-frame dSLR market has belonged to Canon. However with today's launch of Nikon's D700, the Canon versus Nikon dSLR war has a new front.
It's never too close for comfort when it comes to snapping close-up shots.
