Approaching the top end of the compact camera range the Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ30 is considered to be a feature laden travel camera and from reading the specifications sheet it certainly fills that description boasting a touch screen, GPS geotagging, 3D shooting capability and a hefty 20X zoom lens which translates to a 480mm equivalent zoom length in old-school 35mm terms. So does the cameras image quality and overall functionality match the impressive feature list? Read on to find out. The Pansonic Lumix DMC-TZ30 has a lovely appearance that has obviously been...

Nikon Coolpix P510 Digital Camera Review
Review by: Katrina Ferguson
Generally speaking there are a handful of keys specs of compact digital cameras that tend to be the selling point and it’s safe to say megapixels and zoom range are two of them. Nikon’s Coolpix P510 comes armed and dangerous in both departments boasting some 16-megapixels and a whopping 42x optical zoom lens (equivalent to 24-1000mm) in addition to its ability to shoot full HD video and for the most part, produce quality images be they in bright or low light conditions or when utilising the impressive built-in flash. Whilst it’s certainly not the most compact of point-and-shoot READ MORE
Fujifilm X-Pro1 Digital Camera Review
Review by: Keith Parsons
The X100, released early in 2011, kicked off Fuji's forays into higher end digital cameras and due to its incredible success and sales fuji extended the X range to include three new models. The Fuji X Pro 1 sits right at the pinnacle of the very exciting and trend defying Fuji premium X range and I would be hard pressed to think of a camera that has been subjected to as much internet hype. Coupling a 16.3 megapixel APS-C sized sensor with interchangeable quality lenses is always going to provide a worthy camera though a major selling point of the camera is its traditional... READ MORE

Canon EOS 650D Digital Camera Review (includes extra music video test)
Review by: Keith Parsons
The Canon 650D is a recent release from Canon that replaces the much talked about 600D in the ever expanding Canon DSLR range. From looking at the spec sheet you may notice that there are a number of similarities between the 650D and 600D although it is more progression and refinement rather than revolution in this case. The 650D is the first Canon entry level DSLR to feature a DIGIC 5 processor that has far reaching benefits in terms of processing power. Another first is the inclusion of AF tracking in the cameras video mode (only available on certain lenses). However... READ MORE
Nikon Coolpix S9300 Digital Camera Review
Review by: Katrina Ferguson
Nikon’s Coolpix S9300 is a decent compact camera not only in appearance and performance but also in terms of price point. For less than $350 users will get themselves a solidly built unit equipped with some 16-megapixels, High Definition movie mode and a generous 18x optical zoom lens capable of extending out to some 450mm and as wide 25mm. If you have no interest in the bells and whistles often added to compact cameras to make sales rather than be of much practical use, then the understated and user-friendly S9300 may well be the camera you’re looking for...

Panasonic Lumix DMC-GX1 Digital Camera Review
Review by: Keith Parsons
The Lumix DMC-GX1 is the latest micro four thirds offering in the G series from Panasonic. Boasting a number of spectacular features the real question on everybody’s lips is whether the camera is enough of a step up from its predecessors the Lumix DMC-GF1, GF2 and GF3 models to warrant its street price of $850. With features such as a 16.1 megapixel MOS sensor that boasts some brand new processing power, that reportedly suppresses noise by around 66%, as well as the addition of a high-resolution 3” touch screen it certainly is a well specced...

Canon EOS 5D Mk III Digital Camera Review
Review by: Michael Gazzola
It has been nearly 7 years since Canon introduced a new camera to the market simply named EOS 5D. On 22 August 2005, it was this camera that would change the full frame sensor game. Before the 5D there was an extremely large price gap between full the frame sensor and cropped sensor cameras, such as those found originally in the highly popular 20D and current 7D. Canon put the 5D Mk I right in the middle of the 20D and EOS 1D winning instant praise for its $3,500 price tag that included the use of EF lenses and a 13MP capture that delivered excellent...

Sony SLT-A37 Digital Camera Review
Review by: Ashley Akers
For some it may be all too common for the process of cleaning a room to result in a far messier room than was there to begin with. These are the people that discover. These are the people that re-discover and keep on re-discovering. It’s not a simple act of: I know what this is, I know where it goes, I’ll put it there. It complicates it a whole lot more because you want to know how to open it, try it out, read it again, think why did I put it there, where are the other pieces, how did I make this or where can I get another. When you’re in the mood for discovery, when your brain tells you... READ MORE
