Title: Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ18 review
Pros: 18x optical zoom with OIS and little fringing., Decent quality 2.5in screen., Intelligent Auto a useful auto mode., Good manual control and RAW facility.,
Cons: Noise visible throughout ISO range., 50% pricier than earlier FZ8., No flip-out screen., May be too small and light for some., ,
Verdict: The Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ18 may cost 50% more than its predecessor but it's still hard not to be impressed. While it no longer offers the same sheer value, it does give you the flexibility of a longer and wider 18x optical zoom with decent stabilisation
Summary: Panasonic's Lumix DMC-FZ18 builds on the already excellent FZ8 to deliver one of the best super-zooms on the market. We can give or take the extra megapixel and higher ISO settings, but swapping the already powerful 12x zoom for an 18x lens which extends

Cons: A few design quirks; proprietary hot shoe
Verdict: A top-of-the-line amateur digital SLR camera, the Sony Alpha DSLR-A700 will delight Konica Minolta diehards and makes a great choice if you don't already have a stake in other lens systems
Summary: The Sony Alpha DSLR-A700 has a very un-Sony-like design, but it holds its own against its competitors with loads of features, including a moisture and dust-resistant body and Eye-Start AF, which detects your eye and begins autofocusing. With great image q

Title: Sony Alpha DSLR-A200 review
Pros: Built-in anti-shake - works with any lens., InfoLithium battery gives accurate feedback., 18-70mm kit lens longer than most rivals., Quicker AF than predecessor.,
Cons: Relatively noisy at 800 ISO and above., No Live View (but it's on the A300 version)., Anti-dust system not effective in our tests.
Verdict: Sony's Alpha A200 may only sport minor improvements over its predecessor, but holds an important position in the new Alpha range. As discussed above, it represents the entry-level base model upon which subsequent models build. So while it may not have Liv
Summary: So the A200 is Sony's new entry-level DSLR, and the base upon which other models build on. The Alpha A300 takes the same sensor and body, but adds Live View and mounts the screen on a vertically tiltable platform. Then the Alpha A350 takes the A300 and si

Pros: 3-inch screen, 12 megapixels, SD card, 9-point AF system, Live View
Cons: No CompactFlash, still on the large side compared to Olympus E-Series
Verdict: As a step up from the 400D there is plenty to justify, and if you're looking to upgrade from the 300D or 350D go for it
Summary: Canon has updated its entry-level digital camera for the first time in over 15 months, but has the wait been worth it? We had a chance to get an early hands-on with the new 450D (or the Digital Rebel XSi for our American readers) at the company's Spring C
