'The Fujifilm FinePix X100 is lovely.'

'breathtakingly beautiful retro design'

'Superior craftsmanship.'

'excellent camera'

'The EOS 60D also gains a couple of brand-new features of its own.'

'The Canon EOS 60D sits between the EOS 50D and the EOS 7D in Canon's mid-range digital SLR offerings, and it's a mighty beast to shoot with.'

'The Canon EOS 60D is one of the shining stars next to the Pentax K-7 and Olympus E-3, but the fiercest competition comes from the Nikon D7000.'

' The 12.4 effective megapixel K-r is Pentax’s follow-up digital SLR to the entry level K-x, a sound, good value starter option. '

'The Pentax K-r is one of the few worthy intruders, flaunting several improvements over its next in command, the Pentax K-x.'

'exceptionally fast performance'

'If Pentax can step up its efforts to make itself visible in the industry, the K-r is a competitive model in the entry-level dSLR category.'

'The camera also sports a significantly redesigned weather-sealed body, and the new viewfinder has an LCD overlay for providing additional information, like an on-demand grid and electronic levels. and this is the first EOS dSLR to incorporate wireless flash. '

'Excellent still-image and HD-video quality.'

'Very impressive. '

'On paper the 7D looks like a very capable camera and Canon rarely disappoints. '

'The attractive Olympus Pen E-P2 serves up unique in-camera controls, interchangeable lenses, and a compact design, but it costs significantly more than an entry-level DSLR. '

'the E-P2 is a great performer.'

'However, on its own merits the E-P2 is a great addition to the Micro Four Thirds camera collection. '

'It's perfectly feasible.'

'The D200 represents an unmatched combination of quality, performance and value that's hard to resist'

'Plentiful controls and accessories'

'The Nikon D200 is a top D-SLR, one that will without doubt cause relentless unease in the minds of the competition.'

'one of the more compelling SLRs launched this season.'

'There's even a built-in RSS reader for subscribing to Olympus-related newsfeeds,'

'the E-3 is a totally new camera that has obviously been designed to go head-to-head with the likes of Nikon's D300 and Canon's 40D at the very top of the market,'

'The E-3 offers speedy burst shooting and image throughput.'
