'Part of a new generation of cameras, the SLT-A55 is truly innovative. '
'Because the Sony Alpha SLT-A55 doesn't have to move a mirror around, Sony has been able to get a remarkable 10 frame-per-second burst rate out of the camera.'
'The first thing you are likely to notice about the D5000 is the incredibly quick start-up and shot-to-shot time, with the camera being ready to shoot within 0.5 seconds of switching it on.'

'The NEX cameras are primarily about squeezing DSLR quality into compact bodies.'
'The NEX cameras are a brave and interesting attempt to redefine the camera.'

'This is a good move by Sony as it will aide those who get turned off with the myriad features on offer in a DSLR.'
'The SX20's video quality is very decent as well.'
'It's image quality is superb, the controls and menu are easy to use, and its video mode is almost good enough to make you leave your dedicated camcorder at home when you go on holidays.'

'If you're an enthusiast photographer and want to learn more about how to take photos in different situations, there is probably no better camera to get your hands on than the Nikon D3000. '
'The slightly mottled plastic around the body is the standard Nikon feel, and overall build quality is excellent considering the price range. '
