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

'The level of detail you get out of the camera is impressive too.'

'very easy camera'

'the 550D will be more than able to rise to the occassion.'

'It’s a strong look as the D3100 succeeds in out-classing a number of DSLR cameras classed as "higher spec" in various manufacturers’ ranges. '

'The camera is impressive throughout its automatic ISO range, and it even performs fairly well at its H1 setting, ISO 6400.'

'ideal camera'

'Nikon's latest dSLR offering for 2010, the D3100 improves upon the D3000 released last year.'

'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.'

'Of course, there are plenty of people who can overlook its imperfections in exchange for the heaps of wow factor the P100 packs. '

'So, if you want a camera that gives you lots of gimmicks to play with in a compact package the Nikon is a good choice.'

'The Nikon Coolpix P100 is a major step forward in terms of banishing the bane of the compact camera - image noise - though it does look fairly pricey. '

'The 3in tilt-adjustable LCD on the back of the Nikon Coolpix P100 and the huge extending lens are the only aspects that seem out of place on this otherwise well-proportioned camera - and these are hardly complaints. '

'More unusually still at this level, the K-x’s light sensitivity settings can be boosted to a semi-pro equivalent ISO 12,800 for flash free photography in the near dark and 16:9 widescreen format HD video recording – at 1280 x 720 pixels, 24fps, rather than Full HD 1920 x 1080 – marking this out as an affordable all-in-one device. '

'Small and light, the Pentax K-x seems like a well-built, no-nonsense digital SLR'

'all the exposures seem brighter, regardless of metering setting, then they were with the D300.'

'Well-made.'

'lovely, vivid images'

'The button layout is extremely similar to what was used on the D300, so anyone familiar with that camera should have a relatively easy time learning the control interface on the D300S.'

'the Pentax K-7 feels tight and solid.'

'The live view experience on the K-7 is quite nice.'

'The camera is robust and confidence-inspiring.'

'the K-7 is much more comfortable to hold with average sized male hands, and doesn't seem anymore cramped.'
