Advantages: Low cost entry to Digital SLR photography. Compatible with all Canon Ef and Ef-s lenses
Disadvantages: Manual exposure fiddly, Kit lens good for cost, but not high-quality

Review EOS 400d The canon 400D is a good camera - for the price it's a great camera. It's relatively compact; lightweight; comes with an adequate lens; has programmed settings for novices - like portrait and landscape modes; but also offers manual control of apertures, shutter speeds, white balance, ISO… so that the more experienced photographers can have fun and be a little more creative. One item to note if you are upgrading from a digital compact ...
...on newer, or more sophisticated Canon bodies, as your skill increases. If you have around £400 to spend on a digital SLR this is certainly one to consider. With this camera and a quality lens you should be able to produce images up to A3 size. For the price and for a first SLR I highly recommend it. ... Read review

Advantages: Quality, Functions, Easy to use, Price
Disadvantages: have to purchase olympus memory card to use panoramic

Olympus E-510 10mp digital Slr camera 10MP Price: £350-£550 (Highstreet winner on price - Jessops) This is a great camera for both amateur & professional photographers, for those who like quality & variety at a great price then you can't go wrong with this piece of kit which is not only functional but is very easy to use.

...and unless it is an Olympus XD you will not be able to use the panoramic function which I think is a bit of a shame, however this is really the only quibble that I have with this camera kit. The list is endless for the modes available 18 scenic plus all of the various exposure & Creative choices you have, so I have kept this review simple. Easy to use, price is fantastic for product quality & functionality, suitable for most situations & if not ... Read review

Advantages: Stunning photos, looks gorgeous, easy to use
Disadvantages: none :)

I got this camera a few months ago, and i absolutely love it! Not only does it look amazing, but the quality of the pictures are stunning too. The screen on the back is a really good size so you can see clearly what your pics are like. The menu for choosing settings is easy to navigate, but there are so many different settings it takes a while to figure out which one you need! This has to be my favourite camera I've ever had, it's small so it ... Read review

Advantages: Uber-Cool picture quality and focus skills
Disadvantages: Large file sizes

Amazing camera for price! Was bought for less than a hundred pounds but hugely outweighs the capabilities of my £400 camera! The way that it focuses so well each and every time is what I love about it. It produces large, crystal clear images and great videos with nice sound. Only downside is it uses Lithium rechargeable batteries but thats not really bad. Just means you have to remove battery to charge. The battery is the same used for a popular ...
...buy. With great pictures comes large file sizes so I would suggest getting atleast a 2gb SD card for it (which are very cheap to buy anyway- in some cases less than a tenna!) which will provide room for about 720 High-Quality pics. Overall, this is a great camera. If you are looking for anything less than a Profesional DSLR camera, this cannot in my opinion be beaten. I would not buy this as a "chuck about" camera as it has a large, vulnerable LCD ... Read review

Advantages: Fast start up, quick time from photo to photo, amazing quality
Disadvantages: Screen freezes when focusing in

...very pleased when I found casio were thoughtful enough to supply a charger and very good battery with the z1080. Usually I would have to load my pictures into Paint Shop Pro X2 with the C875 to touch them up and try to hide away all of the noise and bring up detail in the photos. I have only tryed this once with the z1080 with a quick photo I taken pretty much carelessly. I couldn't improve the photo at all on Paint Shop one bit, the detail was ...
...I have ever used, the Casio z1080 beats them all hands down, and at a price of £79 you'd think you're dreaming of something. If you are looking for a camera that looks good, compact and easy to use, as well as taking amazing photos that you would expect from a camera that is worth £100 more, take a look at this camera before any other. ...
