Best D-SLR Entry Level: Nikon D50

Little sister of the popular Nikon D70, the 6.1 megapixel D50 gives amateurs the chance to shoot high-resolution images at a very low cost. The ergonomics are well thought out and no major feature or function is missing. In the field, the Nikon D50 gives a performance beyond that expected at this price point. The automatic exposure system compensates for highlights and shadows in difficult lighting conditions, the 5-point autofocus system locks on quickly to the subject, and continuous shooting is possible at up to 2.5 frames per second. When necessary, the seven Digital Vari-Program Modes help optimise the settings for the best results. The D50 is compatible with all the AF Nikkor lenses and accessories, which makes this model a serious starting point for digital SLR photography.

Best D-SLR Expert: Nikon D200

Though it’s less than 2000 euros, the Nikon D200 offers a resolution of 10 million pixels (3872 x 2592) with files of 32.78 x 21.95cm at 300 dpi. You can shoot with a sensitivity of up to ISO 400 and even 800 without too much concern about noise or colour shifts, while the camera’s 3D Color Matrix Metering II measures exposure superbly without blowing highlight detail. However, it’s the D200’s handling speed which really impresses: it’s up-and-running in just 0.15 seconds, and has a shutter lag of a mere 50 milliseconds. It offers 5 frames-persecond for at least 37 consecutive shots in Fine JPEG, and this stunning performance is supported by a new 11-area AF system that the photographer can select at will.

Best D-SLR Professional: Canon EOS 5D

The EOS 5D is the first digital camera that offers a full-frame, 24x36mm sensor at a realistic price, and there’s no compromise on image quality. With 12.8 million pixels available, there’s plenty of resolution for huge prints, and they’re big pixels, too, which means lower noise and higher quality in the final image. Picture sharpness is excellent, and the high resolution and superb image processing means artefacts are rendered invisible. Moreover, the size of the sensor means that the actual focal lengths of Canon EF lenses are used, and with no ‘crop factor’ to swing the results, this gives the angleof- view and the large viewfinder image that 35mm film photographers know and love.

Best Medium Format Digital System: Hasselblad H2D-39

Among the professional community, Hasselblad’s H body and lenses already have a reputation in line with the sumptuous quality of the classic film Hasselblads. The new H2D-39 however, is equipped with a digital back that boasts a massive 39 megapixels, and that sets an entirely new standard in the digital world. The increase in resolution was achieved by reducing of the size of the individual pixels from 9 to 6.8 microns, and the resulting loss of speed is compensated for by improved digital signal processing within the body. Make sure you’ve got plenty of storage space though, as the rise in pixel count means the file-size of a 16-bit TIFF from the H2D- 39 is now up to an incredible 224 MB!

Best Hi-end Professional Camera System: Sinar m System

The Sinar m System is a modular concept camera adopting digital backs. As a medium format camera it uses the newly developed high-end Sinaron Digital AF lenses built by Zeiss, a prism viewfinder and the Sinaron Digital AF Mirror Module. The Sinar m has several exposure metering modes and automatic exposure features, as well as TTL flash control. Shutter speed range is from 1/2000sec to 68 minutes. It can be used as a modern shutter system for the Sinar p3 view camera. Equipped with the Nikon mirror Module, it accepts a large number of Nikkor lenses.

Best Ultra Compact Digital Camera: Canon Digital Ixus 65

Featuring a high resolution 3 inch LCD screen, the steel-bodied Digital IXUS 65 draws on the original IXUS design concept to achieve a classically elegant styling. This innovative camera sports a unique Touch Control Dial, which can also be used to scroll through images during playback, while the useful Image Inspection Tool displays a newly-shot image and a magnified section at the same time. This allows you to check for sharpness quickly and easily. The Digital IXUS 65 incorporates ISO 800 to facilitate flash-free shooting indoors and minimise the effects of camera shake.

Best Compact Digital Camera: Fujifilm FinePix F30

The Fujifilm FinePix F30 Zoom is the world’s first digital compact camera to deliver ISO 3200 sensitivity at full resolution. This means that it can give sharp images, even at night-time, or with fast-moving subjects. Users are able to produce sharp images with minimal noise, no subject blurring and atmospheric lighting in dark conditions. In addition, the FinePix F30 Zoom has 15 new scene modes from underwater, beach and snow, to sunset, party and fireworks. These make it easier than ever for users to experiment with photography in a range of different lighting conditions.

Best Superzoom Digital Camera: Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ1

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ1 is the world’s smallest digital still camera with a 10x optical zoom, and this is made possible by the world’s first integrated retractable lens system with folded optics technology. The TZ1 allows unlimited consecutive shooting up to the capacity of the 13.4 MB built-in memory or the SD memory card. Panasonic has also equipped the TZ1 with its globally recognised Optical Image Stabiliser feature. O.I.S minimises the jitter from shaky hands that causes many photos to look blurred. Offering high quality image output, the TZ1’s new Venus Engine III also dramatically reduces noise levels even at increased ISO settings.

Best Multimedia Digital Camera: Samsung Digimax i6 PMP

The Samsung Digimax i6 is more than a digital camera; it’s a multimedia product. The Digimax i6 is only 18.5mm thick, and has an enhanced grip, using a unique curved design ensuring a steady shot when taking pictures. It has multimedia capabilities such as MP3 playback and the addition of a personal media player function. The user can even take pictures whilst listening to music. The i6 also has ASR (Advanced Shake Reduction). This unique algorithm reduces the effects of camera shake and helps the user take clear and natural pictures indoors or in dark conditions without using flash.

Best Consumer Lens: Sigma 10-20mm f/4-5.6 EX DC

With a versatile range of wide-angle focal lengths, a good optical performance and a budget price, the Sigma 10-20mm is an excellent investment for owners of DSLRs with APS-C format sensors. On a Nikon or a Canon D-SLR, it corresponds to around 15-30mm in 35mm film terms – a perfect wide-angle complement to the typical standard zoom which starts at an equivalent of 28mm. Its sharpness remains constant throughout the zoom range, and its compact size of 83x81mm and light weight of 470g makes it an ideal companion for shooting travel, landscapes or architectural photography.

Best Professional Lens: AF-S VR Micro Nikkor 105mm f/2.8G IF-ED

This lens is the first-ever macro model with an integrated optical stabilizer. This 105mm f/2.8 reaches a life-size reproduction ratio of 1:1 with an ambitious optical construction of 14 elements in 12 groups. It sports an ED lens and features new Nano Crystal coating technology, which is designed to further minimize flare. With internal focusing and a gyroscope for the optical stabilization, this Micro Nikkor lens shows nearly a 4-stop gain in speed if compared to the same lens without the Vibration Reduction feature. The lens is large and robust, but its filter thread is a mere 62mm. With an attractive price, it comes complete with a soft case and lens hood, and will be the lens of choice for discerning macro photographers.

Best Prestige Camera: Ricoh GR Digital

Ricoh has a reputation of producing cameras that stand out from the crowd, and the Ricoh GR Digital is no exception. The Ricoh GR Digital has a very high quality 28mm (35mm film equivalent) lens, which can be used with an optional converter to cover an angle as wide as 21mm. The new GR Digital inherits the superb image quality that made the awardwinning GR Series of 35mm film cameras so popular, and the style and performance is distilled into a compact body just 25mm thick. With a high-quality feel and superb expandability, this is the perfect lightweight tool for professional photographers and advanced amateurs.

Best Digital Camera Back: Leaf Aptus 75

The Leaf Aptus 75 represents the most recent digital camera back for high-end, professional photography. It offers a resolution of approximately 34 megapixels (6726x5040), resulting in a file size of around 200MB at 16-bit. The sensor features a 7.2-micron pixel size, and offers a sensitivity range from 50-800 ISO. The outputted RAW images can be compressed to reduce the file-size by half, and because the compression is lossless, there’s no reduction in quality in the 16-bit data that’s captured. Exclusive to the Aptus 75 is the big 6x7cm touch-screen LCD for displaying and controlling the final image quality. Leaf offers a range of storage options: CF card, 20 or 30 GB Digital Magazine, Firewire disk or computer hard disk.
