There’s no doubt that professional SLR cameras, even the entry levels ones like the Nikon D3000, are incredibly versatile and create amazing photographs. The main issue many people have with them is their bulk; the weight alone is enough to drag you down and bringing one along often means bringing a whole separate bag with you. Luckily Canon, world leaders in digital photography, have come along and designed the Canon PowerShot SX120 IS, small enough to fit in your pocket unlike it's brother the Canon Powershot SX10 IS, but powerful enough for manual settings and a super fast shutter speed.

The Canon Powershot SX120 IS has an incredible built in 10x optical zoom lens, equivalent to an expensive 36-360mm SLR lens, and even at maximum zoom takes incredible shots. It takes great pictures in both good light and low light settings and the controls are very easy to use, even the delayed timer is easy to set. Combine all this with the massive 10 megapixels, fast shutter speed and image stabilization system and you’ll never miss out on that important shot again.

The Canon Powershot SX120 IS is a definite step up from standard point and shoot cameras but is easier to use than any of the Canon SLRs on the market and doesn’t have any of the size or weight issues either, it's a great deal cheaper too. Make that snap decision and upgrade your photographs with a Canon Powershot SX120 IS today.

The price tag on the more professional range of DSLR cameras can put off most hobbyist photographers, but the Canon EOS 7D is the first affordable advanced DSLR from Canon and is a welcome entrant in the pro-consumer market. The Canon EOS 7D is probably the best overall Canon APS-C sensor DSLR currently available. In terms of features and build quality the 7D is as good as it gets in this price range, and fares extremely well against its more expensive main rival, the Nikon D300s.


What makes it stand out about the others is its incredible 18.0-megapixel CMOS Sensor and Dual DIGIC 4 Image Processors for high image quality and speed, its advanced HD movie mode with manual exposure control and selectable frame rates and its intelligent viewfinder with 100 percent field of view, its wireless triggering and flash for taking photos with a remote control. The biggest welcome addition to the Canon EOS 7D is HD video, giving you the ability to capture the kind of quality video you would expect from a professional HD video camcorder but with far more features and much cheaper lens options.

The Canon EOS 7D is also dust and weather sealed, meaning you’ll never have to worry about taking outdoor shots again. The Canon EOS 7D is a sturdy and incredibly versatile DSLR that is advanced and yet affordable.

Are you a budding photographer that’s searching for the best entry-level DSLR on the market? If you fancy finally upgrading from a point and shoot you'll really enjoy the Nikon D5000, the incredibly compact and light weight 12megapixel DSLR with HD Video that’s great in low light conditions.

The Nikon D5000 is feature rich and highly advanced, but it’s also really easy to use to. You’ll get some great photos using the auto mode as well as the pre-set scene selections. Experience photographers will love the camera too, as it’s highly configurable. It has a really long battery life, is incredibly study and feels great in your hands.

The Nikon D5000 features Nikon’s most advanced technology such as their Silent Wave auto-focus mechanism in the lens, which is incredibly quiet and fast. It also features the same image senor as the far more expensive prosumer Nikon cameras range, such as theD90 and D3000. One of the really cool and much more obvious features of this camera is the Flip LCD screen which you can swivel down to 90 degrees and then rotate it to left or right, up to 270 degrees, making it quite versatile for low angle and overhead. This makes the D5000 incredibly versatile, you won’t even find this LCD screen on the Nikon D90.
