Editor's Pick: 5 Great Digital Cameras



Photographic memories last forever, so they say. Logically, therefore, digital camera memories should last forever plus one. We look at five great digital cameras for everyone from the semi-pro shooter to the home point and clicker.

Ricoh Caplio RR30
The Caplio RR30's tidy design makes it look more like a conventional camera with curves and wheel selectors rather than the box-like looks and clunky buttons of many digital cameras. At a closer inspection the silver and black camera has some nice features that you might expect to see in more high end digital cameras on the market.

 

Minolta Dimage F100
There's a lot more going on inside Minolta's Dimage F100 than its plain little face suggests. It may be styled like a point-and- shoot camera and sized for your pocket, but a close examination reveals an exhaustive array of manual controls, as well as some innovative automatic features.

 

Kodak LS420
With the LS420, Kodak has overhauled its digital cameras so they're not only easy to operate but also very handy to carry around. Unlike the bulky DX series of EasyShare cameras, this latest 2.1-megapixel offering sports a completely new and compact design

 

Sanyo VPC-AZ1EX
Sanyo's VPC-AZ1EX is aimed at a high end user, but comes without a high-end price. It wasn't that long ago that AU$1,499 would buy you only a very basic digital camera, but the 4 megapixel AZ1 comes with a large number of high tech bells and whistles.

 

Benq 300mini
While it's possible to spend thousands of dollars on a high-end digital camera, if all you want is the occasional low resolution shot for a web page, or something to mess around with, a much cheaper camera may do just as well for a fraction of the cost. It's this market that Benq's 300mini aims to conquer.

    Would appreciate update on you ...Anonymous -- 26/05/04

    Would appreciate update on your choice of good digital cameras for the non professional user.
    Could you accommodate my request? I also wonder how users without a computer get on as often there is no instruction manuals provided. I also find the instructions which are downloaded are too big...mine is 150 pages long. Surely a small printed on could be included with the purchase for the basics???
