This section brings you professional camera reviews specially written to meet the needs of the users of our portal. Emphasis is placed on compact cameras, which are suitable for use in the project, but semiprofessional and professional cameras will not be exceptions.

Canon EOS 7D 19.02.2010 More

	Digital reflex cameras certainly belong at the top of contemporary photographic equipment, and Canon deserves a spot among the leading manufacturers of these advanced machines. Much like compact cameras, digital reflex cameras offer various possibilities to choose from. This review introduces the most advanced model of the Canon digital SLR utilizing the APS-C image sensor - Canon EOS 7D.

Casio Exilim EX-H10 03.02.2010 More

	Thanks to digital technology, the field of photographic equipment saw the entrance of companies that had very little to do with cameras when film ruled the industry. One could name, for instance, Panasonic, Sony, and Casio. This Japanese company has long been more than just a calculator manufacturer. Among other things, Casio’s portfolio features digital cameras, which are definitely not uninteresting.

Canon PowerShot G11 04.01.2010 More

	If you even remotely follow the development of digital photography technology, you could not have missed that one of the basic parameters – resolution – has slowly and continually been improving. This year, and apparently for the first time in history, the opposite took place: for its flagship product among compact cameras, model PowerShot G11, Canon used a sensor with a lower resolution than its predecessor, the G10.

Samsung ST550 18.12.2009 More

	Digital technology allowed conventional optical viewfinders in cameras to be replaced by electronic displays (which of course have a lot of other functions). The typical characteristic of digital cameras is thus a sizable LCD display on the back side. But would you think of placing a display on the front side of the camera, too?

Olympus μ TOUGH-6010 10.12.2009 More

	We perceive the overwhelming majority of cameras as sensitive devices that need to be handled with due care because unfavorable conditions such as humidity or dust are usually not tolerated by the electronics and the fine mechanics of cameras. But there are exceptions – the so-called outdoor devices – designed to withstand relatively rough conditions.

Fujifilm FinePix F70 EXR 01.12.2009 More

	There are hundreds of types of compact digital cameras on the market and many are like peas in a pod. None the less, it is possible to find interesting items in manufaturers’ selections, even though they may look very inconspicuous at first glance. This is exactly the case with the Fujifilm FinePix F70 EXR.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF1 17.11.2009 More

	Given that in our review, we declared the Olympus Pen E-P1 a legend the moment it was introduced, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF1 can be labeled ‘another one’. Actually, it is a direct competitor to the Olympus and as a matter of fact, only the second model of this new concept of professional compacts with exchangeable optics.

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H20 08.11.2009 More

	There are many photographers, who get along with a lens with a fixed focal length, but many people prefer zoom lenses – lenses with a variable focal length. And quite a few users love the so-called wide-range zooms, which can “zoom” ten times and more.

Canon Digital IXUS 200 IS 24.10.2009 More

	Only demanding photographers are willing to carry around heavy equipment. The common user prefers smaller and lighter devices, which can be carried around in a small bag. And if a camera is literally pocket-sized, has an attractive design and interesting functions, its success on the market is guaranteed. This is all true of the Canon Digital IXUS 200 IS.

Olympus Pen E-P1 22.10.2009 More

	It is easy to get the impression that what is here today may be gone tomorrow when confronted with the rapid evolution of digital photography equipment. But exceptions do exist, such as the Olympus Pen E-P1 which bares the symbol of an established immortal. What makes this camera so exceptional that it has earned a place in the hall of fame of digital cameras?
