Top digital cameras of 2008
Wednesday, November 26th, 2008 by Jo
After our best mobile phones of 2008 post last week, we’ve moved onto digital cameras.
Whether you’re after a nice compact or a DSLR packed full of features, we’ve got the highest rated and the most popular in both categories on Decide What to Buy.
All ratings are by consumers who have all bought the products. They voted the £182, 13 megapixel Sony CyberShot DSC-W300 as the top compact digital camera of 2008.
There are great reviews on this camera with comments like:
“the picture quality is amazing”
“Brilliant little touches to the camera, like the musical slide show playback and the photo doctoring within the view back, love this camera!!”
It also gets great scores for categories like image and build quality:
And the compact that everyone’s looking at in the run-up to Christmas? It’s the 10 megapixel Panasonic Lumix DMC-FS5. It came out a few months ago but people still love the fact that it’s packed full of features. It’s currently around £125.
When it came to SLRs, the highest rated was the £478 Canon EOS 450D. With the same image quality score as the CyberShot DSC-W300, this camera really impressed its owners. One reviewer said it was “outstanding”.
The most popular SLR is the Olympus E-420. It’s a nice upgrade from last year’s E-410 and has face detection, shadow adjustment technology, 3.5fps continuous shooting rate for up to 9 Raw images and a one-touch white balance function. It’s around £350.
