Hi guys

Anyone know of some websites that have current reviews about cameras that
are broken down by price etc that a search can be done on - was looking at
the PC mag one but most reviews were done during 2004 - a year ago is a long
time in this market.

What am I looking for?

Digital camera
at least 6x zoom
at least 4MP
budget below $400 AUD
Novice and amatuer use

Any suggestions?

Cheers

Greg

You will probably need to spend a little more to include extra batteries and
a couple of memory cards.

I've always found www.dpreview.com good, too. My advice would be to read
the reviews carefully, then read them again and then read them again;
always bearing in mind the fact that the people who write them are
walking on egg-shells, with their duty to be honest with their readers
on one side and their responsibility to the manufacturers on the other.
So *read between the lines*, no review on this site (or any review on
any of the other decent review sites) is ever going to tell you 'don't
buy this, buy that'.

Regards,
Nick.

http://www.dpreview.com has the most critical reviews of the sites
that I have found. For a camera shopper, this makes it a very useful
site.

http://www.steves-digicams.com is also pretty good. It has the
advantage of posting reviews rather soon after a product is announced.

The sites others have mentioned are the real bibles. If you want more of a
quick-and-dirty decision tree, this one gives recommendations based upon
prospective use of the camera, and/or megapixels, and/or price:
