Cameras

Memories may be priceless, but cameras sure aren't. That's what shows like SITEX are for - to give you a better price on the gadgets that capture your precious memories - and HardwareZone - to give you some advice on what's hot and what's not. Here are some contenders to replace the phone camera in your life.

 

Canon (Hall 4B, Booth 4B01)

 

 

Canon EOS M

Canon's first mirrorless camera brings a lot of advantages - superb DSLR-quality images, a beautiful, solid body and a responsive touch-screen. Canon DSLR users can mount their existing EF and EF-S lenses using the optional EF-EOS M mount adapter. But the camera's auto-focus is sluggish, the battery life is low and the external flash only comes with the most expensive kit. While some might like it, we wouldn't recommend it for the general user.

  • Sitex Price: $1149 (with 18-55mm lens, body available in black or red), $1219 (with 22mm lens and EOS M adapter, body available in black only), $1349 (with 18-55mm, 22mm lenses, and 90EX flashlight, body available in black only)
  • Usual Price: As above
  • Promotion: Free 2 x 16GB SD cards, EOS jacket set, EOS mini sling bag, EF lens video CD, SZ-02 tripod, cleaning kit and mystery gift
  • Online Warranty Promotion: Free LP E12 battery

Canon EOS 650D

Looking for an entry-level DSLR? The Canon 650D is an all-round capable entry-level DSLR, and the first DSLR in the world to come with a touch-screen. Even though the 650D comes with a hybrid AF that combines the auto-focus technologies of DSLR and digital compact cameras, the experience of shooting in live view still leaves something to be desired, so don't expect to use the monitor to shoot like you would with a mirrorless or compact camera. But when used like a traditional DSLR performance is punchy and the images turn out well. 

  • Sitex Price: $999 (body only), $1149 (body with 18-55mm lens), $1549 (body with 18-135mm lens)

While the X-E1 will be more affordable than the X-Pro1, it doesn't mean that Fujifilm skimped on this camera - the specs still pack a surprising punch like the same 16MP APS-C X-Trans CMOS sensor and image processing engine found in the X-Pro1.

  • Sitex Price: $1499 (body only), $2398 (with XF 35mm lens), $3297 (with XF 35mm and 18mm lenses), $3397 (with XF 35mm and 60mm lenses)
