While I don't have a discography, I'll second this opinion. I first saw Dio
(with Campbell) about a year and a half ago on one of those Friday night
rock shows (taped live). I was amazed by Campbell. He's fast, clean, not 
too many pyrotechnics (i.e. finger-tapping, whammy-barring). Quite 
impressive. In the last 6 months or so, he has been discovered by the
guitar-playing world, having had articles about him in Guitar Player and
Guitar World. You can certainly find a complete discography in the interview
in Guitar Player. (As an aside, one of his idols is Rory Gallagher, another
great (<- I don't use this word indiscriminately) Irish guitar player. Any
other Gallagher fans out there?)
