Canon PowerShot S5 IS review

The Canon PowerShot S5 IS is sturdy, fast and easy to use. With a 12x image stablised superzoom, it produces sharp, colourful images. The zoom even works when you switch to movie capture mode, making this camera a well-priced alternative to many dSLRs on the market Read more

Kodak EasyShare Z712 IS review

The Kodak EasyShare Z712 IS looks like a sawn-off SLR. It's a flexible camera, considering its 12x optical zoom lens, which makes for impressive image quality Read more

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H9 review

Sony's Cyber-shot DSC-H9 -- and its almost identical sibling, the DSC-H7 -- offers a whopping 15x optical zoom, along with an excellent flip-up LCD screen. It's perfect for shooting outdoors in daytime -- especially sport, children and animals Read more

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ8 review

Surprisingly compact, but still big enough to shoot comfortably with two hands, the FZ8 offers 7-megapixel resolution, optical image stabilisation, raw capture and a stonking 12x optical zoom -- and its ease of use makes it great for beginners Read more

Leica V-Lux 1 review

A repackaged version of Panasonic's Lumix DMC-FZ50, the most attractive feature of the Leica V-Lux 1 superzoom camera is its lens: a Leica DC Vario-Elmarit 12x optical zoom. Coupled with Panasonic's optical image stabilisation, this long reach becomes even more useful. It's a lot more expensive than the Panasonic, though Read more

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ50 review

Superzooms are nothing new but some are emerging that offer a viable substitute for an SLR. With a 35mm-to-420mm, 12x optical zoom and a 10.1-megapixel CCD sensor, the Lumix DMC-FZ50 is an attractive option for photographers who crave artistic control but don't want to bother with interchangeable lenses Read more

Kodak EasyShare P712 review

Kodak's EasyShare P712 includes a higher level of control than many of its cameras, such as manual white balance, full manual exposure and a trio of custom picture modes. Add a 12x optical zoom lens and you've got an impressive offering for anyone stepping up from a simple point-and-shoot camera Read more

Kodak EasyShare Z612 review

The Z612's beautifully sculpted plastic body feels solid and should stand up well to normal wear and tear, its 12x optical Schneider-Kreutznach zoom lens gives you plenty of reach, and the camera's image stabilisation should help keep things steady at the longer end of the zoom. But image quality doesn't quite match that of its peers Read more

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H5 review

Sony's Cyber Shot DSC-H5 sits at the top of the company's current crop of megazoom cameras. Fittingly, it has all the specs you'd expect in a camera of its class, including a large, image-stabilised 12x optical zoom lens, a 3-inch LCD screen, a 7.2-megapixel CCD sensor and a full set of manual controls Read more

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H2 review

Sony's Cyber-shot DSC-H2, is the follow-up model to the H1 and is more in step with the rest of the marchers. Its 12x zoom lens now carries the Carl Zeiss moniker, resolution has been bumped up to 6 megapixels and sensitivity has been stretched all the way out to ISO 1,000 Read more
