Kodak EasyShare Z1012 IS review

When compared to nimble, budget dSLRs, it's easy to sneer at superzooms. With its powerful, stabilised lens, decent 720p movies, the Kodak EasyShare Z1012 IS is a viable, cost-effective alternative to a dSLR. Its 12x zoom and excellent stabilisation definitely make it tempting Read more

Olympus mju 1010 review

Another off the mju production line from Olympus, the compact 10-megapixel 1010 is slim and sleek, with good picture quality and reliable focus and exposure. The CCD-shift stabilisation works well -- this is particularly important with its impressive 7x optical zoom. Face detection is effective too, particularly with full-face portraits Read more
