Fujifilm FinePix S8000fd review

If you don't want to carry around a huge dSLR and a gaggle of lenses, the Fujifilm FinePix S8000fd might be your solution. With its 18x optical zoom equivalent to 27mm, this camera covers a wide area. It's ideal for both portraits and landscapes and leaves behind the hassle of extra lenses Read more

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ38 review

You might think the 12.1-megapixel Lumix DMC-FZ38 superzoom would be exorbitantly expensive, given its 18x zoom, super-fast autofocus, support for raw files, and high-definition movie mode. But it's not. It's one of the best superzooms available, and one of the cheapest too Read more

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX9V hands-on

The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX9V looks set to deliver long-zooming thrills in a compact package. We just hope the image quality is good enough to justify its high price. Read more

Casio Exilim EX-FH25 review

At first glance, the 10.1-megapixel Exilim EX-FH25 superzoom doesn't look particularly great. It's expensive and its 20x zoom range is nothing to get a nosebleed over. But its high-speed shooting capability really sets this camera apart from the pack, and makes it a great choice for capturing action shots from afar Read more

Canon PowerShot SX20 IS review

The 12.1-megapixel PowerShot SX20 IS with 20x zoom is a solid superzoom for the money. Its performance is generally slower than its predecessor's but its images are good, although they could be sharper, and its 720p movie capability is a welcome addition to the package Read more

Canon PowerShot SX1 IS review

The 10-megapixel PowerShot SX1 IS superzoom is one of the best cameras in its class, providing similar performance to a digital SLR, plus a 20x zoom lens and HD video, which dSLRs can't provide. Some irritating design quirks are compensated for by speedy performance and good picture quality Read more

Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ18 review

The Panasonic DMC-FZ18 is a mammoth superzoom, packing in 18x zoom lens and 8 megapixels. Despite its large dimensions, it's great fun to use, and is an uncluttered and responsive dSLR-like interface giving access to a wealth of features. It's all the fun without actually being a dSLR Read more

Olympus SP-560 UZ review

We loved its predecessor and we love the Olympus SP-560 UZ even more. Keeping the comfortable design, this superzoom's whopping lens stands out as its most prominent feature. Plus, it's packed with plenty of useful, advanced options, all available at a low price Read more
