Olympus SP-570 UZ review

The Olympus SP-570 UZ is an extremely promising superzoom, with the widest optical zoom range of any compact camera at 20x, plus built-in image stabilisation, a 1cm macro mode, full manual controls and the ability to shoot at an incredible ISO 6,400 -- and it's got a very tempting price tag too 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

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

Fujifilm FinePix S1000fd review

As enormous great 18x and 20x zoom lenses become more common, we're also seeing smaller superzooms, such as the 10-megapixel Fujifilm FinePix S1000fd. On top of its 12x optical zoom lens, it helps the user with straightforward controls and uses easily available AA batteries and SD memory cards Read more

Canon PowerShot SX120 IS review

Rival compact superzooms may be speedier, have more features and sport sleeker designs, but the 10-megapixel PowerShot SX120 IS with 10x zoom has an ace up its sleeve: its best-in-class photos. Clean, sharp and offering plenty of detail, its photos also deliver vivid and generally excellent colours Read more

Nikon Coolpix L100 review

The 10-megapixel Coolpix L100 is a budget superzoom aimed at beginners. While it's got few frills and is easy to use, it also boasts a solid build and good picture quality. We're slightly baffled by the lack of manual ISO control, and the LCD could be better, but this is a decent camera otherwise 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

Canon IXUS 1000 HS review

The Canon IXUS 1000 HS is another competent entry in the long-zooming compact-camera arena. There's little that lifts the 1000 above its ever-swelling pack of rivals, however. Read more

Canon PowerShot SX110 IS review

What the relatively compact, 9-megapixel PowerShot SX110 IS megazoom camera sacrifices in speed is more than made up for by its arguably best-in-class picture quality. It's also reasonably priced, and offers enough features to appeal to both inexperienced and seasoned users Read more
