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

Kodak EasyShare Z8612 IS review

The Kodak EasyShare Z8612 IS fits a superzoom lens on to a compact body. A slick, contemporary design complements its svelte profile, but it still manages to hold a 12x zoom. Optical image stabilisation is on board, as are manual controls, making this shooter easy to handle 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-TZ8 review

Panasonic has two superzooms: the movie-oriented TZ10 and this, the everyday shooting TZ8, which is much cheaper. The thing is, the TZ8 is very nearly as good as the fantastic TZ10, making very few concessions. But which is better value for money? Read more

Canon PowerShot SX30 IS review

Canon's attempt to trump all comers in the superzoom market with the PowerShot SX30 IS and its 35x optical zoom is largely successful, although it suffers from inherent compromises and the same plasticky build that plagues its predecessors. Read more

Fujifilm FinePix F550EXR review

A list of features as long as your arm and an equally lengthy optical zoom all work in the Fujifilm FinePix F550EXR's favour. But this superzoom has a number of flaws that prevent it from achieving greatness. Read more

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX5V review

Sony has unleashed the full force of its boffins' brains on the 10.2-megapixel Cyber-shot DSC-HX5V superzoom. An uncanny panorama mode, GPS, super-fast autofocus and a 10x zoom are among the numerous treats on offer. The aggressive noise-reduction software is almost the only downside 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

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
